And I glossed when I said AI, mea culpa.

We really need to separate "machine learning", where limited datasets are mined for limited purpose; which is really useful, from LLM's and the idea of an artificial intelligence; capable of independent thought.

This 🧵. Sometimes I'm still surprised he's gone, and then I wonder what music he would have pulled from our souls in the years since. Taken too soon and a loss for a generation. RIPower.

& I mean this sincerely: he's the reason the phrase 'Short King' exists. SO much 🔥🔥🔥 in 5'3"

I don't think non-Black people understand how much Black people calculating spaces as to whether they'd be hostile to Black people.

It's the same way I think men don't understand that women navigate spaces thinking about whether or not they'd be safe

OH HELL YES @bradlander.bsky.social

Lady Gaga did that first, and better.

Love the twirl, love the posing, love the confidence, love the sparkle waistcoat, just love the whole *gestures at Coleman*

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

In a nutshell. 😊

The Palantir screed comes from powerful people wanting the moral language of care, grace, and inclusivity only when they are the ones asked to be accountable for the consequences of their own power.

Don’t give it to them.

They must face significant consequences for what they’ve done.

Yeah I’m still talking about Cory Booker.

If you care, stop taking the money. You’re rich. Stop taking the money.

Ol’ Hamilton Test Audience lookin’ ass

I AM BEGGING

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Editor In Chief is Having Some Issues about their difficulties issuing...

American Nuremberg Trials for every single one of these depraved brownshirts and the depraved individuals giving them their orders.

There will be a fucking reckoning of some form or fashion. Bet.

InfoWars Let me tell you a story. When I was a child, I suffered from night terrors. It was always the same dream: I could hear my family and neighbors wailing…

Some timeline stuff:
— We expect to get InfoWars.com after the judge clears it in a couple of weeks.
— We'll build a world of characters on the site and across social media. Tim Heidecker is in charge, and we have grand designs.
— Visit theonion.info, buy a subscription, help us dominate the world.

Grief timing is so very unpredictable. I had the worst time 26 months after losing my father. Others hit bottom in five minutes. We all need to support each other just for this unpredictability, constantly.

Feels kinda silly to say that rich people from the center to left of things politically can’t build a successful media environment when the onion is doing it basically using donations from semi-employed forum goblins

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off

so unnecessary
and so annoying

I assumed it was because critics of the show always were saying 'the sleepy guy' was probably stoned while taping. The MSTie team didn't shy away from the ganja refs, that's for sure.

And of course in Final Sacrifice, Mike Pipper lights his pipe and the quip is [rough voice] 'mmmm... good dope!'

Beacon Hill’s effort to restrict social media use by teens is clumsy and invasive, critics say - The Boston Globe Proposals from on Beacon Hill aimed at curbing social media use among teens have run into a range of practical, constitutional, and security challenges.

Da fuck, Massachusetts? I thought we were bros. Now you go and try to ID everyone on the Internet? Not cool.

In fact, actively dangerous. How about a comprehensive privacy bill instead?

Time to call my Rep & Sen & Governor. www.stoponlineidchecks.org/ma/

It is likely that Trump's Iran catastrophe will lead to some kind of compensation for all the countries the US has screwed (which is all of them). We would do well now to lay groundwork for seizing assets of the Palantirs and Musk fortune that enabled Trump's rise and invasion.

It really bums me out how often people conflate "people in power are often evil" with "people are inherently evil." Cruel people are just attracted to positions of power! There's a selection bias, and that matters!

Worth it for their gobsmacked comments; but the visual is amazing.

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

It turn out she has a name, which is weird.

Thank you, Connie Ballmer.

China eyes near-total electrification of freight trucks to cut emissions China’s push to electrify heavy trucks could slash road oil demand by half, driven by cost, scale, and energy security.

I keep getting told goods move by diesel truck

Not China which is shifting to 100% electric trucking

I've been thinking about the backlash Marie Kondo got and I think part of it was not just that she was saying "buy less shit" she was explicitly say "only buy what actually makes you happy" and in a nation of conspicuous consumption it pissed people off.

Can confirm.
