YouTube video by Movieclips Best in Show (3/11) Movie CLIP - We Met at Starbucks (2000) HD

JDs presence here reminds me of the same uncanny cadence and uncomfortable stilted delivery as the satirical hysterical anxious yuppie couple in Best in Show. m.youtube.com/watch?v=xVWp...

The majority of the Odd Lots episodes this week have been about an “AI bubble” or bubble adjacent talk. Tech Policy Press released a podcast episode about a bubble. On top of the reaction the thinking machines valuation I think we’ve reached mainstream concern and it’s only going to get louder.

If we get rid of the filibuster then the crazy party will be able to do their crazy things!

Good.

Either they’ll do it and deal with the consequences by getting crushed in elections where we undo all of it. Or they won’t do it because they were full of shit and hiding behind the filibusters

*rockwell standing guy*

we should abolish the filibuster so we can pass laws again rather than giant clusterfuck omnibus bullshit

Laurie Anderson on making an AI chatbot of Lou Reed: ‘I’m totally, 100%, sadly addicted’ Anderson’s experiments with language-based AI predated ChatGPT – with one machine modelled on her dead husband that her friends ‘just can’t stand’

Laurie Anderson did this for Lou Reed and it produced Lou Reed like slop. I obviously can’t speak for one of the greatest artists ever who I think has total control of her husband’s estate and mourns his loss. But, it all feels nonconsensual and violating. www.theguardian.com/music/2024/f...

Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity.

Or so I argue in a new post for @apaphilosophy.bsky.social.

a decade of working for an employer which was the subject of major public controversy throughout has given me less than zero sympathy for people who affirmatively make the decision to freelance defenses of their employers when they fuck up

Crying bro please meme about the decades long sweeps of the “Jungle” homeless encampments underneath I-5

Just one more sweep of the Jungle bro. This sweep is different. We’ll add razor wire and fences. Please bro just let the mayor send cops to the Jungle again. The encampments won’t come back this time. Please let us sweep the Jungle again bro it’ll work this time trust me.

What is Task about?

Simple formula. Each episode presents a new way to traumatize Maeve Prendergast.

Celebrated all time wife guy Tom Waits would never but if he did…end of the world.

Trump had never confronted a crisis he himself didn’t in part create. It was all theater till it wasn’t.

Man I resent the idea that New York needs to be unpleasant to live in to be authentic so much, it’s pervasive and it holds the city back in so many ways

I’m thinking about Adam Curtis going after Patti Smith in Hypernormalization for watching the city decay
with a cool detachment because it suited her aesthetics

We should aspire to make NYC as comfortable as any other city, its character isn’t formed by “toughing things out”, it’s formed by the people who move here to be around the other people who want to be around the people who live here, and a more affordable city means more cool people.

The end of ZIRP and the rise of a hot hiring market due to Covid stay at home spending was an existential moment for CEOs who saw their employees as serfs. So much so they decided to send the economy into a mountain so they could stop their employees from asking them annoying questions at all hands.

Dear Jeffrey,

Light bringer. Enigmatic Wanderer. Prodigious collector of souls. Perchance to assist me in crafting a mediation between myself and Ms. Serena Williams for a poetry reading to the nation?

Forever yours,

trump post: "THE CORRECT TERM FOR THE PRESIDENT IS EPHEBOPHILE NOT PEDOPHILE" - THE GREAT MARK LEVIN ON FOX NEWS

God Willing Laurie Anderson convinced Lou Reed that Jeff Epstein was an uptown drip and Lou decided to turn down the invite and do tai chi in Tompkins that day.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Wind rolls across, these torn up streets.

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal."

JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Breaking on MSNBC: Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed the Epstein discharge petition. She was the 218th signature — the final name needed.

Sam Altman famously only writes in lower case.

I hate to be that person. But the amount of ink, breath, and thought put into Hilary Clinton’s handling of an emails when there were emails from Jeffrey Epstein contemplating what the play would be for blackmailing Trump all the way back in 2011. Historic failure with generational consequences.

Heavens me. I’m aghast just thinking about the possibility that consequences could befall the *checks notes* General Counsel of Goldman Sachs.

"is the president of the united states currently being blackmailed by pedophiles" is a legitimate question with supporting evidence that needs to be investigated
