Thank you! I always like to be sure I’m not being a dumbshit (insofar as I can) by leaving room for what I don’t know.

WHY IS EVERY PAPER ON EARTH USING SCHUMER’S PICTURE WHEN HE LOST ON A PARTY-LINE VOTE??

THUNE IS THE FACE OF THIS, NOT SCHUMER.

I MEAN, COME ON.

Are the American flags backwards on uniforms or was AI trained on mirror selfies of people wearing them?

Don’t punish people for the behaviors you want to see.

And even if they do leave, fuck em. There is a belief that billionaires somehow magically create wealth rather than rightly being seen as parasites. Once the parasite leaves, the host body can thrive unimpeded by the unending hunger of said parasite. There is a reason they are here in first place.

On a completely unrelated note, aren’t steroids bad for the heart?

Agree. It’s fantastic and the horror elements are relatively mild.

It will hurt AI development? Now I want the tax to pass even more.

We all have a torch to carry that only we can carry. Our job is to carry it. Mitigating climate change is an extremely worthy torch. Something like 60% of emissions come from transportation. It’s a good fight worth having!

@edzitron.com I don’t know what this means in any real sense but it seems to support your arguments about the AI time bomb.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

I don’t mind a surgeon general open to psilocybin, so long as they also believe in MRNA vaccines and germ theory etc. The alt health realm has some okay concepts, it’s just when you extrapolate vibes into treatments we have a problem. Are shrooms good for PTSD? Likely. Covid? Not a fucking chance.

Trump Administration Allows Ranchers to Kill Endangered Mexican Wolf A newly revealed U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service document allows Catron County ranchers to kill any one endangered Mexican gray wolf who happens to be in the area of two grazing allotments near Quemado...

A recently released USFWS document permits ranchers in Catron County, NM, to kill any endangered Mexican gray wolf within two grazing allotments near Quemado.

Several wolf families are in the area, including a likely pregnant, genetically valuable female from the Elk Horn pack.

Tire-related chemical is largely responsible for adult coho salmon deaths in urban streams A team led by researchers at UW Tacoma, UW and Washington State University Puyallup has discovered a chemical that kills coho salmon in urban streams before the fish can spawn.

It’s the tires (too much transportation near rivers), not sea lions. Blaming them for existing in their own ecosystem while ignoring human activity seems stupid.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Could this possibly be because those selfsame tech/AI folks can’t really articulate what it is capable of?

Even the most polished LLM ads are little more than a slightly smarter Ask Jeeves or a roided out Siri.

We don’t know what AI is good for because neither do its creators.

They barely have reverence for humans, let alone animals. Just another transactional relationship, an accessory to support their internal narrative that they are, in fact, decent when every bit of evidence points to the contrary.

I read it as β€œbrooms for shrooms” and thought a cleaning service exclusively peopled with folks on psilocybin would make a fun reality show.

This guy is a professional boxer like I’m a professional point guard. He’s famous for squaring off against a senior citizen and then getting his jaw broken by an actual boxer.

They were running 5th string players and aren’t even in the game. Guess they deserve some salt in their eyes though, huh?

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Two tailors looking to sell more golf shorts than the other only to realize they are selling the same pair of shorts:
