I owe Dermot Desmond an apology. I was't really familiar with his game.

That dude looks like Cindy Lou Who's uncle.

where's the no-like button

I never knew what Philip Larkin looked like and I was unprepared for how Philip Larkin he looked.

I think most AI shills are too narcissistic and intellectually underdeveloped to be right-wing or left-wing. They just want VC money and progressives want to regulate their industry and the GOP doesn't.

I'm afraid I tend to be skeptical when people talk about why the right does what it does. The right is profoundly stupid. They act on rage. They hate libs, and libs like education, so they destroy schools. It's not a subtle plan; it's somewhere between a riot and a tantrum.

Starmer is, in all seriousness, the most mystifying politician I've ever known.

As @greatdismal.bsky.social wrote in The Peripheral: "Conspiracy theory's got to be simple. Sense doesn't come into it. People are more scared of how complicated shit actually is than they ever are about whatever's supposed to be behind the conspiracy.”

AI is the single largest driver of climate crisis right now, and it is accelerating in rate

all green energy progress has been eliminated by AI

fascism, big business and climate crisis are the same thing we are fighting

an existential threat

it's all of us against the billionaires

or we burn

Take them all to the vet and have them put down.

I've personally been friendly with two different guys who became billionaires & believe me, the money did not improve them. One became a cocooned, pampered caricature of himself and one became one of the worst people you or I have ever heard of.

I would like my own private ICE agency to forcibly deport NY billionaires to Coral Gables.

I am old enough to remember when The Atlantic was good and not just a great big slithering pile of these guys.

TODAY!

NYC!

SHOW UP!!

Sir, requesting permission not to give a good goddamn about Sidney Sweeney one way or the other! Sir!

Not surprising He's started to lose His patience.

What if there were a law that if yout property was on the derelict sites register you couldn't rent out a wall to an advertising company to put a billboard on? Maybe that would increase the incentive to fix it up rather than just earn an income from advertising on a pile of shit for years?

definitive proof that all those miserable spam texts you hate and can’t get rid of aren’t even raising money for the candidates they say they are

shut the entire machine down immediately

ADL web gone

Shortly after Trump’s election in November, the Internet Archive registered major changes to ADL’s website. Sections devoted to voting rights, racial justice, and other civil-rights issues were all gone. (3/x)

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

A row of AI-generated covers for bootleg SHE RIDES SHOTGUN novels for sale on Amazon.

If you search for "She Rides Shotgun" on Amazon right now, instead of my novel you get a row of AI-generated bootlegs. Man you just can't win in hellworld. (Don't buy my book from Amazon anyway, but also fuck these slop-peddlers to the moon).

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

The Actual Conspiracy Theory Surrounding Trump and Epstein It’s not what you think it is.

Instead of waiting for (redacted or doctored) Epstein files, media should publish court docs alleging that Trump raped Katie Johnson at Epstein's home when she was 13.

Why ignore what alleged victims have to say while giving adjudicated or alleged perps unlimited air time?
