I saw that it was coming out. I couldn't think of any way that it could be good.

The first rule of GOP club is, you do not blame the GOP. The 2nd rule of GOP club is, *you do not blame the GOP*.

GOP messaging: Looking at gas prices is woke.

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.

Harrison Ford, Ian McShane, and Patrick Stewart are 5 years older.

Ian McKellen, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson, Kathy Bates, and Morgan Freeman are all 10-12 years older than Bill O.

Michael Caine is 16 years older.

Hate ages you horrifically.

Just don't let it get outside. Remember, nature abhors a vacuum.

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:

“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

Probably the same person that named 'passionfruit'.

it’s weird for “tech people” to be perceived as simultaneously destroying culture and humanity, and at risk of massive layoffs with no path into other employment

See, to me its delusional to see any uses for LLMs anyway.

Its the lying and plagiarism machine, take your pick of whoch of those 2 it does best.

Its only "useful" if the work you're doing with it is to convince someone else (badly) that you're trying when you're clearly not.

With things in their current state, I would genuinely choose to remove LLMs from the pool of possible technology forever if it meant killing the technofascist oligarchy.

I know there are legitimate and beneficial uses for them, but the baby isn't feeling worth the bathwater on this one.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Kash busying himself with drunkenness is about the best use of Kash Patel. You don't want him functional.

Pete Hegseth furious that now people think Kash Patel can outdrink him.

kash patel and pete hegseth are DUI hires.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News.

The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth

People in the Epstein files are the only people Trump knows.

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

I'm still mad at Obama, but Mamdani attaching himself to him is incredibly smart, for all sorts of reasons - it lets the base know that social democracy is not alien to the Democratic Party, and it lets the pols/wonks know that Obama has already decided where the wind is blowing

It's so funny that random media pundits and people who polled at 1% in Democratic primaries are yelling about how Mamdani's "extremism" will destroy Democratic electability nationwide and meanwhile Literally Barack Obama is doing this.

Child: I know your name. Mamdani.

Obama: What’s his first name?

Child: Mayor.

which of Trump's current cabinet members will be the target of a nationwide manhunt by the time this whole thing is over? My top choices are Hegseth and Patel

Learn whatever you want about "law," it doesn't matter because GOP Justices blew up the entire process of deciding cases based on chats with rich friends and stuff they watched on TV. That was the entire basis on which SCOTUS switched to the shadow docket.

Cover of Mother Jones with an image of fingers pointing at John Roberts and the coverline "Blame John Roberts for Everything"

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”

America’s Mayor can’t miss.

LOUD!!!!

When I lived in Texas, a running joke was "Chinese food made by Mexicans, as it's supposed to be."

In Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain highlighted how high end places all used South American cooks.

It's not just farmers. It's the whole food chain.
