I can’t wait for the sketchy beat writer, goonish SDSU broadcaster, and dead-eyed eternal frat boy to cover this

For me it was Luis Arraez.

The sooner you realize there is no major party on the left, the better. One party wants to push the status quo to a devastating limit, the other wants the status quo and to have warm feelings about it. Both cater to billionaires

Remember when that guy was tweeting about shrimp tails in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Did General Mills have him killed or what?

The only Jewish person I know who does this is in favor of ICE policies, so conflating it with a bad thing that happened to his people doesn’t make sense to him

My latest for @arstechnica.com : a story about a Georgia college student who was told by ChatGPT that he was “an oracle.” (And a shout out to @mharrisondupre.bsky.social , who has been doing amazing work on these kinds of cases!)

Prosecuting the entire Epstein class and their enablers, including all law makers to the local level, taxing them out of existence and seizing their assets is the _moderate_ position and the Dems can’t even utter this because they helped set this all up.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

Remember how it’s acceptable in America to go as far to the political right into barbarism as the human mind can imagine, but going to the left of Joe Biden is anti-American

You see how this country has made change unfashionable, bravery inconvenient, and sticking up for others politically untenable
