For the millionth time: generative video is not a technology that should be available to the public. Certainly not as a SAAS service, and definitely not OSS models without any guardrails. We’re about to be inundated with propaganda and CSAM.

Overall I loved One Battle After Another, but that scene towards the end with the hills.... That shit got me a little motion sick up in the theater 😵‍💫

hi im MrBeast and this is the trolley problem

If 25% of the population believed that a creature called ‘Glonzo’ caused high power prices by chewing through transmission lines, any competent politician would be negligent in not trying to find a way to exploit this. This doesn’t mean that these people wouldn’t be fucking morons.

Gonna pop a Tylenol and look at some trains to see what all the fuss is about.

Took a couple Tylenol this morning. Just enough for a day's worth of autism because it's trivia night night at the bar and I wanted an edge.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall, and it actually took me a moment to realize that they meant autumn, not the complete collapse of democracy.

They have the United States MILITARY carrying that man’s casket for processing off Air Force 2. Motherfucker served not ONE day in the military. He was a podcaster. Racism is POWERFUL

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

I dunno, I just want right and wrong to matter again.

Alien: Earth fucking rocks! This week's episode was practically a new standalone film in the canon and a perfect throwback to the classic Alien formula. And that closing needle drop!!!

I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town

We're going to have a big beautiful dark age, perhaps darker than ever before. And I think you'll be very happy

"many ... wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from 'democracy' to 'authoritarianism.' Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged. Then you wake up one morning and our country is different."

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

"Internal tests show no rise in sycophancy" is a bleak thing to brag about but go off king

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

someone at intel just threw a binder across the office and shouted

Your attention: CPB winds down January 2025 Your local NPR & PBS stations survive with your contributions. If "Tiny Desk" and "Finding Your Roots" and "PBS Newshour" are important to you, They Need Your Money Now. Don't be wringing your hands about what's lost when you have the chance to save it.
