Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing @MikieSherrill and @SpanbergerForVA as their next governors! They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

Focus group behind two-way glass. Pete watches as the moderator asks, "Would it upset you if someone congratulated Mamdani in a tweet?"

Cool that renewables have become the cheapest source of energy in the world just as a bunch of reactionary-centrist US pundits have taken up the right-wing "climate vs. cheap energy" framing.

A non-trivial amount of my haterade for this tech is the complete inability of advocates to be measured and normal about it for one minute.

From A Scanner Darkly: "Let's hear it for the vague blur!" the host said loudly, and there was mass clapping. In his scramble suit, Fred, who was also Robert Arctor, groaned and thought: This is terrible. Once a month an undercover narcotics agent of the county was assigned at random to speak before bubblehead gatherings such as this. Today was his turn. Looking at his audience, he realized how much he detested straights. They thought this was all great. They were smiling. They were being entertained.

An Icegov tweet offering up a photo of new ICE training graduates--"American heroes" with their faces blurred out.

Philip K. Dick gets it right again.

Let's hear it for the vague blurs!

You could pinpoint the exact moment where Cuomo knew he was gonna lose and decided to career pivot to being a highly paid right wing "Democrat" to get on Fox & CNN on a Mamdani hater beat for his entire term so he can run again with their full backing next time to 'save' NYC.

The manosphere, but for knowing which local hardware stores have a free popcorn machine.

"... maybe it isn't worth hiring scamming abusive trash. The world may be top-to-bottom scams, but you know what isn't a scam is a new set quality radial tires you can get today at Les Schwab. That's right folks..."

I don't even follow sports but I would tune into a Terry AM sports radio show.

"Hey Terry, long time listener first time caller. I try to get into the Blazers every 2 years but I don't know where to watch them without a sports package and if I watch at a bar I spend $70 and the entire time I'm talk

It’s funny sparkles have developed as an icon for AI in applications because now I associate sparkles with a thing to avoid with extreme prejudice.

Everyday Americans love seeing Donald Trump demolish part of the White House so he can build a big golden room to have cold prime rib with his cronies

This makes sense coming from the guy whose son monitors his porn consumption

Weirdest group of people ever assembled. Full on freaks in the most pejorative sense of the word.

Occasionally a fabrication project really showcases the imperial system as a measuring system for donkeys.

I knew every day was gonna have a background of evil stupidity but man

The people who made and implemented {display: grid;} deserve all the money and tech media slobber that AI gets.

Made the mistake of previously saying kind things about @govpritzker.illinois.gov

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

It’s the Portland way.

lol oh really, you need to be a legal ethics specialist to see a problem there?

got added to an "AI Haters" list lol it only makes me hotter

Entire GDP built around algorithms and my music app still can't figure out that if I skip a song every single time it's served up I NEVER WANNA HEAR THAT SONG.

"A.I." boosters vs "A.I." critics

I subscribe to the dieting hack of leaving your snacks in the other room.

Big dumb doofus voice:

"Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated avatar, is being compared by its creators to A-list human actors. SAG-AFTRA and others are pushing back."

I'm you. That's how you sound.

Needless to say that there is nothing happening in Portland that requires troops.
