i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

the most impactful thing Elon Musk has ever done or will ever do regarding science and innovation in this country is illegally cut billions of dollars of research funds for literally no reason

Hard agree

Fuck them and whoever let them in.

Also, in lieu of performing his lauded opera "Einstein On The Beach", the Kennedy Center has announced that they will be performing "Kid Rock At Hooters".

How bad is it for the administration? Even John Fetterman is calling for Buchenwald Barbie to be fired, that's how bad.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Sorry, was this me “trashing Dems”? Or the person who said they were still trying to get him to caucus with the Dems?

It’s not that Schumer is a Republican. It’s that he’s a chickenshit.

Welcome to the resistance, Jerome Powell.

The guy gets amazing amounts of hate from the “tough on crime” types. I have to deal with it on my neighborhood FB page all the time.

And then he gets overwhelmingly re-elected.

How can the feds prevent city police from simply showing up and arresting the perpetrator?

I want to make another point:

We in healthcare understand that prevention is nowhere near as sexy as treatment, but it saves a whole lot more lives.

Krasner is directly preventing deaths by doing this. Other DAs who follow suit would also be saving lives.

People in positions of power respond to movements and incentives. They always have to be pushed.

So let’s push them, hard.

For starters, “abolish ICE” should be the *minimum standard* for a would-be Dem candidate.

When the (committed non-partisan) sports teams start honoring people, that is a major sign.

We are indeed going to win.

DA Krasner condemns fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis, says officers who commit crimes in Philly will ‘be convicted’ Krasner said the actions of the ICE agent who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good were unlawful.

Every DA in every big city in America should be saying this right now, and be fully prepared to back it up.

^^^This right here. I would like to spend as little time as possible in an airport, thanks.

I was never sure about Carranza. With the young players you never know who will make the next step.

Kai is in his prime and plenty good enough for the Championship.

Aw man… There’s hardly any replacing this guy at the MLS level. But no one can deny that he’s elite and will likely do very well in another league.

It's kinda funny how every third political post on has some variation of "oh so you think there's going to be elections how cute" in the replies while the daily news is of Republicans getting boatraced in elections, manufacturing the reality you desire to be outraged about isn't just a rw phenomenon

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

People keep saying that AI is inevitable. Like Bartleby, I'd prefer not to... We "have to use it!" My response to that is simply... WHY? Why is it being pushed so much and into so many things? Once you've gotten people to cede their decision making to an algorithm, eventually they'll stop thinking for themselves. Why would I outsource thinking for myself to a machine? I have a brain.

"You have to use AI."

...why?

You were not kidding. 😵‍💫

I have never seen one of these in a neighborhood that I actually know, and… just, wow.

I’ll make this about more than drinking:
One of my rules to live by is “Don’t make excuses for seizures.”

Because the large majority of them are wrong. 8 times out of 10, if you have seizures, it’s simply because your treatment isn’t working and needs to be changed somehow.

I’ve been taking care of people with seizures for over 25 years. I can stand behind what I say.

It’s not even bad logic. It’s utter innumeracy.

It’s not deliberate.

But it’s people taking advantage of an opportunity to monetize whatever difficulty they can.

It’s like a little bitty version of disaster capitalism.

Alcohol will reduce the seizure threshold when it wears off, but that effect is only meaningful if you drink a fair amount. Having 1 or 2 drinks in an evening is fine.
