The most worrying thing about billionaires calling the rest of humanity “resource depletion” so publicly and advocating robots are better than humans as far as resources go is that they are justifying their reasoning to get rid of the rest of us.

TESCREALists Keep Lying About Human Extinction No group of people is screaming louder than the TESCREALists about the risk of human extinction. Yet many of them simultaneously ENDORSE the extinction of our species! (3,200 words)

New article on the duplicity of people like David Krueger who argue that ASI might cause "human extinction." In fact, human extinction is *built-into* the TESCREAL worldview they accept. If things *go well*, then humanity dies out. Don't be fooled by their dishonest rhetoric.

Pretty sure this happened a loooooooong time ago during occupy. Thanks Obama.

Elon wanted to be on that island so badly. Had the assistant sending follow ups to the follow up emails to see if he could come through. Damn near begging to be let in. Pathetic loser.

The one thing I’ll give Phil, the one thing, is he used to be baller, and he can talk to a kid about how much fun it is to be an absolute baller and how he wants that kid to live up to his potential and be a fucking baller.

Terrible coach tho.

Such a hilarious party. Not sure what more can be said about an establishment that watches its base come out and get killed to stand against an agency and administration, and their ultimate plan is more of the same but with body cams.

Increasingly clear that republicans are having a much harder time selling “he deserved it because he had a gun” than they had selling “she deserved it because she was a lesbian.”

Which, like, yeah that’s what the Republican Party is.
