ICE did a Kavanaugh stop, murdered a guy, lied about it, threatened to deport the witnesses, and the FBI is running a coverup and smear campaign. Do I have that right?

AI, then, isn't just the fantasy of a world without people - it's the fantasy of a world without people...except for slaves. 14/

Hmm Alastair Reynolds Charles Stross Stephen King @michaelastackpole.bsky.social Jim Butcher First ones who come to mind that I'm sure of

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

You go to the police and you give a traumatizing account and he interrogates you like you did something wrong and then he asks you if you really want to ruin this nice white boy's life. That's why the fuck people don't do police reports.

THIS STUDIO MADE THE FAMOUS IDTECH ENGINE AND YOU'RE FORCING THEM TO USE FUCKING **UNREAL**??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? FUCK YOU

Bring back niche weirdo stores

It's really hard to play hide and seek with my daughter because my dog is a FUCKING NARC

Post-Sanderism

Between this and the national guard in Memphis it’s kind of disturbing me (yes I know I’m a member of the media) the degree to which these killings aren’t really breaking thru rn

What the fucking shit, Ryan

It is the great fortune of my life that it turns out the thing I am passionate about and enjoy doing is an incredibly niche field

Were these design standards written by a drop of water trying to get inside?

What we already know is horrific. Imagine how bad discovery would be if the government is willing to pay our fees (something the government doesn’t readily do) just to avoid it.

Like, the answer is not “character is nothing,” the answer is simply a broader conception of character. Politeness is only one part of it.

Something I've been contemplating since the Platner collapse: it's a good thing this is a red line for people, I just think it's unfortunate that we focus so much on individual crimes like this and there's not the same condemnation for... Let's just say war crimes in office

Ok I figured out who needs to hear this

Wait you mean to tell me America did corruption and then didn't even win? That IS American

Here's my pitch: no fandoms. You can leave! - politicians - actors - sports teams - too contrarian independent journalist If they suck, hit da bricks!

Yeah that guy sure was totally loaded with red flags huh

It can never be underestimated just how childish investors are. They’re more credulous than children, in fact. Believing money grows on trees is about as plausible as believing it spawns eternally from nothing but expectations. It’s why they thought NFTs would be a thing. They’re like babies.

blogged it aftermath.site/microsoft-xb...

One thing about being in the majority demographic is that people in minority groups you support can say mean shit about your demo and it's fine you can just not take it personally. You don't actually have to get butthurt and be like "well I guess those hateful ___ want me to vote Republican"

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.

Gee, you think?

this is the most on-the-nose thing I have ever seen in my fucking life, whoever is scripting this simulation is a hack and a fraud

Almost?

Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!

it's crazy when you see a photo for the first time and recognize it's gonna be used as a shorthand for the era you're living in right now by historians in 100 years

Fuckin banger, old man Angel

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

imo dem primary voters are simply pissed about the party’s overall approach the last 2 years. and the disconnect between what primary voters want and what dems were determined to deliver has been obvious since day 1. and dems in both houses voted unanimously to elect this party leadership 1/

""Amazing," in a value-neutral sense, is definitely one way to describe the daily experience of living in a country that holds itself out as a global leader while also acting in the ways that the United States acts." defector.com/dead-country...

"In effect, for every $1 cut from programs for low-income Americans, the wealthiest 1% will get about $1 back in tax breaks." They also cut investments in climate resilience and tax credits for clean energy.

pickett's charge is one of the stupidest military maneuvers ever ordered and I do not have to die on that hill because so many confederates did it for me

I keep thinking about how revealing Trump’s comments about the Qatari 747 are - how the thing we can’t do in this country isn’t the plane (we built it) but rather that we could never make something so disgustingly opulent and luxurious, and how that makes it such a wonderful gift

Look I am not an expert but if you're a politician and you're seeing basically everyone who shares your alignment getting absolutely BTFO by candidates who are themselves riddled with what should be disqualifying red flags you should look inward at what YOU'VE been doing

"Until leftists collectively try to use judicial and then violent means to overturn an election that they clearly lost, as MAGA Republicans did in 2020, I don’t want to hear any bullshit false equivalences between leftists and MAGA conservatives."

Hey everyone: don't forget that if the grid gets overloaded with people's need for air conditioning, AI data centers can and must be the first to curtail

excellent

Ok but we already know what they're gonna say

Wow it's so great we avoided that car crash, I know that guy was really trying to hit us but it's a great sign for road safety that it missed us by a few inches, I feel a lot better about the system now What's that? Oh the same car ran over some trans people down the road? Oh...

constitutional birthright citizenship survives by 1 vote. and to think people were worried about this beautiful institution.

This is an accurate read, not a doomer view. Others in the party will be up to the challenge. Schumer and Jeffries are not.
