A wonderful coincidence we start this book on 420

People all “they’re targeting Christians too” haven’t been paying attention to the Zionist occupation of Palestine for the last 78 years.
The kind of AI that techbros and governments are pushing is not the internet, or cell phones, or personal computers, or heavier than air flying machines, or the wheel.
It's the digital equivalent of asbestos, plastics, teflon, and lead.
One of my thoughts on 4/20 is that the general cultural mode of a guy who likes drugs has moved from a kind of hippy let’s all get along sort of guy to a “I am better than you because I do drugs and have become the ubermensch” sort of guy and it’s been a pretty big catastrophe for the human race
And meanwhile I was working in kindergarten at the time and it was pretty clear that what kids took away from clone wars was the aesthetics of war heroism and modern military language.
Complete and total Ragu victory
i see people mocking the fast running robot like 'we have cars' but that misses the point.
a car can't run you down and subdue you inside or in various non-road conditions. they're not making them faster than humans for athletic reasons.
that's normal, i say over my morning coffee.
Look, it doesn't matter how pathetic the worms at Palantir are. They do have actual power. A lot of it. The more any action against them is delayed, the worse it will get. There is a giant cliff ahead of us and the bus drivers are insane. We need to grab the steering wheel.
A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”
Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.
Watching Palantir do Sephiroth posting about multiculturalism and I would like to remind everyone that they were doing corporate fake woke shit just like every other company.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

I'm not kidding btw, Conservative liberal academics pushing "Actually FDRs New Deal made the great depression last longer than it would have" is essentially a recession indicator.
Tired: making two dozen movies and tv shows to connect one movie to another made 7 years later
Wired: filming a new scene to connect those two movies
Save on DUSK, FAITH: The Unholy Trinity, Blood West, and Blood West: Dead Man's Promise during the ID@XBOX
UnHalloween Sale:
Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.
I think we'd have better media literacy if we werent so precious about spoilers, not that you need to barf plot twists at ppl but the one and done Its My Escapism lensing of How A Story Is Used is pure consumer brain nonsense
Reaction to this story has been very positive. I was floored when I first read it (and the title was perfect).
@rsbenedict.bsky.social really stuns here with some rather incisive and heartbreaking body horror
“Whether it’s Mahmoud Khalil… or President Trump. It’s all bad.”
Jake Tapper is such an Islamophobic piece of shit
for all we heard about The Left Forcing Its Politics On America the right cannot shut the fuck up to the extent that surveillance companies have opinions about religious "intolerance."
First and foremost this is a great story about sex work, misogyny, and patriarchy, but it also just has some really fucked up alien sex and guys being absolute freaks.
"Tabula Rasa" by Amy Kitcher is now free to read!
the entire right-wing project is an ARG if you really think about it
Why was I invited to Beast Studios?

I love dashcam footage of a dude telling me to buy Dominos Pizza
