Olympics: It’s about daring to dream big…

USA:

It’s like there’s a whole cadre of the left who loves nothing more than being utter pricks to other lefties. It’s quite the phenomenon. Maybe it’s just a bluesky thing.

Fair, but I’m not rejecting their participation so much as expressing disbelief at the mindset.

Yeah, I’m perfectly fine with judging someone for being worried their dogs will be disturbed by the noise and not so much caring about people being tortured in concentration camps.

Gavin Newsom came to life when somebody fed a billboard for a personal injury attorney after midnight.

Empty Warehouses, Secret Deals: Insiders Poised To Profit From Trump’s Deportation Boom As the Trump administration hunts for massive detention sites, politically connected real estate brokers are lining up t

DHS has begun purchasing warehouses to detain tens of thousands of immigrants.

The big winners? Real estate brokers facilitating the deals stand to rake in millions — including one previously run by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and now run by his son.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Seconded.

I saw this nimby response to the Surprise AZ location and it’s honestly amazing how awful people are:

This 100%. They are masters of the talking-point. This is why the “I don’t know anything about it” response is levied so often on breaking news. It’s because they’re waiting to see what Trump’s talking point is.

Don’t forget kid-fucking. But then child
marriage is something the right has been pushing for years.

I like the passive language. “The blanket wasn’t moved.” Um…you
mean Noem forgot her blanket and fired the pilot for it?

Wow...you got to work with Matt Mercer?!?!

Exactly. It's just people talking 95% of the show. My parents love those, and I do NOT get them. They are so bad.

I don't know that the original is ACTUALLY good, but I loved it and Edward Woodward. I have no beef with Queen Latifah, really. I saw a bit of the remake and it's typical boring modern police procedural (aka people stand around an office looking at computers and spew expository dialogue). She's ok.

@sanders.senate.gov This article randomly came up today. Look for the warning signs from people building these things.

Anthropic AI safety researcher quits with 'world in peril' warning It comes in the same week an OpenAI researcher resigned amid concerns about its decision to start testing ChatGPT ads.

Anthropic head of AI safety quits, warning of "world in peril" & announces plan to study creative writing, as my college charges ahead in deal with Anthropic, which trained its tech on at least 25 books taken without permission from our Creative Writing faculty. www.bbc.com/news/article...

A fair point, but they remade The Equalizer with Queen Latifah, so nothing is sacred.

I haven’t had any issue with it yet. I find the icons and stuff are a bit small, particularly in carplay. So sometimes you search and see more than one result and you’re like I dunno…this one? Cuz the pics are too small to see the artist.

Best Weird Al Lullaby: Nature Trail to Hell

Screenshot of Tidal playing Mr. Popeil from Weird Al in 3D, aka the most old man weird al record.

I’m giving Tidal a try, because I dunno. Why not try to support a service not owned by a giant soulless megacorp and that actually pays artists.

So, I dunno…I guess you’re welcome @alyankovic.bsky.social .

Because it’s a National Monument operated by the US Parks Service.

If there’s a 700 dollar discount on a 100 dollar item then you would receive 600 dollars, not 800.

But otherwise, yeah. The man’s an idiot.

Obvious Follow-Up: Were the elections insecure and crooked when you were put in power, Mr. President?

Looking forward to the party that impeached Clinton saying this is no big deal.

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

Bernie…no.

AI is not only overhyped as a technological savior (it could wreck the economy and create a human slave class), but it may actually be incredibly dangerous as devs recklessly race to develop true hyper-intelligent machines without care for the consequences. Regulate the shit out of it.

Maybe I’m stupid, but seems to me the solution to a soft housing market is…I dunno…LOWER PRICES? This is a long overdue correction that needs to happen after housing prices exploded in 2020. Your 200k home isn’t inherently worth 500k just because that’s what it sold for 2 years ago.
