It was trying to answer the carwash AI question that was on Bluesky yesterday, clearly
The longer I'm in this biz, the bigger fan I become of the lottery concept.
They really have gone to the Trump school of "reality is what we tell you, not what your own eyes see"
It's more likely it's someone in the Epstein files rather than someone of the general public...
Not surprised based on that time he married his very young student
TFW things are so bad/weird that you find yourself agreeing with Rand Paul
"These colors don't run"
Totally agree with you. It is "uhhhmmm the people we typically like did something and are saying things that our people tend not to like, so we don't really know what we should say here that will piss off the fewest people we rely on for gobs of money"
"Pete Hegseth might consider adding another task to his many duties, one that would be of immense help to the nation and to the armed forces: He should shut up."

Best thing about being an expat who doesn't earn enough to break the foreign-earned income exclusion is knowing not one of these people is funded by my taxes.
I wrote this as snark on reddit for just that reason
Yet Kyle Rittenhouse walks free, propped up for all to see
He showed up with a gun, and shot someone
The right will applaud, and get everyone to laud
He's free, you see, after spilling the red
The rest of us may as well be dead
There were a dozen set up for Jonathan Ross on the right, too. GoFundMe is going nuts with scam fundraisers at the moment
Mandatory voting hasn't achieved that. There are still extreme politicians in the Australian senate especially
Australian media is fairly RW-captured. But, the electoral system is not just compulsory and preferential. There is also:
1) Elections on saturdays, so easier for everyone
2) An independent electoral commission, so less gerrymandering
3) Parties get funds proportional to their electoral success
"run" is a massive assumption there
I'd prefer to see him as a senator. The senate democrats absolutely need someone like him to inject some fire, and I think the vulnerabilities listed here would not be as impactful in that race as they would for president
The czar needs to know what his minions are doing to us in his name
The Lost Cause myths are institutionalized at a DEEP level, even in places that are slightly more progressive in their history teaching. It's a huge source of the culture war BS that we are dealing with now.
Robert was spot-on with this monologue, but coming from the southern US, nothing was more true than what he said about the confederacy. My k-12 history education in Virginia was more or less 'the south did nothing wrong'. The brutality of slavery was barely mentioned, if at all. It's disgraceful
Even the Conservative subreddit, which is full-on MAGA, has a consensus that this is a bad, idiotic idea
Trump: "I may put a tariff on countries if they don't go along with Greenland because we need Greenland for national security"
The 'facts don't care about your feelings' people always have an abundance of feelings
Too many congresspeople, senators, and judges either seek to ride his coattails or are too terrified. We didn't drain the swamp, we flooded it.
The Mayor from Jaws is always a relevant trope to these sorts of conflicts
Ah, but those submarines....
Right in line with 'killing all humans COULD solve world hunger'
First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc?
He had no idea.
Keep asking those questions!
