I love that the downfall of this country is going to be gambling. I guess the Christians were right.

Democrats Need a Post-Trump Plan. Here’s One That Works. Holding the powerful accountable for their crimes is the only way out of this mess.

America simply cannot afford to allow the bandits, propagandists, and sadists who’ve been running this administration to simply slide back into positions of power and privilege from which to plot their next fascist takeover. trib.al/8sGYqSU

the people who love AI books are the same management types in every industry who see $$ and nothing else

and in the scammers and grifters who are AI's most fervent boosters in every area, they're there in books too

But the rest of us? Writers and readers? Absolute violent loathing for the slop.

me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers

i am still straight up not convinced it creates β€œefficiency.” I would be easily convinced, however, that it creates more output for the same amount of input

Reminder that the Pentagon press corps is a bunch of online ideological cronies like Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz. Now, they won't even allow neutral photographers.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as β€œpointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

"This probably sounds like nightmare fuel to many, but to wealthy VCs and AI and crypto entrepreneurs it’s the next gold rush." is the quote of our time

trump’s biggest superpower is the ability to tell his most ardent supporters what idiots they are for believing his promises and knowing they’ll just say β€œplease sir can i have another”

If this keeps up, threat of boycott of World Cup in US will become pretty serious: hard to get people to come to country that is destabilizing world with wars of stupidity AND is notoriously tossing visitors into concentration camps. Regardless, our tourist industry is smoked.

if only someone, perhaps even several people, with memories longer than goldfish, had seen this coming and been yelling about it for a few years now

Game companies keep making extraction shooters because they hope to create an entire esports gambling ecosystem around them, which they can then use to lure whales who'll drain their accounts into micro transactions and gambling

remember when the previous OpenAI board tried to fire Altman, saying he was a lying little shit with all sorts of dodgy financial conflicts of interest?

and how the tech sector and access tech journalism dismissed them as hyperbolic liars?

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

trump has numbed me to a lot of things but the lack of fucking respect will never stop galling me

"Kamala ran a PERFECT campaign!"

My sibling in Christ, she spent a million dollars putting her face on the Vegas sphere.

If Corporate Media reported honestly & aggressively on Trump’s mix of corruption & incompetence & cruelty & authoritarianism, if they had been honest about what his polices would do to US rather than pretended their was legitimate debate: Harris would have crushed Trump.

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.

Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

Unfortunately, β€œYo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

This is an apt way to describe it and I feel like I see this too: the wealthy tech workers/leaders acting like we're in this new Renaissance of tech and code and regular folks foregoing upgrades year after year due to cost being not worth the upgrade (if ever).

There's at least one! citationneeded.news And I'm completely independent and reader-funded.

Here's some background on Justin Sun, as well as details of his pending lawsuit against Bloomberg for publishing details of his wealth that he himself provided them: www.citationneeded.news/justin-sun-b...

It's not technically illegal to cover yourself in KY jelly and squirm around on the floor screaming "I am the Worm Lord" but it's still something that can cause an issue in the community.

It's all fun and games until MarkWayne meets his nemesis, JackBob, and gets assimilated into his mass.

The world is not ready for a fully powered up MarkWayneJackBob to appear on the scene

lol, just finished calltime and saw that Noem got fired WHILE she was giving a live press conference, and that just sums up the casual cruelty and incompetence of this administration in a nutshell

I loved this show very very much a long time ago

it is long past time to let it (and certainly Whedon and Baldwin) fade away
