Thought Cabinet

Tech companies only have five ideas: robot slave (actually just human slaves), hallucinatory counter-reality, untaxable money, The Everything App, and Clippy

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

US military now briefing troops that its strike on Iran "will likely result in counterstrikes on US bases and facilities" in the Middle East, and "likely activate Iran and other foreign terrorist organizations cells abroad including the US to conduct strikes against US persons and facilities"

People are like, "Wow, so the Supreme Court can just decide what medical care you get instead of you and your doctor?" Yeah man. That was Dobbs. They don't give a fuck about us, about precedent, the actual text of the law, the intent of the law, or anything else. The law is fake.

Police and feds should pay for this out of their own salaries and pensions.

Just give them another couple decades and a few trillion tax payer dollars and they'll figure out how to get their friends to Mars and leave the rest of us in their exhaust

Why is there an IDF facility in a civilian area? Is Israel using human shields?

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

borders and states aren’t real, anybody who wants to stroll into the U.S. should be able to do so whenever they want, I don’t fuckin care

During a debate titled "One Christian vs. Twenty Atheists," Jordan Peterson loses by forgetting what side he’s on

Feels like just in my lifetime the tech industry went from solving problems to pretending to solve problems, to creating problems

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked:

-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

*Yelling into void*

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

Let's add a third act to that play.

Guy who hates Marx so much he denies all of material reality

The Pope met with JD Vance and then he killed himself.

It's a weird world where the shittier a piece of software looks, the more I trust it.

The fancy looking ones? They're going to steal my data or extort me in pricing or just not work.

Crappy looking tools made by some random dude? This shit is going to get the job done and do nothing else.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

That’s right… Bill Kristol?

"you're not better than me for not using ai."

no, i am. i am better, smarter, funnier, hotter, and all around less obnoxious than you for that one reason.

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.
