A year ago: We're building data centers everywhere to run you out of your job and double your power bill. It's so you can look at fake videos of talking dogs on your phone Now: Why are people so hostile about the data centers

If you've ever seen me use any type of starch while cooking, you should know that I have quietly whispered, "superproducer Scott Starch" to myself.

People are going to freak out, like they do every 2 years, because they refuse to learn that the initial votes counted in CA are always far to the right of whatever the actual results end up being.

Holy shit, I procrastinated myself into an actual factual "if you're in line to vote stay in line" situation.

yup this is the best case scenario, and the polling is close enough that it’s extremely plausible any candidate outside of steyer/becerra or raman/bass is polling far too low at this point so if you want republicans locked out those are your options

At the end of the day, the thing that AI will prove the most is that the tappity-tappity of writing code is trivially easy.

Genuine question: how much money do you think Disney left on the table not calling it "The Baby Yoda and Shiny Man Adventures"

lmao

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

one member of Los Angeles County's board of supervisors has more constituents than the U.S. senators of 12 states

Can anyone point to a moment in American history where “Instead of prosecuting these people who violated the law to serve their own political ends I think they should face no consequences so we can heal our divided nation” didn’t make things worse

this is a masterpiece

BREAKING: Man threatens to leave place he does not live in

Experts aren't always right. That's why I put my faith in morons who are never right

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"

Funny things still happen over at the bad place This guy put a prompt in his LinkedIn and now AI recruiters are writing him in Old English and calling him "my lord"

2014: Am I smart enough to host a comedy podcast? 2026: Am I dumb enough to host a comedy podcast?

turns out that you can drive up the birthrate with a baby bonus, you just need to crank it up to twice the per capita income www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/o...

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

I think it's unhealthy for one's greatest ideological aspirations to be hoping the bad things happen quietly and politely enough that you can tune them out for a couple years. Trump isn't a freak aberration, he's a direct result of every administration since at least Nixon.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

It's honestly kind of amazing how quickly the horsemen of the apocalypse show up every time Trump is President.

I know there's a chance that he doesn't know because he's a moron, but... all the actual people working there know that polygraphs are pseudoscience, right? Should it be scary to sit down with a fortune teller?

yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

i want just one (1) tech reporter to ask sam altman this exact question “if your ai is so advanced, dont you have a fiduciary duty to your company to fire yourself and replace you with your highly advanced model?”

Is there a name yet for the inverse Turing test yet? Like, if you're the type of person who can be fooled into thinking that a chatbot that you know is incapable of consciousness is conscious, that definitely tells us something about you. Recognize this is a diagnostic test.

I was forced to the back of the bus. This ain't theoretical for me. I lived this shit.

I just realized who Erika Kirk’s frown reminds me of and it’s that old man puppet Jeff Dunham used to bring out

I will say, if there's any writing job that AI could easily do, it would be writing Nazi propaganda.

It's so wild that Republicans will do anything they can do suppress the Black vote, but somehow, whenever it comes time to campaign, Democrats will do anything they can not to increase the Black vote.

The basic view of Alito and the rest of the Roberts Court when it comes to voting rights is that black people can vote for anyone they want as long as it is a Republican.

Okay, but also, I can't believe my tax dollars are going to pay the salary of a cartoon Nazi mouse who made a wish upon a star to become a real live boy.

Any time AI people pitch this vision of entertainment, is there ever an actual use case that isn't sociopathic? Imagine the dumbest asshole at your work telling you about the bespoke romcom slop he generated last night starring himself (it will always be a "him.")

It's really telling how much AI boosters don't understand the difference between "writing" and "typing."

The guy being a centrist democrat who didn't actually shoot but is still being blamed for a shooting is maybe a little too on the nose.

Gavin Newsome has said his son is a fan of Charlie Kirk Andrew Tate and now Clavicular. You should probably stop running for office and spend time with your son

Honestly, I'm not totally against Trump having like a fortified private room for, you know.

btw, you know this isn't a false flag because none of the trump people placed a kalshi bet on it.

I don’t think I can take another news cycle of Democrats solemnly tutting about how violence is never the answer while Republicans promise to put their political enemies and whatever immigrants they can find in a wood chipper

as much as i despise AI, i have to admit that it has made it possible for anyone, no longer just the very wealthy, to be a big adult baby who doesn't know how to interact with normal people and throws a fit whenever they don't get their way

Think about how absolutely empty your brain has to be to think typing, "I want a story. I want it to be for a 6-year-old, and I want it to be about helicopters" is engineering.

"Okay, so it's pretty much UFC, but if you want, you can bring a gun, but also, most people don't." -- this has to happen backstage pretty much every time they do Mortal Kombat, right?

I don't know the exact circumstances of how this quote was generated, but I feel like 99.9999% of Hollywood people weighing in on massive potential capabilities of AI come down to these people not understanding what a logarithmic curve looks like.

It was me!

I only just realized that Trump's attack on Iran is almost an exact counterfactual to the Battle of Thermopylae.
