A local Cubs fan made a bar bet this week and has to eat a whole ass onion like it’s an apple after this Reds sweep. What a time to be alive.

Can a modern video options menu be crammed onto a tiny 160x144-sized interface? Yes it can! This may get a visual overhaul later (I feel obligated to give it a happy cozy feel for some reason 🤔) but at least everything works! 😊️ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #solodev #MayGame

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

AI’s primary function is to vacuum wealth up from below and move it to the top.

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Sam Altman: I see humans achieving omnipotence using dark matter by… 2030 maybe? That’s if OpenAI is given a quadrillion dollars Theo Von: Yeah Altman: Or, we may become a race of slaves, genetically modified to be harvested by robot spiders. That’s if OpenAI doesn’t get the money Von: Right

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

A Project 2025 author with a Nazi ship on the wall behind him. This ain’t subtle, folks.

Wow, wild. Anyway, here's a photo of Atlantic Owner Laurene Powell Jobs having a nice time with Ghislaine Maxwell.

my dad was always saying this

I can totally relate to these feelings. Trust me when I say that it’s not just you, Harry. I will never forget what Donald Trump and his thugs did and I will not forgive them either. #HEROES: @libradunn1.bsky.social @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social @michaelfanone.bsky.social #NeverForgetJanuary6th

Today I read that half of all the electricity generated in Dublin Ireland is gobbled up by data centres. Stop using these BS AI ‘tools’. You were given a miraculous brain with which to think for yourself - use it.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

who...who in ohio is calling it that? we just call it either Cincinnati chilli or skyline chilli

lol

I don’t really post here much other than comments, but just saw Superman and geez this movie fucks. Gunn really gets DC Comics and Snyder never did.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

If you haven’t seen @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social’s set on Trump & Epstein, it’s nearly an hour long and worth every second of your time.😂

Generative "AI" can do many things, almost all of them terribly and at far greater expense than just hiring somebody. If it doesn't cost you anything currently, that's because it's being subsidized by investors who are going to want their money back with interest and none of this is cheap.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

My 50th birthday is coming up, in case you have any drawings of naked ladies hanging around.

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

In 1946 the Superman Radio series broadcast the story “Clan of The Fiery Cross” where Superman brought down a Ku Klux Klan stand in using actual Klan codewords and rituals, and made it look really silly to kids and killing off a post war resurgence from which It’s never recovered.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

some frankly amazing AI slop that someone decided to try and post on the r/dataisbeautiful subreddit

Watch that video of Zohran on the streets, then look at this set of Dick Tracy grotesques on those very same streets. They're doomed. It's like watching them charge a Sherman tank on horseback.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

On December 23, 1783 General Washington appeared before the Continental Congress and in a highly symbolic, anti-monarchial act, surrendered his sword and resigned his commission as Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.

AI is deskilling our young people to the extent that they no longer have the ability, or at least resolve, to craft their own *texts.* The widespread adoption of these technologies is actually a form of child abuse. We are systematically destroying human potential www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

I found people in serious relationships with AI partners and planned a weekend getaway for them at a remote Airbnb. We barely survived. www.wired.com/story/couple...

Last night, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.” This morning, JD Vance says we will “permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years.” Which is it? Sounds like more endless war against the will of the American people.

Informing only Republicans before bombing Iran isn’t a “mistake.” It’s a federal violation. 50 U.S.C. § 3093 requires bipartisan notification—And Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he broke that law. Charge him. Now.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
