What’s more likely: we invented human consciousness by feeding Reddit posts to a Python script, or you’re being fooled

*guy who mixes up Iran and Israel* oh so you don’t believe Iran has a right to defend itself?!?!

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Just realized that with Abolish ICE at +11, it's polling over 30 percentage-points ahead of Trump approval. Guess that means if the media wants to be representative, it should give at least like 40% more airtime to people who support abolishing ICE to Trump supporters

Another piece of mine relevant again! I am looking forward to when this stops happening.

The NYT is a right wing rag because they published obvious lies fed to them directly by the George W Bush administration.

Feeling bad for people who get overcharged for being accessories to crime is not even in the same stratosphere as trying to get me to feel bad for people who go blow up people overseas for money and no consequences and then become our congresspeople and senators and make kids do it again

if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

Can think of nothing more cowardly than pressing a button to shoot a missile that will land dozens or hundreds of miles away. Little bottle of water next to your desk. "Yes sir" and all that shit. Walking around saluting each other. Fucking losers. Killers.

My piece is relevant yet again, sadly

the system - or maybe you could call it a scheme? - only makes sense if new money flows in

One of the best uses for AI is vanity companies that don’t actually do anything and only need to exist so the owner feels like they are in charge of something

Extremely embarrassing for the AP to basically reprint a press release from Josh Shapiro. “The nation’s most prominent Jewish politician” really gives it away, as he’s at best a distant third behind Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer.

Never forget that it was more important for Democrats to support Israel’s genocide than to keep Trump out of power

So it's ok to start a war illegally against a nation of 92 million, for whom you have "no sympathy" as long as the purpose is clear?

The Big Dem line that Trump is a demented fascist domestically while simultaneously agreeing his foreign policy decisions just isn't gonna cut it anymore.

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

The fact that so many billionaire Californians are each dedicating tens of millions of dollars to fighting a proposed wealth tax — rather than using those funds to pay the tax — demonstrates just how much play money they have and evidences the extent of their delusional entitlement
