elon musk spends two-thirds of his time spreading racist pseudoscience and hating trans people and here is Ezra Klein in 2026 saying Musk is relentlessly focused on the only things that matter to him: EVs and going to Mars. I'm sorry but the guy's just very very dim

watching people burn as much political capital as possible to push major tech industry shit to Texas specifically is fucking depressing.

the post being referenced here quite literally did not contain any "use of" slurs, the one written slur was quite obviously and clearly in the context of it being a thing a person being referenced wanted to say insane to watch the two minutes hate lie machine cranked up in real time

"transroboticfabulist furry marxist 😈😼 Stalin did nothing wrong ✊️👊 Pronouns they/it 🔞 minors DNI [cashapp link]" and then it's 50 posts of furry porn interspersed with mutualaid scams and telling people who aren't the right kind of leftist to [TOS violation] themselves

And then what happened

I am once again tapping the "it is a genuine qualitative break from 99.9% of human history that society can now produce massive food surpluses with the labor only a tiny percent of the population and nobody has any idea how to grasp this" sign.

I think this man needs to die in a cell.

Something that I can’t stop noticing now is how environmentalists & folks who take strong positions on resource usage in certain contexts never recommend flying less.

I remember when I was writing the copy for my old campaign site and trying to figure out how to define the group I thought couldn’t be compromised with, and realized it was this group exactly. The people who could not resist the urge to indulge in recreational cruelty www.willstancil.org/priorities1

that didn't very long at all (extremely affectionate)

Intrusive thought: induction stoves are great because you can charge your phone on them

Oh hey, it’s the town full of absolute nuts under the jurisdiction of the Sheriff’s dept that MGP recently did a photo op with.

Holy smokes

I did not realize how much architecture critic lore I had missed. Do you think she realizes, when she’s looking at an apartment that costs X, that someone else is out there who would love to live there for 70% of X

this is catastrophically untrue, and the fact that it's even come close to picking up currency on the left is a complete disaster for leftist governance. if you expropriated the entire wealth of every billionaire in the country, you could pay for the federal government for one year. that's it.

There is nothing more important than keeping New Yorkers safe, and reining in super speeders will save lives. I am proud to support efforts in Albany to enable new tools like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) in our fight for safe streets.

One issue imo is that the amount of Glonzoism we’d have to embrace to get it to 95/5 would alienate some amount of people.

I’m sorry it is so goddamn funny that we invented a way to vaporize nicotine vapor so you don’t need to inhale smoke, but the anti-smoking efforts were SO successful that vaping got lumped in there, and now people are talking like this about cigarettes. (No, vaping is not good for you.)

He was treated using CAR-T therapy, which genetically engineers a patient's own T-cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells. As of April 2023 (that is, less than five years ago), six CAR-T cell therapies have been approved.

queen shit

No argument w Faine but an important exception to this is speeding cameras or any form of surveillance to enforce traffic laws.

we're going to kill ourselves failing to realize that the pension crisis and the border crisis solve each other

This point actually has the opposite valence on me than what it intends. 17k cars are sold in the US alone *every day*. partnershiponai.org/wp-content/u...

this is basically vulgar Making Up Guys to Get Mad At but it's a little brain melting for the continual cover-up of the epstein files to be one of the largest news stories of the year at the same time as the shitty michael jackson hagiography breaks box office records

But sir, my moles. They need whacking

as with lbj calling his opponent a pigfucker, "make the sonafabitch deny it." pass a law saying trump and his fucking cronies are going to have to give back every cent they've stolen from us. make republicans line up, over and over, to declare themselves the party of robbing americans.

here's my dumb take: impeachment isn't a priority because it's old and tired and won't generate media. what should dems actually pass? HR1: No Self Dealing, a swath of anticorruption measures. make republicans vote no on that. make them the "stealing from america" party

Knew a guy that lived out there during and after Covid. The Clark County Sheriffs seemed to be friendly with the local drunk Qanon nuts who would drink at the end of the driveway of people they disagreed with at town meetings.

God this is going to be so much more FUN than watching any other design evolution for a new vertical.

And listen I get some of the purported context here is about Gaza but the thing is Trump is exactly as bad and you don’t hear her say shit about it. She says the rest is COVID and Trump was way worse on it and you don’t hear her say shit.

Lotta commentary going on which I broadly agree with. We should probably remember, though, that everyone thinks they’re “doing the right thing” most of the time. We generally believe that about our own actions, no matter what they are!

If there was a competition for “shooter manifesto most divorced from reality” I would bet 2 out of the top 3 meet the criteria of “they felt like no one else was doing anything, and so they had to act”

shot/chaser

Yeah, I get the impression that a huge number of very normal people are speedrunning to a place that people like us got to 20 years ago.

15.5k people watching a livestream of a massive spontaneous block party at the house of a video game designer who was just apprehended for attempting an attack at the white house correspondents dinner is quite cyberpunk

If Brad Pitt gets $5 mil for a commercial, an unknown will get $50k for that, not $5 mil. Feels like an important distinction?

Oswald was in fact a lone gunman who pulled it off, and the federal LE/IC apparatus got so freaked at the fact that *any whacko with a Carcano could just fucking DO that* that they wink-and-nudged at conspiracists for years to discourage copycats as well as obfuscating how easy it was for a rando.

Entire thread of replies full of people going “but he lies a lot and is involved in other conspiracies!” as if that wasn’t also the foundation of saying he’s a lizard under the control of the grey aliens

It’s there, man

Good. Distracted driving is deeply antisocial and if new tech helps us prevent it, good.

Oh my god

That time i came home and found them ready to sled down the stairs directly into an armoire. 🔥 This is the same group that our cities and police hope behave perfectly walking to school instead of forcing drivers to be safe by design. Kids are predictably unpredictable and we must account for that

They can ice skate now

we can recycle HDPE! we just usually choose not to. maybe now we'll actually start doing it

Some artists like landscape architects create their art, and then it’s never frozen in time, it’s never just one thing. And surely some of the outcomes surprise, for better or worse, the creator. This is a post about generative dialog in video games.

Hasan: “I endorse crime.”

yeah we have to ban it. Theres been enough of these that the incentive to obscure real data is extremely high, and much higher than the incentive to reveal real data
