the onus is not on "the left" to accept AI, it's on providers to present a compelling use case that isn't strictly FOMU, capitulation to "the inevitable," or condescension about what thought/life mean to living, thinking beings. none of that is forthcoming. all they have is culture war nonsense.

It’s so much better than I thought

boo Habs suck

Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is a delight. Made me pine for 2008 Toronto.

I’m 75% sure this photo is from the Toronto Sheraton. I’ve taken work calls from the Executive Cuck Chair.

Fascinating image...

Dave Meltzer is a batty graybeard wizard who has spent so long in his tower meditating on wrestling arcanum that he's forgotten what it means to live among mortals with their human stakes and human concerns

Incredible trio to spark romance in your relationship

We goosed ‘em a little, OK?

these assholes are so scared and it's a delight to watch

wild AI story from the Olympics ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it sports.beehiiv.com/p/olympics-d...

Pierre Poilievre finally won something.

Bruce knocked on more doors before and during the campaign than the entirety of Cabinet combined, let it never be said he doesn't understand his constituents.

agree but also if the Pats had pulled Maye for Yamamoto in the 2nd Quarter, they would have won

My Seahawks hatred comes entirely from all of the terrible Canadian bandwagoners who rode for them in the 2010s. Their teams are usually pretty cool.

One time I saw an oblivious guy at a bar blow it with a lady because he kept talking about his sick flight simulator rig he had at home. This kind of dude is locked in

the first actual media interview I ever did was with an alt-weekly and about private equity seeping into health care. that was like 12 years ago and I didn't see a single article in a major paper on that subject until like 4 years ago.

NEW: NEW: HHS is working on an AI tool to analyze VAERS—a database of vaccine injury claims to which anyone can make submissions—and "generate hypotheses." This is from @emilymullin.bsky.social:

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota. This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup. Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.

we are an Arctic country, we need to also do this as a show of strength

this is the most insane thing you'll read today

"you wanted a pony" is the guilt talking. the knowledge that you didn't push the party to do the right thing out of triangulation and cowardice. you tried to play a very dangerous game of enticing the enemy at the expense of alienating your allies and you're lashing out the people who warned you.

Our Italian friends could very easily shut this down, but we all know they won't

There is so much more football in the NFC game than in the AFC one. As someone who mostly watches football to see punts go out of bounds I can't say I care for it.

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

i cynically but sincerely believe they actually cancelled a game because Adam Silver was worried the crowd would signal its displeasure over the government killing its citizens and hurt the television product as well of the feelings of his real life actual close personal friend Jared kushner

A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

I am a doughy, peacenik, middle-aged civil servant but I have been certain for about a year now that I will join this insurgency if needed. It would be an honour to bleed out somewhere in the Canadian Shield because I was fighting these Nazi shitheads.

don’t care didn’t ask plus you’re from fucking Alberta

it’s about goddamn time to do the export controls. no oil, no hydro, no potash, no anything else of value.

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

The Twin Cities aren’t playing when they say Abolish ICE. Here’s another graphic for our Minnesota friends.

This really gets to the core of what makes Vance such a detestable figure

They know their audience has an insatiable appetite for seeing black women humiliated for exceeding their station, so when it didn’t happen they used AI to complete the fantasy bsky.app/profile/nyti...

With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Had to bring this over for "rinses his ass" 🤌

TRUMP: honk honk honk, I'm a big goose. everyone tells me whenever I enter a room, that's the biggest goose I've ever seen and I say yes. I'm a big goose. in a good way. a lot of Somalians are small stupid gooses but I'm a big goose BBC NEWS: a disciplined Trump sticks to the script on the economy

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

This is easily the best time in 40 years to get into cocaine. If you've been putting it off, don't wait any longer!

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

me (bursting open my apartment window like ebenezer scrooge): you there, boy! did it happen? boy (gloomily): no sir

I really hate how much I liked Carney's Davos speech.

i think that you're being an absolute wiener if your key complaint as an American right now is "the Europeans on this niche social media site are being mildly rude to me over the prospect of our mad king going to war with them."

I know we're all just waiting to be obliterated because the global military superpower elected a demented pedophile twice but think before you act snooty about americans
