Screenshot of a Twitter post from Gravantus @Gravantus Watching an old Twilight Zone episode where a man becomes obsessed with a devil machine coin fortune teller. The machine gives generic answers but he becomes paralyzed, unable to make a decision without consulting it. Anyway, some of these episodes are a bit farfetched. Attached are two images, one of ta devil coin fortune telling machine with a sign saying ot ask yes or no questions. The second image is a stock photo of a phone with the ChatGPT logo.

One of the most beautiful things about America is that we took the land of a treasonous general and turned it into a resting place for those who give their lives defending this nation, including while crushing the pathetic Confederacy

Man In Charge Of U.S. Armed Forces: I'm Proud Of Those Who Killed 100,000 Members Of The U.S. Armed Forces

Build the fucking statue

Given Sheridan's size, you could probably sculpt at least two statues after melting that religious zealot and traitor down

I'm gonna miss him so much. At first I was surprised that I was so much sadder than when Kane left... and stories like this just hammer home why

What is required for someone to be an American? 30% of Republicans say being White is very or somewhat important. www.pbump.net/o/what-makes...

[deleted previous post because it was too bitter] WNYC has been floundering and rudderless for the last couple of years, laying off staff every other quarter, including most of the folks that got their shows to peoples' ears

Have I Told You Lately That AI Is Garbage?

I was 22 and meeting my parents in Ottawa for a wedding, but they did not want to let me through customs because I didn't have a gift or the invitation to prove it was a wedding... eventually someone understood that a broke college kid would never consider these things and I got through

I think it’s simple that a person who doesn’t do a thing and instead allows a machine to do it for them can’t claim to be part of the group or history of the profession. An artist who doesn’t make the art isn’t an artist. A writer who doesn’t write is not a writer. It’s not the ideas but the making.

Son Heung-min waiting on the sideline before a throw in, shot by me at Tottenham Hotspur stadium in March 2023. Son scored once and Harry Kane scored twice as Spurs won 3-1

To paraphrase from Ted Lasso, Harry Kane is Spurs’ best player, my favorite player is Son Heung-min.

It’s hard to imagine the squad without him. Glad I was able to see him play (and score!) against Forest in ‘23. COYS

The Defiant is made up entirely of dudes kicked out of bands for being anti-vax, including Dicky from the Bosstones. Here's a taste:
In the year of our lord two thousand and twenty
I think that the month it was March
For humanities sake we were asked to partake
And to bring down the arc of the arch

Do bars count as non-food? Cause getting a drink outside at Red's Java house (almost directly under the Bay Bridge) is my absolute favorite first thing to do when I get to town. And there are so many great things in Golden Gate Park

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

It will take generations to undo all of the damage of the past seven months

ok ok i wrote about it

Private equity tees up to invest in youth sports The youth sports industry has amassed an estimated market value of $40 billion according to the Aspen Institute. Private equity has taken notice and is ready to play ball.

Don't worry, prices will be going down soon as private equity appears ready to "find efficiencies" and "fix" the industry! But who knows, maybe this will the time they finally fix something instead of bankrupt it for no reason... www.marketplace.org/story/2025/0...

Spurs winning trophies is no longer breaking news...

They would have actually run the ball during the monsoon with Orton... and I still have the image of Sexy Rexy closing his fucking eyes and throwing that pick etched into my brain

Looks like an ideal time for Cactus Jack and his barbed wire baseball bat to run-in

The Bears would have won Super Bowl LXI if Kyle Orton started

This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace.

It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate.

They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

Manfred decided to go union bust on the road (the fuck around stage), Harper told him to take that shit somewhere else (the find out stage), so of course Stephen A took the side of ownership (the bootlicking stage)

The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.
