Go to bed.

I liked Holes.

On a cheery pink background, the line: "this Purim I'm going to get so drunk that I can't tell the right-wing antisemites from the left-wing antisemites".

a (Jewish) friend just sent this to me and it has made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Happy Purim everyone!

it can be quite difficult to be a Jew, but at least we're fucking funny

You know that and I know that but the csuite doesn’t seem to.

My aunt worked for one company for over 40 years.

Sending good vibes.

I suppose the idea that our current government is run by a religious doomsday cult helps to square how they don’t believe they’re bound by laws. If I was certain the world was about to end, my relationship with consequences might also be a little different.

We’re replacing them with AI it’s not going great anywhere.

This piece is disturbing because it reads like a press release that had to include a bit of journalism in it. There’s virtually no critical analysis of the danger of what’s happening. The only mention of the word “law” is a UN quote.

On ER they crashed multiple helicopters on him iirc.

Scene from the Simpsons episode Kamp Krusty: LISA: I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO DIE, BART. BART: WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, LIS LISA: I MEANT SOON. BART: SO DID I.

It’s not a question of believing it though, it’s a question of thinking you can control these psychos forever like the GOP did. I’m not partnering up with the suicide cult with nukes that thinks total global annihilation would be a good thing.

What Rights Do AI Companies Have in Government Contracts? The Anthropic-Pentagon debate has produced a lot of commentary and very little procurement literacy. Can AI companies restrict government use of their technology? They do it all the time. Whether and ...

An actual expert on government contracts: “Contractors restrict the government’s use of their products all the time.”

Ben Thompson: “this insistence on controlling the U.S. military, however, is fundamentally misaligned with reality”

I just don’t know who to believe!

God it's so funny to watch these conservative reality-laundering online pundit assholes each get a turn at gazing into the void and actually momentarily seeing how awful they all are, before submerging again into the consent-manufacturing patter they've sold their souls to enrich themselves spewing.

The Israeli government doesn’t care. They think the Christofascists are useful idiots.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

This is, um, fine, right?

Thank you this just answered my other comment from earlier.

Goodnight everybody. Try to be less stupid in the morning.

People are yelling outside so I came on here to see if I missed it and nope. 🤷‍♀️

Tuxedo cat asking for belly rubs

Belly.

a good thing is when someone posts a picture of a cat, and then people reply with "great cat, here also is a picture of my cat." unsolicited cat pics aplenty. this could be the world we build

Man, I know the AP is hard up for cash, but man………………

And hopefully wouldn’t cause headaches.

At least it would be different.

I think the fact that so many people who dislike BlueSky are reposting a weird person making an unpopular and insane claim about Jamelle Bouie as a sign of some deeper trend is probably more telling than the weird and unpopular claim. Noah Smith suggests it is a cultural norm that enabled fascism.

If I could develop a stress response that is ANYTHING other than water leaking out of my eyes when I don’t want it to I’d appreciate it.

The best part is everyone hates us all the time.
