of COURSE there's a technology the left is excited about

would just like to go on the record that I would much rather see a bad photo or awful photoshop or hastily scribbled drawing to show something rather than even the best AI slop version since a human actually made the former

Now please keep in mind what is being justified under the auspices of fighting “crime” ...

If I were a journalist I would care much more about engagement with my story then about mean replies. There's ample data showing clickthrough rates are higher on BlueSky then X. BlueSky folks love to hate read. This post is essentially just saying the Nazis are nicer to me and that's what matters.

having all that gold shit on when you win: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! having all that gold shit on when you crack: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

racing games were everywhere on the PS2 because they were fuckin cool as hell and fun and took advantage of track-based racing to create bespoke and interesting subversions of arcade and sim racing

Aaron is, as always, correct here

Open borders create more safety than closed ones, and most of the benefits of safety are downriver from being the sort of people who keep their borders open, thereby avoiding the terrible dangers inherent to being the sort of people who would keep their borders closed.

Tech for a living will ALWAYS make me think of this old tweet

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

The men of the NBA get about 40% of total revenue. Women are asking for 27.5% of total revenue. This statement by the WNBA is simply not believable. They need to explain clearly how a share of revenue below anything the men of the NBA have ever received would result in huge losses.

it's supposed to rain two separate times today huh

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

This 1993 Subaru E12 Super Deluxe is powered by a 1.2-liter inline-three mated to a five-speed manual transaxle and a selectable four-wheel-drive system. It's listed now with no reserve on BaT! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-subaru-e12/

bicycles, bitch

i get older and somehow the plumlees all stay the same age

i once played such a bad game of pickup hoops in a pair of shoes I'd never played in before that when the game ended I sat down at midcourt, took them off, and threw them off the court

@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social, the branch manager has competition

oh fine I'll go ride

POKEY IS IN HELL yellow5.com/pokey

i don't know much but I know if a norwegian with a gun is chasing you on skis you're in trouble

tony massenburg, the human business decision, fails to make one when it mattered most

this is downstream of the fact that their reporters are all still on X! they're marinating in fascism! they think it's the air!

Believe me, I realize there's a lot of other stuff going on in the world, but Netflix persisting in promoting fights involving people who have absolutely no business being medically cleared for fights is still gross. www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/m...

tom homan is a bitch

Wow.

I love when somebody has a name that tells you the year, date and hour their parents had sex

Blew my three leg parlay on omenbook, I got calf with the face of a man and a clap of thunder in a clear sky but no fucking two hawks fighting which is crazy because I figured hawks were always fighting

Oh but I thought orange goofball was ending the drug trade by blowing up fishing boats 🤯

thinking about the conversation I had with Jesse Jackson in 2019: "The truth of slavery—that Africans subsidized America’s wealth—that truth will not go away. It’s buried right now, but as each generation becomes much more serious, it will be grappled with." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Rest in peace. The world would have been better if you had somehow become POTUS. My favorite speech by Jesse Jackson: youtu.be/GriU9kw_5u0?...

RIP to the reverend jesse jackson, one of the greatest orators of our or any other time. here's a link to his '84 convention speech. www.c-span.org/clip/public-...

it's long been part of the authoritarian playbook to attempt to destroy accumulated knowledge—I didn't even remember the german army burning the library of louvain, along with the entire town, in WW1—but it's somewhat heartening to remember, despite all of it, knowledge persists

I. AM. SOMEBODY. ✊🏽 Rest in Power, Reverend Jesse Jackson. youtu.be/NTVwT3j_zqY?...

goddamn, sting and them got old

“Lobbyist for private charter schools has big opinions on the need to destroy public education “

The headline doesn't even begin to describe how wildly unethical the background of this story is, which is that the survivor only shared the story with one person- her psychiatrist- who is Kamel Doud's wife

P.J. O’Rourke on Jesse Jackson at the 1988 Democratic National Convention in Atlanta, from Parliament of Whores…

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless
