Tension apprehension and dissension have begun

LET'S GOOOO

Cis journos who fancy themselves our allies - one of the best things you could do right now is push some human interest stories about trans people like this into the mainstream.

the reason he wants to bomb iran is because its penis to bomb things and vagina to be against bombing things, i know its stupid but it really is that simple

Yesterday Cory Doctorow argued that refusal to use LLMs was mere "neoliberal purity culture". I think his argument is a strawman, doesn't align with his own actions and delegitimizes important political actions we need to make in order to build a better cyberphysical world.

There is a point in this completely unhinged story when the only reaction is

if anyone is tempted to briefly hand it to John Roberts remember that he is about to finish his life’s work of destroying the Voting Rights Act and save yourself the trouble

Will scotus refund me the $70 tariff I just spent yesterday

Amazon’s alex cross series is pandering to me specifically by casting Matthew Lillard and Wes Chatham

When someone only played NES Ghosts n Goblins so you put them onto the Arcade version

Les Wexner's attorney during the House Oversight Committee deposition on Epstein: "I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words."

love to be reminded that bari weiss thinks this guy is an intellectual

That time I made a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure attachment for my fan.

There should be a bonus medal for dropping a perfect f-bomb faster than the NBC censors can catch it

Thanks to everyone who said "You should watch The Expanse," this stuff is evergreen

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

nobody in the world is as good at making me want to buy a game as Quinns www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLrr...

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

things are good if you're ontologically good and bad if you're bad and if the system isn't working it's your fault anyway

a constant scooby-doo unmasking meme for every piece of garbage pop psychology of the last fifty years and it's just calvinism under a shitty mask

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

if someone is saying shit like "it's lowkey biphobic that you support AOC even though she won't legalize cannibalism" or "you realize that expecting your room to have windows a luxury belief right" what you're seeing are the charged particles being shot off from polycule fission

this website is a machine for surfacing extremely rarefied internecine beef from toxic friend groups and you need to be able to recognize when it's happening and avert your gaze

taking the "100 bean challenge" where you eat 100 progressively larger beans

also one of my favorite “drop in for one scene and absolutely kill it” performances, as kelso in “heat”

"the left is ignoring the usefulness of AI" no it's more like it is kind of central to left leaning politics that causing massive negative externalities for your own personal convenience is a shitty way to live. you're just saying you do not like the implications of this position

hoo boy do a lot of the replies in this thread sure confirm how much some folks really do hate fat people (such as me, taking a glp-1 and still fat)

I don't need a new laptop but I'm strongly considering buying one just as a hedge against what ram prices are going to look like in a year

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

chat is it good when your AI-obsessed colleague drops a +16,105 -193 pull request with 102 commits all titled “wip: implement next task” and asks that it be immediately approved for next release

well this is officially the stupidest set of numbers i've seen from the Bazaar:

This estate tax cut just passed 38-11.

“None of our articles are Al-generated” which is why I ran this one through two different LLMs and hit publish 🙃

we're in the final stretch of our two-day marathon to support WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. watching and sharing and donating is one small way you can say fuck ICE, especially on the evil President's Day. Fuck Presidents and fuck ICE and fuck all cops everywhere.

Shoutout to the guy at the store buying ice cream and bleach

I have often felt extremely cynical about the idea that "food brings people together." this dinner felt like a very informational stress test of it.

four-second dooltron, pretty good

if you care about winning elections, your bosses fucked up. the fault is theirs, for fucking up. the fault is not with the left for pointing out they were fucking up ahead of time

the democrats deliberately boosted the candidacy of donald trump and ran status-quo empty suits against him and those brilliant strategies got the US two trump terms. a few oddly still have the audacity to blame the left for their lack of enthusiasm in cheering on these obviously awful plans

Trump wasn’t a glitch in American politics. He’s a symptom, not the disease. He figured out that there’s about a 40% base of voters that supports white supremacy, add anti-LGBT backlash + tax cuts and you’re near 50%. The masks are off. They’re not going back on.

“I completely solved physics”

looking at the generative ai industry and wondering what the last fifty years would have been like if someone had given every c-suite dope a copy of ELIZA

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9
