I’ve been on the internet too long

It's an older relic from the last Trump era but it has I believe found its time.

Sigourney Weaver and a flamethrower

If we were treating him like a 'normal president' he'd have been impeached and removed a dozen times by now.

this is the greatest feeling, when the cord box proves its utility to a family member

Ok so MacFarlane toys does these...deformed? Weird proportion figures? They've done Bane and Batman and Swamp Thing and ... they're not my thing generally but this Darkseid makes me laugh and I love him. Look at his tiny frowny face! He's adorable.

Oh my god I was right

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

Did this fun cover for the IT LIVES IN THE LAKE indie comic series by Justin Matott and Zac Conley. Three giant monster mouths in one image? What could be finer? #itlivesinthelake

Sincerely one of the funniest things the WSJ has ever written or done. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...

this is the most "Get a Job, Stay Away From Her" I've ever felt

I immediately got a bunch of people mad at me because I simply mentioned that Democrats were stupidly involved in making this happen

The TikTok "ban" (giving Trump's autocratic buddies a big ownership chunk) really was maybe one of the biggest tech policy turds I can EVER remember:

awright. today we're trying out floorp. because it's floorp. tomorrow maybe waterfox.

Yep. Calling any of this technology 'AI' is, frankly, a disservice to the public in terms of understanding it and using it effectively. It also blurs the distinctions between vastly different applications. They're not using ChatGPT to forecast storms!

not that it will change their votes at this point and this has long been the case but henry cuellar, don davis, and vicente gonzalez should probably not ever know another moment of peace. henry cuellar: 202-225-1640 don davis: 202-225-3101 vicente gonzalez: 202-225-2531

so like, i’m aware that it’s not a done deal that all dems vote no on this bill flooding folks’ offices with calls tomorrow is probably a good idea if you care about the trans folks in your life

firefox is open source, right? it could be forked, right?

my first reaction was that this had to be AI, and I was delighted to discover it is not.

The world, and the US, very much sleepwalking into a new place where illegal wars of aggression without even the pretense of LOAC constraints are the new normal.

This is to provide a caucus beli that Trump is taking the US to war as self defense. This adding another BS layer of justification to the strikes, which they’ve already been making: they’re for the defense of the US’s allies in the region. More importantly it’s about the Alien Enemies Act. 1/

This poll dropping 24 hours after so many people freaked out at Jamelle for saying that front-facing social media was the best way to reach persuadable citizens is pretty funny Also, lol Twitter

PenguinRandomHouse are running a good COUNT ZERO deal with BookBub, US ebook price reduced to $1.99 from December 15 to December 20!

This entire weekend

Buckle up Dem establishment, because me and my maximum wage tied to the minimum wage proposal are coming for your asses

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

This guy disarming the terrorist at Bondi Beach, Australia, can only be described as hero.

Those of us on the academic and research side of countering fascism and authoritarianism have been trying to warn you this was always where this was going and that the republicans were building the intellectual infrastructure and state capacity to carry out the mass murder of their opposition.

Inside me there are two wolves

The key thing about abundance is the same as the key thing about popularism and the key thing about the Third Way types and the key thing about DLC before that, which is NOT their agenda, but what's NOT on it: anything to do at all with race or gender or immigration or civil rights or abortion

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw

This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs
