These Neo-confederate assholes. Reconstruction never went far enough.

It's truer now and has been, but the GOP wants to take us back to before the civil war. It is abundantly clear they have been working to roll back every single step toward progress and will never be satiated. The VRA being dead letter is just another ugly stain on our already disgusting history.

i believe this is related to the rise in people who are utterly incurious about anything not directly beneficial to themselves

I'm a real some-nonsense guy.

[me, loving to be "that guy"] Look, I hate to be "that guy"

Getting extremely tired of the "inevitable future" augment on anything, really. We, as a species, have agency over the course of things. Saying things are inevitable is just an excuse to either check out or otherwise skirt the responsibility we have to each other and our future.

The pope will never get re-elected with all this negative press from the president.

[having a continuous stream of the worst shit happen to me] *through gritted teeth* thank you for all these opportunities.

The ass man cometh

A headline like "Between Iraq and a Hard Place" probably hit so hard when we realized the Iraq War was going to be a quagmire.

Who up immanentizing they eschaton??

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms

DLSS 5 looks like poop from a butt

But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned

"That's the way it is." This is your boy? Embarrassing to simp for a loser who hates you.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

We made a $400,000,000 film using AI and only 10 minute, and it looks like shit. Hollywood is cooked.

I recommend this book at every occasion I can. AI is the ultimate expression of the accountability sink. It performs two duties, removes any need to critically think and deal with messy emotions and ethics AND when things go awry or there is blowback, you can simply blame the "malfunctioning" AI.

Brother, if AI was truly the death of Hollywood and film making you would have to sit here and convince me. Go off and create the next Citizen Kane. But you can't because it's all soulless crap. It's you playing with action figures, but worse, you aren't even creating the narrative.

Come join us!

Just imagining Niles Crane saying "Fraiser, I've been looksmaxxing. Last week, at wine club, I was framemogged. I cannot let this injustice stand."

sigh

This but about *EVERYTHING* AI is purported to do. It's not just that AI is wasteful, built with stolen material, and puts your brain into a blender, it also just can't do what the AI pushers say it can.

No, babe, I think it's cute we have to update our TVs now.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

this stuff has really broken me. it's simply astounding that so many people who have been allowed to amass unimaginable wealth are so droolingly stupid, so unmoored from and in fact hostile to any sense of community or social responsibility, and oh by the way they love to constantly rape children

I love @techconnectify.bsky.social. From one Midwesterner to another.

It seems so insignificant given what people are going through, but it still boggles my mind how people can have their life fully together. I feel like I'm barely holding on all the time, and I have it good next to so many.

We are live and alive! Come on by and say hi!

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Bananas Foster?? How about bananas adopt.

"I'm projecting quiet confidence!" I yell to the crowded street.

There is a fifth wave of ska, beyond that which is known to rude boys

One must imagine sisyphus locked in.

Me, eyeing my empire of dirt: You can have a *little*.

Donkey Kong Bananza GOTY

Me, addressing the Judge: May I approach the bench, slime?

No need to look to complicated and misguided conspiracy theories, look at how the powerful speak to each other. "I enjoyed doing the pedophilia with you. It was one of my favorite things to do. I am the CEO of a major company."

let's roll that Brennan clip real quick

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

It doesn't matter that they always do this. I'm still furious with these cowards. We may not deserve better, but we need to make it so we have better. Disgusted.

You don't hate Chuck Schumer enough

This are just some errant thoughts I've been chewing on. Something about the current iteration of personal computing really chaffs at me. When GUIs were first introduced there was this thing called the "desktop metaphor" and it was created to ease the masses of non-computer users into using it.

GPUs should be for gaming and animation.

Multiplayer PC games should have dedicated server downloads again even if solving cheating is harder.
