gamers nexus was only slightly on my radar before their tariff coverage, but ever since then they've had my full attention. just an incredible output lately

And she misspelled “principals”

I think you should see this. Chess is a game with rules and centuries of documented strategy. It's systemic. AI still cannot *play* this game. Not even talking about "good strategy." It cannot perform by the ruleset! Why should AI usage be a requirement for academics? youtu.be/YlMWZNx93G4?...

Saw avatar last night. Like the last one, it had the cheese factor, but... you watch it because it's James Cameron. And he delivers. There's something to say about: 1) doing a superhero style cgi/3d movie meticulously unlike the slop from the marvel/starwars industrial complex.

So now that they've "released" the files as a joke is there a mechanism to actually release these files? Or is this done?

Everyone should take a couple of minutes and watch this, because it's a perfect illustration of how ICE disappears people by making it almost impossible to communicate with family, friends, and lawyers.

Protest is non-threatening to the regime because they have never relied on popular support.

Look a lot of people were at the Lucifer Foundation's annual Billionaire Vision Brunch in 2011. I didn't talk to all of them. Some of us just find the work the Lucifer Foundation does to be interesting.

I took my friend with only a high school degree to a fancy party and saw his face freeze up at the terminology being used by the elite. “Hebephile?” “Ephebophile?” I quickly asked him if he wanted to go somewhere else and he anxiously nodded yes and so we went to a Trump rally. By David Brooks

Why do I have to ask if this stuff is AI all the time. Obviously this is the Hunger Games, but also, these people are stupid and cruel enough to either "stumble upon" doing the hunger games or just doing it outright. So is someone making fun of them? Or are they seriously this stupid and unaware?

Three Democrats joined republicans to pass a bill that criminalized gender affirming care for minors. It passed 216-211. If those democrats had stayed with their party the bill would have failed 213-214.

My favorite interaction on here

the Grateful Dead Fandom to parasitic rentier class pipeline

Someone please remix that earthshattering smack. It was amazing.

War with Venezuela tonigh as a distraction from epstein on Friday

The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.

Live event but it turns out he's not sleeping.

Really? JFC.

What's fueling the "is it happening?" discourse today? Is it happening?

I think the best way to explain it is: 1) the site is run by a nazi who sucks and forces his profile on everyone. 2) the people paying to be prioritized that we have to read 1st are uninteresting, witless, and bad 3) the advertisements are horrible 4) the site didn't work often 5) nazis. Full of 'em

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Globe is run by rich perverts. Billionaires are just like old perv monarchy but without loyalty to land mass.👹👹👹👹👹

I think something under-commented on in discourse about china is not only the scale of contemporary development, but also the starting point of that development -- this is what chongqing looked like in the 1940s, certainly less developed than a comparable US city of its population at that time

In a fitting display of symbolism, the Joe Biden Presidential Library will be a speedbump outside the parking lot for the Donald Trump Presidential Library.

Excellent piece. The age of vibes based lifestyle liberalism has to end. Only 3 things matter with any candidate: track record, policy and who pays them. open.substack.com/pub/quartzev...

Both parties uphold a policy that if you're connected you don't have to bear any negative consequences for your actions. Ever.

i know more about world than anyone. they tried to say mister emperor we have the 100 worlds of ultramar and i said get the hell out of here - 300, 400, 500 worlds of ultramar. 500 worlds! that's a beautiful amount of worlds. ten millennia ago we were a dead empire and now were the galaxys hottest

It could've happened. It might happen. One day, it will definitely happen. He's at the stage where we should always have some champagne on ice (or whatever your preferred beverage for celebrating might be) because it could come at any moment

John Fetterman looks like something the Flintstones would use to cut grass.

let your opps be your mops in the janitorial closet of triumph

When Hunter S. Thompson ran for sheriff of Aspen — this will always be one of my favorite political anecdotes

It's nice to know the minor inconvenience of air travel delays during a government shutdown was enough to cut off Healthcare. Thank you John Fuckerman et Al. Thank you Fuck Schumer. Thank you Democrats. And of course, fuck you Republicans... who at their core hate us (more) and have no opposition.

Why is she dressed like a jedi Padawan? Or ninja turtle foot clan?

Close enough

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar

Head of "trust and safety". Also somebody who lives without borders because he's in a chosen class.

Watched a bit of this Beastie Boys concert last night with Mix Master Mike. First thing, absolutely impeccable performance. Like... not one dropped bar or word. 2nd, just "foot on neck" "pedal to floor" energy. They do not let up. 3rd, Mix Master Mike is the Neil Peart of turntables. Scientific.

Quick follow up here on when its ok to "break the rules" for a good outcome: *healing* people on Sunday vs *extrajudicial murder*. Can you please expound upon this?

bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok

Within 2.5 months since insurance sign-up, I've received 60 pieces of mail. In one mail they said "you will renew with no changes" and then another mail *increased everything from deductible to copay*. Same plan name! Why would anyone have faith in a system that confuses and inundates like that?
