YouTube video by Hank Green We’re getting duped by AI outrage bait

The reason I'm very inactive on social media, summed up in one video. There are almost no experiences left here that aren't designed to manipulate you, and we've become worse as a whole for it.

I was setting up a replacement modem and router and while running a speed test, I noticed this ad for Down Detector currently showing service issues...

I hate this timeline.

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Don't look at the news, watch TV, or Google for info about parades in DC tomorrow. That's what he wants. If you have the spoons for it, go to a rally being held; www.nokings.org is a good resource to find one in your area.

Baby

I'm seeing a lot of Christofascist ads on Facebook. I just saw one where PragerU is supporting using AI to indoctrinate your children. They actually state 'we all indoctrinate our kids, so make sure to give them the bias you want or someone else will do it'.

Lord forbid they think for themselves.

I didn't think my redneck past of watching Neo-Nazi ketamine addicts fight with a racist senior citizen with dementia would ever be relevant to politics but here we are.

I highly recommend checking out Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If you think you fell out of love with JRPG's, you probably didn't, you just needed a different take.

That said, be prepared for emotional whiplash. It's very French and will sandwich life-altering trauma in between absurdist humor.

Yeah, you should throw your stuff into a landfill and buy new junk like a good consumer!

Good reference on the sign, I like it.

It'd be great if I could read the news without feeling like I was about to have an aneurysm.

Been a while since I've been out at a show but went to Arch City Tavern for drinks and food before heading over to Skully's for a Moon Walker concert. They rock BTW, have great stage energy and seem like they're just loving being on stage, super fun performance.

Top Warhammer players boycott World Championships because of Donald Trump Top players with Golden Tickets for the World Championships of Warhammer are boycotting it to protest it being hosted in Trump’s America.

Alternative headline: "Players of fantasy fascism and war crimes simulator decide America is too terrible for them to compete in."

Air-popped popcorn, Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream Liqueur, and Monster Hunter Wilds. A surprisingly soothing combination.

We got a hundred men out here thinking they're the star of the show but the gorilla is actually the main character.

I just learned the term "skeptical hedonism" and now it makes a lot more sense over what some folks are absolute assholes over minor inconveniences.

While I wasn't expecting an NB actor, I will say Bill Skarsgård used to have a face with softer features so I'm wondering if he was cast thinking in that direction. I think that he's got a very generic look here that could work, plus his delivery is solid and the tone from the trailer seems right.

I honestly wasn't expecting much out of this but I have to say that the vibes feel right.

In my rush to make an Ethiopian lentil stew I burnt the ginger and berbere that I was sauteing the carrots and onions in and let me tell you, inhaling that smoke was my most painful cooking mistake I've ever made.

Nintendo is out here with Fromsoft releasing I Can't Believe It's Not Bloodborne while PlayStation can't even be bothered to do a remaster.

Fear The Duskbloods, I guess. Looks fucking rad.

Sergei, handsome AF as always.

It's telling that Columbus was ranked one of the happiest, most livable cities in the USA just ten years ago and now I'm seeing that it's ranking as one of the highest in the nation for depression and anxiety. Jobs are moving out and Nazis are moving in.

Sergei in a flawless jackknife position.

What the hell, kitchen accident or circus accident? Either way, watch the knives.

Proud of this country? Nah, probably going back into the closet.

Probably a good thing since it was the start of the nuclear arms race.

Military to remove 'Enola Gay' photos for violating DEI rules A photo of Army biologists was on a list of images to be purged, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish that included their gender.

This is the idiocy of this administration. Great job with that Control+F search and remove Elon.

I bought a friend's PC last year for a few hundred simply because I was using a 2080 and his had a 3090TI. I never installed it and felt silly at the time because the 2080 was fine, but now that I'm finally going to upgrade my mobo and processor I'm really glad that I've held onto his 3090TI.

The older lady beside me on my flight saw my mask and asked me if I was sick or trying to avoid getting sick. Pretty understandable question, who wants to sit by a sick person.

Shame that she proceeded to watch Fox News for the whole three hour flight

It just wouldn't be a vacation if TSA didn't pull me aside to feel up my balls.

HUD computers are hacked to show AI video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet Hackers rolled out the 19-second video on the day that federal workers were ordered to return to the office

This is going to be a really weird revolution.
