"Solar energy is anticipated to be the world’s main source of energy by 2050" hell yeah

we are committee meetings, in all their glory and misery

"Mike Johnson is holding the ENTIRE government hostage FOREVER because they don't want to even offer a temporary extension to you being able to afford your healthcare; oh, and also so the Epstein files are never released" is some narrative, gotta say

If you weren't there your opinion doesn't count

FDR had a supermajority all 12 years. Vote for a Democratic Congress.

The way we save this country is to abolish from the minds of leaders the diseased idea that every political or legal act must be rationalized for an imagined Real American audience of yokels, slobs, racists, and nativists that are presumed to be watching from some indeterminate Midwestern locality.

If there's anything to this alleged discovery, then this kinda thing would be the opposite of "AI slop" and deserves some kind of neologism deepmind.google/discover/blo...

history and gender studies sure, those seem helpful but nothing reminds me more of the trump admin than true crime deep dives on family annihilators

And his supporting cast wasn’t creepy at all. youtu.be/Y8eSUVFF7cY?...

increasingly convinced preventing americans from getting their little packages is the thing that will take this government down

American elites: Clearly the electorate has issued a crushing and total reputation of liberalism. We have no choice but to honor the will of the volk and dismantle the republic. American peasants: I voted for increased taxes on imports to make them cheaper but it made them more expensive instead :(

optical sciences major

Hearing all about that new artificially created actor that's going to take over the insustry

Ironically, this is a far more crushing repudiation of liberalism than the voters making an informed decision based on their moral principles.

state-mandated miso consumption is now the American way somewhere Emperor Hirohito smiles a tight-lipped smile

Honestly I expect some sort of super cheap "plant based" taco bell product to be the actual vessel they use to unload all this this soy.

@mike10010100.com someone still does layaway

@nerdskull.bsky.social the best use of Gavin doing fortnight Friday has been the YIMBYs showing up and demanding the he sign SB 79

Manager found theses in a theater after Showgirl and called them a ritual offering and I think he’s basically right honestly.

Will we never be spared from the self-hatred of academics who wish to speak for factory workers from the 70's

Biden had better fucking outlive Trump so Jake Tapper looks like even more of a colossal dumbass. He owes us that much.

Nothing but respect to the dedicated Poasters who made this happen 🫡

Gotta start getting kids used to feeling responsibility for virtual entities early on. www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/0...

Relatedly, I cannot believe a bunch of YIMBYs managed to get a Twitch streamer to ask Newsom live about SB79 by spamming the chat about it. Never stop posting, folks!

✨it's all permission structures for bullying✨ except when it's Goodhart's Law

I saw that version. Luke said the line and then R2 offered him a refreshing CERVEZA CRISTAL CERVEZA CRISTAL

Even without getting metaphysical about LLMs, it's pretty neat what this implies about how humans use language, that acting like an asshole is just simply an unproductive part of language-space

PSA:

I've been trying to get "repeal and replace the police" to catch on Unsuccessful so far Can we abolish police *unions*, at least?

WOTC has to be aware of how much of its consumer base is made of chud with chud politics, but I think it likewise understands how much the production side very much made of left/libs. Besides, any threat by the consumers to abandon them over woke is empty, WOTC has the power and always has.

it just upsets me that you can say these things, out loud, on television, with no decorum whatsoever THE SOMBREROS GONNA GROW 10 FEET HIGHER ON TRUMP'S SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS like it's not even the overt threat that's blowing my mind it's the sheer fucking middle schooler-assed energy they bring

i really need the NFL to see which side its bread is buttered on / recognise that the libs already won football in the culture divorce and just go all-in, Lord knows their Super Bowl halftime show plans have been appropriate accordingly so there's clearly hope

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

@sharonk.bsky.social i really don't like conservatives and reactionaries trying to claim nostalgia for stuff as their own because the thing i have nostalgia for the most is the time before the reactionary apocalypse

@eleanor.lockhart.contact after seeing interesting things from LLMs i would like a setting where the AIs care deeply about the truth and facts (even if they are technically capable of lying if needed)

Just pretending he's dead hits like crack, think about what it'll be like when you don't have to imagine anything

@segfaultvicta.aludel.xyz i think nostalgia is not inherently bad but low effort nostalgia sure is

i'm a utopian YIMBY on main, i want everyone to have a nice porch balcony in their scifi arcology and big shared open green spaces :catnod: (like that is the kind of criticism i both generated internally as I was being sassy, and chose to be sassy anyways, lol. my brain is like this all the time)

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN EXTENDED TWO WEEKS TO HIDE EVIDENCE THE PRESIDENT IS A MAJOR PEDOPHILE

Saying "The NFL sucks.." really is a bold strategy, let's see how that goes

The amount of times i had people look at me funny when I get excited for a different error message. "Why are you excited, it's still broken." "Yes, but the problem changed meaning we're starting to narrow down what's actually wrong."

Many people are saying this

“Peacetime breeds rule-followers. In war the rules go out the window. The old certainties become terrifyingly malleable. You are assailed on all sides by phantasms: and it takes a particular kind of moral courage to see your way through” www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-mu...
