Dear god why are you cursing me with this knowledge. I had a low enough esteem for my fellow Americans already.

Turns out that you don’t need to make a computer that can pass the Turing test. You just need humans to start failing the Turing test.

Joke’s on you. We have no rational actors in charge. If they cared about economic conditions (or anything else besides their own venal and malevolent urges) they wouldn’t have started the war in the first place.

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.

A Trump Order Protected a Weedkiller. And Also a Weapon of War.

Poisoning Americans to facilitate the incineration of civilians abroad.

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.

Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.

What’s their 16mm setup? Do they have one in the booth or do they have portables they set up in the auditorium?

My alltime favorite was the lady who tried to order tickets for Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by requesting “three dogs for Miss Pet Pee.”

Our highest failure rate was for Synecdoche, New York. Lots of “Schenectady,” lots of SIN-uh-dōsh, lots of blank stares from folks too confused to attempt it.

David Ellison Unveils Sweeping Vision for Warner Bros: “This Is About Reinventing the Business” HBO Max and Paramount+ will be merged when the deal closes, the mogul told Wall Street early Monday morning.

yes, nothing says "innovation reinvention" like a nepobaby trust fund brat with no meaningful experience being gifted a massive hollywood empire by his technofascist dad, who leveraged his corrupt influence over the country's pudding-headed autocrats to box out competitors (?)

Cool name for a security company… unless you have any knowledge about the Praetorian guard assassinating and scheming against the emperors they were supposed to protect. 😂

Still very bad for the industry, but maybe a little less very bad.
