It's very striking how clearly they seem to see what's right in front of their faces in way that so many others -- law firm partners, university presidents, members of congress, and on and on -- refuse to.

Man, does it ever just hit you that, like we just didn’t have to do any of this (gestures broadly to everything)?

Yes, I’m aware building robots that can do your chores is insanely hard, as compared to making a genAI tool that can make pictures of five-boobed-ladies - which is why all those techbros who constantly masturbate to their own genius should stop fucking around and do something actually impressive

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Congress erupts at Trump's shutdown mass firings: "This is a disaster" Democrats are warning that Trump officials who carry out the layoffs could be prosecuted.

Oof.

Pro-CCP Christian nationalism is really something

What are we even fucking doing here?!? My god. My god.

AI HUCKSTER: "i built you a machine that reads books for you."

ME: "can you build me a machine that unloads the dishwasher for me so *i* can read a book?"

Yeah, but the way it’s seems to breaking through to some folks makes me think it might be a glonzo issue.

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone thinks its a bad idea to put massive solar factories in Nevada. Have you *been* to Nevada? It's completely inhospitable in all but a couple of places.

You can't farm there, you can't ranch there, you can't live there.

New Peace Prize just dropped.

Yes, but also when it is completely peaceful maybe more people will recognize the disconnect between their rhetoric and actual reality.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

Inside billionaire Peter Thiel’s private lectures: Warnings of ‘the Antichrist’ and U.S. destruction In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.

The only times that words like “deranged”, “lunatic”, “ranting”, or “raving” appear here are about this freak’s opponents.

I still can't believe a person who is responsible for healthcare in this country said out loud and meant it that a cause of autism is children getting circumcised. I still cannot believe that this is the country, the world, that I fucking live in

FROGS TOGETHER STRONG is fucking incredible

We are on the offensive for the first time this year, we're winning against this admin & people are acting like we're at the cusp of the Civil War crossed with the Enabling Act crossed with the Years of Lead. I am begging people to get a fucking grip.

Dire as the stakes are, leaning into absurdist and lighthearted forms of protest seems like a great way to puncture the fantasy Trump & co are spinning to attempt to rationalize a violent crackdown.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Obviously awful, but apparently the original poster later updated with the information that the women were not mothers picking up their children from that school.

Like a lot of things with RFK Jr if someone just said this to you and wasn’t in charge of medicine in America you’d go: ooooooookay and keep pressing the elevator button

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

"THEY WERE EVENTUALLY LET GO AFTER SHOWING THIER DOCUMENTS". In other words, they were pulled out of their cars for looking "Mexican".

Is no one else concerned about the giant horse around small children that's apparently part of what they envision as part our local mall's renovation plan?

they're gonna be so mad we have a better frog
