Oh, the hubris. Rewrites, ahoy.

He's not going to stop until he gets World War Three, because then he won't have to answer for the Epstein files, is his logic I believe.

Yeah, exactly. It's like if we only had a handful of the the Good Buffy episodes and tried to imagine the rest; surely that would be the greatest show of all time! But the Real Buffy show, full length, became kinda mealy and meandering once she left high school.

Yes, brilliant. That's what people what out of Green Lantern: a gritty small-town western. Nobody wears a costume, everyone is cynical and above the material; it's the 90s all over again.

Tell me about the peptides, please. I have no idea what you're talking about but it sounds interesting

Another reason people don't like AI is the weird passive aggression folks like you display towards anyone who is not excited about the technology. If it's such cool stuff, why do you need to be such a little snot about it? Why be so defensive?

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Don't study International Relations in graduate school, is the rest of the story.

I read shit like this, and...

Fellow Dems, if you are not familiar with The Nadir, I am begging you to find out what it is, why and how it happened, and learn from it. Then fight with every tool at your disposal to prevent our party from being complicit in ushering in Nadir 2.0

It's going to be a glorious disaster.

I once chose to destroy my own life rather than put a target on the backs of millions of people.

I love this so much. This is such perfect beauty.

I'm on lists like that, too. For a while I was on three lists that contradicted themselves. I think the lists are basically useless, for this reason.

Wait, dead baby jokes stopped? I thought dead baby jokes were eternal?

I need some Obama-era Problematic Discussion, something to get my mind off the fascism just for a moment.

I am a sick, sick monster so I am genuinely excited.

“we all agreed rape jokes are bad” was about lazy men using rape as a shocking punchline to dehumanize women in like tweets and standup routines

don’t use that same maxim to run around demanding survivors of abuse discuss what happened to them only in somber, sad reverence.

Joss Discourse incoming!

Ha!

I'm playing Elspith or I'm not playing, sadly

This rules, so hard. Top tier example of how Sandifer is quietly doing some of the most genuinely thrilling intellectual-cultural history work around, in ways that connect so many fascinating disparate threads that cut across disciplines, genres, and many other boundaries besides.

Every time I try Total War Warhammer, it sucks. I have like 10 turns of fun, and then it starts to suck and it just gets worse. You can never get ahead in that game. That game punishes success, and it punishes failure, and it punishes hitting the next turn button.

Every AI prompt renders down to "make the emptiness go away"

“Guy Debord Vindicated Again” is not a sentence you ever want to be typing and yet I feel like I’m doing it maybe two dozen times a week at this point

It might start that way but it won't stop that way.

Gavin Newsome is exactly what makes people despise Democrats.

I have a service dog and I wear a high-vis vest and that is the only way to get people to acknowledge I have challenges.

Racists, they lie!

Steve King 9 @SteveKinglA + Follow Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. ESTERN ILIZATION Voice of Europe @V_of_Europe Hundreds of Islamists shouting "Allahu Akbar" in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."
