The main reason I'm hesitant to adopt is all the instances I see of parents being entitled morons on the internet. Like, am I suddenly going to be unable to tell that K-Pop is a music genre and make it everyone else's problem?

lmfao sapphire says kaptur has a 44% chance of holding her seat

Ask the modal tech worker and you'll hear something like "this will change the way we do things but it won't wipe out entire fields." The main issues with modern AI IMO are revenge porn, unearned trust, and propaganda. Copyright comes a not-that-close fourth and is easiest to solve with legislation.

Pleased to inform you that the kids are becoming grift-resistant

Republican politicians are all some flavor of ontologically evil but this is especially striking

On one hand, fuck sakes. On the other, we're about to find out whether an approval rating can start with a two

Do districts 1 and 6 *have* to be that blue

Better

yes, this annoys me. they cite a poll where candidates different 2% with a error of 4%, and then say which one is ahead. come on. neither is ahead. it’s impossible from those data to say which is ahead. 2nd most annoying. the ”swing“. they double count. 50:50 to 44:56. 6ppl move but a 12pt swing.

Indistinguishable from mainstream right-wing talking points here in the US. Is Reform explicitly calling for genocide or something?

The main tension Republicans are going to run into over the next four years is that their elites want a system that not only is illiberal, but *appears* illiberal, while the public values the aesthetics of small-L liberalism even more than they value its principles.

Nintrando wins 8th consecutive Game of the Year award

Before you act like I'm overreacting to some administrative detail, everyone I know who is visibly or openly trans is either unemployed or has a dead-end, low-paying job. If I'm outed as trans by all my employer-accepted methods of ID, my economic mobility grinds to a halt. Obviously I'd move!

If you’re not comfortable being in a political minority, imagine how uncomfortable it is to be in an actual minority

I don't think I've seen a politician this efficient and effective in my lifetime.

The "specific pet issue" will in fact prevent me from living here eventually if not addressed. I'll vote from abroad if circumstances allow, but that's 10% of affecting change and you'll lose the other 90%. Abandoning core constituencies has consequences that can't be solved by voting harder.

10-0, 7-1, and 13-4 please

You can see this same phenomenon play out in the theme park world, actually. The Saudi propaganda coaster currently has a 100% user score on Captain Coaster

A lot of groups--the Biden and Harris campaigns, the mainstream media, social media companies, and, of course, Trump himself--bear responsibility for it, but no matter how you divide the blame, the fact remains that ~75 million American voters in 2024 were fully delusional about Trump.

If (ENORMOUS if) she wins the primary, it's because she's also winning the general. I can't confidently say that about any other Democrat

I think long-term the GOP still benefits because this fucks over married women and trans people the most, but in 2026 and 2028 there would be a whole lot of chuds going "what do you mean you don't take my driver's license anymore"

They'll be reasonably free and fair. The certification may be done incorrectly, but the left-wing* party can break quorum in that case. *in the same way as Labour in the UK

I should do my own polling

Saw a quote tweet that clowned on this while using a Woody Woodpecker GIF...

Was just blocked by someone in the middle of a conversation where she was the one being belligerent. Not the first time this has happened either. This website can be really annoying. Being mad at someone isn't a reason to block them! Ignore them or log off!

So we're subsidizing a dying industry that's atrocious for the environment? Giving some billionaires who made poor investment choices a lifeline? Preventing West Virginia and Pennsylvania from evolving their economies? Sounds great

If they try that Democrats break quorum

It's almost like they purged and banned those type of protests woah

And if the VRA gets struck down, we could try this with Washington, New York, Colorado, maybe Minneapolis, maybe Michigan...

Decision Desk moment

I would have rather had a safer 9-2, but you love to see the effort and it could come in clutch this year

Vexy and Hyperbaiter. Some of the lyrics are genuinely disgusting but the AI music is earworms and you can't escape it on giftok

Project Genie is impressive but I think it will hit a fundamental wall before it can be used for game development. Video games have very strict rules and predictable interactions that pure video generation just can't hit. There's a reason the limit right now is 1440 frames.

Every day I wonder whether this can go on all the way until the midterms

There was a 20-point swing in a St. Paul special election tonight on top of the municipality being deeply blue to begin with. I'm not too worried.

It is but not for the reasons MattY suggests.

I'm going to bang this drum again: a lot of the Democratic party's problems are downstream of them having no credibility with their base. Some of this is due to bad faith online criticism from lefty content farmers, but it is by no means the majority, and I'm sick of people suggesting such. 1/
