Poll showing Gavin Newsom has a net positive rating of negative 18.

So why exactly are they pushing Gavin Newsom so hard when he's polling below AOC and Kamala Harris?

Maybe it's the depression talking, but now that I think about it, Silly Putty isn't very silly.

My dog (golden retriever) sitting on the grass with his ball.

I'm very offended that you think my dog does things arbitrarily.

(The above is a joke — Godfather 3 isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be and I will die on that hill)

A lot of people would say you couldn't make anything worse than Godfather 3, but I truly believe AI can pull it off.

I'm very skeptical of the article's assertion that the Nazi gym teacher was "beloved."

The joke doesn't even make sense. You don't throw eggs at bad comedians. You throw tomatoes. Or, maybe if you're Klobuchar, staplers. Definitely not eggs, though.

I implore y'all to read a single book on philosophy before half-assedly reinventing Pascal's Wager.

The problem is the hype is objectively *not* true, but tech will make sure AI replaces humans anyway. We're seeing it already.

It's really the worst of both worlds: people lose their jobs and we don't even get functional products as a result.

lots of people seem to be okay with AI doing whatever form of art they consider lesser.

Beautifully put.

Establishment Dems would rather lose to a Republican than let a progressive win.

Jack and Rose on the boat in Jaws and not the titanic but still doing the iconic pose.

If he didn't, I'm driving out to Silverlake right now to buy it for myself.

Thank you 😊

I've been thinking about this a lot with all the GenAI I'm seeing.

And I think that's totally awesome! You don't need to be good at something to enjoy it or find value in it. There's vulnerability in doing something you know you suck at and not letting that stop you.

Plus, if you're bad at something, it just means it's easier to improve. If that's what you want 🙂

Not just because it’s how you get better but bad art is good for the soul to create

This sounds like a snarky question, but I would love to pay for a news subscription that offers what WaPo did before Bezos completely ruined it.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Not sure about you, but I cancelled my subscription after Bezos refused to let the writers endorse anyone in the 2024 election.

It's almost like fascism is bad for business.

This is an excellent thread of very excellent dog pics.

One of the biggest problems I have with bundles like this is not knowing where to start. Can anyone advise which book(s) I should start with?

Republicans: We don't hate immigrants. We just want them to follow the legal process to become citizens.

Also Republicans: You don't seriously expect us to go through the hoops of the legal process, do you?

I am humbled by your correction and will do a better job of fact checking my baby-eating jokes in the future.

Agreed. It probably happened on his ranch.
