You push back and resist. You let them know that if you try it you’re gonna go through some things. Watch them blink.

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group 1) you are the audience, giving it prompts 2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt 3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And 4) it has the factual accuracy of improv 5) it does not understand comedy
This your boy? Your funny boy who you love who is gonna save us from fascism?
Like the football game, it ends with a bill.
john harbaugh’s middle name is william he is a secret bill hiding in plain sight open your third eye
the bills. amazing.
Been a long time since I seen the word boite out here in Squaresville, yessir.
One of the many funny things about Derrick Henry high school highlights is that you never once have to ask "which guy in this clip is Derrick Henry" www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e2y...
He was paired with the not-yet Road Warrior Hawk who was wrestling as Drake "The Magic Man" Magister.
Little League coaches, neighbors, pedestrians using cell phones to record ICE arrests put themselves at risk every day to fight fascism. Meanwhile, powerful billionaires grovel and debase themselves so the mad king might exempt them as he ruins the rest of the country.
Congrats to all of you!
I remember when Bernie Madoff backed off his claims about ROI, and they let him go. That's what they have to do when you declare backoff.
this is the way
you're not supposed to have players in the nfl named dalton kincaid. someone named dalton kincaid solves crimes with a prototype motorcycle that sasses him back
if we have to see chris simms and jac collinsworth, devin mccourty should get to have his mom do interviews
the autocracy is bad, but the bookings are very very good
robust, full, reverberating
the nfl should have to mic all the uprights, and we should know which doink is the loudest of the day
all i care about is chaos and the glazers' suffering, and i was watching the homerest homer gradually decompensate until he asked the rest of us if he was going crazy, and i was like, no, they are throwing the flag at this point like it's the "uh oh the bucs did literally anything" button
tim apple and the geico gecko step into the teleporter
Wesley Clark, Mark Clark, Land Clark, Petula Clark...they're all on the list, and they all know why.

[ancient egyptian standup comic] see guys from the upper kingdom, they observe funerary rites like THIS. but us guys from the lower kingdom, we observe funerary rites like THIS. See this guy knows what I’m talking about [pointing at man with the head of a bird]
Powerful, prescient piece from Ezra today that doesn't shy away from the stakes or from where we go from here. Don't sleep on this one.
Ezra Klein with a blockbuster today about the Super Bowl. It really lays out the stakes of what the Chiefs are facing, down 24-0 at the half, but don't assume the Eagles are walking away with this one.
Oh boy. Here we go.
boy said he was hungry and going to get some halberders
omg MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!!
[extremely james burke voice] just to be sure, were you in the enola gay at the time?
The thing that bothers me about it is I know for a fact they mash the grapes with their feet.
This wine got two jugs way up on Wine Lactator.
I don't understand, this wine had a 105 rating on WineYolo.
USF just wins ballgames.
it's like textbook parvo
wow nice argumentum ad buffoonum, classic applight to gasthority
Referee: "Holding, offense, number 64" Number 64: "FUCK!"
Turning around a year after this fails with a new model that says you can't appease Patriot Front et al.—but if you exclude them from the model, you can make racism happy at 37 percent. Donald Trump and his approach have failed. We can't keep putting tariffs on our allies—it's time to tariff people.
I propose we tax immigrants at 43 percent, the exact rate at which racism is happy.
I'm kind of shocked that anyone is still proposing technocratic solutions to the "debate" over immigration. Even if this were a good idea (and it is not), Republican elites and media will never tell their base about it. You can't policy your way out of a propaganda problem!
coulda sworn for a second that the play by play said, "Earthwork, the tight end..."
istg, it's like the earlham of mcalesters
i try not to get too fanboyish about carceral-state solutions, but i always liked that they made napoleon emperor of elba, and i'd enjoy the canadian parliament naming that didulo lady queen of stainless steel toiletry
Iowa's in double digits in one half, so it's that kind of day all around.
Some thoughts about the Great Khan heading into Chicagoland's big Reverse Fort Sumter weekend.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
I think sometimes that history's dupes—like Weimar Communists—are sympathetic because at least they were following their own affirmative theory of how things work. Instead we have people whose worldview anticipates loss, assumes it must halve the distance with its enemy and boxes itself into waiting
their phones are ringing, but they're all too distracted
actually Verhoeven didn't make things stupid enough
Don’t print lies in the newspaper
Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.
“I too came from a poorish family,” says the 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, eldest son of Major-General Gilbert Monckton, 2nd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley and Marianna Letitia, Viscountess Monckton of Brenchley.
“That’s not a reluctant confession of admiration, THIS is a reluctant confession of admiration.”

Kicking game should have been more trad.
god is testing him because he knows his strength
You try making a kick in that environment (the consciousness that at any given moment, somewhere in the world, a young girl is learning the alphabet)
that was so fast! and so well practiced! and i can't remember seeing a play like it before! and i deserve to have the kicker be someone who went to Rhode Island Above the Floodplain University, be into making his own wine, have a charity about medical clinics for the unhoused, and be totally normal
fuck harrison buttlord, but that was such a cool field goal
I think if there was actually anyone who’d committed a crime of any significance on that boat we blew up for no reason, everyone in the world would know their names by now

"Little Karen action." Might be the funniest thing a baseball announcer has ever said in baseball announcer lingo

We were in a race against the Nazis, and right now you're wetting your pants about losing one invented by our own. Trinity was at least a deliverable on Day 1; by the time AI does what it claims, you might already have built a time machine and traveled to when you're a viable presidential candidate.
Mmm. On the other hand, recorded history.
I described reactionary centrism—where liberal parties seek votes by meeting reactionary ideology halfway and concede things like civil rights—as toxic. Ridiculing those who bargain with those rights for an ideologically incoherent/destructive gesture in the longterm isn't toxic—it's necessary. HTH.
clapping my hands like a child at the thought of them trying to sell trump as pedophile donnie brasco, ol donny deep cover, mr. "welcome to the villa, i hear you worked with lou perlman and r kelly, would you like to see secret defense plans?"
BREAKING: ERIC ADAMS IS GONNA KEEP WEARING HIS POLO SHIRT FOR 4 YEARS
You can have both if you want! (Well, up until primary day, I suppose.) This is just advocacy for more of the one and less of the other.
Fascinating. Can you tell me how much the right-wing is paying me right now?
Condolulations!
A few "ugh, a billionaire" responses—and I get it—but two things I think push back against that: 1. Pritzker is further left now than when he assumed office. He's proven that he will listen to activists and respond to pressure by moving left. 2. [florid hannibal lecter pronunciation] Effff Dee Arrr.
i want you to go to this website, w w w dot n f l dot com, and just check it out
Swap right for left, keep the credentialism but skip the academic part, and he's describing a party that controls all three branches of government. And I can see his argument about why this would automatically not work for a different party, once I also apply the "because I want to think so" filter.
I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.
"The phone in the office is connected, and we can see Representative Jeffries' number, but as for staff answering it and using it to talk to him, I guess people are going to have to figure that out."
I'm sorry, I don't think I'm the ideal person to have this kind of conversation with you. We part ways on the matter of having the first idea what we're talking about.

i'm just so worried about what tesla's trading at right now
It's like the warped sabermetrics "Be A GM"-style brain rot spreading. I'm not going to sweat the company bottom line. I don't start paying attention like ownership until I start getting paid like ownership.
big mistake, he has a lot of plans for what he's going to not do with that money
Well you can tell by the way I walk and walk / Hey I'm walkin' man / I'm trying to walk
a thing i think about RFK, Jr., now and again, is that he slid into harvard on his name and could've slid into any number of well-compensated no-show jobs on the same and he was still like, "no. narcotics sales."
I think @willsommer.bsky.social was the first person to notice someone at Infowars appears to have accidentally projected a frame from a very specific fetish genre of Russian women in heels getting stuck in mud as a backdrop
Nobody who voted to confirm RFK is fit to hold public office
i bet you could win them over with an original song called "so old"

It's crazy to look at a website where you can start an hours-long brawl by typing the word "bananas" in the wrong spot and think it's directing the Democratic Party
For such a bright guy, you'd think spending all his time with and gradually metamorphosing into a Silicon Valley race scientist would give Nate Silver more facility with pathologizing groups of people on the basis of their accurately ridiculing him.
trying to think of ANY level of public/factual/moral humiliation that could penetrate the layers of protective psychopathic scar tissue wrapped around RFK Jr's brain and probably the only one is his seeing a test audience of babysitters from broken homes watching his sex tapes and screaming laughing
Lindsey Graham asking himself if he made a wish on a Monkey's Paw, realizing Trump gave him every toy he could ever wish for—bombed Iranians, wasting North Koreans above the 38th parallel—and all of them were broken, all looked nothing like the picture on the box, and he had to say thank you for it.
Most admins would settle for making a drunk helm the DoD and Leisure Suit Larry the head of FEMA, but that's the greatness difference. This one fucks up ALL the ways. "Signal the Atlantic monthly" fuck ups? Oh yeah. "If we fuck up, maybe literally everyone dies" levels of fuck up? Buddy, you bet.
We should call the docket Drunken Yale Rapist. Like, "Looks like we have a new ruling from the Drunken Yale Rapist." This might cause some confusion because of how many there are, but we have lots of state supreme courts and still make it work.
@lanaberry.bsky.social Nelly.
Once again, America's team loses. A clear and devastating rebuke of the President's agenda.
[first day as a US Open tennis scheduling assistant] and since most people go to sleep by midnight I am guessing we will not want to routinely have important matches taking place at that hour? BOSS: I cannot stress enough just how unimportant that is
