Man I don't see any likely Dem nominee having the guts needed to even begin repairing the damage Trump is doing to the USA www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Still think he could have won '16

this is exactly why the whole "CEO of america" nonsense is DOA. this is what CEOs do. hey lets spend billions on the metaverse. whoops okay whatever. we dont need guys taking a flier on horseshit in the hopes of juicing the stocks. we need fuckin Statecraft. different shit

I feel like the surrender of the global electric vehicle market to China is one of those things that will, with a couple of decades of hindsight, be vastly consequential. Scaling benefits, technology development, supply chains... A lot of incumbents that depend on export markets will be screwed.

Are they saying they want the Epstein list guy back? lmao

vibe chart but matches my sense of things... we don't talk enough about how absurd that smartphone curve is man

Far better from Musk's perspective to do what X actually does, which is to identify issues that liberals care about that cause conflict and friction within the anti-Trump coalition and serve left-of-center users disproportionate amounts of that content instead.

if you actually trace the outcomes, strict liability would be relatively easy for the incumbents to weather and arguably better in some ways for them; it makes competitors (like this platform) prohibitively expensive, and mandates incumbents to expand their surveillance and censorship power

the way some US politicians and commentators talk about section 230 drives me insane. they want to “own” “Big Tech” so badly that they will rip out foundational law that protects the freedoms of _individuals_ because they think, wrongly, that doing so is inconvenient to “Big Tech”

guy who didn't think sora was clear signal of bubble pop but is convinced this is

Sinners is a film about blues music, assimilation, the failures of Reconstruction, and the cost of even false, fleeting freedom for ethnic minorities in America. It's also a film about eating pussy, killing vampires, and shooting Klansmen.

Imagine the wonders time cube guy could vibe code.

We do not hear enough about HAIR (🇭🇺🇺🇸🇮🇱🇷🇺) as an ideological bloc

Every day during the Biden administration we were on the precipice of a recession. But if the global supply chain breaks it's fine because Trump is President Business.

“We’ve bombed 38 bajillion targets!!!” Okay. Is Hormuz open? No? Then who gives a fuck.

> Russians start war > complain that their energy exports are now in question dawg what did you think was going to happen

There's going to be a FIFA Supreme Leader soon, isn't there?

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

If high culture is just whatever rich people consume than 21st high culture is EDM at burning man.

given the modern conservative fascination with Sparta it's at least a little funny that they've engineered a situation in which Persia is able to level a dramatically uneven battlefield by forcing the conflict into a narrow pathway

still old twitter used to be small and got bigger and we're talking multiple years so some degree of patience seems fine to me, it's not like the old world has a bright future

I know we are all preaching to the choir about Harry Potter on this niche microblogging site but one thing I also want to consider is: if you want to watch that shit, you don’t have to talk about it, no one will absolve you for your desire to watch it, do it silently and with shame

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Cat Warrior Blanket. Say it with me folks: We don't want more live action Disney remakes, we want movies about whatever the fuck this is! collabs.shop/xfgxxz

“Look, there have been some budget cuts. Those poor dumb fuckers are going to have to walk on the hot sand barefoot.”

Alec Guinness was famously totally checked out all the way through production while Cushing - who was a wargaming hobbyist and played Doctor Who a decade earlier - knew exactly what kind of film he was in better than anyone not called George Lucas

One of my operative paradigms for interpreting this administration is, precisely, as elder abuse. In much the same sense as you would analyze a malicious trustee robbing a doddering billionaire blind, you can imagine the sovereign power is held but not exercised by the person occupying the office.

"god does not play dice" that's because god exclusively bets on polymarket

Oh my god they're showing him the exact same "epic" call of duty style montages they're posting on their social media.

If Bilbo had Chat GPT

the actual core content of any such degree is I Hope You Like Matrices but I think people feel like it's all going to be Advanced Talking to ChatGPT and when these degrees really get underway it's going to be a structural challenge for the universities to manage this contradiction

it is crazy that kushner, not an employee of the US govt and actively paid by gulf actor, is here at all

“The computer is a tool I control whereas the phone is an evil I endure” omfg Yes…ha ha ha…YES…

It’s time to use a terminal based interface that looks like a BBS

Wishing the remaining ai2 folks the best. What incredible work they are doing! One of the few players in the west actually trying to help us all. bsky.app/profile/jaun...

imagine this story but instead of beating up OP in the parking lot, all his classmates hear him out and think that he's really cool and invite him to parties where they ask him to talk about linux even more. that's how my life is going lately. windows has fallen, trillions must live

Adam Becker is my favorite interplanetary colonization hater

At which point does the rest of the world fund a $1 trillion assassination market on Trump or something.

Motherfuuuuuuuuu

DNA is not even the hard part of computational biology tbh

fundamentally the problem is that it's moatless and therefore without financial value. chinese labs caught them here and nobody will pay significant money for it

I don't think anything will ever be able to top this one theonion.com/jurisprudenc...

markets watching the large adult president speak

Having lunch with some boomer family friends and they're talking about how Claude is the best AI seems Anthropic is finally winning the name recognition battle.

So much of domestic news in the US since last January is just reporting on the consequences of drastic policy shifts reverberating through complex systems with terrible first, second, and third order effects.

Die in like a week, humans do. After 900 years, give a shit, I do not.

Us, the boyars, are good actually! It's the tsar who's the issue

Israel's likely gonna wake up one day to Trump spreading antisemitic libels about how everything that went wrong with the Iran War is the fault of the Jews. Because he always blames his partners *first*, and is chronically unable to tell the difference between Israelis and diaspora Jews.
