Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

a prince and orange juice inspired band called purple drink

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR

MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

This was LITERALLY last month. I feel like I'm losing my mind seeing rightwing posts over on Twitter tonight.

OK, by popular demand, a thread of alternatives to Spotify. Bonus points (& a reskeet) for:

A) Cooperatively owned, at least partly by musicians
B) Open source

In the spirit of harm reduction, any platform that is NOT openly part of the military industrial complex will at least get a 'like.' :)

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out.

In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing.

Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

once my hungry ghosts get fed it's over for you losers

Yes! Because everybody has to poop and pee and you can’t really schedule those around life, so we really do need public restrooms to be readily available in public places.

I have literally never seen a graph like this once in all my years of being an election sicko

18-24 always lags, always, it’s just a natural law of politics

and this is the guy they want to throw out of the party?!

today I rebuilt two wheel hubs in less than an hour!!!! hell yeah bike dudes

make sure you don't accidentally watch Sleepless in Seattle after your friends have died or you have a 9 year old or you're ending long term relationships and especially if all that's happening at the same time

Lmao

why can't Plex let me add songs from other servers to my own playlist?? so annoying

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is unironically one of the best popular narratives about the way privatization of public services destroys local community

This is something I am going to be pointing out a lot in the coming months. One of the most effective ways of reducing violence is increasing the number of people eligible for Medicaid/Apple Health. If we see that number drop profoundly, I would expect to see an accompanying rise in violence.

I have a lot more thoughts on this, but after this much time, it’s clear that the job of the modern media class is stenography and PR. That means that the role of a free press—to inform and protect the public about our shared government—is going unfulfilled except by an individual few.

Dangerous game to play. Trusting a guy who's in the pocket of fascism-friendly Big Tech and hasn't shown any spine against federal overreach is a big gamble for all working people (not just unionized labor) in this city.

Imagine if instead of providing passenger ferry service we just made everyone own their own small boats. It would be chaos and totally unsafe on days like today. And obviously not everyone could afford one. Plus imagine the dock space required!
But that’s basically what we do with cars 🤣
