If you ever get the chance to meet Peter Thiel in person for some God forsaken reason, be sure to shake his hand and whisper "God will not forgive you for your sins" into his ear and then pretend like you didn't say anything.

I wonder what particular activity is the world leader in polluting the world. There couldn't possibly be any connection between American military power and global warming! Right? RIGHT??

If you know anything about Ohio or Ohio adjacent politics you also know that it's particularly incoherent here. I know of at least 3 houses within 30 minutes from my place that have both gadsden and progress pride flags

Posthumous Mormon baptisms but for woke transgenderization of historical figures and poet shut ins/freaks

It's hard for me to not also look at the recent IL-09 results and see how a guy accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student is descendant from the same misogynistic inclination that enabled this absolutely horrific story.

Turns out it didn't have legs

Slay the spire 2 has been really cool and I gotta say the foul potions merchant event interactions is one of my favorite things I've seen in the game so far. The game is so impressive.

Every time I accidentally open threads via Facebook or Instagram scrolling it's some shit like "me and my mom need cock right now" and I am reminded just how much of a wasteland it is out there

The comments of videos about AI (regardless of if the video is critical or not) are full of shit like this

It's difficult to impugn people for their suicidality when living within a state that is itself suicidal. Living is worthwhile and also the complete immiseration of the American lower castes will continue to death spiral towards oblivion.

*BREAKING*: KRISTI NOEM EXECUTED BY FIRING SQUAD. WHITE HATS IN CONTROL. EXODUS 14:14

I've been having some informal polling conversations with engineers I work with to get an idea of how they believe LLMs have affected their day to day work and one of the most interesting outcomes of that has been seeing them explain that they have learned to verbalize the product.

Hm well....-. *pushes glasses up* actually I can write code much faster and *donning my clown makeup* it's gonna change the WHOLE World. Software has certainly gotten better since Claude was introduced. I Am Very Smart.

This Newsweek article is a thinly (barely) veiled reason to complain about "The Left", trans people and how sports is evidently not right wing enough and of course it also is a callback to that dogshit Ezra Klein piece.

Thinking about people with dog rights @birdrespecter.bsky.social

Geoff Keighley: He's there *Bass boosted 240p audio* BADA BAH BAH BAAAAHHHH

They've really been putting in the work this year to emphasize the P (Pedophile) in GOP.

From Oct. 2033: Totally exonerated, no wrongdoing on Leslie Wexner.

look the shit machine might be filling the world with shit, but it's allowed me to shit so much. look at all this stinky poo i've been able to poo. this poo wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the shit machine. who cares about ethics or the environment look at my peepee poopoo

If you're a developer and your solution for data storage is to dump each and every JSON for every microservice that you interact with into one table I hate you and you need to be sent to the database re-education camp

Leftist theory discourse is perhaps the most annoying in part because while I think it's valuable to learn from history/the past struggles, it's also important to recognize that shit didn't work/was not sufficiently durable and we need new ideas. Lenin and Mao failed sorry dawg.

Intro'd my husband to deadlock last night and did not realize how difficult it is to explain the concept of a MOBA to someone who has never played one before. There's like 100 different feature concepts that are fundamental to the totality of the game

Did they arrest the horse too

I bristle whenever I see libposting like this as if it's funny or an own/uno reverse card like. No? I don't think the democrats should be like "yeah we ARE gonna strip people of citizenship!!" even if you don't like them.

Finished "If I had legs I'd kick you" which I decided to watch on a whim in perhaps the best/worst time to watch it in that I'm taking care of my spouse post surgery while staying with his SIL who currently has a newborn child

Fuck the Artists

I have a bit of a hard time empathizing with content creators complaining about the process of their jobs when the average call center worker or service job has 100,000x the extant risks and horrors without any of the self-directed control and often without any additional benefits

The year is 2028 and Indiana has been converted into an unfinished, gas-powered data center. The president has been entombed inside the Golden Throne and requires the sacrifice of 10,000 children a day to continue funding extrajudicial executions. Datianapolis has been firebombed by the IRA–

2026 is the year of the POG . . . . . . . . (Pedophile Occupied Government)

*opens rage against the machine* *looks inside* >rage against the machine Wow what the fuck. Fuck this.

I took a week off work to focus on doing stuff around the house (cook, clean, laundry) that has languished and it's frustrating to realize I do actually enjoy doing this shit, it's just that I never have the time or energy when torturing myself in the email mines.

I'm sorry I can't stop thinking "all democrats know how to do is fund police, do means test and lie" on repeat now

Ella purnell is so beautiful and also she looks like if she stared at you hard enough your head would explode

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Whoever decided this is a good and valuable push notification from mobile Adobe acrobat reader should be put into The Machine

I'll give Valve credit for knowing exactly how to foster interest through character design with how deadlock has been progressing:

I love when the world's most annoying "leftists" tell me that I don't care about disability because I am OK with discriminating against old politicians to prevent them from being entrenched in office until they die. It's like I'm back on old Twitter again.

If you're conflating age related disabilities with non age related disabilities to concern troll about a political candidate, you are at best a useful idiot. Of course I'm interested in disability, I'm fucking disabled, asshole.

This is a material problem that literally happened with trumps bill. Dumbass concern trolling about bigotry against the gerontocracy is embarrassing. www.thedailybeast.com/three-democr...

If someone is liable to die in office because they are far above the average retirement age, vacating their seat and potentially putting a vote at risk because of their death, I think it's reasonable to want people who are less likely to die to represent us.

If you believe that disability correlated to aging is the same as disability not correlated to aging when it comes to someone's fitness for office I think you're kind of a pedantic and annoying idiot, at best. Criticizing anti-gerontocracy as bigotry is disingenuous and very lib-brained.

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

Not to psychoanalyse overly much or anything but I think people underestimate the powerful yearning for whiteness / proximity to power that right wing minoritized individuals have. Usha is a non-white woman in GOP circles. Presumably, she actively chooses to be there.

Had a very interesting conversation with a self-identified libertarian a couple days ago who talked about how sick he felt with Minnesota law enforcement crackdowns.

they have extracted all the semen from every ice agent who plugged themselves alone in a marriott bathroom and now the president is going to drink it

Of all the bullshit lately, I think Greenland best highlights the need for an entirely new American constitution or, at the very least, a complete restructuring of US "democracy" given how completely pointless all of this saber rattling is.

My new consultancy idea: You want to build agentic solutions. Have you tried building an app that's good instead?

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Really great to see an example of AI misinformation being discussed as this problem continues to grow, I wonder what else Casey Newton has been up to....
