Senator Menendez is sitting in his cell at Allenwood right now because he took a 1kg gold bar from the Egyptians, among other forms of “lobbying.”

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

‘Sure, having health insurance was nice, but caving to a 79 year-old drug addicted, sexual predator who wipes his diapered ass with feckless Democrat leadership? Priceless’

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

to be clear, this is not just a problem with ChatGPT or AI in general, but a corporate and regulatory climate so bent on inflating value and so immune from consequence that the human cost is just a rounding error. Monstrousness is not just inevitable; it’s required.

OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Higher education is exactly the same.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I seem to remember whole congressional hearings about the terrible destructive force that is violence in video games and yet, there is a very strange quiet about an unregulated technology that coaches people to suicide.

The only thing that could make this day better is if Dick Cheney kicked the bucket.

Oh, wait.

one year and everyone is so sick of your boy that Virginia is starting to look like Massachusetts and a democratic socialist won a million votes in NYC, get fucked

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

Mamdani has won more votes than there are people in South Dakota.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

reminder that Hitler never wrote a new German constitution, never "officially" changed the government

he just closed the legislature and ruled alone, against the law, until he was stopped

“oh policy isn’t keeping pace with new technology” ………

what’s happening is the new technology is keeping pace with policy ..

policy is women, immigrants, Black people, etc don’t matter, shouldn’t be heard and are kept out

only people who understand “super special technology” should be heard

If a democratic Speaker had refused to call the House into session for OVER A MONTH there would be wall to wall coverage on all networks.

What the fuck is wrong with our media

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

I sincerely know less than nothing about this nba gambling ring dealio. I do know that in a moment when powerful mostly white men are stealing from everybody at scale and with breathtaking gall, it’s odd that these are the faces I’m seeing.

One of the cleverest things that Trumpists figured out is that you don’t have to kill an institution if you can make it kill itself.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves.
If you worked at Aldi and posted a video of you pouring shit all over Aldi customers, you wouldn't work at Aldi.

A small group of well-off people get upset that the government is offering financial assistance to people hurt in a financial meltdown? PATRIOTS WE MUST HEED

Thirty times that number upset that the president has sent armed troops into their cities, shut down the government and robbed it blind? MEH

Didn’t take a whole lot of photos today but a great day today in NYC. #nokings #nokingsday #democracy

Demagogic president seizes money to pay standing army, arrogating to himself legislative power, while his cronies keep Congress out of session is honestly more or less exactly how the Founders thought this would end

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
