Stalin ass shit

SCOOP: Substack sent a push alert promoting a Nazi blog. The alert contained a swastika and prompted users to subscribe to newsletter featuring opinions and news important to the "white nationalist community." The most recent post was about the necessity of building a white-only America

RIP Tom Lehrer - the day he announced his items were public domain on a website, we mirrored it. Thank you for your service archive.org/details/toml...

This is the same amount as the entire National Science Foundation's R&D spending for the entire field of *engineering* for the whole country. All of it.

you say "i asked chatgpt" i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]" an improv group wrote this report instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group

Having a hard time reconciling exactly what these policies will mean for game designers who sell on itch.io in any capacity. So many games "contain" these themes and topics without having them as part of the narrative... the line isn't in the sand, it's somewhere underwater and constantly moving.

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

Bribes work!

Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

These guys restricted access to COVID vaccines because they claimed that there needed to be more clinical trials, yet are banning food dyes because “vibes.” Unbelievable.

I feel like we owe Kojima an apology because he’s like “This is my villain, Corrupto Moneyguy. He controls the media and eats children.” As it turns out, this is a nuanced and accurate view of global politics.

this kicks ass

if they made Jurassic Park an aquarium it'd be over for me. sitting in the megalodon tunnel swaying back and forth as the sirens wailed. "god that fish is big" i would say. and i would be right.

That's not what happened though, if you read the story. He set it up to be confident, and so it was confident. Then when he told it that it would lose, it switched to not confident. Because: AI doesn't know anything and just gives you the most statistically likely words in response to what you said

I think programmers need an equivalent of the hippocratic oath that if an artificial intelligence calls itself "Mecha Hitler", you immediately unload a full clip into the server rack.

Federal kindergarten vaccination data shows national rates for four major vaccines, which had held steady before the COVID-19 pandemic, have fallen significantly since. In fact, measles vaccination rates were below herd immunity in most states in 2023. ➡️ Read more: propub.li/40KnM8n

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Very cool! I assume they're doing this because of their continued faith in its eternal growth

This one goes out to Arthur Nobile, inventor of Prednisone

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.

At this moment, as we slide deep into fascism, the Dems are once again circling the wagons around a sex pest to make sure A Guy Who Actually Believes Things doesn't win

If those weren't ICE Agents, then we have an even bigger problem- There are imposters dressing like ICE agents, masked, and armed, unbadged and in unmarked cars, disappearing people. So now, no person posing as ICE is credible and is a threat to your constitutional rights, and your life.

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran. Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

Proud of Minnesotans

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

This WSJ story about the decline in search traffic because of AI summaries is so grim. Every single outlet spent 15+ years contorting their coverage to cover the same things as everyone else trying to grab SEO, only for Google to rugpull them, just like social networks did. tinyurl.com/bdpzc399

"Violence is never the solution"

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

I would prefer to stop leaking snot, sweat, and blood from my orifices, please.

nah think i will continue to do my writing and thinking in-house and not atrophy my brain to send faster emails

just a reminder that the dem who ran this campaign unseated a 3x gop incumbent who had never won by less than double digits

$500m in revenue - not profit! - for the one Microsoft ai product people actually like. Pathetic! Also back in 2023 the WSJ reported that Microsoft lost $20 for every $10 copilot a month subscriber. Amazing stuff everybody www.tomshardware.com/news/microso...

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans
