shut up bitch

well, I hope we’ve all learned something here today (need communism now)

Do not give in to republicans. Do not give in to republicans. Do not give in to republicans.

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care?

What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

Oh for the love of

Sharing, since I just googled these so I could leave angry voicemails telling these motherfuckers to hold the line

Schumer's DC office number: 202-224-6542

Gillibrand's DC office number: (202) 224-4451

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.

Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

Find them here: reps.fyi

Only the Democrats could watch a series of elections resoundingly go their way and then, less than a week later, loudly announce that they want to fold on the shutdown. Absolutely worthless party of cowards and hogs. Stupid, weak, useless.

Flying at 8000 feet today News Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

Things are fine.

snow has arrived, time to hibernate

🫂 sorry, friend. Insomnia is a bitch. So is not feeling good. Here if you want to talk

Cover of Copaganda: how police and the media manipulate our news by Alec Karakatsanis

oatmeal has been made, chicken stock is simmering, wings have been rubbed with jerk seasoning, Alice Coltrane is on the turntable, coffee is hot.
I am now calm enough to engage with this book that will propel me back to extreme ire
(sorry it’s all greasy, cover has that annoying sticky coating)

there are just no words for how much I hate the man

“Oates is mean” from the same guy who disowned his daughter for being trans, regularly screams at employees, publicly named and mocked govt employees whose jobs he deemed worthless, called child rescuers pedophiles, what else? oh and caused over half a million deaths from his fucking doge cuts

The introduction to Turing’s paper titled ‘Computing Machinery and intelligence’: I PROPOSE to consider the question, 'Can machines think ?' This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms "machine' and "think'.The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous. If the meaning of the words 'machine' and 'think' are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, 'Can machines think ?' is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll. But this is absurd. Instead of attempting such a definition I shall replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.

Introduction to an opinion piece published in the New York Times on 8 November 2025, by Barbara Gail Montero, titled ‘A.I. Is on Its Way to Something Even More Remarkable Than Intelligence’: Not long ago, A.I. became intelligent. Some may dismiss this claim, but the number of people who doubt A.I.'s acumen is dwindling. According to a 2024 YouGov poll, a clear majority of U.S. adults say that computers are already more intelligent than people or will become so in the near future.

On the left, Alan Turing’s 1950 paper introducing the imitation game, where he says that using public polling as a guide to whether machines are intelligent is absurd.

On the right, yesterday’s NYT opinion piece using public polling as a guide to whether machines are intelligent.

like have you ever been walking through a forest and had the thought, “gee, the view would be nice if it weren’t for all these ugly leaves!”?? Of course not! No one would ever think that, it’s ludicrous

why are there so many holes

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

We need communism immediately

raking leaves is sociopathic behavior. You don’t want to look at leaves?? What the fuck is wrong with you

have not been to Target in nearly 10 months and I do not miss it

this makes me less likely to return to Target

I’m almost out of weed, what do I do

guys, sorry for being “emotional” and “weird” all the time

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

messes actually make me very nervous but they do not bother anyone I live with in the slightest, it’s a real problem

This is true
