Judas Iscariot was paid 30 pieces of silver for turning Jesus Christ in to the Roman authorities. But he made nearly 10 times that amount by placing a Polymarket bet accurately predicting the day of Christ’s death.

so they're teaching them how to ask questions and not check the answers?

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

Reactionary centrists and republicans spent years smearing, belittling, or dismissing anyone who properly described the Trumpism as a white supremacist project. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...

No they didn't

Astronauts up there being relatable af

Three of the four Artemis astronauts are dads, so I live in hope that tomorrow, right before they swing back around to earth to pick up velocity for the lunar pass, one of them will go "Oh, shit," pat his pockets, and say "I left my keys. We gotta turn around."

So, unfortunately, I have a lot of experience with loved ones with cognitive decline. This is what people with cognitive decline sound like at 9 pm.

He sounds 106 years old.

President Trump announces to the nation and the world that he does not in fact have a plan.

That was terrible speech in every conceivable way.

His question about the language difference from the 14 A "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" vs the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which says not subject to any foreign power indicates he's not down with this nonsense either. But he could be swayed by a 12 pack of Coors

they're calling it the most stupid hegemonic decline of all time

Sauer just had to say that slaves had an "intent to remain" in the US. Motherfucker WHAT??

Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.

IF Trump is actually there, and awake, my official analysis, 57 minutes in, is that the justices DO NOT CARE. I have heard nothing, *nothing* that indicates the justices have taken one iota of notice that the glaring baby man is in the courtroom.

it's a shame there's no cameras in the Supreme Court because there's a 100 percent chance Trump is sleeping right now

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

Trans folks don’t need the opinion of this old guy, but you are all important. You are all vital. You are all loved. You’ve all taught me a lot and I am forever grateful. Trans rights ARE human rights

I don't think people want a day of recognition as much as they want equal participation in public life

Trump's rambling press conference raises new questions about Joe Biden's mental state.

The thing about AI is that I understand there are tasks you would like technology to do for you, makes all the sense in the world, but I have no idea why any of those tasks would be “write a book” or “perform a song” or “act in a movie” or a lot of the rest of this shit

Translation: Trump is bluffing and backing down.

My gas and groceries are up 40%, my health insurance is up 50%, and the president is covering up an elite pedophilia ring. But at least there won't be trans athletes competing in a 2028 Olympic sport that I won't be watching.

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

can someone who does military history tell me if the side that raises its recruiting age to admit old stoners is usually the side that's winning

Current state of my back - more spineless than Chuck Schumer

Solar and wind being 'intermittent' resources is not a real problem.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

I cannot stress enough how these are PTA moms and soccer coach dads and I can best describe the vibe as “festively bloodthirsty”

this photo is fake fyi! feel free to block the acct if they don't take it down (people in the comments are tagging them in to let them know)

They're setting up Vance to run as the anti-war candidate in 2028 and the stupidest people you know are all going to fall for it.

These bigots keep on telling me to Imagine Dragons You assholes! I have aphantasia! I can’t imagine shit!!!

is it good for the president of the united states to be revealing tactical military knowledge or the lack thereof

A legit possibility that if Iran could send Trump a big golden trophy, big new Middle Eastern Peace Award, he'd settle with them for whatever terms they offered.

move slow and repair things

While I find Rowling’s views abhorrent, I’m not going to shame people for still feeling an attachment to Harry Potter. We have to remember how important those books were to a generation of kids as their gateway to Satanism.

There was never a mask. I don't understand people pretending that a single lie was told about what these racists wanted to do.

"It turns out when you try to serve slop on a product people pay for, no one wants it." This is a really good breakdown of what the OpenAI Sora shutdown, and collapsing Disney deal, means for Hollywood and AI www.404media.co/disneys-open...

the fact that it’s a strategic and tactical disaster has really distracted from the fact that this war is a criminal and immoral act of aggression that must be opposed

Oh no not Sora! Whatever shall we do?! Here I thought this technology was ‘inevitable’ and we are ‘simply going to have to adapt’ if we ‘don’t want to get left behind.’

those aren't good people then. they're cowardly collaborators.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

"Claude can now control your computer" yeah we used to call that malware

Fun fact: The time between the Thong Song and today is about the same as between the 1973 Oil Crisis and the Thong Song.

I hate how stupid everything is.

we have reached the “this is Trump’s fault, personally, please don’t yell at us” stage already things are going great

Airports= practice for polling places Everyone knows this.
