“Three seasons” remains my bet. From parts of this article, raising my scepticism from “have these people worked with child actors before?” to “have they met a child?”

They are addicted to a shitty, half-assed cyberpunk aesthetic that keeps startup devs, VCs, and early adopter superfans in a toxic codependent relationship that formed due to the collapse of a functioning tech-media relationship and the rise of cryptocurrency scamming as a vocation.

ac long island would be amazing

You can tell the world has gone to shit because last time I was at the dentist the hygienist asked me if I was regularly flossing and I said that I only do it sometimes and she was like yeah that’s fine I don’t really care

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

I think one of the things that confuses people about LLMs is that what they're very good at is stuff that we don't associate with computers - language and bullshitting - and what they're bad at is stuff that we do - logic, fact, counting.

I always preferred the Dead Rernedys

Bopping around NY rn & I'm reminded once again that what conservatives loathe most about most major US cities is that they are living proof that ppl of diverse backgrounds/cultures/etc can successfully live alongside each other & like & benefit from that. It proves the lie of their entire worldview.

one of the great tragedies of our age is how many people are willing to view AI as magic because they don't understand how it functions but unwilling to exhibit any humility at all towards more important things they understand even less (like the climate or medicine)

It’s been very interesting to see which of my former Post colleagues opted not to take the buyout.

apropos of nothing: I don't think current AIs are owed any more deference or compassion than a doll. However, you would be suspicious of someone that seemed to revel in being verbally or physically abusive to a doll

Kid: You put the grill together?

Me: I did

Kid: Didn’t it say on the box it takes two people?

Me: It did.

Kid: …

Me: But I did it alone.

Kid: So basically you’re proud of not following directions

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened."

It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

appropriate that the calvinists are now moving toward a vision of god as tyrannical leader of a cult of personality

Modern Russia (and WW2 Germany) is what happens if you don't help them back up after they aren't a threat anymore. Modern Germany and Japan are what happens if you do.

Ender's Game also includes an important lesson which we have forgotten - it is essential to kick your enemy while he is down and finish him off so he is never a threat in the future. We did not do this in this country in 2021, and we have suffered the entirely predictable consequences

democrats are going to be dealing with anti-trans hate until they either

- nut the fuck up and defend these people from bigoted attacks

- concede to every republican attack on the issue, inevitably leading to the total eradication of trans people from all public life

literally the only 2 options

“there are a dozen or so trans kids playing high school sports, this is not an issue that affects you and its time we start asking why the guy who has repeatedly bragged about being sexually attracted to children wants to look at your kids genitals” is an entirely true thing you can say!

“youre goddam right im for ‘they/them’ theyre americans arent they?”

its really not that hard to flip this shit right on its head if you actually want to

There's no rule that says a golden retriever can't play quantum physics!!

The retribution part comes only IF you win some power. And winning power only comes by creating that groundswell of support (unless you’re on the right and have billionaires pulling strings for you)

If you’re unfamiliar with the humility and tenacity required to organize, it’s a lot

Return of the Cmonmacques @cmonma... • 4mo Cmonstermack @cmon... • 44m Little known fact about the general from the general car insurance is that he once slapped around a soldier suffering from ptsd, called him a coward and sent him to the front. No amount of savings can make up for that imo GENERAL. INSURANCE Triball @triball.bsky.social • 1m Do You know when? Which year? Cmonstermack @cmonmack.bsky.social It was during wartime. msmuffet6754.bsky.social @msmuffet6... • 4mo "During War Time", is not proof.

….Like it or not, the election of the next Dem president is going to at least in part — in certain key swing states — be fueled by people who make the same determination, but in the opposite direction

If you have contempt for him and his partner because they couldn’t see that what was going to obviously happen would happen, fine. But Trump became a phenomenon for the past decade in no small part because of voters who believed they made a mistake and swung from Obama twice to trump…

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.

Reminder, again, that, yes, while the DOGE-ing was juvenile & clueless, it is vitally important to remain focused on the fact that these people need to be arrested, prosecuted, & sent to jail for a very long time for illegally & unconstitutionally dismantling the federal government.

I think the actual lesson of Cuomo is that he almost won anyway despite NYC being a left friendly electorate, Cuomo a disgraced sex pest failure and running one of the worst campaigns in history, because the media propped his candidacy up. A good measure of how much power the anti-left media has!

i'm pretty sure if you expressed this sentiment to a medieval monk they would hold a heresy trial
