I don't know how any government that expects to be taken seriously let's this kind of thing go unpunished.

Succinctly put.

I thought this already proved the point that reality can't live up to memory.

Remember when everyone said the Trump pee pee tape couldn't be real because he's supposedly a germaphobe?

Consider this:

DNC should put this up as a mural in their offices to remind them to get over their bullshit and support candidates people actually want.

I never believed in the concept of an “Alpha male” until now.

Reminder, Trump claimed he was worth $10 billion in 2015, ten years ago.

I feel like bluesky and old Twitter should have been wall to wall sonets. It's a perfect medium.

Do kids not write sonets to their crushes anymore???

Is the TV show "The Rainmaker" worth watching?

It looks kinda stylized and fun, but I'm also a lawyer so law shows tend to make me ...angry.

No no no, that's not correct. They know their target audience.

And, it's a whole thing. There are cute, post length responses that you'll undoubtedly get, but it's more substantial than that and worth doing actual research, if you're genuinely interested.

And, just sitting down and noodling on it will feel satisfying, but it will also be incomplete.

Extraction, concentration, and exploitation isn't just repugnant, it's undermines economic activity and grinds things to a halt, hurting everyone.

Why not immediately? Would there be some self-serving reason to sit on her hands for a couple months?

I think it's a bluesky problem that often when I link out to an article, when i come back bluesky reloads, meaning the post disappears into the scroll and I'd have to go find it to comment.

That kills engagement and makes me less likely to click links.

"crypto holders have to liquidate"

Liquidate.

That's funny. I thought it was a digital currency and therefore already liquid.

Boring.

Lesson: Trump wants to hang out with cool kids more than anything.

Trump will settle for power, but what he really wants is to be liked. He just doesn't know how to do it other than by bullying so he's a bit awestruck by those with natural charisma.

A fair part of that was nerds from the East Coast teaching farmers how to farm. Most of which big agricultural and industry has spent 50+ years undoing. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

I like the consistent structure of the replies. Definitely channeling top trollers. They, along with entry-level coders, may be the first to be full replaced by Ai.

The Future in here.

Bubbles keep going until they pop.

I don't know how saying that this isn't more bubble makes it not more bubble.

Their product is integral to and bought primarily by Ai companies. That's bubble stuff.

Funny line: Of course I'm drunk, what do you think I'm driving for? I'm unable to walk.

Cheater.

Uh oh, the "it's just math" ideology has hit the VP.*

*I threw up a little remembering that Vance is VP

The "bubble actually good" phase has begun!

I'm not even going to look at the replies but I'd bet my eye teeth that if you've never seen the whale getting blown up with dynamite in Oregon before, it's in there. Check it out.a guy's brand new car got crushed by whale debris falling from the sky.

The replies here are interesting. I can't tell if it's the Elon stan crowd or something else, but the core argument is the same as defenses of Ai generally, which amounts to "people suck" which makes one wonder if they fundamentally want to get rid of all people because what's the point of them?

Oh, Grok.

This shit is hilarious. Yeah, yeah. Let's trust Ai. What could possibly go wrong?
