Anthropic standing up against a corrupt government. Seems like the company thinking about future does understand basic democratic responsibility...

That excellent professor, but only goes out and does media or public speaking when they are selling a new book...

the republican congress just idly watching as war with iran is prepared for... the abdication of governance is just insane. have they read the constitution??

Man these news agencies have a lot of commentary on AOC at a conference in Munich compared to the LITERAL POLICIES OF THE PRESDIENT OF THE UNITED STATES WITH A TRIFECTA.

If Goldman Sachs, DC law firms that settled, Dominion Voting, Google, AT&T, Gallup, and CBS responded to authoritarian pressure the way Stephen Colbert did we would live in a better world. fucking shameful...

Companies must realize they rely on liberal democracy to thrive too.

George Washington by George W. Bush For a Leader, Humility Is the Ultimate Strength

Trump is just a really really big Star Wars fan, when the prequels came out he was upset people called the politics shallow and unrealistic, so he set out to vindicate George Lucas by upending democracy in an even more unbelievable way.

Conservatives have DEI, but for retards

Gallup no longer polling presidential approval is another in the list of corporations capitulating to government pressure without a fight. There is a responsibility to liberalism, democracy, and society that some people don't share enough.

when you type a complex word, but spell it correctly first try so there is no autocorrect, and it doesn't come up after several spaces, so you have to stop and google it to make sure it's spelled correctly

I exist in a superposition of
I get to cook amazing meals in like 10-20 minutes thanks to incredible advanced appliances and food packaging, with taste rivaling royalty
and
I am forced to daily consume food and continuously upkeep mundane food prep or I fucking die

Confusion in Kyiv and Moscow after Trump says Putin agreed to pause attacks for a week Trump told a Cabinet meeting he had personally asked Putin to stop attacking because of the "extraordinary cold" in Ukraine, where temperatures have hit minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jan 29th Trump deal to pause missile strikes for a week. Jan 30th the Kremlin says end is Feb 1st. Trump repeats on Feb 1st no strikes until Feb 5th.
Many strikes on the night-morning of Feb 2nd-3rd. How does anyone still buy Russia's word or Trump's "dealmaking"...

biggest indictment of modern society is eating out imo

what is sad about this is everyone agrees, what is really being communicated is that they don't believe anything immoral / sufficiently immoral has been done.
just a self report of different values. mostly the value is, this hasn't affected me yet so i don't care.

>ideology breaks the social contract
>i don't want that ideology in my society
>oh so you're so intolerant and judgmental you would limit a personal relationship based on "morality"

many such cases

language is cursed, every day i learn new everyday word oddities

why is upside down two distinct words with different meanings in proximity to each other treated like a new single word instead of upsidedown or at least upside-down... i get it came from a literal phrase, but how are they not fused, such as "UP"SIDE already is.

The great dollar debasement is finally happening and the price of bitcoin is going down. I look forward to the crypto cope on why it's still "digital gold".

in star wars the hutt cartels have ruled hutt space for 25 thousand years, prolly the longest continuous domain, yet we have virtually no stories about how they did it...

i am once again looking for a sock without holes
