Nikola jokic is not a human.

The faction of the the left that lives for harassment is just slamming Matt for this, but he’s correct and this has been considered for years a major cause of the recent homelessness spike. Watching people maliciously misread his very short tweet and call him a “Nazi” is something else.

similarly you also can't make companies go back to thinking they can scale their way to profitability so they should bribe you into their ecosystem with artificially cheap offerings

The only way to get prices to go down across the economy is to cause a Great Depression level economic calamity. Deflation is really, really, really bad. bsky.app/profile/tmbh...

Like something that nobody on this website wants to acknowledge, certainly including myself, is that JKR is going to be considered a seminal figure in the 'sorting people into what kind of ninja turtle they would be' genre.

lot of things being said today but what it all boils down to is that trump is a total lunatic. a literal raving madman.

This seems logical but Dems solved* the whole problem of old-age health care costs in the mid-1960s and then they lost five of the next six presidential elections because by 1968 it was a solved problem and no one cared about it. *Yes oversimplifying here and the rest of course.

Absolutely staggering to consider the deadweight loss that AI has caused educators in terms of burdening them by making cheating easier, and how little our society's elites care

I mean yes, that's because when people say they miss Blockbuster Video, what they mean is that they miss when you could be basically "in tune with the culture" in a meaningful sense by going to a place where you could consume stuff others considered their culture

90% of internet himbo appreciation can be traced back to Kronk.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there. “I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

The poem is about having to make a choice between two basically indistinguishable, exclusive options, and how later in life, we will mythologize ourselves as having charted our own path, when really that’s not what happened at all.

Actually even more wild that it's usually paired with Sephiroth posting "The time has come for Democrats to recognize their obsolescence & bend the knee to their moral, strategic, & intellectual superiors, but first can they help us with our crank problem? We don't know how to get rid of them!"

It's genuinely wild that the actual pitch for the DSA (from DSA members!) is "The DSA is a garbage org that's overrun by cranks & wreckers, & you should join so *maybe* we fix that."

In LESS THAN A CALENDAR YEAR these absolute cretins figured out, oh yeah, Donald Trump is old and maybe not a magical send-it-back-to-2019 switch we can flip and I personally loathe the shit out of them for it. Thermostatic public idiocy more like

Anti-Catholicism is everywhere in the Evangelical scene. A friend was just telling me that her father talks about the Pope controlling a pedo cabal, which has a real 'never read up on the Southern Baptist Scandal' energy

I would be a lot less concerned about AI if it were open source and able to run easily on consumer hardware.

Fisherman pull Will out of Lake Superior. He has no memory of who he is. He trips, but surprisingly catches himself in a somersault. When he stands up he is somehow holding both fisherman’s phones. His thumbs furiously tapping. He is logged in. He is posting.

the loop between "holy shit, AI can do <X> now, that's amazing, how did it even do that" and "I never want to see another <X> as long as I live" is just very tight

I find this sort of messaging so much better than insisting that the USA is somehow poor in aggregate.

Trump is gonna demand the Republican Party renames itself the Trumplican party within a week and they’re gonna do it

Remember, it's year one, and things are only going to get worse for them from here. bsky.app/profile/whst...

A lot of people seem to believe this but it’s not true at all: Hochul endorsed him, the DNC was fully supportive, even Jeffries endorsed him in the end

I'm a zoomer (just an old one) and like 90% of my peers unironically believe a middle class income used to be 2 cars, 5 kids, 1 father employed, international vacation every year. They get super mad when I point out that most people wouldn't even fly domestically back in the 1950s.

The world will not snap back to normal after Democrats win an election. How do I know? Because they won in 2020 and the world only continued to go more floridly insane. We need to address the root cause of the insanity, which is the complete epistemological collapse we are living through.

It’s funny because these people will say “I bet you’ve never met a person making less than six figures, you trust fund baby!” and then turn around and complain about how 136k is barely scraping by. Telling on yourselves

The thing about Trump saying it’s fine for Mamdani to call him a fascist is that he genuinely thinks all of this is kayfabe, just as he could insult Rubio or Cruz but still work with them. It’s not possible for him to imagine other people being sincere about anything.

Populism should be obliterated not channeled

Not the best second quarter for the nuggets but we’ll be fine

Zohran, like sanders, is at risk of being dragged down by the people he surrounds himself with. bsky.app/profile/nute...

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

If anybody saw that extremely long reply exchange I just got out of I’m actually sorry, that was pretty pointless and none of the reactions were even funny. Win some lose some.

In the grand scheme of things, this meeting was Tremendous Content, and like most Tremendous Content, it's Coke Zero politics. Mamdani comes out way ahead, Trump made a fool of his viziers and his strongest soldiers, and none of this will matter next week.

yeah no, that’s not what you said actually

Everyone on here intuitively understands that hanging out with a bunch of Nazis on Twitter creates a powerful social pressure to accommodate yourself to far-right views, but then refuses to acknowledge that largely the same dynamic also exists on here with regard to some pretty nutty fringe leftists

while we’re on the topic, a more diverse workforce for prison guards probably would make prisons better

There is a very specific subset who are clearly looking for self harm but don't want to pull the trigger themselves

Hitler and FDR were equally bad because they were both Capitalist I am definitely opposing fascism by pushing propaganda equating literal nazis as being no worse than liberals who support gay marriage and not being a useful idiot for rightwingers

I think it's possible for us to have a world where we all live in harmony, where everybody prospers, and where we work together. But, frankly, if that were impossible, and the only way to fix the world would be to destroy the lives of everybody I love? IDK If I'd make the moral decision there!

Okay I'm gonna stop tweeting any replies to the Starfish thing because I can feel my blood pressure raising, but I actually think I can channel some of this rage into a substack post, maybe.

If you don't want the US military to be the world's most lethal and effective military I unironically would suggest getting the fuck out of the country. Go someplace you can actually support. Leave. bsky.app/profile/paro...

This tweet isn't being answered because this guy and everybody like him legitimately prefers a Trump presidency to a Harris one. It's been super fucking obvious for years. bsky.app/profile/bryc...

The only person who knew Charlie Kirk and is genuinely sad he's dead is Candace Owens. every other person in his life immediately started scheming. It's actually fucking depressing to think about.

One place where I seem to differ from a lot of the broadly online lib conversation is that I would much rather tax and redistribute than do weird shit with regulations. Just hose the rich and give the poor money, we don't need to pass a law mandating headphone jacks on phones or whatever

this tawdry Olivia Nuzzi stuff highlights why I’m turning into a small-c conservative with regards to “it is unseemly and shameful for people in positions of power and influence to subject the public to their messy-ass sex nonsense on a constant basis”

People are just way too eager to make excuses for antisemitism man. It's fucking depressing.
