If I had a tenth of 1% Musk's net worth I could give away $500k a month for the next 32 years of my life until I retire, and still have more money than I gave away. And somehow being told no by a woman is the worst thing to him, like that of WW3.

it drives me crazy that the preferred solution for these guys to ostensibly avoid war is to return to the world order and social structures that gave us 100% of prior World Wars

Agreed. There was a point I felt vaguely okay with him but he has gone full mask off. Praising RFK. Vetoing state wide AI regulations. Flirting with white supremacy. He can retire to his millions and we don’t need to hear from him again.

Me just holding up a mirror to any cops I see on the street.

they get this info from everyone who commits suicide with a doctor's help and it goes: 1. loss of autonomy 2. difficulty engaging in enjoyable activities 3. loss of dignity 4. feeling like a burden 5. concerns about untreatable pain 6. finances

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

In 2019, a group of researchers found they could accurately predict the life expectancy of the vast majority of people in the United States with only one piece of information: The Zip Code they were born in. That's how deep racism and classism run in this country.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

this will turbo charge the weird

I just want to once again congratulate every business and media outlet who tripped over their own dicks to take right-wing outrage in uncritical good faith and ruin peoples’ careers over extremely tame internet comments about Charlie Kirk 48 hours before immediately forgetting he ever existed.

this perfectly enjoyable reply was hidden - not by me and not via label what's the point of atproto's vaunted stackable moderation if you have a second unconfigurable shadow mod algo that hides good replies? you need to make this awful feature opt-in @pfrazee.com @aaron.bsky.team @jay.bsky.team

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

bluesky’s mods banned me for not mourning charlie kirk & only reversed it to a temp suspension after public pressure. anyways

i do not need to be nice about the death of a neonazi who sexually harassed me back when i was on twitter, actually. bella ciao, babes.

No, Anthropic and OpenAI are not like Uber - they burn way more money and have no path to profitability, nor is AI "like Amazon Web Services," which cost less than $70bn over 9 years and had a proven worth and path to profitability almost immediately. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-mythbuste...

What stage of capitalism is this again?

Sounds about right.

Gravy Boats also implies a Gravy Navy and that implies GRAVY MARINES.

Relationships are about compromise. My partner is better at decorating and organizing the house, I'm better at having kids throw elbows and knees at every soft spot on my body.

"I dropped out of college, it must be the fault of H1B visa holders that I can't get a job in a field I have no experience in, in this essay on Economic Anxiety I will explain why Trump is right and minorities should be deported to concentration camps"

27-year-old former comsci student with a single github repo containing a single python script. If you aren't going to finish your degree, you can't expect to land a decent programming job when your only listed relevant experience is "earned a GPA of 4.0/4.0 before leaving the university"

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers. I use social media to talk to people about fish. When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish. When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

This entire weekend

Bexar County is a very blue county and Republicans know they can't win in a general election. So what have they done? In the DA's race they've switched sides to try and earn the Democratic nomination. This makes it super important for true Democrats to consolidate around an authentic Dem #LockeforDA

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

Right! Links to preorder, should you need them! And as the book comes out in March, if you want to give a gift for Christmas, we are also giving away FREE printable Molly files!

I didn't want to see Zootopia 2 but damn now I kind of do.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

the vice president of the united states is just a lil smol bean with no power or influence

“Benoit Blanc but everyone else is muppets” is such a gimme and I’m so annoyed Rian Johnson has rejected it

Things we learn: 1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban 2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal 3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants And much more. Read it.

Being forced to recognize you are part of a society was the "worst" things to happen to so many wealthy people. So many decades of telling people you could be in another world if you're wealthy came crashing down and they lost it.

They’re not blaming RFK Jr at all. They’re blaming Biden, COVID vaccines, and Fauci’s CDC. They’re also using Canada’s lower vaccination rates to distance blame from Trump and RFK Jr. They’re also painting anti-vac views as a valid response to “Biden’s mishandling of COVID” and COVID vaccines

Staring into the sky at grey clouds as a light cold rain falls. I'm not angry at the weather, but I am disappointed.

As i've said before, the renaissance was just 15th century OnlyFans. Artists discovering rich dudes will pay big bucks for pictures of their favourite Greek god, goddess or bible figure with their bits out.

7News Australia reports that the hero who jumped and disarmed one of the terrorist shooters His name is Ahmed el-Ahmed A 43 year old married father of two He owns a fruit shop in Sutherland No experience with guns He was walking past He has two bullets in his arm

Iconic is seriously where I would file this. #EatTheRich #CoporateGreedWillKillUsAll

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

"Not everyone is ready for this new era of airport athletics. Some of you are still out here asking for 'reliable Wi-Fi,' 'functional baggage carousels,' or 'a security line that doesn’t resemble the world’s saddest cruise buffet queue.' But those are small-minded dreams."
