it brings cold comfort, but the admin really is showing it's hand right now. fascism preys on desperation. it needs fear and anxiety to survive. that's why it is the classic symptom of capitalism, which requires a permanent underclass. they have nothing to offer. they just need you to suffer.

People are saying the UAE is guilty of genocide in Sudan, but I keep looking at this picture of the Ruler of Dubai and can’t help but ask myself, “Does this really look like a guy who would fund death squads to get gold?”

art | noun | the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects

You should guess how this village's name is pronounced

I finally tortured myself by looking into the 'controversy' over Mamdani and it's even stupider than I thought: his "aunt" isn't just a female family friend of an older generation, it's his father's cousin. 100% of white people understand that person being called an "aunt." Most would say the same.

The year is 2025. The rarest skill in the world is acting normal for like 15 minutes. For me of course it's effortless

i don’t think faa workers should be allowed to kidnap brutalize and deport people they find annoying

@nypost.com is moving on @theonion.com turf

we need Democrats in the Senate who will not vote to confirm their own executioner

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Police from a town of 900 in Colorado accused a woman of theft. Based on their Flock cameras they told her, "you can’t get a breath of fresh air, in or out of that place, without us knowing, correct?" and reportedly told her the exact number of times her license plate had driven through that town.

These aren't like, obscure randos, harmless cranks. These are incredibly powerful people, CEOs and governments who the United States court system (our last defense against BS) is currently predisposed to rule in favor of just because of who they are and regardless of the strength of their arguments.

when i lived in the rural south and had to listen to fundie teens go on and on about how the majority of the us were idol worshipers, they never counted themselves just as the christian ai worshippers won't count themselves.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

Somebody today reminded me of the one "Mandela Effect" that absolutely fucks me up... the movie "Shazaam." I learned this movie wasn't real because I read a mystery article on this subject. I was flabbergasted, because I remember Shazaam, but none of the typical explanations seemed to apply to me.

I've been reading the comics page of the local newspaper lately. Most of the strips are both "safe" and aggressively unfunny, but then every once in a while you get a real banger.

What percentage of politicians in your country are still relying on this site as a primary means of public communication? It feels slightly maddening that this isn't being treated as an extremely urgent problem.

I’m not saying British fascists are the saddest fascists, but they get angry at sourdough and think sausages are a cultural battleground.

My dad sent me this

i can't feel sorry for someone like this. i just don't accept this kind of delusion as anything but a choice.

I'm not even joking. They're word-for-word.

lol Grokipedia science articles are literally just word-for-word copies of Wikipedia

one of the most deeply infuriating aspects of american politics is close to half of americans would love if 20% of the country starved to death

Alpha School, which promises to educate kids using an "AI tutor" in two hours a day, is a budding national empire and a darling of the Trump administration. According to some parents who spoke to @wired.com for this investigation, it's had nightmarish effects on their kids.

Regarding generative AI's number one use being fraud, I am thinking about the doorbell camera animal videos again, like the "animals stealing Halloween candy," "animals playing on trampolines," and "animals riding each other" genres. I fucking loathe these. They're basically generalized fraud.

Again: the biggest problem with Generative AI is that its main use case is fraud:

im sorry you cant have food but we gave all our money to one guy who “invented” 2 day shipping and another thats promising robot butlers so you can see how our hands are tied

wage decline all around. even respectable jobs like bank robber and guy who ties maidens to train tracks cant make enough to live comfortably on

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

Tlingit artist Nicholas Galanin, “Architecture of return, escape (The British Museum)”, a deerskin map a floor plan of the British Museum and possible escape routes for various Indigenous cultural belongings held there.

the elite class becomes easier to understand when you realize they think everybody is as dumb as they are

ROB SCHNEIDER IS: THE MORON

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

I read that question about what would be the first Internet reference in a song that doesn't feel forced, and I couldn't think of anything because it just made me think of "www.memory," which is the exact opposite of that

What was the first pop song that mentioned something internet-related in a way that felt natural and not forced? Cause at some point we got from "email my heart and say our love will never die" to "it's okay, he already in my DMs" and I don't know when that point was.

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

My favorite thing about Trump is that every day he says something that implies he’s either senile or a liar and then 40% of the country are like “This is the most qualified leader we’ve ever seen”
