"That's not funny!"

Then don't laugh.

Sooner or later you're gonna have to come to terms with the fact that you can't combat creating concentration camps and kidnapping people off the streets by voting harder

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”

hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously

Continue to not, then.

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today.

Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!"

It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

That Superman one is definitely one of mine.

Are you a mutant in the Marvel Universe? Being a Morlock could be for you!

A new study of over 5,000 #trans adults found that access to gender-affirming hormones during adolescence was associated with better mental health outcomes in adulthood.

Similar results to our 2022 study in @plosone.org.

"without police who are you going to call if you need help?"
the same people I call now, a bunch of strippers and petty criminals whom I love dearly

The first rule of Paradox Club is you have to go back in time to create Paradox Club.

We literally don't know what humans are actually capable of doing with science, medicine & tech bc everything has to be an imperialist capitalism scam instead of IDK SHARING AND GROWING AND HEALING AND PLAYING TOGETHER AS A WHOLE FUCKING WORLD OR SOMETHING

would that our Democratic Party leadership had half the moral courage of a Martha's Vineyard pierogie vendor

"You want me to contribute to the society that enabled me to become so filthy stinking sociopathically rich in the first place? What's in it for me?"

And you're supposed to be one of the "good" billionaires. Jesus Hussein Christ, listen to yourself.

email to me: Our disabled son has CP and bladder spasms so urologist is recommending Botox treatments and we read your article and are concerned about the presence of mRNA in the Botox. Is mRNA in all brands? How can we know if it is in there? Is there a safe brand you recommend? He has to have this so what do we do? Thanks

my reply: personally, i'd recommend you follow the advice of your doctor. but what do i know, i'm just a random person you emailed. I have no more formal education around botox than the author Naomi Wolf, whose advice I assume you were actually seeking. but since you emailed me, my suggestion is that you listen to your kid's urologist, who is a trained medical professional, rather than seeking out medical advice from someone with an english degree and a history of making significant errors in her research. best of luck!

a specific skill I've developed over the past ~20 years is crafting responses to emails sent to me, but intended for that other Naomi Wolf

You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?

It’s redundant now that the entire Internet is one giant screech that goes on forever.

A happy book says: I'm so proud you chose me as your holiday read! I can't wait to start entertaining you! A smiling drink says: And I'm right here! Ready to keep you cool and refreshed while you read! A gleeful phone adds: Yay! So great! How about we kick things off with a load of the same old rubbish you always look at, plus some gloomy news and mavbe a few emails from work!! Hours later... The drink and book lie untouched. The phone is out of view but a bubble reads: Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll Scroll The book says “I hate that guy.”

Dean Cain won't need to wear a mask as an ICE agent because no one is going to recognize him anyway.

Dean Cain is the Scott Baio of Kevin Sorbos

Listen if we can't steal all art ever made and everything everyone has ever written, if we can't make you pay for the power we are doubling, and if we can't put this faulty product everywhere even where it's not wanted or needed, this whole AI endeavor won't be viable and I need you to respect that

*Googles*

Oh. Oh no.

For the love of the game.

First true thing that idiot Babet has ever said.

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Hey son how about you put down Fortnite and come to the dinner table for a little Fork-Knife okay
