Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

You know what time it is

lmao and shit like this is exactly why Disney is currently midway-through relinquishing the crown of gold-standard animation pacesetter. Mark my words, they'll be stuck playing catch-up within the decade.

This is propaganda.

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

When I know it's definitely a trap, but I'm going anyway.

In an active lawsuit against the FDA, the state of Missouri is arguing that access to the abortion drug mifepristone has reduced teen birth rates, thereby harming its political representation in Congress. It’s an argument being made in federal court not just on Fox

knowing a lot abt music is awesome bc the answer to most questions like "who invented this thing?" is very often "Black musicians in the Midwest"

Without enormous government subsidies, SpaceX would be valued at... maybe 5% of that.

Sam Altman and other AI CEO's are a global threat to our existence. They are trying to save themselves when the AI bubble fully bursts. Now it seems they want AI to be immune to prosecution. AI will be able to kill with impunity and so will AI companies through "Accidents" if they chose to. WTF...

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

Ooooh, SO close for the chud!

Once again, we need a law that forces these companies to either open source the software so they can be reused or, at the very minimum mandated recycling of old devices (paid for by the vendor).

You know what doesn't get its support unceremoniously pulled by a tech company? Fuckin' books, brother

This is the equivalent of Nestle buying up all the fresh water in the world, but instead of bottling it and reselling it back they're using it all up to power huge data centres that shit directly into your mouth

“We aren’t as bad as the nazi bar” isn’t the win you think it is.

Chuck Schumer: ‘The American People Deserve A President Who Can More Credibly Justify War With Iran’ https://theonion.com/chuck-schumer-the-american-people-deserve-a-president-1835697625/

One of my fave theologically-focused YouTubers, ReligionForBreakfast, has a GREAT breakdown up of the data behind the current "GEN Z RETURNS TO THE CHURCH IN RECORD NUMBERS!" scam. In short: it's just not happening and no reputable data set supports it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdsP...

Could not have said it better myself The Constitution has many mechanisms to constrain Trump; to name a few: 1) Impeachment 2) Power of the purse to Congress 3) Emoluments Clause 4) Federalism We are here not because we don't have the tools, but because those who wield them won't use them

Reminder that in this house we do not trash other genres of books to support the genre we like the most. One, come on, we're grown ups. Two, the bottom line is people reading and loving books. Three, every writer you know has friends working other genres, don't trash their friends, thanks.

Somehow, the bodycam footage of Alabama police arresting a Black pastor watering his vacationing neighbor's flowers makes the story even more surreal than the headline suggests. They keep threatening to cuff a man who is *actively spraying planter boxes the entire time*.

Fox Business reporter: "Also, these guys, they make pretty good money. Some of them over $50,000 a year."

How is this not the standing model for leadership?

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

‘She-Hulk’ Was Apparently One of Marvel’s Most Successful Shows. The head of Marvel Television explained that there was a disconnect between fans and general audiences. gizmodo.com/she-hulk-was...

EMERGENCY RELEASE from Gen. Eaton.

people who make this argument are being deliberately obtuse these are AI data centers. they are different in power consumption, scale and purpose it’s like saying “how insane like 80% of ICE facility discourse shit is, if you substitute it for another govt building like a school or postal depot”

Chuck Schumer likes to imagine how his politics play with an imaginary middle-class middle-aged couple on Long Island, but I don't think he realizes that couple is currently constructing a guillotine in their suburban backyard and stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Aside from differences in professional skill sets, there's also the commercial consideration that specific narrators bring their own set of fans to the mix; there are more than a few people who found out about my books because they were (for example) @wilwheaton.net or Zachary Quinto fans first.

“I never thought Elon would muffle *my* legitimate news sources” says guy who uses the “Elon muffles legitimate news sources” app.

I feel that "you are no longer allowed to observe even mildly that learning to code pathways are difficult for people to access" is a depressing direction for the tech left to be so committed to now

This is an easy one. The answer is no. Sam Altman cannot be trusted. He does not control our future though. We are giving it to him. That's a different thing. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Why is the United States so ignorant and backward? We are such a stupid country.

The Equinox EV is officially so irritating that I'm going to ragequit errands and play with my bicycle. It has a near-EX90 amount of alerts I can't figure out how to disable without (maybe?) disabling safety features. When everything is an alert, none of the alerts make sense or matter!!!!!!!

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

this point is everything like, large language models are structurally incapable of fact-checking; you have to assume everything they produce is bullshit (which is why they work with code, because code can be bullshit and still run)

Even if Trump loses at the Supreme Court, I promise you that opposition to birthright citizenship is already mandatory for any future Trump judicial nominees. The conservative legal movement never treats a decision it dislikes as "settled." It just waits for another shot.

If there is one thing that I think the two Trump administrations have truly, conclusively proven, it's that the Evangelical right in this country would 100% fall for the antichrist, would line up to get the mark of the beast, would force their neighbors at gunpoint to get the mark of the beast, etc.
