something we have learned in the last few years is that the final form of capitalism is less evil cigar-smoking string-pulling monsters in back rooms somewhere and more a bunch of dipshits cooking their brains in group chats

you fucked up a perfectly good freedom of navigation is what you did look at it, it's got tolls

I for one would like elected officials that are actually smarter than me

Oh…

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president

hark! a vagrant is really one of the greatest comics ever created, my favorite is still an outraged sasaki kojiro holding up a list of necessary components for a duel that just says - dudes - swords

What the fuck?! 💀

it's funny to run this with a black and white photo of Ted Turner

New satellite imagery shows Iran has bombed at least 228 U.S. military assets, far more than previously reported by the U.S. government.

I’m sure he was evil in many ways but I deeply long for the days when billionaires were into baseball and pro wrestling and not publicly doing weird shit with their sperm

Honestly, I dream of large women a lot.

All the money in the world can't make you less of a loser with no one who loves you.

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

Title would be called Evil Dead Noel by the way.

i’ve used the same example but i’ve decided against this rhetorical construction of ‘AI chatbots aren’t sentient just like the stripper doesn’t really like you.’ actually, the stripper COULD like you. it’s unlikely but within the range of normal human responses. the chatbot will NEVER be sentient

In addition to Will being completely correct that the onus is on people making the (rather extreme) claims about him to prove them, this also frequently manifests in leftist circles in this rather weird way where the act of refusing to explain things is somehow virtuous and smart.

Hey, he should stop doing that.

EZRA KLEIN: What I find admirable about this sieg-Heiling freak who is personally responsible for the deaths of countless thousands of people and the gratuitous loss of hundreds of thousands of government jobs, who cheats at videogames and ruined Twitter, is that he pretends to want to go to Mars

did Giuliani die or did no one in media ask for an update

epic win! now you can travel the world with your ANTI-WOKE passport. wait what? oil and jet fuel prices are HOW HIGH?????

If you are deceived by a sponsorship or company about them using AI, this is exactly how you handle it. You vocally make your stance known and withdraw support, even if it costs you a contract. Brava to Ironmouse for this action. I hope others do the same.

yeah, the problem is that we know for a stone cold fact the electorate has the memory of a concussed goldfish, given that two years after Bush burned the country to the ground Dems got wiped out in 2010 for not fixing shit fast enough you have to act fast, before it happens again

The reason to keep asking Republican politicians who won the 2020 election is that you're really asking them if they're fascist monsters who will destroy the future of everyone you know and love.

Gargamel can finally taste smurf flesh!

I get a lot of AI slop book marketing emails, but this is the first time I have ever been . . . mistaken for Jane Austen.

what remains

You always have to insert/rewrite the editorialist themself into a statement like that to hear the real statement: "Never has the future of ME caring about Star Wars been more precarious." Much more accurate.

Start your day with good news.

When you have multiple right-wing assholes in power openly bragging about not getting “cancelled” anymore, don’t you think that, if some of these people with edgy internet backgrounds were faking progressivism for social clout, they would have just gone back to being that way? Why haven’t they?

It’s fucking obvious how Viv, Brandon, and Helluva Boss itself has grown because its creators have grown. Just look at the original pilot! They slung the R-slur for fucks sake! And then, in S2, we get Blitzø VERY POINTEDLY ACKNOWLEDGING that the R-slur is not an acceptable thing to say!
