“All politicians are corrupt” is what corrupt politicians WANT you to think because then they become the average

Pushes play: Luke: 'Master Yoda, what's in the cave?' Yoda: 'Only that which you take with you'

Wrestling fans! I took a look (with numbers!) at the last 10-plus years of women's wrestling in WWE! robsagenius.com/2026/05/12/f...

I block people who annoy me because i do not have to be annoyed on a voluntary app. Idc if you think that is weak. I do not think of you, at all.

Somebody needs to tell Mike to get out there on the track if he needs some more money

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

9 months old and still so true. “ If you’re pushing slop or eating it, you wouldn’t read it anyway. You’d ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider.”

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

The race for the IPOs is a sprint towards dumping the vast costs of popping this bubble onto rubes (ie, everyone else) before it lands on all the people who have inflated it.

The key objection to AI as a product is how rubbish it is at most things. (The objections to AI as a social and economic vortex are nigh endless) It can rejiggle existing information (the more structured, rote and unoriginal the source, the better) and it can write software code (see above).

This is humiliating, we got a whole 'Let's go Knicks!' going in their building. Defund the Cavs

Almost done with season 2. Observations: 1. Stringer Bell is a dumb person's idea of a smart person 2. McNulty is unintentionally hilarious, great character 3. I was hurt bad when DeAngelo Barksdale got killed 4. Lester Freamon is the coolest dude ever

Best Pope ever

Reminder that Sean Trende takes money to diminish the voting rights of Black people, and therefore he’s a bad person. Whatever tender moments he may have with the people with whom he shares family ties don’t make him a good person.

The thing about “Bluesky is a bubble” takes is that they start with the false assumption that social media is our job or some sort of responsibility. This isn’t my job. It’s probably not yours, either. It’s not our responsibility to ruin our days on a Nazi hellsite or to talk to dummies here.

At the end of the day, the real problem with Bluesky is that it doesn’t have an algorithm that forces the dregs down people’s throats. Consequently, the dregs’ egos and pocketbooks are suffering. People aren’t obligated to like you on SM just like they aren’t obligated to like on IRL.

People who come on here and mistake a lack of desire to argue with a lack of engagement is proof positive that X has broken brains.

I'm sorry, this is like getting on somebody for only playing video games that they like or drinking Coke if they hate Pepsi. People left twitter because they grew to hate the experience. This is an entirely voluntary thing that no one has to do any way they don't want to

Take the sliver of population who makes angry Youtube videos every time an entry into the series doesn’t cater exclusively to them and launch them into the sun. As a bonus it would probably also fix Marvel and Star Trek.

FUN FACT: I NEVER miss a movie that has "GROGU" in the title. #MustSee 👀

///BREAKING/// The feds are DISMISSING all remaining counts in the politically charged "Broadview Six" case days before trial, marking the final collapse of what had been one of the marquee criminal cases to come out of Operation Midway Blitz. Background: www.chicagotribune.com/2026/05/07/b...

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Cue up the fail whale

I finally figured out the problem with most Americans. They treat every mild inconvenience like an attack on their rights and every attack on their rights as a mild inconvenience.

This presumes something false: That social media platforms are actually a digital marketplace of ideas wherein robust debate occurs that changes the minds of those so engaged. Horseshit. Shards of rhetoric turn no one. This platform can gather, rally and encourage the sentient and sane. That's it.

DJ Akademiks:

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

Man, I don't know who those people making the LANTERNS show think they're getting away with but one of them has a GREEN RING. RIP-OFF. DC should sue.

Detroit Pistons:

Calling this the “rats and sinking ships” moment for AI. This is when you watch people jump from company to company to whoever is subsidizing that day until there’s nobody left

Watching the S1 finale of the Pitt, and that anti vaxxer Mom is way on the nose. I'm legit pissed at her

So basically....get that stock price up, cash out before the bubble pops while the industry embeds itself in government so that it can get neverending contracts aka welfare

If you can't be convinced by any other argument against AI, just know that it's not always gonna cheap or free. Just like everything else they sold you cheap they're gonna raise the price real fast one day

See, this is where 24/7 railing against the 'Democratic Establishment', whatever that even is, leads: making smooth brain takes like this because that's where committing to the grift ultimately forces you to go.

Rest in Piss, Cassidy. All that dickriding for nothing

Me and Law & Order..... and every time Stabler roughs up some pedo:

Jared Polis deserves all the smoke y'all usually have for everyone else, F that guy 10 ways to Sunday

40 years ago today, Run DMC released their third studio album “Raising Hell” (1986). #RunDMC #80s #80smusic #hiphop #oldschoolhiphop

That guy put out 3 albums in response to getting squashed like a Saturday morning jobber? Y'all got it, I ain't listening to a single verse of that shit.....

I was gonna offer up some backhanded compliment but just listen, he got it right

1. Biden governed as progressively as you're gonna get from POTUS, and y'all gave him zero credit for it 2. 'The Dems' are millions of primary voters, go talk to them and convince them to vote for your magical candidate

The greatest problem with 2016 is it convinced tens of thousands of people that the primary is guided by a smoke filled room of elites and not, you know, 71 y/o Cheryl from Davenport who loves to vote in every election and thinks Pete is a smart young man who reminds her of RFK.

Scottie Pippen done turned into a crypto bro, damn shame

“Use AI or get left behind!” Please, leave me behind. Drop me off on the side of the road somewhere. Sentence me to a remote cabin with a typewriter and some wildflowers that don’t know how to use the internet

85% of the conservative movement for people over the age of 50 is rooted in them never getting over the first time they heard "For English, Press 1" on a phone in 1986

Also if a pundit sees anything on the Internet they don't like that thing becomes the position of "the left" regardless of what rando was the source. Republicans are enacting Jim Crow 2.0 and hanging with Nazis but calling them on it is inappropriate.

This is the vast imbalance in our media ecosystem: Democrats are held accountable for what they *might* do based on the words of their fringe voters and policies they are considering but never happen. Republicans aren’t even accountable for what they *are* doing.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”
