it's a high-gullibility society that will buy any sort of snake oil to put women and nonwhites -- Black people especially -- back into their place. RETVRN to prewar norms. (which war? good question.) AI promises to do that. Trump promises to do that. different heads, same goddam hydra.

I just saw someone yell at NPR "Stop telling us the problem and start advocating the solutions" and I feel like that captures the moment's inability to respond to journalism. I am also willing to eat the whole of my hat if this individual pays for any news.

Also I think what they're doing is trying to redefine vice as masculine-coded because that's all Paxton has to offer. Sure he's as charismatic as a tree stump but he lies, cheats and steals and that's alpha.

I’d *love* to see splashy profiles of reporters who spend their days (and nights) where AI can’t go — the ones who haunt the court clerk’s office or the state house, who always have the police scanner on, who attend more school board meetings than the board members do.

SARTRE [earnestly lecturing the Seven Dwarfs] Non! J'insiste ... you *must* consider ze lessons of ze Greek myth. HAPPY: I think I speak for all of us, Jean-Paul, when I say, we're really more Northern European mythic tradition dudes ... SARTRE: Non! You *must* imagine Sisyphus, Happy.

my favorite erick erickson moment is when he said that his family refused to eat asian food on the anniversary of pearl harbor to honor the tragedy. a reporter reached out to his mom to confirm whether this was true and she was like “i don’t know what the fuck he is talking about”

"What a tool cynicism is to the corrupt, claiming the whole of creation is broken and fraudulent, and thus we are all excused to indulge in whatever sins we wish - for what's a little more unfairness, in this unfair world?" Oof @robertjbennett.bsky.social captured our current moment in Tainted Cup

The summer before 5th grade I powered through a paperback novel about a Soviet citizen reading illicit issues of Life magazine for no other reason than I needed a book for the annual mission meeting my parents dragged me to and it has stayed lodged in my brain ever since. Let kids read weird shit.

idk why everyone is complaining, i think it's cool that they are building the ship from CONTACT (1997) on the white house lawn. the liberal media says it won't work again but they are IGNORING that approximately 18 hours of static was recorded on that fateful day. explain THAT

While Trump Derangement Syndrome was just a lazy coopting of Obama Derangement Syndrome which was itself a polite euphemism for "racism," I do think there might be a verifiable Trump Depression Syndrome.

You're not actually arguing that many people are secretly using AI, you're arguing that there's an alternate world in which you won't be judged for your choices, so you don't have to feel bad.

That is not where I was expecting

I'm more and more terrified at how quickly boomers and geriatrics are to adopt and rely on AI apps for everything. I sell hiking shoes at my day job. So many people come through here either to buy a boot AI recommended, or worse, STAND IN FRONT OF ME and ask GPT what to buy.
