If anyone is the Left Joe Rogan, it's Hunter Biden

A man who likes to go on unhinged, raw rants about politics and conspiracy theories but with very staunch social democratic, pro-LGBTQ, pro-immigrant politics

OpenAI actually did something... open?!

Even DICE, the subsidiary studio that actually makes the game, was like "idk about that one, guys"

But the EA bosses insist that's practical and possible

EA apparently has sales projections of 100M for the game, which is almost 3x what any Battlefield game has ever sold.

Even if they do everything right, even if the game is a massive hit, they're not going to meet their estimates, and *that* will fuck everything up.

People suddenly really loving Hunter Biden is also related to this. The man is Dark Woke embodied.

South Park is a cultural bellwether in a lot of ways, and Trey & Matt are harkening the coming synthesis

We're going through the dialectic process of:

thesis: woke

antithesis: anti-woke (which is a mirror image of wokeness rather than just opposing it)

synthesis: dark woke (progressive outlook but with more leeway to be edgy)

Giving all but the worst people a pathway back into polite society doesn't always feel great but is at times very necessary for social cohesion

Crypto is the worst case of this

more people should do the thought exercise of "imagine a new tech that comes to market that actually works and allows people to do new things they previously couldnt. how many grifters and false hype claims do you expect to see around this technology?"

Not picking on this person, I think i see this kind of claim often. But like railways were absolutely a massive hype bubble. People were saying there was going to be polar loops, rail links across the bearing strait, 24-hour transcontinental, saying every rail town would be 100k big.

Wow that's actually pretty sweet

It's a story about the different Hawaiian kingdoms at war with each other before the archipelago was unified by Kamehameha

Of course they speak Hawaiian

Really telling on themselves that they can't be bothered to read subtitles lol

Apple TV+ is legit as hell and basically what HBO used to be in its glory days

some jackass whining Chief of War is in Hawaiian and you have to use subtitles

reactionaries when it's black elves: THIS IS UNREALISTIC! IMMERSION BREAKING!

reactionaries when indigenous Hawaiians speak actual Hawaiian:

Gray kitten

Wally desu

Funniest clip here imo

A modest proposal: “Earned Citizenship,” like birthright citizenship but automatic for immigrants who live in the US for a certain number of years and have no serious legal issues.

There's a flipside to this. There's so much boilerplate coding stuff I could do in my sleep that I'd rather just an LLM handle so I can focus on the actual problem solving.

Not saying that's how students are using it, though.

I love living in a stable nation state

Have you ever asked yourself “What if Caligula had nukes?”. Well bad news…

Trump has very obviously lost it. The signs were clear months ago, but it's impossible to ignore anymore.

is that good

Zombie president

Lol wtf

Trump rambling about nuclear missiles from the roof

It's even worse than I thought

just normal behavior for a man going senile but still lucid enough to understand the walls are closing in on him about stuff his most vicious supporters care a lot about

oh he's losing it, losing it

Building a lil admin tool for @skyrdle.com in Swift for macOS. Nothing fancy, just let's me easily add new words and see stats about ones that've already run.
