I think frothing at the mouth to be violent at a demographic before a killer is caught is odd, and dangerous behavior. It's even more telling that all of that rage disappears once the killer isn't the caricature you were hoping it was. Look at yourselves. Yikes.

Stop giving evil people cover. Some people aren't stupid, they aren't misinformed, they just thought their decisions would only hurt others, and are now experiencing the blowback.

It always hurts my heart a little to see Black dudes post/create lame incel content. Embarrassing

Why should I pay for someone else's healthcare, I hate that idea, instead of the current system, where I'm paying insurance companies to think a little bit about healthcare while denying as much as possible and siphoning record profits? You ever think about that libs?

That the "Power Slap" league is legal is wild. There's not even a semblance of a game. Just "Everyone gets accelerated CTE" on camera.

At the gym, a very nice lady the size of my thigh very kindly asked if I was up for a friendly strength competition. Lol, ma'am, you might have fleeced me when I was 17 but I know a street hustler when I see one. I've got nothing to prove.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are now at risk for starvation. But the real famine is the lack of conservative speakers at academic conferences.

The whole point of general index funds is that you aren't over leveraged into any vertical. That does not work if the index fund is attached to just the largest companies, and all of those largest companies are a part of the same industry. I would heavily recommend checking that

I've never met a dumb person who doubted themselves.

The collapse of AI hype, because of the resource intensity, inability to monetize, actual use cases, and that scale isn't going to bring AGI, is going to be spectacular and terrible. Worse, it's entirely predictable

The jobs report came down today for July, and it's abysmal. Jobs report for May and June were adjusted down by ~280,000 jobs....down to 19k/14k, because they were lying to you. That's not within a range for statistical flexibility, that's not how that works, that's just a lie.

If it seems random and odd that so many tech Bros are interested in Venezuela, it's because they've been abusing the workforce there for slave labor wages since ~2019. Almost, if not every, AI focused company has.

I listened to both parts!! Absolutely phenomenal interviews. Sent to my whole family!! 🥰🥰

🔇🔇🔇Announcing new work from DAIR which is very close to my heart, 3 years in the making. When #TigrayGenocide, the deadliest genocide of the 21st century thus far, started in November 2020, it was 1 month before I got fired from Google. 🧵 english.elpais.com/internationa...

Whatever’s in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epstein’s accomplice an immunity deal

For Artificial General Intelligence to be considered a public good, and not another weapon, presumption is that the company that creates it is going to give it away for free to the public, after they've spent billions in investment to gain market dominance. Good luck with that.

The nationwide dismantling of our scientific research and educational infrastructure is going to have compounding terrible effects on us for generations. All just so a small group of people can make a little bit more money. Just alarmingly stupid national policy we have.

Waymo's turn over their data/video's to the police during protest, like any other camera on a public space. If you are out and about, be aware of that.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks. The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

If you are in a protest: Do not go alone Do not tell the cops anything Listen to organizers Write down your information, you won't have your phone if you get harassed/taken. Also, ask for lawyers if needed In fact, do not bring your main phone Do not go alone Make an exit plan

A decade and a half from now, as China's population collapses and Europe/Korea have the same issue, places with high immigration, and larger tiered economic systems, they'll either be booming, or the powers that be are going to exploit them even harder. Lots of chains coming

Musk isn't all of a sudden magically brave, he's angry that his leverage doesn't work and thinks that's the weapon he has to use. That's legitimately worse

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

They are purging all the transcripts.

If you think your Midwest college town isn't entirely reliant on foreign visas/education paying full tuition you are in for a rough next decade.

If you can't tell what's fake you can't tell what's real. You think people who were easily fooled by lazy memes and conspiracies online a decade ago are somehow better at discerning what's made with AI? It would be very funny if it weren't a dead canary.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the Surgeon General to have an active medical license

Regular reminder that it isn't a Federal crime to be undocumented, and typically a civil offense. The focus on fear-mongering is all around social pressure, so that when abuses of power happen, people accept it

I'd like to remind everyone that Columbus never stepped a single foot in North America, he landed in the Bahamas and was a nightmare of a human. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Let me get this straight: Fringe extremist infiltrates a major political party, rises to the rank of Vice President, throws around diplomatic weight to force a meeting with the Pope, and then MURDERS said Pope? Folks. This is a Dan Brown novel.

"We did not make a mistake" -- Leavitt on a deportation that the administration has admitted was a mistake

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

A lot of older people don't realize that DEI is what prevents them from being pushed out of their jobs too.

The mass shooting at Florida State barely made my news feed on any platform. We live in such gross times

"He's so rich, why would he have to pay some girls online to have his babies? You think he has to pay girls to talk to him? He deals with space bro" Ah, my sweet summer fool, you think money prevents you from being a loser?

Young (and old) men are easy to pick off because of the loss of societal third spaces. This can't be too surprising. It's the same thing that happens in abusive relationships or cults. Isolate, demonize, give them an enemy, radicalized. Done at scale with the internet

How do you win a deliberately unfair game when the rules are written by your opponent? Rules they selectively follow? You don't. You can't. You will never win. That's the point. The boundaries are the first things you need to examine

Feminism didn't ruin your ability to talk to women. Spending all of your time and energy with men who hate women did.

Just a heads up, the entire world is expecting the markets to be a bloodbath tomorrow

I'm never tired of being right, I'm exhausted at knowing people will be in pain from the same predictable problems.

I should probably align these profiles

One of my co-workers saw my eyes tearing up as I walked in the door this morning. I hadn't realized it was happening, so I was shocked when she asked hardly " what's wrong? Are you okay?" She laughed when I told her there was just a really sad part in the book I'm listening to

Why would you expect Democrats to come out and condemn vandalism of Tesla's when all cars matter?

Why would you expect Democrats to come out and condemn vandalism of Tesla's when all cars matter?

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

The first mistake in most activism is not thinking that everyone can be saved or informed, but everyone wants to be.

Some people are better at acting a fool because they aren't acting, they are fools

Never expect a man who doesn't understand and handle his own feelings to be able to build something with you where he needs to hear and understand yours.

If you get a chance to do a deep dive with some conservative men on why they don't like to date fully conservative women, it's ironically because they don't like having to live in the performative masculinity that's expected of them. They cannot be themselves.
