"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

forgive me father for I have blogged simulacrum.pika.page/posts/but-th...

Happy Hollandaise!🎄

sorry I'm late! I have at last broken my silence on Pantone's Color of the Year johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/cloud-danc...

Sabrina Carpenter: Braver and more powerful than Nintendo and Microsoft combined.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately. Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

every time i open instagram

hi i made this for discord if you want it it only works on pc and android

Promised consort Travis Kelce

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

explicitly rightwing private equity and the saudis are gonna cut a bloody swath through what's left of the gaming industry and tech dickheads will be deploying the passive cop shooting voice to report on it

I think CO: Expedition 33 is still GOTY but Hades 2 is making me question it

It's okay. When we're gone the bugs and trees will fix it. They'll fix all of it.

I love every take like 'look, communism means one brand on store shelves' when the most popular store in america is CostCo, which is a giant warehouse building with products on pallets that has mostly one giant brand

D This is the most one-sided version of this type of post I have ever seen

I’m rereading Lord of the Rings and have been enjoying making some drawings of various characters (mostly while I’m at work at the library). Question is, who else should I draw?

AND trump had a stroke? oh, what a week! what a week of weeks!

😃

Love to read a passage like this and be like "wait I thought we blew up the boat" And then be like "oh I see, this is a DIFFERENT war crime involving the summary execution of an entire boatload of civilians"

Who's your favorite Green? Arts Green or STEM Green?

Has anyone done monkey's paw/genie's wish curse of immortality as full body cancerous growth? Closest I can think of visually is Elden Ring Godwyn but that was an inexplicable symptom of soul death rather than immortality applied at a cellular level.

if you have to use an app to control a physical appliance or object then it was made incorrectly

Silksong taking seven years with the team working at the pace they wanted with the team they wanted is only a problem if you personally believe that you deserved to have the game in your little piggy trotters sooner. "the fanbase was upset" who gives a shit. fuck the fans. make it how you want

"it's misogynistic and homophobic to say astrology is stupid" no, it's misogynistic and homophobic to assert that you can't criticize pseudoscience because you think women and queers need a metaphysical security blanket

Both of these absolutely, but on the latter point be careful. Many places will swiftly fire any individual given a whiff of unionization. So y'know don't blurt that shit out casually at the water cooler.

My review of Cyberpunk universe's slang: 'Corpo' is perfect and I'm disappointed it took this long for it to be used more IRL. The rest range from meh to lame.

Evergreen

in retrospect i guess it was inevitable there would be attempts to frame any pushback against tech as the same "annoying hippie lib busybody" stereotype the left has been getting hit with for decades

On one hand: if he wasn't a mutant capable of taking copious amounts of drugs he'd be dead a long time ago. On the other hand: God fucking damnit RIP Ozzy

I'm guessing if the first few levels of Doom 2016 were boring to me its not going to get much better down the line huh... Shame

I wrote about Trump, Epstein, TV, and why this scandal feels different johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/may-the-be...

We need to make admitting this embarrassing

By the way Christians your God isn't real and you've spent your whole life trapped in a death cult. Sorry.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's Polygondwanaland is a no-skips album made even more perfect by the band releasing it for FREE under a Creative Commons Attribution license for anyone to do as they will with it since the day it was released.

The good reason to hate on Jay-Z is that he's a capitalist who promotes capitalism as a means of salvation. I hate Jay-Z because Empire State Of Mind is shit and has been overplayed worse than anything else.

"Why don't you criticize Republicans as much as the Democrats!!1" is the single dumbest take on the internet and just confessing they need supervision to tie their shoes. The GOP are subhuman pedophiles, but why should I yell into the void about them instead of the people ostensibly on my side?

Existing consistently at the cusp of a panic attack

Biden wanted his legacy to be stopping Trump. But by surrendering to his delusions that the GOP would 'wake up' and reject him rather than throwing him in prison, Biden just gave his cohort 4 years to build the plan they're now executing. One of America's greatest failures, if not the greatest.

anyone who had a position of power (in congress, in the party, in the doj) or influence (like op-ed space in a major newspaper or tv spot), and counseled against swift and punitive legal action, got the biggest question of their lives wrong and should never have power or influence again.

It's like a grim fusion of 1984 and Tim and Eric

look, neither of them are actually gonna kill themselves. musk will brood on it and mope around conspicuously, but he ultimately lacks the conviction required. as for trump, he lacks the depth of interiority. could a beetle commit suicide? could an amoeba? absurd to consider

Great passage here that really gets at how I think a lot of otherwise good intentioned or smart people fall into liberal complacency. How the scope of our lives has made progress appear inevitable and faith that the machine is run by competent "adults" who will ensure that future.

ok then... deleted all our songs that we uploaded to Soundcloud and now closing account: soundcloud.com/terms-of-use (open the link and search for the word "train")
