Is it really in the best interest of the American people to support OpenAI when our tax dollars could be propping up a far more racist chatbot like Grok?

I remember that it was so not controversial that they actually oversold the show (maybe some people snuck in?) and a few people were sitting in the aisles. We had to go to a different showing.

bluesky normies have evolved to be ten times more deranged than the og bluesky sickos, and they manage it without alf hog. fuck around in aaron rupar's replies and the guillotines come out real fast.

predator: badlands sitting at 90% on rotten tomatoes is another win for the theory that the way to make inevitable 80s reboot slopfests work is to fully turn them over to one auteur and let him or her cook for a decade

Dan Trachtenberg is doing frankly insane numbers with Predator films.

It's saying something when his 90% fresh Predator movie is actually his lowest rated work.

The thing with young voters is that it takes either a national existential crisis, or a generational candidate to turn them out.

But this isn't their problem to solve β€” it's on the Democratic Party to figure out how to turn them out reliably.

Never fear: Hakeem and Chuck are on the case.

Damn, it's really hard to say anything relatively neutral about these guys without it sounding like an endorsement.

"OK on paper" = keep the US safe, protect US interests, etc.

"bad ways of achieving that" = everything from Jan. 20, 2001 – Jan. 20, 2008

In light of Dick Cheney's untimely passing (it came way too late), I think a lot of the neocons fall into the category of having actual values and beliefs, just bad ones β€” or at least very bad ways of achieving outcomes that might seem OK on paper (tbf, I might not even put Cheney in this group).
