one of the most baffling things about all this is that I really can't understand why nobody in government seems to be saying "guys the strategy isn't working"

Why are you doing AI marketing now? These systems are built by stealing incredible amounts of IP and lose astonishing amounts of money, always on the promise that one day it will produce a digital slave. Please do some research and call them on their previous predictions which are all false

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

it's kind of nuts that the Empire unveiled the Death Star, destroyed Alderaan, and had the Death Star blown up on the same day. Imagine what the memes on Star Twitter were like.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time
Although our group chat is called Gaaaaaaaames so maybe that counts
@mackeza.bsky.social I have a games club with my friends (not sure how to push it larger/if we want to) and giving it a special name never even occurred to us, is it normal for book/games clubs to be named?
Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

It's like he's trying to shed as much support of actual labour voters as possible
@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social Your statement on trans people having to use toilets that will literally risk them being assaulted mean I will never vote Labour again. A party that is prepared to throw a vulnerable minority under the bus is a disgrace, no matter what rosette they wear.
I am just a simple cartoonist, any historians know how it works out when rule of law is entirely dependent on the whims of a mad leader?

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.
The entire US right wing media ecosystem is based on making up a world they can be angry about, and now they are in power with grudges against that fantasy.

I feel like this should launch an enquiry and possibly police action as to who is lying to so many people about Nigel Farage.
I have literally no clue what to make of the fact that this is a stirring post about the need for European unity in the face of Russian aggression and US disengagement from *checks notes* Richard Branson.
Altman is an expert grifter, of course it works on Trump

Grifters assure us their grift is still fine
I can tell you one thing, the Magic 8-Ball industry never had a $1 trillion valuation loss in the course of one trading day.
At least they claim it's cheaper. But it doesn't matter as the grifters are in trouble. Can they grift their way out of this? Wonder how MS earnings on Wednesday will go.
I wonder how they will grift their way out of this?

Got married over the weekend! 🎉
Something I wasn't fully prepared for was the come down after a wedding. So many friends and family seen for so short a time, unlikely to get that mix ever again. Many won't be seen for a long time
Success!

I, for one, left Threads because it was an inferior product. If I wanted to spend my time in the best digital Nazi bar I would have returned to X, however, I want to spend my time on the best microblogging platform, which is why I am on Bluesky. Any real or perceived "virtue signaling" is a bonus ☺️
There was a brief bit of sun?

Wow the players choice final round options on the game awards are awful. A dlc, 3 gatcha games and another souls like. BMWK the only real game on there
Feels like they have some good stuff now for Eldritch horrors in films etc, so that's something?
Oh good, more planet warming slop
So easy to be cynical and glib. No-one is under any illusions about the way events often play out in the Middle East, or the character of the groups who defeated Assad. But it is ok to hope. It is ok to celebrate the end of a dictator.
(this is largely hyperbole, but that's the impression I'm getting from all of it). There's also those using it for reading/writing messages to people, somehow making electronic messaging worse. And the near endless nightmare that is recruiting/job hunting. Atm it mostly seems to make stuff worse.
It's because it's primarily Ex Crypto bro conmen in the biggest positions/face of it, as well as being the most into it. Also the most public LLMs are plagiarism machines powered by stolen art, run by companies that are financially insolvent and using ALL the electricity to do it.
Massive away win for the little fella.
Bluesky is truly having an incredible run as Threads' head of product
Maybe for some, but it won't work with multiplayer that is so foundational to many video game experiences. This does make a lot of assumptions about AI improving despite many hurdles and incompetent companies

A friend recommended Matthew Yglesias' "Common Sense Democrat manifesto" to me. I think it's pretty bad, but not for the reasons he wants me to. It's not that I want to fight him on any of these "common sense" principles, it's that the premise is wrong. And that clarified something for me. 1/x
