a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

This has Schumer personally written all over it. I’d bet a lot of money he asked for this to be added

Let's say you're right and Minority Leader Schumer opposes the deal but simply can't control his caucus. Let's also say you have a second grade girl available for the job

Dog I cannot deal with the knowledge that I personally have the financial resources necessary to influence professional sports. This is untenable, we’re gonna have to ban gambling wholesale

Setting aside round 75 of “is the economy good” arguments with Stancil, from a messaging standpoint the left should not be promising to bring down consumer prices. 1) there is not really an easy policy switch to flip to deliver that 2) consumer product deflation is a really bad economic indicator

The JCO post about Elon not liking anything is something I've said before about a lot of politics poisoned posting addicts. People who never once post about a band they like or anything at all. There are so many like that.

Gus Johnson on every snap right now

this is excellent maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

best ending of all time, let's be real

I want you to picture that little sandwich…. Now imagine it’s got onions and mustard.

game over man

All of the Welcomefest unindicted FTX co-conspirators are throwing a fit trying to blame Dunlap because their bought-and-paid for centrist Great White Hope voluntarily decided he’d rather be a lobbyist than stay in Congress. That’s a risk you take with guys willing to be bribed!

In 1997 you could get a fresh khlav kalash and a frosty crab juice for less than 10 bucks. This is what they took from you

'we have lost young men' was pushed by Shor, and his source was 'i made it up'

You’re too late. Woke 2 is everywhere now

I will venmo any reporter $400 to ask trump "what does SNAP stand for"

Taxing commercial flight to reflect its true environmental costs presents genuine policy & economic tradeoffs, but taxing private air travel does not, and the latter should be taxed at ludicrously punitive rates to address the deficit created by the former.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

Watching Jeremiah Smith

2025 and Live Hulu’s best guess at what I might want to watch on a fall Saturday afternoon puts the Red Zone channel and MEAC cross country before Vandy/Texas or OSU/PSU. Incredible stuff

Political correctness won’t let America have the hard conversation about how 80-90 percent of people who work in tech are functionally illiterate

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

From the tone here I assumed Dunlap was like, a sex offender or something but no he’s just a regular Dem primarying Jared Golden and Matt simply cannot ever stop talking his book

It’s so obvious that Platner is being treated better by establishment dems than Mamdani and it’s so obvious that it’s because he’s a big macho white (fake) working class veteran type they fetishize even if his stated positions are also well to the left of theirs.

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

My main takeaway on the “moderation” debate is that Democrats would be better served by other debates besides left-right positioning, like how to develop new valence issues (corruption!) as wedge issues, and how to get attention for their policy proposals in the first place

It’s crazymaking to watch people nod sagely about findings that are just demonstrably untrue. What is true, I think, is Dems keep trying to run cautious meat and potatoes races only to be tagged in the public mind with all the social issues their opponents obsess over and they leave unanswered.

I mean what do you even say. Ideology trumps material reality every day of the week.

China just built the biggest bridge in the world, a modern marvel that set ten different world records. Meanwhile we are having the fucking New York Jets and Blackstone bribe our McDonald’s Pedophile President to build the ballroom equivalent of the Flanders house

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

Terry shouldve hooped instead of tryna gamble on NBA basketball

So one of the things that is just baffling about this is like, he’s pretty obviously going to end up endorsing Zohran. So all of this shit was just 6 weeks of completely unnecessary bad press? Democrats do this so often apparently unaware that being indecisive is perceived as weakness! Stop it!

Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.

Hey at what point were you going to reveal that the woman who the story is based on is the Chief Marketing Office at a VC firm that is invested in a bunch of AI firms?????? www.canvas.vc/portfolio

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

No Kings is the lib version of the tea party I’m pretty sure: ✅ Hate the President ✅ Overwrought revolutionary aesthetics ✅ Old people with cringe signs ✅ Calling politicians pedophiles ✅ Extremely likely to vote for fighters in primaries

no notes

it hadn't even occurred to me, but: is Elon giving the Nazi data theft criminals access to government records DOGE stole? bsky.app/profile/tedd...

I think two things are true: 1. young republicans were always terrible and racist 2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

Re-upping this 8 year old column because boy we should’ve listened to that boy instead of letting him do a podcast with Matt Taibbi and then apparently retire from writing www.splinter.com/charlottesvi...

The NY young republican who said that rape is "epic" looks like a fuckin ventriloquist dummy

mtg in 1997: this card is selenia, a guardian angel from the heavenly realm of serra. twisted by the phyrexians, she drove crovax of urborg insane with unrequited love mtg in 2025: this card is spongebob. from spongebob squarepants mtg in 2035: we ran out of ideas. this card is your coworker jeff

If you need a go-to Wikipedia page this is a great one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

The cognitive deficits caused by using AI appear to be correlated with becoming more conservative politically. This is consistent with decades of social science but good to see confirmation in the wild
