Happy 4/20. I posit a question for you all.
Assuming Aladdin either takes place in the past of the real world or parallel to ours, and that Genie's magic powers included intuitively knowing our world's cultural references, was he doing a lot of impressions or just one Robin Williams impression?

Happy 420, my dudes
NEW: How exactly has Alex Jones avoided paying the Sandy Hook families a single dime of what he owes? I wrote about it here, and spoke to Chris Mattei, an attorney for some of the families, and Lenny Pozner, the father of the youngest child who died at Sandy Hook: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
come on man.

“The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70” - Brandon Gill
Me: look, it’s very important to understand racism as a social structure, focusing on individuals as “racists” is counterproductive
Rep. Brandon Gill: hold my beer
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?
ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]
Vibe check: Does Peter Thiel look kind of like Tim Robinson, or do his speeches only sound like really dark I Think You Should Leave bits?
It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.
I just realized that, unlike most people complaining about it, I actually DO own a home (just the one) in NYC.
The new tax doesn't go far enough.
We actually DID used to allow people to dispense morphine in their home, and in a convenient pocket-size bottle!
This is why regulation absolutely matters in our society.
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.
I like the building aspect of cozy games way more than the social aspect, so kind of the same, and it also says so much about me.
A lot of our big “we’re gonna hold big tech accountable” bills actually hand them + the government unprecedented power to track, censor, and deplatform internet users—and would require us to link our identities to everything we do online, meaning no more privacy. Greatly reducing opposition to them
That's basically what the game is, really. But with ear-fucking text to speech robot voices.
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
It's a weird, janky piece of crap that's a pain to use, but I kind of love it and it's made me actually listen to high-quality, full albums when streaming services keep rotating me through the same tracks over and over.
I am forever saying that if refusal isn't a live option in any decision making process about "AI", then no ethical practice is possible. You've got to be able to stop if the thing is unacceptable.
I'm just saying, if someone tells you how good Iron Lung was, just take the compliment.
I mean...
At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software
I can run fast when I really have to shit, too.
And don't tell me you can't cook chicken or lamb in an autoclave, that's quitter talk.
Isn't that just an autoclave?
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
