Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them.

We were coming up with perfectly good conspiracy theories why they shut down an airport for *10 days.* Then we all agreed it was probably going to be something stupid. We didn't know it was going to be "we popped a balloon with a giant laser so the furious FAA shut down air traffic" stupid. Wow.

The AI revolution is being led by OpenAi, we're told, so this firing of a top OpenAI exec who objected to its shift toward AI-generated adult content should be a wakeup call. Sam Altman clearly shares Elon's view that the path to AI profitability is flooding the internet with misogyny & CSAM. [gift]

She's right. The gradual closing of the internet with "save the children" as a wedge issue is progressing and will only serve authoritarians. We need more political organization around these issues - not just targeting Discord, but targeting the governments that encourage and enable this behaviour.

Wow, someone really did not think this through. "I can 'exonerate' you for a price"—made as a public offer—is essentially an acknowledgment that the person being offered the bribe is in fact... ...a criminal who did exactly what they have been accused of.

The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.
