The modern internet is so stupid. All it is is advertising from top to bottom. Case in point: I opened the Lyft app and all the cars have Adobe logos on them for some reason.

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Started watching a video about the horror elements of classic Fallout and within the first minute the narrator says the series was inspired by The Road. Video essayists continue to be mostly very stupid!

If you believe genAI use is justified because art is gatekept by the talented, I have bad news for you: it IS gatekept, but not by artists. It’s gatekept by YOU for being too lazy or insecure to be bad at something and learn

Very proud to find my book in my beloved Brooklyn Public Library! They have 5 copies in the system, go borrow it! @oni-press.bsky.social

MFW during an AI training meeting a coworker says Chat GPT generated a photo of her yelling at her children without her asking it to, but that “she still loves using it anyway.”

this is a phenomenal quote

Still trying to wrap my head around the gap between how vast Epstein's network was and the incredible amount of influence he wielded with how obviously caveman-stupid he was judging by the way he writes in his emails.

After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered. 18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

Absolutely LOVING the looks Mitch McConnell is serving when you search his name. SLAY, Mr. Senator!

Going on Twitter now is like putting your brain into a deep fryer. I'm not just talking about all the MAGA Nazi stuff, even the posts from people I'm notionally on the same "side" as are so shockingly stupid it makes me very concerned for the future.

🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon said Tuesday that the federal government is planning to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to patrol polling stations during this year’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

As much as I'm enjoying my current project I'm like a month or so away from having no deadlines for the first time in like two years and I am very excited to get there.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Resharing this again because I'm still looking for some coloring work

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

If this is all they demand, then they're not serious, it's theater. When we see prosecution for the murderers on the table, they're being serious.

The most basic gun rule is don't point your weapon at something you don't intend to shoot and don't shoot something you don't intend to kill. So there are only two possibilities here: EITHER the agents were willing to murder observers OR they have never received any firearms training. 🧵

It’s your city, from the sidewalk to the skyline. The David Dinkins Municipal Building’s rooftop is open & free to everyone, starting this June.

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

You do not have to take anyone who says that eating out/ordering delivery is cheaper than cooking seriously. It is an insane and idiotic claim on its face.

AI is literally a consent manufacturing machine.

$3,000 billion dollars. the whole earth is being turned into paperclips right now for this trash people don't even want being shoved into every product that's consistently failing businesses that are trying to use it, deeply screws up and even undoes learning in ways that seem borderline irreparable

What the rest of the country needs to know is those days don’t exist in Minnesota right now. Every single day we hear about them terrorizing one of our neighbors, tear gassing the helpers, and driving around our city like maniacs

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Need great thriller novel suggestions please

The way Film Twitter people sound posting about anyone who has a remotely “normie” movie opinion is the way phrenologists sound talking about people’s skull shapes.

One more reason my soul shrivels up every time I hear someone say "I just used chatgpt to ____"

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

He's looting the U.S. Treasury, people. Most crooked dictators find covert ways to get rich. Trump intends to simply order his government to transfer money into his bank account.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

Seeing a lot of “this is all a distraction, release the Epstein files” also calling this release of Epstein files a distraction.

Why do comics take such a stupid amount of time

I’m not surprised there are filmmakers who genuinely think AI is the future of cinema but I am surprised that anyone would be dumb enough to try to be one of the first guys to do it.

YouTube has been bad for a long time but recently there’s been a sharp uptick in the amount of times I see a thumbnail now and grimace thinking about the kind of cretins who watch this total garbage

Really funny bit to further torch your moldering reputation by embracing AI and what you choose to make with this purported no-limitations-imagination-machine is Ben Franklin fancams

There is absolutely zero chance those Sam Mendes Beatles movies are anything other than complete dreck.

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

An attorney quoted further down: “The water is putrid. They have to mix baby formula with water that nobody wants to even smell. The food has bugs in it. The food has dirt in it.”

"CBP stays at the border" might sound like a win, but keep in mind that this is what "the border" means to them www.aclumaine.org/know-your-ri...
