most people, left and right, treat traffic violence like the weather and not a specific policy choice

like the money making goal is to follow the uber model: give "rides" away for basically free, become massive, start charging a *lot* more. you think the "ai assistants" are going to stay cheap???? when there's money to be made??? venture capitalists to satisfy???

"I was forced to use AI until the day I was laid off." Copywriters reveal how AI has decimated their industry Copywriters were one of the first to have their jobs targeted by AI firms. These are their stories, three years into the AI era.

so it seems like companies are willing to accept inferior work outputs from ai tools because it's cheaper *right now* but is anyone looking ahead to when the ai behemoths have made businesses dependent on them and then start jacking up the prices??

How nuclear submarines could pave the way for nuclear weapons in South Korea In a region that is already bristling with all types of nuclear weapons, bestowing latent nuclear-weapon-state status upon South Korea is needlessly destabilizing.

*breathing slowly and deeply* going forward, i would suggest everyone take any alleged "socialist" writing for the atlantic with a side of salt lick

atlantic writers and editors woke up and said divide and conquer

and it's WORKING i don't want to quote people because it's rude and also i don't want to misinterpret anyone accidentally but i'm p sure there are people taking this idea seriously as like, a big problem amongst the pro-worker "left"

ahaskga;sgh;alkshgda;sg

sowing division and reaping quote tweets like it's their job!!!

also to farm hate reads and look, they did good

i'm telling you, the purpose of this post is to make people hate socialists!!! i am CONVINCED

maybe (probably) not the intention of the writer, but of the assigning editors

no no, given that this was published in the atlantic, i think it's a psyop to make people hate socialists

"Firing racists is a capitalist assault upon the working class" is the kind of galaxy brain take that makes me want asteroids to cleanse the planet.

C'mon @cnn.com. How can you confuse Woody Allen with Bill Gates? Don't mind being sued?

“Congress has largely been focused on the double-tap strike. But the consensus among experts is that the entirety of the strikes is illegal.”

@naomilachance.bsky.social breaks down the details of Trump’s recent strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean and what makes them illegal.

haven't stopped thinking about that that video of dick van dyke being interviewed about how he lived past 100 because his heart isn't filled with hate and it definitely makes me worry about my likely lifespan because my hobby is logging in here and getting angry 2-200x per day

“I don’t think there’s anything to do to mitigate the situation,” he said.

this fatalistic apathy (apathetic fatalism?) sucks

or the streets! and the lack of pedestrian/bikeways that separate and protect people from cars and their drivers.

Maybe there needs to be additional meetings and reminders for those running on sidewalks or crossing streets to be cautious and to reinforce following traffic rules while being on the lookout for distracted drivers.

ah yes, the problem is with the high school runners, not the drunk, distracted, or dangerous drivers...OR the systems that allow drunk distracted and dangerous drivers to run amok sans consequences
