My knitting friends tend to go to second hand stores to look for yarn, because some people buy more than they need. There might also be social media groups for yarn trading.

How shocking. Not only are these people too stupid to understand contracts, I'm not even fully convinced that they want peace. They might just feel too manly when bombing poor people to give it up.

Considering Hasan probably has thousands of hours of material, the every politician and "think piece" latches on to the same 5 lines, it's probably a pretty safe bet that someone's sending them compilation threads from Reddit or something.

"This war will end in two weeks. Completely unrelated, in 9 months we're gonna volunteer every young man (except my relatives and friends, and their relatives and friends) to maybe be sent to mortal danger somewhere in the indefinite, though probably near-ish future. Just for fun, no other reason."

Yeah, they're not eligible because "their lives have value"...

It's so misquoted it borders on slander. He basically said: "R*pes don't justify a genocide." Like... I get that some ex-Republican might take Reddit cringe compilations as fact, but a news corporation has lawyers for this stuff. Weird that they greenlit the story.

It actually makes sense. They clearly don't watch him. They probably don't even know who he is. Someone probably just emailed them a Reddit thread with a bunch of out-of-context quotes and they're citing it verbatim as news.

I wonder when this crap crosses the threshold of prosecutable slander.

It's almost like they're making themselves seem irrational, unpredictable and untrustworthy on purpose.

"Conservatives can either stand for freedom, or they can stand for oppression." - Conservative, choosing to stand for oppression

And they modded in Skaven to feel truly represented.

Also teach media literacy. You can't do geopolitics the way you play Civ 5 or something.

I think they know. He's just a very convenient scapegoat for stuff they actually also want to do, but not take the blame for.

I've almost exclusively seen his non-stream stuff, and I'll say that there's no way The Bulwark did any actual research. They just looked at compilations of the worst bits, and yeah, I wish he hadn't said most of it, but that isn't the full picture. You have to look at what people do outside Twitch.

"his best case so far" = "Yeah, he kinda attacked because he liked the idea, but you didn't so he had to rationalize it for you. You guys are a really hard audience, but I think you're gonna like this one! I did!" - The so-called communications expert

Yep. There's never been one of these "war" things before, so no one knows how it works.

Had to look it up, here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUU8...

Part One: Pete Hegseth's Fascist Book 'American Crusade' | BEHIND THE BASTARDS YouTube video by Behind the Bastards

There kinda is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUU8...

They already did an episode on Hegseth, so it's gonna be a while.

Someone who posted national secrets on World of Tanks forums, drinks on the job, restraining order on his kids (ex-wife missing under mysterious circumstances), no career in military, but was pardoned for their part in the Jan 6 insurrection and the possession of an explosive device.

I woke up, did my usual thing and scrolled my feed. Saw a funny post and thought to myself: "Imagine posting that on April the 1st" and then "Oh shit, that's probably real tho." and finally realized this is what I think every day. We're now living April the 1st forever.

I woke up to this, on April Fool's day, and it's real. I don't know if I can handle these times.

Is that even legal?

How is this not a pump'n'dump?

I think it's the same thing as with RFK. "Turn it into something we can use. Chances are you're going to destroy it through ineptitude, but hey... that still benefits us."

Ed clarified it like this: The RAM is going to data centers, of which OpenAI owns none. In other words, others are buying it.

Well, at least the comments are nothing but calling them out on it.

Hyped games often do. We'll have more reliable data in a week or so.

Shit, games are gonna be the next NFTs, aren't they? They're gonna be hyped up the wazoo, then you bet on their success or failure and OH NO! The CEO pulled the rug on development because his boss bet against the game! I hate that this is where my mind went.

I get a more mean alcoholic vibes, the kind that shat on the neighbor's front lawn and is now demanding the keys to their car, because he failed to hot-wire it.
