The one thing these chuds don’t have and crave more than anything: legitimacy

Two score & nine years ago some jabronis put meatheads in a cage on this continent, a new sport, conceived in greed, dedicated to a proposition that all men are animalistic chuds Now we are engaged in Civil War 2.0 Stupid Boogaloo, testing whether this nation can long endure all this fucking stupid

Incredible piece, but it needs to be said explicitly: these people are dangerous eugenicists. They want the "wrong" people to be exterminated and replaced by AI. That's abhorrent and you can't pretend otherwise.

This answer alone should destroy this administration. This conversation is essentially: “people are hurting.” “ceos are fine.”

Love this bit on Ai from the Royal Society. A classic case of the probability engine getting itself in a mess and revealing its complete lack of understanding

When the state says, you have free speech and assembly rights only in specific places where we allow you to have these rights, it effectively means you have no right to free speech and assembly.

Geezus, he’s leveled up now. He’s full-on “Tell me again about my silky fur and penetrating predator eyes, monkey”

The thing I miss about cigarettes the most is the ability to have a satisfying long slow dramatic drag / exhales into the void at emotionally key moments

Walked into the other room to find the cat like this

One of the biggest shocks of my adult life was realizing there's a hidden division in society between people who think certain acts - cruelty, torture, murder - are inherently wrong, versus the majority of people who think there are no wrong actions, just incorrect targets.

I wonder if you can tell I like electric guitars?

These “Disclosure” film premiere promotions are getting a bit too much

Some Saturday blues with Albert Collins…

I think probably the most important part of Smith and Marx's work is accurately identifying what Capitalism *is*, and the single biggest rhetorical coup of the 20th century has been modern capitalists completely obscuring that fact.

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

I have absolutely zero interest in Spielberg's "Disclosure Day". None. So fucking tired of aliens / government conspiracy content of all kinds at this point. No more of that shit. It's been rotting brains for decades now & we have authoritarians in power using all those tropes in their propaganda

"No AI" fast becoming the "pesticides and additives-free" of our digital universe.

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

man if only we'd had some hint of Trump being a threat to voting by mail such as when the guy he put in charge of the post office pulled out mail sorting machines and had them beaten to pieces, but, alas, we had no such warnings & Democrats thought the guy was wonderful to work with

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

The Death of Originality: How The Internet Killed Every Counterculture Movement

This is a metaphor more metaphorical than any metaphor that has ever metaphored before.

3/ The Vought White House, which has adopted UET on steroids, is extending this to the proposition that only the president can identify national priorities, even in the teeth of countervailing statutory language. That is personalist rule; it has nothing to do with rule by law.

For now the unofficial vote.gov is just a pre-build that isn’t accessible but if and when it is deployed as part of the totally unconstitutional White House takeover of elections, it would decimate the wall Congress put up between the executive branch and voter data.
