Call me a luddite if you like - but I don't want a bed that stops working when Amazon Web Services goes down. www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

Just. Ask. Them. The. Damn. Question. Again. And. Again. "You swore an oath to the country & Constitution. The president is breaking the law & violating the Constitution & appears mentally unfit. Why haven't you fulfilled your oath yet by voting for impeachment (implementing the 25th amendment)?"

I've been looking for solutions to my sinking office chair that didn't involve replacing the cylinder or putting a hard clamp on it, the top advice you'll see with most search terms, and it took way too long to find this guy saying "the lubricant probably settled, just turn the chair upside down"

“A good Bronze Age Pervert tweet..”-Ross Douthat, NYT’s resident intellectual conservative

Yes, it's just a building — and one with with historically terrible residents. Yes, America needs to be rebooted/refounded/re-constitutioned, and a new White House would be thematically appropriate. But this honestly makes me sad.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

1. Every current LLM is built on theft, and thus unethical. 2. Every possible LLM is definitionally unreliable. Capitalism doesn't care about either of those (but you probably should). Capitalism will care that: 3. A handful of companies have spent $1 trillion to make $10 billion.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

What a wildly ignorant declaration! There are almost certainly two positions with more adherents: 1) "I know nothing about this and I love it"(largest). 2) "I have a strong understanding of the underlying technology + worldview, and cannot support it". (2nd largest)

Honestly pretty grim to end a meeting where someone earnestly said "you should stop working on your coding skills and start working on writing prompts for Copilot to write code for you" with "Happy Diwali, when we celebrate light overcoming darkness".

Microsoft's desire to cram AI garbage down our throats, layered on top of their philosophy of "change things often, even if to make them worse on purpose", means I will never install Windows 11 on my personal computer. Most of the changes *are* relatively small, but they all make your life worse.

Love that we all know this is going to happen and have known it since this shit was introduced yet all we can do is wait for the dumbest and most easily avoidable economy crash of all time.

The federal courts have degenerated into places for far-right charlatans to bypass democracy, and democratic reforms must start there.

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

He's certainly not the only one responsible for this crime, but I think this is the most straight-forward reason Elon belongs in the Hague.

Somehow, I'm only just now learning that Tom Cruise was married to Keith Urban.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

As far as I can tell, Bari Weiss has never told the truth about a single topic in her entire career. So, I'm sure this will really boost CBS's reputation...

The Sora thing is so bleak and shows how far we've come from AI companies pretending they did not train on copyrighted material www.404media.co/openais-sora...

I have to admit, every time the alleged President commits treason on television, I find it difficult to focus on mundane task for a little while.

as a christian, one thing i love about trump is that he explicitly rejects the teachings of jesus

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

i think about this post every time i watch a movie

This effectively eliminates Congress, right?

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

Hulk Hogan truly was the real America: an icon you were dutifully instructed to adore as a child and then every single piece of information about what he was, what he did, and what he thought about things made you hate him more and more, and in a way, yourself for falling for it.

The Republican Party is shutting the government down in order to protect a ring of elite pedophiles that includes their leader, the President of the United States of America. How about that!

If you watch the Tour de France, you know that many spectators get way too far out into the road. Watching today's coverage, I saw one step right into a (slow-moving) support car and fall over, and I may or may not have instinctively applauded...

Watching movies now is sort of difficult because you have to suspend disbelief that breaking the law will have consequences.

Defund the Gestapo; crush ICE.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

It should be intolerable that this is a daily occurrence. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

piñata o plomo?

Prime Day is very special to me because papá would always come home from the Amazon factory with a bottle of piss for everyone

Enchanting my chest armor with 100% poison resist just so I can call it "Cuirass for the Straight Gas".

This was a great pair of episodes that really helps the listener grasp the tactics and patterns of the anti-enlightenment, anti-truth era that is shaping basically every moral panic or culture war topic of the last 20(?) years. Listen to the end for Peter to make clear the actual lesson of CoViD.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL THE DADS, EVEN THE HATERS AND LOSERS IN THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA

If it was not already clear to you that "abolish ICE" is a common-sense, moderate position, gaze upon 2025.

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

I've long lost any respect for the NYT, but them boosting the profile of someone famous for spreading some of the worst child sexual abuse material known to exist really seems like them crossing a line they hadn't previously.

They could have used it a little and had no one notice, but they "delved" too greedily and too deep.
