re: complaints that the Left isn't giving AI a chance when in the history of tech has a consumer demographic been guilt-tripped into adopting a product? "oh you don't like iPods because you prefer CDs? what is wrong with you? just buy the damn iPod! I'M NOT WEIRD YOU ARE"

it's okay everyone! the judges said it was bad so now everything can just go back to normal and none of the irreparable consequences actually mattered! www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/upo...

The 2020s condensed into five short paragraphs: a tapestry of meaning. There's an entire dissertation in here. I'm completely obsessed

please. continue wailing that the SCOTUS tariff ruling will somehow help Trump in the midterms. i need to know what cave you're hiding in so we can send help.

KAROLINE LEAVITT: Daddy Trump is considering a military strike on Iran REPORTER: wait didn't he say they destroyed their nuclear capabilities like a year ago? LEAVITT: *crying* why can't you all please just let him steal more money from everyone?

Tesla made suppliers tool up for 120k units/year of this turd, it sold a third of that in year one, and then sales fell by 50% in year two. Biggest flop in modern automotive history, and it isn't close.

started from the top, now we're here

welp. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/upo...

the world economy is gonna collapse under the whiplash and Trump's gonna blame SCOTUS, isn't he? isn't he.

what if the real tariffs were the friends we made along the way?

Breaking: Supreme Court rules that the tariffs were just for fun Their 6-3 opinion decrees “Bankrupting small businesses and making coffee beans cost $5 more was for funsies. We all had fun but it’s over now”

SCOTUS take tariff

the glorious constitutional principle of "the president can't fuck with Supreme Court justices' investment portfolios" stands strong

SCOTUS says the thing we all knew was illegal 12 months ago is still illegal---for a treat.

i've been working on this novel for 6 years and they just...skeeted it out

i understand my comments are feeding into the problem, but still... i don't think enough of the "Left" understands that Fuentes is just doing a Nazi Howard Stern thing. despite his photo-ops with powerful fascists, he's a Dystopian Shock Jock and little else.

i'm gathering that if i want a cool fantasy focused on badass loot and classic fantasy monster plots, i probably need to grab The Witcher 3

i fear i am becoming a Baldur's Gate 3 contrarian. it's fun and cool but... not *that* fun and cool? am i playing it wrong? i'm in Act 3 and so far Auntie Ethel is still far and away the best part?

just now losing trust in the DHS, you say?

I wrote about CBS, and how its debasement is best viewed as one small part of a much larger war on informed consensus by the frightened extraction class

i'll always take the opportunity to feature legendary songwriter @nicklutsko.bsky.social in a story and don't worry bud, we'll get that Webby back! the injustice will not stand www.popsci.com/science/catc...

To be fair, he didn’t stochastically capitalize, he capitalized every word!

the rest of the world looking at the US after arresting their supposedly immune geopolitical sex pests:

America has never reckoned with an intergenerational subset of the population that operates almost identically to North Korea's cult of personality they *truly* think the US is the best nation on all fronts, full stop. but their minds would explode if they saw a maglev train or paid maternity leave

each morning I awaken to new vistas of liberal collaboration

i don't think we as Americans are prepared for the years of geopolitical trolling that's coming our way

South Korea went from 'He's our president' to 'Life in prison' within less than 2 years pretty embarrassing stuff, America.

oh my god nobody cares just shut the fuck up

late to the party hater here: Baldur's Gate 3 is definitely a lot of fun, but the best game of all time? fuckouttahere

The AI discourse has been particularly unhinged lately. Here are five things I think are behind it: www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/five-takea...

wait what's that surely it's not no it is!! it's LILITH WITH THE CHAIR!!!!!

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.
