It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

This is genuinely really bad, the kind of shit that guarantees a bad outcome. Very dodgy

Jewish students who are facing actual antisemitism on campus, and who testified about it, overwhelmingly feel that the Trump administration's cynical use of antisemitism to attack higher education is making them less safe: www.jta.org/2026/02/23/u...

The state of the Union is that the broad majority of voters don't approve of the president or his policy agenda

Remember when McCain sang "Bomb Iran"? That's the type of "good republican" centrist fetishists want to give power to.

Congratulations to the capitalist bosses who spent the last four years propping up Nazis to crush labor, the exact thing that propped up the first Nazis.

The thing about AI safety is that nobody at any company making AI seems to even know what's safe means.

All of this Seedance stuff is just the logical endpoint of a fan culture built around hype over shit like EPIC FAN FILM OF HOW LUKE SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT that are just dogshit videos of a guy moving his sword really fast.

helping out twitter's proliferation of nazi, misogynist, and racist content is not worth the purported value of posting there. if a pol like aoc quits twitter and posts elsewhere she has enough heat to attract attention to that spot (bluesky) without losing traction.

Is someone calling in, doing a Trump impression and pretending to be Trump's call-in alter ego? There's no way this is actually him, right? Like.

You know that scene in PRINCE OF EGYPT where they just straight redo the scene from THE LION KING where he gets a message from beyond that he had to return to save his people and then there’s a montage of returning across the desert, only it’s way way better in THE PRINCE OF EGYPT?

Something else I think is funny is that Alien is canonically in the Aliens vs. Predator universe but Aliens vs. Predator are is not canonically in the Alien universe.

I do not want 14-18 inches of snow tomorrow, thank you.

Utenaaaaaaa

I dunno, I think it's a bad idea for us to fund businesses run by people who hate the very idea of humans who are not them existing and whose business model is to make those humans miserable and probably dead.

?????

Maybe like two years ago, when this shit started picking up, I went on a date with a woman who was an architect, and she started talking about how people wanted AI to replace most of her industry, and we both just got so depressed we stopped making conversation and never went out again

Still very mixed on the film, but damn if this doesn't remain one of the best end credits needle drops in a while, especially the very slight rescoring of it. A version I wish was available on the soundtrack! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NABv...

Hahahahhahahahah I forgot about this shit, I love it, "Making copycat slopart with the tools that have stolen the work of billions for the profit of a few is punk rock."

That’s not naan, that’s NaN

sir, a second trump appointee has hit the tariffs

Whatever's replaced Tiktok in 2034 is going to be rife with people doing ruin porn of empty data centers and decaying, half-built ICE camps.

The Supreme Court:

Brett Kavanaugh: While potentially illegal under US law for a president to become a giant worm god, I know from my time in business that "the spice must flow".

What makes me despondent is that all a company has to do to reset the clock on this kind of thing is release a new model with a hype cycle saying the new model changes everything.

fucking. Kavanaugh. "Okay, maybe this is illegal but it would be expensive and difficult to remediate! Wouldn't it make more sense to just *keep* all the money?"

Any loss for this administration rules, so I'm glad that Tariff Otaku got his toy taken away in such a public and humiliating fashion, even if the win is mixed with stuff like: 1. Businesses get a payday 2. Prices stay higher despite costs dropping 3. Trump takes credit for any economic benefits

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

The Supreme Court did something right, which means they've probably got an epically wrong decision on deck.

I unfortunately cannot get to the article through the paywall, but I think that AI productivity measurements that don't explicitly account for outages like this are lying. What's funny is, those measurements are *still* not proving to be ROI positive *despite* not including this stuff.

I forgot that every LLM's logo was a butthole

Can they name one physics or technologies that Grok has invented or discovered, name a consciousness sent to the stars, describe one thing about the universe not already known?

are you telling me that these film makers couldn't find a single artist to work with?

How did Andrew Lloyd Weber never get anywhere near this good (“Damned For All Time”) again? I’m speaking as someone who can sing practically all of Phantom of the Opera along with it.

Out head of all of health just shit himself in fear thirty times in a row.

The real trick if living in a Catholic/Jewish household in early spring is watching both Jesus Christ Superstar and Prince of Egypt.

Jesus Christ Superstar is the greatest musical of all time.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

There's a lot of discourse over whether Paradox should rename the Crusader Kings series since that's neither accurate nor a great name at this point, and I'd like to help them by proposing the new title of Nic Pizzolatto's Truesader Kings.

The only thing you get out of playing along with Trump is humiliation. Enjoy it!

I am once again asking everyone to stop framing the actions of this administration as "distractions". They're doing everything they want to do. And even if they think this would be a distraction, we went through this with Venezuela: it isn't and won't be. Attack the action as wrong on the merits!
