No one has flopped harder at being a Catholic than JD Vance.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Calling it now: the US political media's treatment of AOC is going to make their treatment of Hillary Clinton or Al Gore look like a model of balance and discretion.

I’m trying to find that one post that’s like “guys isn’t it weird how AI is bad at things I know a lot about and but good at stuff I don’t know a lot about”’ because that’s basically Bruenig talking about vibe coding.

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES.

This is extremely intentional.

If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”

imagine being a beautiful cow and ending up as a boxy, three-button USA flag sport coat with a collar gap and the bottom-most button fastened

Change your gender, become a poet, catapult yourself into the sun. There are no rules. You can do anything you want.

Yes, that’s why my family left Germany because they really wanted to go to Great Britain and sort of missed it by thaaat much

Our court system is largely working, with the exception of the most important court

A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

ICE has completely broken our social contract.

They manipulate social trust and are creating lasting damage to our most basic social foundations

me: "Politicians should persuade."

very serious commenter: "Why do you think Chuck Schumer should go to a Heated Rivalry dance party and get blackout wasted?"

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

Why keep thousands of people alive when you can instead make one man feel safe and special?

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Obviously terrible BUT I keep reminding myself that what has been undone can be redone. The science doesn't change, and eventually... EVENTUALLY... we will realign U.S. policy with the science.

food systems are the leading cause of deforestation and biodiversity loss on land, freshwater use, and overfishing, and the number two cause of climate change after energy use

Massive mission creep for ICE if they now see their actual job as going after community defense participants—and an alarming one considering they already murdered two such people.

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939

More than 500 private jets departed the Bay Area immediately after the Super Bowl ended

Can't be overstated how much the ultra wealthy are single handedly destroying the planet

relatedly, as happened during GWB's second term as well, it's weird how as the Republican president hits 30% approval, all of a sudden we get an enormous number of "conservatives" suddenly start self identifying as "libertarian" without changing their beliefs

Amazon / Ring using lost dogs as a way to get the public on board with massive corporate surveillance is diabolical.

Only one who got the ball into the end zone was Bad Bunny

I SCREAMED

while many of you are likely yelling “go patriots” or “go seahawks!” i’m yelling “go robert mueller and the rule of law!”

I'm going to win.

This is where editorial writers can add context, but which the Post chose not to, like:
*A majority GOP SCOTUS decided they could not block gerrymandering
*Dems push anti-gerrymandering bills in Congress but can't get pass b/c GOP think they can benefit. Change the calculus, maybe they change.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

Might be some mass blocking going on because I, too, am blocked by him (and don’t know who he is)
