AP News: Iran’s AI memes are convincing people to overlook their slaughter of thousands of protesters Comments: Hell ya I’m slurping up that AI slop It’s not difficult to oppose this war while not defending Iran. Otherwise you’re no different than Chomsky defending the Cambodian genocide.

This is the only discussion that’s convinced me to step back from a Butlerian Jihad mentality. The thinking machines were the problem. Not machines themselves. But until those who are pushing for LLMs everywhere acknowledge this risk, they only come across as encouraging this gap in thinking.

Nothing drives me crazier than seeing the “I bought this before Elon was crazy” bumper stickers. Anyone who isn’t a naive rube knew that Tesla embraced racial discrimination for almost 10 years. Manufacturing typically has some racists, but most companies will quash it. Tesla defended them.

“if you won’t let us use your product to spy on Americans and kill without supervision we will single-handedly destroy your business by fiat” is the single most authoritarian anti-business action I can ever remember any administration taking

Why don't the people of the Twin Cities just stay home and let DHS do as it pleases? Speaking only for himself, Mike Somes explains that he personally does it because he is an idiot who does it because he failed to realize that all that talk about inalienable rights was an elaborate joke all along.

Okay this little color recreation game is pretty cool, harder than I thought it would be! I consistently made the color way brighter than it should have been despite landing the hue which is giving me lots of thoughts on color perception dialed.gg

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

I would like to know when, why and how the FAA gave up it’s decision-making authority on foreign made aircraft certification & if the president’s authority on this matter now supersedes all others, including those based on flight safety. And I want to hear this from the FAA.

lmao Epstein was banned on Xbox Live

You go to war with the martyrs you have. This is now a pro-Don Lemon propaganda account and he is to be considered an unstoppable ubermensch until such time he is once again a free moron. May death come swiftly to his enemies.

Yeah, that’s how you handle the complexity of aviation regulation - you aim way down low for “good enough”.

They brought back snowmobile for winter x games for the first time in five years since that guy passed and I just witnessed another one it seems

I really dislike this leftie tendency to use all of the horrible crimes this country has committed as proof that the country is irredeemable, when the people who fought against it often did so *as Americans* because it implies they were a bunch of stupid fucking rubes

MLK: *demands that America extend to black people all the promises of America* Bluesky: "Actually, the only promise of America is exploitation and murder." MLK: *deletes Bluesky account*

December Pedestrianized Pike Place Pilot numbers are in, and drum roll please… 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 Sales are up again! (7.1%). Sales at the market have beat expectations every month of the pilot so far. Take a moment of zen and join me this video stroll down the festive street last month.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Posting the words "Lord as my witness I am going to Make Heaven Crowded in Riverside, California on January 21" on social media and instantly the feds are at my door.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

The backfield view of that Caleb Williams 4th-down conversion is outrageous. Look at his body position as he rips that throw!

WHAT. A. GAME. Ole Miss is headed to the #CFBPlayoff semifinals!

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. The USDA didn’t test the theory after a disastrous Midwestern outbreak. Here’s how we did.

Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

i’m not sure how but this is real antipolygraph.org/blog/2025/10...

Every time the shocking, perplexing tactic of “giving money to people who need it” is tried, it turns out to work. And yet people who have more money than they could ever need remain baffled.

When the Bills had to have it…

Wait uh if you watch through to the end of the clip THEY TRIED TO BUY TACOS FROM A SHOP WHERE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY KIDNAPPED A WORKER, WHO IS STILL DETAINED

listening to @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social & I fully believe @edsbs.bsky.social could make a canine army with whipped cream and a song because my dog got a bully stick from a golf cart security guy ONCE and now she thinks golf carts produce treats at will

What a cowardly decision by Matt Rhule. Your kicker doesn’t have the leg to kick a 52 yard field goal, USC hasn’t been moving the ball well (except this drive) and you don’t go for it on 4th and 1?

How do you do, fellow youths?

It’s like if peak Mike Tyson went into ring 100% convinced God would forgive him if he killed his opponent.

Aside from shattering core state sovereignty, it's saying one state's Guard (TX) is somehow more loyal to the national authority than another's (IL). It's treating the latter as something bordering on hostile, or at least alien. One part of the country and its soldiers are more America than another.

Nearly 10% of humanity (~800M people in 2025) struggles to live on less than $3 a day. It’s important for Americans to appreciate that reality — and the growing gap between the extremely poor & the extremely privileged — because, as USAID demonstrated, our nation has the power to change it. 🧵 1/8
