imagine the world if we could convince ml people to use anything but python

The fact that an alternative to “repeal S230” hasn’t gained traction (or even really emerged afaik) sort of bodes poorly. Like if the choice is a bad plan and doing nothing, can’t be too shocked when people eventually decide to roll the dice

HYPNOTIZED NECROMANCY

Not sure why we’re getting twisted up about the DNC autopsy. Those things are always useless documents afaik — have they literally ever once been useful?

a lutheran, methodist, and a presbyterian walk into an anti-ice prayer vigil at a catholic church

Beat Caves of Qud. Turns out the trick was to build something like a Biblically Accurate Angel with as many axes as limbs

I simply would not have a written an op-ed dismissing the Epstein saga if I had ever had dinner with the guy

absolutely wild move by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov to allow comments on the dropbox folder with the epstein photos

Anyway, liberalism and socialism are not enemies, and to the extent that you insist that they are, you are clinging to Ego. You have failed to apprehend the true meaning of "Form is Emptiness. Emptiness is Form." I will now give you a firm thwack with the keisaku.

this just ain't right.

We’ve created the self-regarding allegedly erudite child-molesting monsters from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel “Don’t Create The Self-Regarding Allegedly Erudite Child-Molesting Monster”

a lot of random semantic disputes about "generative" ai seem to be people wanting there to be some way in which the companies and products that they don't like are doing something categorically different from those that aren't it's just really not categorically different

Developing a take that AI discourse suffers from a lot of the same systemic issues that discourse around the Biden admin did. There are a lot of real problems and many of them are most acutely felt by members of the media class, so there’s a serious distortionary effect happening

the president is illegitimate and only holds office thanks in large part to a de facto judicial coup on the part of SCOTUS

I still occasionally get people who lash out and cry about it when it's pointed out but unlimited Western support for Israel very obviously undermined the effort to acquire global support for Ukraine

In general, the following is simply fundamentally true: Europe's inability to take a stance on Israel that is 1% less complicit really discredited us, damaged our credibility (including among our own people), and spaffed away a lot of popular consent for (extremely necessary) continental rearmament.

wow that was stupid but i guess at least he didn’t declare war with venezuela

He wants to just get through this as fast as he can and go to bed. If we're keeping it a buck, Biden also sounded the same way at times. Tired, words hard to read, just gotta get to the end

wow. peace in the middle east for the first time in 3000 years. incredible

Honestly breathtaking that the media allowed this guy to come to power as being against oil-motivated adventurism. A thing which, for all its horrors, simply wasn't true about the GWOT and which we have now dreamed into reality.

Tulsi's 2020 run was a real eye-opener for me in terms of how many people in my milieu are captial G Gullible. Cannot believe anyone every bought into her crap.

i wonder what this totally brave soul is doing right now

Mangione becoming a congresscritter in the next 5-10 years is a live possibility here.

Too many kids are leaving our Calc 1 class thinking that to check concavity of a function you look at a critical point and then plug in numbers to its left and right. Just a total misunderstanding of the material at a level so essential that I think it' a real indictment of whatever it is we do here

2019 GOTY at the time was probably Luigi’s Mansion 3, but honestly it’s gotta be Sekiro now, that is a perfect game right there

A government shouldn't have to occupy its own country with troops.

Another one for “if you understand this sentence you should be committed” “Derpibooru” should not be legible to me. This word is not in The Bible.

I lost track of Silksong earlier in the semester but now the OST is back on my radar after the GA discourse and goddamn I gotta finish that game

also this is not beaten dog talk. When It Happens is hungry dog talk.

sort of funny that this milieu spent years screeching about how Democrats would never go after Epstein because of Bill Clinton. but now that the box is open, is anybody writing op-eds trying to defend Bill's association with Epstein?

we don't need to do this.

This entire weekend

Being able to decipher this one should get you committed

it's a little early to do new years resolutions but i think mine for 2026 is to double down and get even more obnoxiously solar pilled. we're batterymaxxing, we're panel spreading. praise the sun ass behavior

One of like three people who gave a shit about both Garcia and Khalil. I'd vote for him in 2028 just for that.

Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

The police are corrupt and incompetent. We will have to help ourselves.

Always good when we’re all doing a dril tweet.

normal stuff.

I don't think leftists should do praxis. I think when they do it they're reinforcing organized crime.

Looking at the Trump Condom

"commissioned to write a piece defending a person sacked for calling two customers the N word on camera" is gig you just don't have to take, and if you take it, I am not obligated to take you seriously in the future

Even in Puritan Massachusetts, people look at me like I'm a lunatic when I suggest you shouldn't get stoned and drive your car.

Once you realize the press is in the tank for the guy who spends all his time calling them the Enemy of the People, you really can't unsee it

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

If Joe Biden attempted to pardon a state offense, we would have a week long media cycle about if he was compos mentis, Trump does and we get to bicker about whether it’s out of step with “tradition” (cf NYT) or if it’s “symbolic”
