if you announce that you're breaking up with Nicole Kidman because she wanted too much sex you need to do it at a press conference where you're in a full body cast. just a little slit in the head area where a pair of wild, haunted eyes are staring out

Bari Weiss's career is nearly everything wrong with American journalism. She is its suppurating soul made manifest. If a million people hate her guts, I am one of them; if she has but ten sworn enemies, I am of them; if there is nobody left to relentlesly speak ill of her, than I am dead

Thinking of AI as a Social Problem No need to know the unknowable. The knowable is bad enough.

It takes no special technical expertise to know that
1) AI's main value proposition today is automating labor,
2) AI is going to supercharge economic inequality, and
3) If we do not get out in front of that policy-wise, we are fools.

The virgin try-hard literary epigraph: Borges quote, followed by Kant quote, followed by Sabrina Carpenter quote

The chad Pynchon epigraph:

The grand unified “Everyone is Twelve” theory is a legit contribution to contemporary thought and critique. We really are ruled by evil adult children!

I’m mounting the fastest steed in the land so I can light the signal fires with all due haste. The Realm must know about my trash dick

The conventional wisdom is that if you can't satisfy your beautiful famous wife, you should keep that shit to yourself. But me, I'm different. I can't wait to tell all the newspapers about it

Please mark your calendars, The 24-Hour Horror Movie Mind Melter is happening on October 11th, 2025 @ 11:00 AM (est)

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Post about the new theory of America "everyone is twelve now"

Alright, folks, pack it in, nominations are closed, the recipient for this year's Golden Jamiroquai award has been selected

I’m not keen on jumping ship just yet but if this place goes belly up I’m not going back to the mechahitler app. I’ll just go live behind the walls of the internet and play a pipe organ all day like the phantom of the opera.

I just updated my website to include ALL 60+ of my cover illustrations for @dohmancedawn.bsky.social! I'll be posting all future D'ohmance cover updates to this thread going forward! Here are 4 of my favorites! Check em out!!

I feel like the odds are good that we shouldn't worry about "there'll be no elections in 2028" so much as we should worry about "they'll do January 6 again but this time they'll actually go all the way with it." It's the right combination of lazy and malevolent to just redo the siege all over again

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

Modified Trump tweet - The Bluesky company is not happy with me -- that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage

Fred Flentstone stands, hands on his hips, looking incredulously at Barney Rubble, who is at the corner of the panel barely visible. He appears to wearing tiny sunglasses. "C'mon Barn, what's with the getup? and what is that on your head?" Fred asks. "oh this, Fred?" We now see Barney is also wearing a black trench coat and smoking a cigarette. A small bird is taped to the side of his head. "Just the latest in cybernetic enhancement technology- wired right into my brain." The background dissolves and Barney stands next to a free floating diagram of a human body with several small birds going into it and says "we're entering a new age, Fred- the synthesis of man and machine as one flesh. This is the future. It's hack or be hacked." Fred looks incredulous. The bird pecks Barney. Barney puts his hands on his head and screams "the machines are turning against us! We have built God only for him to destroy us!" as the bird continues to peck at him.

rise of the machines

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

Someone told him that a jungle is just a really wet forest and he refuses to believe that ANYTHING can get that wet

i’m willing to bet that like 90% of the “ai has a soul and it’s bigotry to treat a being different just because it’s not human” people eat meat

You just know that as soon as they said Junglepussy in this movie Ben suffered some violent Nam style flashbacks about the WAP Incident

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.”

your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

Look at those eyebrows, man. Did he Groucho those things on his face?

"A.I." is the tool of and the prevailing aesthetic of fascists leading to a world devoid of meaning or art.

ME WITH A TIME MACHINE IN 16TH CENTURY GENEVA: Where's John Calvin? *smacks baseball bat on open palm* I just want to talk to him

Unproductive? You gotta go. Living a suboptimal existence? Welcome to a new life as someone else's catfood. If you can't be of use to the shareholders, better learn to dodge drone strikes, buddy. Oh, you just want to BE? You want to live and let live? How's that gonna juice our quarterly numbers?

Thinking a lot about the Frans van der Groov section in Gravity's Rainbow lately where the colonist goes on a frenzied killing spree to wipe out the dodo birds because their ugliness & (most damning of all) "uselessness" is an affront to God. Possessing no value worth extracting is the ultimate sin
