does ritchie torres think he did *well* on the adam friedland show? lmao

I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it (either out of self-preservation or the distractions inherent in our cursed information environment) but man: It’s humiliating to live in the hegemon that built the current global order as a bunch of illiterate pissbabies smash it to pieces.

"this city is a monument to man's arrogance" but for Southern California instead

They don't want real help. Real help means education, retraining, welfare, or moving somewhere else. It means acknowledging society's progress. They want someone who will turn back time. Trump promised that and they were dumb enough to think he could deliver.

Anyone that actually cares about harm reduction would be advocating for car helmets, where far more head injuries occur

Don't make us tap the sign.

“OBAA glamorises leftist politics and political violence”—Does it? Is that what it does? Because I’m on the left and a lot of that stuff didn’t seem very glamorous to me. Is it glamorous to you? That’s interesting. Maybe you should examine that. But no, why bother. After all, you’re already right.

Who was president in 2020? Remains the defining question of our era.

yeah I built an AI that hangs out on your porch and drinks a six pack for you so you can write regexes at work

It's really odd that Hasan Piker inspires people of many stripes to just flat out lie about him to try to get in some kind of self-aggrandizing own on a leftist

the guy who caught cal raleigh’s homer was wearing a shirt that said dump 61 here and he immediately took it off and had a shirt that said dump 62 here

Man I’m in like the top 0.1% of Americans for, like, quantitative financial modeling and the idea of having to do some kind of actuarial underwriting of my expected healthcare expenses to buy a plan strikes me as such an insane way to run a system (no shade on OP for the great thread, to be clear)

It's open enrollment time so here's a convenient peg to hang a little tutorial about how to choose your health insurance. Most of the advice you get is bad. Most of your instincts are bad. I however used to work for a health insurance company and I do arithmetic for a living so I can help.

Hide the existence of your identical twin for decades so you can do a stage magic act in which it seems like you teleported.

(guy about to invent the wedge salad) i ain't taking all those leaves apart

Jane Goodall is survived by one son. Paternity testing has revealed he shares 98% of his DNA with a chimpanzee.

YODA: circumcised are you ME: That's a private matter, Yoda. YODA: absent of skin a jedi must be ME: Not interested. Go away, Yoda. YODA: take off your shorts you must YODA: show it to me you will YODA: going where are you YODA: your penis I must see YODA: cut your long pink pipe must be YODA: mmMm

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.

yeag

BTW the reason there aren’t actually any consistently right wing AI models really is more or less because the right wing is wrong and they aren’t going to be able to fix this overall.

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

Yeah I have a phd in biology and this is the dumbest shit I've ever read

THE MEME IS REAL

You do not under any circumstances "gotta hand it" to Bama but that was not targeting

I have it as about 1/4 of a second.

So many papers are clearly written to sex up impact and claim translatability, at the expense of accuracy - that's a gift to pseudoscience. We need to be training the next generation of scientists to be honest and media literate.

Shitting out my flaming battery under a 2004 Honda in the Costco parking lot and taking a waymo home and coming back to my unscathed 350,000 dollar 2026 Range Rover two days later like nothing happened

Finished silksong with 90% completion. 6/10. Devs got too high on their own supply and focused far too much on challenge.

yep

Easily the best cokelike

who was President from 1 Jan 20 until 20 Jan 21 continues to be the defining political question of our time

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year: “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

Seen people wondering why so many major institutions are prostrating themselves before Trump and maybe this is obvious but it's because the incentives for cowardice are immediate and obvious while the disincentives aren't. All they lose is their dignity and you can't pay the bills with that anyway

The only way to heal America is to award the presidential medal of freedom to the food scientist who invented the Hint of Lime Tortilla chip.

Does half of the NYPD need to be Mamdani voters too, or is this a thing that will only bind institutions to ensure conservative representation everywhere they want while putting no similar burden on conservative institutions?

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

go Birds

this is the only rational, logic-based way to reorganize the MLB

The "radical right" is responsible for two thirds of all deadly acts of "political violence" in the United States according to the right wing's very own Cato Institute.

also it’s bleakly funny that these guys still can’t believe that the majority of americans hate their fucking guts, and so they’re just ripping the wiring out of everything looking for the button that turns off liberalism. the longer they go without finding it the more insane they get.

At long last, we are going to do a Sicario from the hit movie Don’t do Sicario

anyone who doesn't buy all the video games i direct will be at a cognitive, social, and spiritual disadvantage (they will go to hell).

If this counts as “not looking too bad” the EU is gonna be run by the Poles before 2035

Guy who sells doo doo (squinting wisely and doing visionary voice): We believe within 10 years the world economy will be almost completely powered by doo doo
