This.

I'm also curious to know, step by step, just how Elon thinks his stupid robots are going to "solve world poverty" and, based on what he's already like, how on earth we will be able to tell "IF he goes insane" (quotes from a CNN article)

And it has to be actually useful!! Not just a cute new way to waste time, cause annoyance, charge people for something they currently get for free. 🙃

This is great news.

Ok but what if we invested in human intelligence

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

No but that's because its going to be problematic for the democrats' midterm chances. 🙄I don't make the rules.

pretty awesome how we sacrificed our constitutional rights in exchange for more expensive healthcare and food

But they are not SNAP customers if they are currently not receiving SNAP benefits...right? Also I thought the Party was so against government interference in business.

its so weird to me that people who think they're going to heaven when they die are currently going around saying the absolute most nasty, despicable, cruel things. Like what do you even think you're going to do in heaven, keep talking about how people need to get a job?

I think it must be because of Hunter Biden's laptop

YEP

No sympathy, but I will forgive them the moment they produce a detailed plan for how they're going to stop being such gullible numbskulls in the future. They have to lay off the propaganda AND find ways to start caring about other people. Otherwise, they'll just do it all over again in 5 minutes.

Saw a video a few days ago where a woman compared AI to a thneed and I can’t quit thinking about it…

Yes. And what an extremely low risk group to strike. They're not likely to starve to death.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge.

3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc.

Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Every. Fucking. Day.

Right?! I actually don't think he's capable of actual jokes or sarcasm. This isn't a funny man. He is 100% serious about everything that comes out of his mouth and we should start acting like it.

I think they moved away from the whole Antichrist thing when Trump checked every box. It's too uncomfortable to ask if a MAGA hat is the mark of the beast so they just started ignoring that part of the Bible. It's easy, they already ignore a lot of parts.

My comment was short and unclear. I know alarm is warranted about a bunch of things right now. But previous shutdowns have put the public into a very frog-in-pot situation, believing it is normal and being all "meh". It could drag on for quite a while before they get alarmed. And it's by design.

And we are so used to shutdowns....at what point is alarm warranted?

Those are real messages from a leaked GoP telegram group.

Mask off

Yep. We just let them get away with January 6. These threats are hollow.

Yes I live in the Midwest

Also traffic-related: just follow the signs & rules. Stop stopping and waving pedestrians through when they're waiting for appropriate time to cross. Stop waving people through who stopped at a four way after you did. Being TOO "polite" is a dick move and makes things more dangerous (& obnoxious).

And I'm glad a nationwide protest is coming up but I think we need to just stay there in shifts. One every FOUR MONTHS just isn't good enough.
