She also looks like fourteen, which makes the whole thing even grosser.

Maybe....just maybe....ALLOWING RICH PEOPLE TO RAPE AND MURDER WITHOUT PUNISHMENT wasn't such a good idea after all...or was it the NOT GIVING A SHIT about the Civil Liberties of law-abiding citizens for DECADES

Also, don't miss this thread

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

“Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.” “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Jane Goodall

OpenAI is essentially a social arsonist, developing and releasing tools that hyper scale the most racist, misogynistic, and toxic elements of society, lowering the barriers for all manner of abuse. The so called guardrails make a pinky swear look like an ironclad contract.

Open ai is literally destroying as much as it can of society with the hope that its disruption is seen as a “natural” phase of its existence and that we accept the danger it poses so the company can keep selling vaporware and myths in place of actual technology. This technology must be destroyed

I guess the good news is, we’re done with the farce that telegram was ever a platform for secure comms, now we can admit the whole stunt with protests in Russia and PD getting to cosplay a free speech hero was a giant con by the FSB to convince people to use a comms app they have a back door in

In the current American president, big tech companies found the permission to be the worst version of themselves. They are all-in. Cutting analysis from @cwarzel.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

I love this opening line: "If you measure only in dollars (and not in dignity), YouTube got a pretty good deal."

Congratulations to Chunk, voted the fattest bear! 🐻 Despite a broken jaw he was able to snack his way through the summer on all the sockeye salmon he could eat and packed on plenty of pounds to keep him healthy and snug all winter. What a magnificent reminder of nature’s resilience and beauty!

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

“According to a research note recently sent to clients by Deutsche Bank, the AI boom is currently helping the US economy avoid a recession but it cannot continue indefinitely” said George Saravelos, Global Head of FX Research at Deutsche Bank www.techspot.com/news/109626-...

Rewatching The Big Short for reasons

I just wrote to my US House Rep Jim Himes to ask that he not support any budget unless ACA premiums are subsidized, Medicaid is reinstated, and these are protected from Presidential override. Take a minute and do the same please now? 🙏🏻👊🏻💙

Are you sick of the mainstream media's ongoing shift to the right? Do you want more independent media? Then I'd love if you'd donate to our fall fundraiser @prospect.org! Send us cold hard cash and we will give you more of the anti-authoritarian coverage you want. Thank you we love you!

Absolutely insane take. The DC metro is fine (in fact, by American metro standards, it’s very nice!)

🤔 I wonder how many shutdown dramas we’d have to watch play out if all Congressional pay/ benefits were stopped during any shutdown? Starting with their Congressional pay/ benefits and sending all their staffers home without pay. 🤷🏻‍♂️

👀 There’s no such thing as “free speech” on monetized media. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A massage from an AI robot kind of felt human, but lacked certain aspects of the human touch and required me to engage in too much screen time.

The press generally doesn't find this sort of thing interesting enough to cover, and the outlets that CAN be bothered approach it with typical "he said, she said" framing so the reader never really understands this was being driven by AT&T and friends

This is terrible for everyone

"The one tool [Democrats] do have is refusing their consent to keep the government open and funded unless they get some basic concessions not merely on Medicaid but also on executive branch compliance with federal statutes,” writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org in The Situation.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire [via @popular.info]

Always a grift.

👀 Remember this… It’s the same cynicism that released 5K Taliban from prison to destabilize the Afghan government. This is a ticking time-bomb for the next Mayor of NYC. 🗽🙈

I’m going to say it again, generative AI and the push for it to be used in every Avenue of learning and education is because generative AI literally is a weapon for knowledge destruction not a knowledge creation tool and silicon valleys goal is to monetize and gate off all of human knowledge

Can't hear the Liberty Bell March without thinking of Monty Python, which is appropriate for this moment and this era and these guys and everything

Man, today's Lawfare stream hurts a little to watch. Parloff is still a consummate professional talking about deeply researched case law. But recent events have clearly taken their toll on his belief that *any* laws are real when it comes to Trump. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0zJ...

The DOJ indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two criminal counts — one of making false statements and the other for obstruction of justice — marking the most dangerous escalation of Trump’s retribution campaign yet.

Remind everyone when this shutdown happens...this is a result of the Republicans...this is on them.

(bluesky user bursts into Waffle House) OH SO YOU HATE PANCAKES??

🙄 TikTok is an Op. 🤷🏻‍♂️

No wonder Netanyahu is so happy about Larry Ellison’s pending acquisition of TikTok. It seems the two men are close. Article below from 2021. 1/ www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-on...

meh. Always easy to target the military. The condemnations never float up to the politicians that approved of sending troops. President Harrison and the 51st & 52nd U.S. Congress should be held in much higher contempt.

🤔 I wonder if Ezra and Bill Maher had an interview together if their combined ego and pliable character would open a singularity. The two of them sucked into a black-hole of their own making is comforting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

When I met Ezra in 2005 I thought his moral compass pointed only to self aggrandizement. He was an arrogant prick then and he has not changed, only got richer selling it since.

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

Again, this looks awesomely bad - if nothing else, it was the US right that spent a decade screaming about Democratic Party abuse and trafficking rings - until you realise the whole operation is very wealthy sex offenders buying their way out of personal consequences.
