So if AI Psychosis is a thing that happens because the human mind breaks when it's trapped by a sycophant who affirms every thought, agrees with every delusion - does this give us a window into what's been happening into the ultra rich , and why they're such broken people?

Good Mole Man to you

Thanks to technology, bananas are becoming obsolete as pretend phones. The future belongs to the Pop-Tart.

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

One partner who can’t finish their food and another partner horrified by the idea of letting food go to waste works out much better than you might think

Look at this photo. This isn't a concentration camp? If you look at this and say "well guys we can't just stop this, there's too many levers that need to be pulled" you might lack a soul

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

🇮🇶 Iraqi Kurdish women braid hair at protest in solidarity with Syrian Kurds Dozens of women gather in Erbil, the capital of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, to braid each other's hair in a show of support, after a Syrian soldier bragged in a video about cutting off a Kurdish fighter's braid in Raqa.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

Hell yeah #BladeRunnerLive

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Everyone knows “regular clothes under Bloc clothes”, but also “extra Bloc underneath regular clothes, but actually it’s a ninja outfit in case you need to hide”

this is the funniest thing anyone’s ever tweeted

The Portland 2020 summer protests depleted the entire federal supply of teargas, years of stockpiling. They still haven’t recovered.

Stargate SG-1 Finale in a nutshell: “Life is a tragic and beautiful thing, huh?” “It really is. Now let’s get back to work”

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

this is why you don't give them an inch

2001: A Space Odyssey. There was a guy talking through the whole first half, in a conversational manner, narrating the story in granular detail. I could see people stirring, and eventually asking him to stop during the intermission. I think they waited for the lights to come on (nervously)

A three word love story: *lowers volume* “Good?”

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

Holy shit, ai slop is everywhere I’m just now seeing I just replaced my 6 year old phone, and jumped ahead 10 iOS updates. Finally seeing things in the apps that I was trying to avoid.

Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember. Alan Moore

As a child, the tv show “How it’s Made” was a favorite.

Give Jamie Loftus a Golden Globe you cowards

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

This is the thing here - it’s pretty obvious the Dems don’t want to abolish ICE (right now), but the genie is out of the bottle. Normies are screaming for ICE agents’ heads. You can’t slap a rainbow sticker on this one bsky.app/profile/atta...

Blade Runner is one of the best FRANKENSTEIN movies. And I’m not gonna explain

I’m still using Pandora for music, no Spotify algorithm can match my 15yrs of “thumbs up” playlists

Goddamnit, another IG advert for a frivolous product i very much want to buy. But integrity means that I won’t. I did not consent to be enticed by brass key-blanks that look like medieval castle keys, or like Victorian drawer handles

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Today is the 60th(!) anniversary of the first public report on the dangers of fossil fuel pollution. What happened? A whole lot of fossil fuel bullsh*t and corruption in service of a whole lot of nothing. All while pollution and warming escalated far beyond what scientist predicted in 1965.
