Eat your hamburgers now, they may not be here later. Well they will but the price will be much higher, these things kill cattle.

I really miss when CEOs would do demos of their products cause it would catch some of these really dumb ideas.

Are people upset yet? I can’t tell.

There are 2 pounds of copper wire and 3g of gold in every flock camera

Ok. So why didn’t it?

Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block who laid of 40% of the company due to AI efficiencies, describes how to judge the success of their AI adoption. He plans to reduce management layers from 5 managers between a worker and the CEO to 2-3 this year. The ideal is eventually 0 and all 6000 people report to him.

I miss when we had people doing things to help people instead of machines to arrest you if you make a simple mistake or maybe not a mistake but a small infraction.

Russia starts blocking BlueSky (It's because they're tired of my shitposting) therecord.media/russia-crack...

Wow this whole paragraph just nails it. "I'm not using the technology like a fucking LinkedIn poster, so get bent and then fuck off, I'll be better off without you" is a great energy for 2026

You get around this by funding transportation alternatives that don’t rely on oil as much. Long-term: Build more subways and other train lines. More EV charging. We’ll be more resilient in the future. Short-term: Run more buses/trains. Even free fares would be much better than cutting gas tax.

We’ve reached the watch this Reuters live feed of the straight part of the war now. www.youtube.com/live/Q69--3Z...

It's like they don't even try anymore, they have to reuse the same actors in all his plays.

oh I get it now

The team @fightforthefuture.org also got a page up with a simple call tool where you can enter your number, it will call your phone and connect you with your Massachusetts State Senators. It even gives you a simple script with talking points about the legislation. www.stoponlineidchecks.org/MA

People should be free to choose their gender and get the therapy they need to be the best version of themselves they want to be. (Also free and over the counter)

Someone did a deep dive into Cursor Agent and discovered that it was literally just Claude Code with a process that does search and replace to brand it as Cursor Agent gist.github.com/jasonkneen/4...

The dasher claims "$11,000 in savings by not having to claim." You still have to claim tips You can only deduct up to $25k in tips, so $11k in savings off of one year didn't happen The tax savings are actually minimal taxpolicycenter.org/fiscal-facts...

Wait? What? Oh she's 100% some rich woman who has no idea what a banana costs.

Another wild fear tactic being pressed on tech workers right now is the “permanent underclass.” Idk anyone who’s is worried about this myself. But to those who are worried about this: Class struggles will not be fixed by getting “in” on AI. It’ll be fixed by collective action and labor rights.

There's a lot going on in this clip but can we circle back to the "DoorDash GRANDMA" t-shirt for a second? Trump normalizing retirement-age gig workers tells you everything you need to know about the American economy under Republican leadership

My hope for today, that this continues his Jesus Arc and becomes his Last Supper.

They had so many ways to make this good, and they chose violence.

You gotta love it when conservatives call out the guiltiest man alive.

I recently bought the new TMBG album on their site and shipping was $9, maybe that's actually much closer to the right price we should be paying...

Seriously, what this says to me is that Google, the leader in computing efficiency is throwing its hands up and just building bigger, hotter computers rather than depending on some sort of efficiency gain to run these AI models. That's the real story.

See the problem with the plastic surgery hammer is that soon, every part of your body starts looking like a nail...

For more than a week, Amazon has managed to keep a death at its Troutdale, Oregon, facility out of public view. Workers I spoke to are pissed.

Nothing screams more like "help us build our fascist machine" than asking religious leaders if your chatbot model is religious enough. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

‘Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Plot That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’

Success?

AI sector is an industry wholly based on “fake it till you make it”. Just completely brazen lies and hype, hoping that there wildest aspirations come to fruition before the population reaches a critical mass of understanding they’ve been full of shit all along.

Reddit has an apparent inside account of Vance's failed negotiations and the sheer puerile idiocy of the American regime. www.reddit.com/r/SipsTea/co...

What'd I say? SLOW DOWN and always— ALWAYS— start from the ground position that any claims made by any spokesperson for any "AI" corporation— any for-profit corporation, really— is an instance of them lying to you to hype their product and get your money.

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

That’s right folks, we came, we saw, we blew shit up, now it’s time to retreat into the darkness.

People will do anything but pay teachers for education, huh? (Yes I realize this is a grift)

As Vonnegut said, "We are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody ever tell you any different."

anyway i genuinely think we should heavily regulate media for children, put up a MASSIVELY higher bar for quality than the one that currently doesn't exist, and fund its creation & distribution with generous recurring federal arts grants. and imprison peddlers of child gambling for good measure

The whole MAHA ethos -- the attitude that the key to health is better individual choices -- runs counter to any public health perspective that centers broad social collective approaches, which includes vaccines and structural changes. They're just incompatible mindsets.

same way that one arm of the government is offering up woo-woo talk about how bad vague "toxins" are, while another arm of the government is actively rolling back limits on specific, named chemicals with clearly-known harms, like mercury and ethylene oxide

The thing that all carbrains don't get about trains and public transit, is that transit, functioning transit, is designed to get you somewhere at a predictable time. Cars are slot machine logic, you hope that the roads are not too full and drive.

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

People are getting really tired of waiting for GTA6.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

They hired her because they thought that was how you spell podcast.

I love these slice of life comics about true stories that definitely happened.
