This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Really think the game being played with futures markets is leaving a lot of folks unprepared for the future which now seems functionally locked in.

If supply is down 10m barrels a day, then demand will, eventually, have to conform and that is going to be unpleasant.

I see Titanium Court reviews are out today, and honestly if you're already interested enough to pick the game up I'd say.. Do not read them. Many extensively lay out elements that I think are way more enjoyable to discover on their own. The surprise is part of the experience

Foghorn Leghorn you have to stop. You smoke too tough. Your swag too different. Your bitch is too bad. They’ll kill you

if I were The Kid I would simply outrun The Judge in a 1995 Lotus Esprit

it's really funny that anthropic claims their latest model is "too dangerous to release" and named it mythos. Yeah man my new ai is soooo powerful. it's called uhhh Fabrication

technically advise them to fuck off

the fascists have been lying, cheating and changing the rules to their benefit for years. turnabout isn't just fair play, it's the only way to maintain some semblance of a civil society.

blocking all the humans who are mean to my calculator my only friend

Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.

Embarassing.

the profundity of this comment on a random thread about the obsequiousness of AI chatbots stopped me dead in my tracks

talking to my friend building pokemon champions teams for me like i'm an F1 driver and he's my race engineer

There are so many execs out there who meet with high craft game developers who have been making hits for years and they just want to make a really great single player game to the best of their ability. & the exec is like no I want to piss my money into AI garbage for a massive loss please

They think you're stupid.

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.

But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

this is an incredibly sketchy story and so far all the people involved in breaking / spreading it are deeply unreliable sources

I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:

Mark side of The Room

under the ocean, presumably.

the story is extremely memorable because he described once they found some old cookie dough and were eating it in the dark watching the movie and somebody discovered that it had maggots in. and they were on acid. in a submarine.

ALLEGEDLY

a guy with whom i used to hang around pittsburgh bars paid for his college by going into armed forces, specifically as a submariner.

he told me a story about how that shit is boring, so they would do shit like take acid and watch movies.

i think about this every time i hear about submarines

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.

One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

will tifa make the 'street fighter' game appealing to the straight male demographic?

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings
