Game 8 is up!!

this is how William Gibson is posting these days we're gonna make it y'all

Friends don't let friends use the Discover feed.

I'm glad i'm not a lawyer but i'm especially glad i'm not one of OpenAI's lawyers because holy shit are they fucked if Apple has (or can get) evidence of this

Fight Agency needs to be thrown into The Contraption

“That’s a post-hoc rationalization” motherfucker YOU are a post-hoc rationalization

If you can't pay your taxes, then just sell and go rent something, you won't have to pay taxes then and you'll have the wealth of your house to pay the rent.

BRO SOL WANTED TO MAKE THEIR SONA IN BLENDER I CAME BACK TO THIS NOT AN HOUR LATER

A developer used AI to translate her code. The master asked, "Does it compile?" "It compiles." "Do the tests pass?" "All of them." "Then what troubles you?" The developer said, "I no longer know which parts I understand." The master replied, "Did you understand them before?" ...

i wish i could communicate to my cats that i don't hate them and want them to starve to death, i'm just trying to align their feeding schedule to my new sleep schedule

If we're wishcasting film adaptations of songs, i want Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts as a neo-noir/Western heist movie with the confrontation in Lily's dressing room looking like a Guy Ritchie scene

new reaction meme just dropped

Acts of simple sabotage, multiplied by thousands of citizen- saboteurs, can be an effective weapon against the enemy.

Remember: Be Safe, Be Seen, Grab a Brick

oh my god kill everyone

This looks legit good

Liberal transhumanism is when you have the right to genetically modify yourself into a catboy or genderless octopus but not into a gunboat or Godzilla (it would disrupt the state monopoly on force) This is what I actually believe

When Matt Stoller, Gallego, Sanders, the Pod Save Bros, Ryan Grim, and MattY were all on team Platner, you cannot possibly argue that this was one specific faction unless that faction is "misogynists" and no one wants to admit they have those in their camp, let alone do anything about it

I keep telling people that there's a massive network of bot-like follow-back accounts who are pushing pro-Platner disinfo *hardcore*. And they're *all* aligned with the usual disinformation sources like Ryan Grim and Co.

If being hard on yourself worked it would have worked by now.

i have to *really* like your posts if your network graph looks like that and i still follow you we don't talk enough about bot cooties. it's okay and normal if fucktons of weird bots follow us. we run into problems when we follow them *back*.

i love blocking people who add everyone who blocks them onto all their unhinged moderation lists like "People whose mothers I’ve slept with", "People Born Without Genitals", "Fish Fuckers", "The last surviving 9/11 hijackers", and more normal ones like calling me MAGA or a child sex trafficker

Casting aspersions on the sort of people who hold state/local organizing roles and committee seats as implicitly corrupt elite "party insiders" is trash slopulism. They didn't ask to be put in this position, it's no power grab. They have a job to do and have been duly democratically chosen to do it.

i'm afraid we have to say up front, NOT Olivia Nuzzi

The NYT is now reporting that they were able to reach McConnell on the phone. He was both conscious and conversant, and explained how the experience has given him a new outlook. "I bear witness that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.", the senator said unhesitatingly

i don't think i'd get oysters if i was told that they were from the restaurant owner's son's farm, just on principle of being mildly against vertical integration i want food made from ingredients purchased at fair market value, not the product of some sweetheart deal between family members

a quote of a one singular word post from grace 8 months ago really sums up what the "following norvid" experience is like

"anything but the most pristine romantic/dating history" is such a wildly revealing way to talk about it being revealed that someone is explicitly a rapist

am i feeding a troll? yes. will it be worth the consequences of feeding the troll if it results in said troll's transition? i sure hope so.

i don't know if he's name-searching or scrolling through the quotes here, but if it's the latter: "initiating totally unnecessary physical contact" was a very funny accusation to make of Maxine Waters, and it still makes me laugh

my model of masculinity is Mr Rogers, not The Punisher.

Pod Cost The Senate

Bernie was the compromise for them because he didn't have credible allegations, just questionable essays from a long time ago

i want to see Yelp reviews from 2018 of his mom's restaurant saying not to get the oysters because they're dogshit

hard to read this as anything other than the NYT trying to plant an October Surprise timebomb

i'm not a defense attorney but i feel like it's a bad look for Swiper to say "Oh, man!" when instead he could play it cool and act like he *wasn't* about to swipe something that time you know, make Dora and Boots look like assholes for daring to think that Swiper would do the thing he always does

in the same way that we don't really *know* that Swiper was going to swipe something until he says, "Oh, man!" at being told "Swiper, no swiping," this suggests to me that Klippy was *hoping* that Platner was a rapist and is disappointed that this came out in time for Platner to drop from the race

Reminder

notably he does not say that Mitch McConnell talked back.

need that but it's this

that's the way you do it

If "Dems" means Maine's primary voters, at this point i have to assume they see Platner as the total package. Like, they saw the tattoo, they saw the reddit posts, and now they can rest assured that they got a rapist onto the ballot just like they hoped.

It is kinda funny that Vance wrote a whole book about how rural whites are poor because they’re lazy and have bad cultural values and no one ever really challenged him on this, especially considering that Trumpism is basically the inverse of this

The IOC heard people talking about how unethical and corrupt FIFA is and had to remind everyone who the king is

Good news, we can use the rhyme again

a guy who acts like this should be nowhere near anything that ever has to relate to a normal person
