Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Poll of Labour's decline

Poll of Labour's decline

The Labour Party has haemorrhaged support since its landslide victory in July 2024 and now attracts only around one-fifth of support among voters, a new low for a governing party in Britain.
The Conservatives, Britain's centre-right, are just
i smidgen behind them in the polls. Retorm UK. a hard-right party, is leading the polls-almost a third of respondents said they would vote for the anti-immigrant outfit led by Nigel Farage. How will the scandal affect the polls? Explore how voters in Britain's key electoral groups are responding to the political merry-go-round below.

Dems may very well win elections in 2026 and 2028 regardless of policy are (again, sometimes being Not Trump is enough to win). But following Labour's drift to the right strategy will result in people hating Dems even more and electing fascists in 2030/2032. www.economist.com/interactive/...

I just imagine them painting a new one across town, giggling to themselves as they work

I like to imagine that whoever is painting those things on the ground is having a sensible little chuckle about the success of his or her hijinks

I mean we're also seeing the proof of the old theory that the massive asymmetry in missile defense vs offense costs is just always going to tell in any extended conflict

My almost 3 year old daughter has an imaginary cat named Pickles. Dropping her off at the gym daycare, she mentioned Pickles and I clarified that Pickles is a cat.

The workers all looked like they were both relieved and enlightened.

They must have thought she had imaginary pickles, the food.

Christofascism is a far-right ideology merging fascist, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political doctrines with Christian theology, aimed at imposing a specific religious, cultural, and political order.

the fact that this happens from time to time is why oligarchs are much more invested in destroying newsmedia, or convincing you NO media has any credibility, than in building trusted conservative newsmedia

It is hilarious when we get these glimpses into the minds of which conservatives actually thought there was a morally consistent project, just the dumbest rubes in the industry

Comic. PERSON 1: I got 10,000 amp service and put each outlet on its own 500 amp breaker, so I never have to worry about overloading a circuit again! PERSON 2 with ponytail: Clever. PERSON 1: Oh, that reminds me–Do you know where to buy cords that don’t catch fire?

A particular disease of the centrist mind is to conflate "left wing" and "right wing" with partisan affiliation which is not actually how it works
