Gee, I wonder why New Yorkers picked this man over the guy with a public record of harassing women.

Congratulations to the Cuomo team: it takes a lot of dedication and money to lose one election twice.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

can we all at least agree that no one should ever be criticized for any reason

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

i really like watching sports

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

Thank you, Senator Warren.

Nigel Farage admits he was wrong to say he had bought house in Clacton Reform UK leader says he should not have claimed he was buyer of property that was really bought by his partner

This just doesn’t seem a sustainable account.

Planet Rugby have published more than twice as many articles about the Freedom Cup game this weekend in the last 24 hours than they have about the 2025 World Cup since it started. Perhaps time they changed their name to Planet Men's Rugby.

sam altman tweet: i never took the dead internet theory that seriously but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM-run twitter accounts now

These guys are simply not smart.

My coworkers are starting to COMPLETELY rely on ChatGPT for anything that requires troubleshooting And the results are as predictable as you think. On the easier stuff, sure, here's a quick fix. On anything that takes even the slightest bit of troubleshooting, "Hey LegOz, here's what ChatGPT says we should change!"...and it's something completely unrelated, plain wrong, or just made-up slop.

Oof, the sycophancy problem in LLM's + triggering on any irrelevant details you feed them, recently led a P2 problem call down the wrong pathing for hours.

The chatbot is never going to TELL you to step back and ask if this entire inquiry is irrelevant to larger goal.

This is your moat. It's mine.

Even if X was broadly demographically representative of the UK population (and it’s possible given that historically it used to skew so socially liberal) Musk and the algorithms now boost far right content so much that it’s not a reliable barometer of mainstream opinion.

the fuck

The Epstein files are on Pam Bondi's desk right now but also they do not exist but also they do exist and were written by Obama and Hillary when Epstein died in 2019 when the president was
Donald Trump.

Finally, someone has the guts to say it out loud. And listen to the immediate applause! Telling indeed.

Asked about how people were notified in Kerr County so that they could get to safety, Judge Rob Kelly, the county's chief elected official, said: “We do not have a warning system.” When reporters pushed on why more precautions weren't taken, Kelly said: “Rest assured, no one knew this kind of flood was coming.” Popular tourism area prone to flooding The area is known as “flash flood alley” because of the hills’ thin layer of soil, said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, which was collecting donations to help nonprofits responding to the disaster.

No one could've imagined that a region known for flooding would experience a flash flood! There's no reason to listen to NWS or to have an alert system.

Texas: no taxes, no responsibility.

having cuomo beat mamdani was much more important than just 1 election, for the democrat old guard. they wanted to point to his loss as a reason to never run on more progressive policies (never mentioning the millions of dollars they spent trying to beat him, of course) i hope they're scared today

GrokChecker • @GrokChecker1 •1h @grok since 2016 has the left or right been more violent? Grok •Xl @grok•1h Since 2016, data suggests right-wing political violence has been more frequent and deadly, with incidents like the January 6 Capitol riot and mass shootings (e.g., El Paso 2019) causing significant fatalities. Left-wing violence, while rising, especially during 2020 protests, is less lethal, often targeting property. Surveys show both sides increasingly justify violence, reflecting deep polarization. Right-wing attacks account for most deadly incidents, per reports like Reuters and GAO. However, biases in reporting may skew perceptions. Both sides contribute to a growing cycle of unrest, and precise attribution remains contentious due to varying definitions of violence. grok.com Elon Musk 9 X & @elonmusk Subscribe Major fail, as this is objectively false.

Grok’s going to get one of Musk’s updates again. Can’t wait to see what conspiracy theory it just repeats nonstop this time.

Needless to say, that is not a crime - except in the mind of a fascist

i get confused when i see the opinion that people on bluesky don't get jokes. were people on twitter good at getting jokes. i don't remember that

Oh thank goodness the police have confirmed he's white.

Rioting and burning of hotels containing foreigners wouldn't be appropriate then.

Of course if the police refuse to release the ethnicity of a suspect in the future we'll just have to assume they aren't white and ....

What a mess.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK ‘manifesto’ branded "unserious" and "unhinged" The Economist has called Farage’s economic plans "a disaster"

#Reform do not have workers' interests at heart, no matter how they try to con the poorest in society. They only have the interests of multimillionaires at heart. Except they don't, because when they crash the economy we'll all be a lot poorer.
