I got that Mog in me, kupo!

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

Grok insists my dissertation adviser was a man I've never met and says my first book won several prizes that don't even exist but I'm sure it'll work out fine to give it access to classified defense systems.

The latest edition of my newsletter is about a subject I've been obsessed with since I was a snot-nosed 20-something telecom beat reporter: The U.S. press simply refuses to acknowledge that widespread corruption at the hands of unchecked corporate power is THE reason for most U.S. dysfunction.

Genocide. Trans Genocide phase 2. This is equivalent to the Nazis going from forcing Jews out of Germany to rounding them up for camps.

So basically they tell us trans people are mentally ill & destroy their bodies while they literally hit their heads with a hammer like a cartoon character loosing their mind?

My spicey, spikey son!

“Sell it to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?” is the most important economic text of any of our lifetimes

Nick Shirley: “30 voters registered at a California UPS store!” 🤔 Paul Mitchell: um, people live above it. Look up, bro. 🙃 As usual this dude’s *reporting* is full of holes

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

So...let me get this straight. They're selling chips that don't exist to data centers that don't exist that will use power plants that don't exist and water that's already scarce so that realtors who are about to be out of the business can post listings for homes that don't exist.

Guys being Dudes

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

Want to diversify your social media feed? Try polyamory! Having half a dozen cuties sending you wildly different Instagram reels on the daily will give you a truly unique algorithm! I'm sure there are other perks as well.

This is almost impossible believe, but it now seems undeniably true: That a serving president of the United States DOES NOT UNDERSTAND what a tariff is. It's like a football player running toward the wrong end zone. You can't believe it's happening, but it is.

"If you seized all Elon's wealth it'd only be like $2,000 per American." Do you know what a $2,000 'Fuck Elon' stimulus check would do for people and the country economically, emotionally and morally?

I must reiterate that the entire Pizzagate/Qanon conspiracy only came about in the first place because of allegations coming out from former Miss Teen pageant contestants, it was literally cooked up to defend a pedophile when news reports of his pedophilia came out, you owe conspiracists squat!

No success will ever be good enough. No legacy will ever matter enough. The only thing the AAA industry cares about is infinite perpetual growth. They will sacrifice anyone and anything to appease their shareholders.

The tech oligarchs pushing AI do not care if you can afford a computer, because they do not truly love the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-hdd...

Talking NC phrases include: "I'm fundraising a game show--what can go wrong?" "No, you can't plug your Patreon." "What is up, my n***as!" "Ooh, a cinnamon roll!" "Your secret's safe with us, Justin." "It's really a love letter to Pink Floyd!" "We sincerely regret you feel that way."

i'm 30 or 40 years old so i'm not really gonna comment on the quality of the film, but it does suck that franchises don't get to end anymore.

an AR-15 costs less than two sticks of RAM. this is a market economy establishing an incentive structure

The New York Times smeared AOC for saying “um”

Incredible timing.

There needs to be legislation against this tech. These aren't mistakes. The oligarchs of this country are pushing a technology that mass manufactures CSAM, destroys the information ecosystem, convinces people to kill themselves, and creates a surveillance state where no one's data is safe.

Some dork really thought they did something here, huh?

no you see i'm a journalist which means i make propaganda. propaganda can't be used on me

They're openly admitting "hey we're boiling the frog slowly and willing to use moron democrats to our advantage to achieve our agenda" and mainstream Dems will respond with "well we do need their votes specifically so... what if we only boil half of the frog"

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Using a gif, who's your favorite female game character?

They invented a prompt machine to replace art but no one can think of a prompt

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

You know, while I’ve never cared for blåhaj I’m just gonna put it bluntly: thinking this way about the trans women who do is transmisogynist Internalize that enough and you end up like Nichole from RCBG So I’m tapping the sign:

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

New model, who dis?

One of the under-stated signs that this is all a bubble and even the players know it is that they’re rushing to build data centres in places that make zero sense if you actually plan on operating a data centre. The Paluxy watershed just does not have the water supply, this is all smash-and-grab.

The BBC reporting on Beth Upton’s current employment situation is definitely not in the public interest, and it is insane how much the British press freely get away with harassing her for the crime of simply living her life existing as a trans person in the UK.

if you’re seeing this it was meant to find you today

they're very sorry they got caught

This is blackout poetry to me

Wait, of all the things, Hasan is getting cancelled for correctly pointing out how Dems abandon trans people? And people are pointing Gavin fucking Newsom of all people as proof of a pro-trans Dem to rebuke him? Man, America really is cooked.

when you realize a youtube channel you're getting into uses an LLM-generated voice
