Jean-Luc Picard as Locutus of Borg but there is like a weird six pack plate coming up from the groin I never noticed before

Okay but why does the Borg hive mind need him to have a six pack plate?

I think its bad the elites and pundits of the world stick up for the most rancid conservative people but belly ache that blue haired lesbians in Portland existing is causing Democrats to lose

to be fair as an american i'm always surprised to discover things that would be in the US under local or state jurisdiction being national issues in the UK. like i seem to recall one of corbyn's manifesto promises being no more parking charges at NHS facilities

(this is also literally who labels the training data.)

anyway my theory remains that genai is a keynan man with two PhDs who wears a suit to work, and you are a client of some kind whom he must be polite to. this makes the entire llm register stop seeming weird

thinking as i often do about the poem @davidmalki.com read at The Internet Read Aloud composed entirely out text from Jeb! fundraising emails, during which he noted "ted cruz never asked for less than $50" bsky.app/profile/ajax...

i would not vote for him in a primary but i have to say i find it agreeable that a guy went on TV and said "i don't think people in the military should obey illegal orders" and then assessed the reaction he got from that and thought "maybe i should run for president"

“why is the us government posting racist franklin the turtle memes?” I dunno man, hadn’t noticed. seems like you’d have to go out of your way to see that kind of thing. did you know you can look at pornography online

Menace level high

gotta say i assumed that my status as a newly situated arizonan (despite not having even registered to vote yet!) was the reason i was getting these texts, but if everyone is ..... folks .......... he's running

Mark Kelly here from another burner phone, I got your number motherfucker - you think you can just keep blocking me lol?

The Bic corporation was started by one man who needed to shave, write something down, and set something on fire at the same time

Right about now, the honk shoo brother

crucially the international community did not ever recognize the territory armenia controlled after the first war as armenian, if you lose territory that has been internetionally recognized as your you essentially never have to get over it

they won the war in the '90s, azerbaijan did not get over it, and then lost two wars in 2020 and 2023, then signed a treaty acknowledging it

anyway my point is not to be pedantic, it's to say that kosovo is a de facto and more or less de jure independent country today not bc the serbs "got over it" but bc the international community decided that the serbs weren't allowed to rule it anymore, and have stuck by that decision

you could also make the case that iraq did in the sense that the post 2003 govt probably does not claim kuwait anymore

i think armenia might be one of the few

serbia is in fact notorious for getting browbeaten into agreeing to normalize relations with kosovo or at least not veto other countries or orgs from normalizing relations with it and then doing fun bits like this

few countries post WWII have accepted having lost a war less than serbia has!!!!

chuck schumer quoting bill maher saying "palestinians should just accept that they lost the war, the way the serbs accepted that they lost kosovo" is a sentence custom-designed to turn me into the joker

the republic of serbia, which has famously "gotten over" the independence of kosovo,

apartment building with wrought iron fence adorned by a row of creepy Santa masks as if they are heads on pikes

the severed heads of Santas displayed as a warning to others who would spread yultide cheer

the president is not an elected sovereign. he does not speak for the people or embody their will, he merely represents them. if he wants to change the constitution, let him make his case.

also, let’s say wurman is right. well, we have had nearly 160 years of unlimited birthright citizenship that has been affirmed again and again by generations of Americans. whatever the original intent, that is what the birthright clause *means*.

A tweet that reads "As @NYCMayor-elect, @ZohranKMamdani shouldn't have to hold his own umbrella. Zohran's team likely decided he seems more humble holding it himself and used a transparent umbrella to light him better and avoid him looking even more sinister on camera."

Zohran is such a monster. Not only does he use a clear umbrella but he HOLDS IT HIMSELF

Classic sexism is returning to public life. Here, Joe Lonsdale dismisses Claire Lehmann - despite her long heterodox publication record - as a "leftist schoolmarm", just because she's a woman. It's stupid & dumb to dismiss a speaker's opinions just because of their identity.

"but i was a based heterodox thinker" seems to be the rallying cry of the reactionary centre when encountering actual Schmittian politics

i mean obviously f scott was not a communist or anything and loves the lifestyle, so the text is not a polemic, but also its insane that anyone's takeaway from the book is "you know who's cool and should be emulated? the dead fraud in the swimming pool"
