There's something off about O'Connell. Can't put my finger on it but...just off.

Speaking as a farm kid here - automation and efficiency in the ag sector is no different than any other: it leads to mega consolidation. My dad and his brother farmed 1700 acres at their peak 20 years ago. Similar arrangements now are 5000+ acres. These people are not family farmers.
Us lefties in red states know this strategy as "trying to win in a red state".
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.
A kinder, gentler world.
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Rahm Emanuel should be catapulted into the sun
Writing my dissertation in 2012, I got monumentally stuck for like two months. Couldn't get anything done.
Then, I started ripping a bowl every morning before my walk to my office because, what could that hurt? and... it's like it wrote itself. Cannabis is my silent partner in academic excellence.
It's not good for men to never dream.

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
My future history of the US is that a pro-democracy, leftish coalition has some success, especially on safety net policy advancements, concurrent with a virulent right wing domestic terror network populated by these psychos. We'll spend years rooting them out and they're going to kill a lot of ppl.

Y'all gone realize one day or another that if you strive for true change the far left is your friend, not your enemy. Yes anarchists are your friends who want something way, way, better than this crap, who are working for aims that benefit you if you can be tolerant & tap in.
Anarchists have one true, mortal enemy: fascists. I love that for us π
It's demoralizing to them, though, and that's not nothing!
At a committee hearing this afternoon, Burton acknowledged his "300 dead people voted" statement is not true, and the Senate ultimately killed his bill that would've made it harder to vote by mail or dropbox.
Burton said he offered the correction because The Tribune questioned him on it.
Yeah and it'd probably help to say my QB roster is (2 starter dynasty league) Joe Flacco, Kirk Cousins, Justin Fields, and Shedeur Sanders π¬
Is it safe to say that I, as perennial league bottom feeder in need of a QB, should use my first pick on Mendoza?
We also stan us some Oswald!
Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

Kid Rock and Trumps Friendship
Yeah this is the scammiest shit. I hate it. I'm too young to be this type of old man cranky lol
Heard a song on Spotify and then went to listen to the album. Halfway through I decided to research the artist and thatβs when I realized they were AI. Talk about pissed! It was like smut in music form, which is my jam.
I had a similar experience with a neat little sci Fi book I saw on Reddit. Got like 10 pages in and thought something was off and turns out it was AI slop. I feel you. Guess we all gotta research shit to the molecular level now so we don't get took. π«€
But I thought they had pay for play contracts (as well as bologna in their slacks)?
When I hear my North Dakotan Mom say 'ya knooow, that Trump is just a pig' very nonchalantly, I know inside her is deep, seething torrent of hate that is only restrained by her instinct for courtesy. Chilling stuff.
