Grok is not doing anything. Elon Musk and X are allowing people to create CSAM and revenge porn using proprietary software. If Adobe starts churning out kiddie porn with Photoshop, we’re not going to say Photoshop is committing crimes. Adobe and whoever is using their tools are committing crimes.

I had an old post on Twitter about this. The US spends about 18% of its GDP on the social safety net and 3.5% on military. Germany spends about 24-25% of its GDP on the social safety net and 2% on the military. Our military spending is not why they can have nice things or why we don't.

@logitechgaming.bsky.social what brand would you recommend I replace my Logitech G502 HERO mouse with? I like a large mouse with thumb and index finger buttons that actually works when I try to play games in my limited free time, unlike your products

a freely accessible CSAM and revenge porn generator will hundreds of millions of users is also a bit unprecedented

i know genx invented body shots because you get to drink out of the hoes

What an intensely repulsive paragraph. I mean really gut-wrenching stuff. Nauseating

little-flying-robots.ghost.io/rejecting-re... We live in an age where the Internet and LLMs are encouraging ever more people to reject reality entirely. Here's my thoughts on why this is happening, and why the Terminally Online turn amongst the powerful is so dangerous.

at this point baudrillard’s on a run like the ‘95 bulls

Seriously what could possibly be the excuse for not forcing a week’s worth of votes on this? There is none. Let’s start talking about impeachment and moving this already.

Mike Pondsmith really is the GOAT

@logitechgaming.bsky.social hey your stupid GHUB app won’t load on my computer, randomly and after a year of use with no problems, and now I can’t actually use my mouse or microphone features, which is awesome because I spent money on your rickety products for precisely those features. Thanks 👍🏻

Yep. When you start bargaining which percentage of the people you can sacrifice to stave off fascism, you've already lost to fascism.

always missing the “and that’s why I’m going to…” part because our elected leaders are physically disgusted by even the appearance of action

hey @warren.senate.gov do you know anyone in the senate? Might be something here

more seriously, I do genuinely think it was a mistake to go from: 'the project of bureaucratic rationality has at times been poorly implemented in biased ways, we must fix this' to 'the project of bureaucratic rationality is inherently unjust, we must replace it with [worse thing]'

an unending amount of harm originates in this misunderstanding, often intentional, that there is any way an equivalence between personal experience and acquired expertise. The real world is secondary to the artifice we create an share in its place

maybe we should find some cow-eyed geriatrics to represent us who aren’t shameless fad-grifters

my brain shorts out reading this. like why bother caring about anything when you can just skip the reasons normal people care about anything

as a man on Tinder I am beginning to understand that the entire world is totally not stacked in my favor and it has destroyed my mind. I am now a Republican, and I have never voted

you don’t gotta hand it to him but he is right in this case—handful of republicans can change the trajectory of democracy in America very quickly (and this has always been the case)

you guys ever see Looper

discovery is gonna be fun

I do not believe in the death penalty for humans. I do support the death penalty for corporations. When they murder people, let's dissolve them. Break them up, destroy their technology, nationalize their assets. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

"Hoarfrost" is such a rude word. Call it "frost worker" or "frost fatale."

“AND THATS WHY I’M GOING TO….” @liccardo.house.gov hey cool that you’re posting and whatnot but you’re one of the most powerful people in the world and you’re completely neglecting your responsibility to the American people and your constituents. Just pathetic, boot-licking behavior

imagining a conversation between Steve Rogers and Smedley Butler

m.youtube.com/watch?v=tnvb... Cuckoo catfish are endemic to Lake Tanganyika, but they are able to exploit all mouthbrooding cichlids like they try in my video. This NatGeo video shows this behavior nicely with a parasitized Shuja horei, a Tanganyika endemic cichlid. 🐟🧪

we’re now centralizing other economies too, that’s nice

tailgating me on the highway and flashing your headlights is the easiest way for me to hit cruise control and pace the semi truck next to me for a few miles

American lives are more equal than foreign lives

something tells me more than a few countries could successfully execute a smash-and-grab operation on Trump with how rickety security seems to be these days, national or otherwise. there’s no way Mar-a-Lago is like, hardened

Love seeing nuclear powers kowtowing to an idiot geriatric for no reason beyond their own colonial and racist tendencies

@blizzard.com y’all wanna tell us when TBC is actually going to be released so we can plan to play your game, or are we just doing vibes and silence now that Microsoft runs the show? Don’t answer the second question I’m highly invested in lying to myself about the moral quality of your business

nobody in Congress posting statements about Venezuela has yet to make a recommendation about how to proceed. Nothing about impeachment, no calls to action. A total failure of representation and governance. It’s all a game. Dems shuffle pieces around on the board until the media spotlight changes.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social or the idiot mark running his social media accounts: do you seriously not understand what a call to action is? Or is releasing flimsy statements on letterhead an appropriate use of the power vested in you by the American people—your constituents?

Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

Wow a politician with a camera crew, what a novel concept! Imagine if we got people in Congress this technology!

We have sooooooo much work to do on our insane legal system, of at least the people involved in granting those qualifications. This shouldn’t be a thing at all, yet here we are

fucking liberals are beyond useless

Borscht Belt comic: Boy I tell ya, the manufacturing economy in the United States sure is dead. Audience: How dead is it? Borscht Belt comic: Why, these days they don't even bother to manufacture consent! *rim shot* (Comic is dragged off-stage by a big hook, deported to a black site)

one problem with learning is it will make you so angry at how stupid everything is

it’s all a show for president grandpa

can’t stop here, this is clown country

There are only five words that should fall from your mouth, @wyden.senate.gov: “impeach, convict, remove” or “I resign.”

every Democrat in power or a position of visibility should be personally leading this chant everywhere physically possible until Trump dies or is put into a tiny, sunless hole

Cuba has a vaccine for lung cancer

@moulton.house.gov you’re a dumb fucking mark

I love how I have to give a fucking fecal sample and drive around the building at every fast food restaurant now, it’s so awesome
