this triple whammy of Dems coming out with big tax cut proposals is dangerously close to negatively polarizing me against "tax the rich" rhetoric EVERYBODY NEEDS TO PAY THEIR TAXES

this is a fine take. "this thing is a mill which turns labor into capital" is a good take. the problem with the water take is that it is false. this one is, like, arguable, i guess, but the other one is false.

The people who are saying shit like "well it's either this or the borders are totally open" are doing their best to convince America that we should have completely open borders.

my biggest nightmare is that I won’t be looking at my phone when It Happens

Tpot is having a civil war which is nice to see

One thing that is very interesting in the topic of writing in particular, is that even if you accept the premise that AI is an incredibly powerful and useful tool, the *way you communicate with that tool* is by writing. The technology of AI makes written communication skills more valuable, not less

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

The worst part about this is that xAI *isn’t* reviewing to prevent future issues. Grok is just saying that because that’s the sort of thing a responsible company would do

I never know how to react to the latest news, so let me just say one more time: immigration is good. It helps immigrants and it helps native-born people. It makes the world richer, culturally and financially.

A chatbot cannot be held accountable if a paranoid schizophrenic talks to it and then chooses to murder someone

Hank Green covered AI water use and imo did a pretty great job www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_c6...

i think there is a significant cultural problem everywhere microblogging exists where there's essentially no space for critical support for anything future facing (AI, arcology, biotech). i think people misdiagnose this as a bsky exclusive.

Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

I refuse to let my chances of dying in a car crash stay higher to satisfy people’s reactionary technophobia Waymos in every city Spread the tech to all cars Make human drivers rare

Americans, you could have this.

People on here will post anything. 'Baseball games have 9 innings.' No they don’t. That isn’t true.

pretty interesting ballgame they've got going on tonight

I’m enjoying the games and the drama, but I honestly believe if I was a real fan of either of these teams I’d be dead from a coronary.

add me on pocket tcg

She said Dubai love me I tell her only partly, I only love labubu and matcha im sorry

the thing about telling obvious lies is that it’s usually pretty easy to figure out that they’re obvious lies sorry that you couldn’t come up with a good excuse for having a nazi tattoo on your chest for the simple reason that there is no good excuse for having a nazi tattoo on your chest

there is mechsploitation everywhere for those with the eyes to see them

is this even cowardice? how hard is it to at least say "as the Dem house leader I am of course voting for the Dem nominee." I think he's just awful.

i think the president should live in mortal fear of depicting himself as a king

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead-- newrepublic.com/article/2016...

fuck that game

The thing about copyright is that it effectively only exists for those who can afford to sue someone. If you don't have money, you effectively do not have copyright. It's not like the cops are out there looking for copyright infringement and detaining violators.

peter thiel thinks monkey d luffy represents a christlike figure

"AI isn't using that much water" gets "rebutted" with "but AI has no value, so any amount of water used on it is bad" which actually just *does not structurally work*, it's not actually winning the water debate but rather arguing opponents are obliged to accept it

During Q3 2025, CNN and MSNBC averaged 66,000 and 87,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo during prime time. No, those numbers aren't missing a zero. For FOX that number is 243,000 btw.
