Ah, yes. Andrew Cuomo, who famously never traded on his wealth, privilege, or background and pulled himself up by his own bootstraps

There's a billion things wrong here, but one of them is that Andrew Cuomo is so rich he thinks unhoused people can afford a $2300 a month apartment

From what I understand Andrew Cuomo is angry that one of his opponents pays less rent than he does

Crazy how different a feeling you can get seeing American flags being waved for different reasons.

Just saw a video of a NASA control room celebrating getting close photos of Pluto after technical issues;

Very different feeling than a MAGA rally with red faced bigots waving the flag like weapons.

I didn't read it because I don't care. It's just AI and I had a simple question about a simple company. A simple nice answer would have been appropriate. It's SOCIAL media after all. Work on your fucking social skills. Anyway suck my big fat block.

OpenAI went ahead and enshittified ChatGPT, and here are some anonymized examples of why we shouldn't let ourselves rely - much less grow emotionally attached to - corporate products and especially LLMs. They are not your friends and you're purely a wallet.

The business geniuses at OpenAI are deliberately developing nonsense to boost their user numbers with people who only create an account to double-check if the nonsense they saw on social media is actually true

Lmao the chatGPT subreddit has a bunch of "OpenAI has lost my subscription" and "I'm DONE" posts since gpt5 got released. Very funny reading.

i think a reasonable question would be did openAI use their AI to create these charts, and if not, why not

and if so, lol

I do read books. Most other humans don't read books. So it's difficult to bounce philosophical ideas and questions off the average American dumb dumb. Got any more assumptions you need to vomit my direction? Otherwise fuck you.

This administration is sadistic. Even after 20+ years of honorable service isnโ€™t as good as kicking up a few bucks to the criminal in the White House.

Trump shredding the constitution in the middle of fifth avenue, MAGA silently watches on the sidelines.

The Library of Congress got caught quietly altering its online display of the Constitution, removing Sections 9 and 10 of Article I. Trump's least favorite sections which guarantees the right to challenge unlawful detention and requires the government to justify confinement.

Critics argue t...

The U.S. State Department officially supports El Salvadorโ€™s removal of presidential term limitsโ€”flashing a warning of whatโ€™s to come in America.

The Trump regime will likely attempt the same, with support from a complicit Congress and Supreme Court.

And when they do, we the people will fight back.

The trauma immigrant children carry from ICEโ€™s atrocities runs deep. Then folks wonder why our communities โ€œdonโ€™t progressโ€โ€”we do, despite being systemically traumatized. This is how marginalization works: hurt the children early, then blame the adults for the scars they were forced to carry. #Pinks

Under Trump, Student Labor Organizers Face New Challenges Anticipating a rollback of recent NLRB precedent, some unions have withdrawn petitions for recognition, looking for other paths to continue their work.

Student workers brace for a rollback of union rights under a Trump NLRB. Federal protections are at risk so theyโ€™re shifting to direct action and state-level advocacy to protect their power.

โ€œWe deserve to have an equal say in whatโ€™s happening with our own labor positions.โ€
