I know what the Western press called it when Iraqis used IEDs against Americans in 2004. It wasn't an "anti-American demo."

I believe I know the book, and I, too, found myself engaged enough to finish it despite all the *waves hands artisitically* going on.

Do the people who think chatbots are alive also worry that popcorn is angry at them because it's so loud?

And also,

That ship did get unstuck.

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.

1) This is beyond horrific; 2) this does not encourage me to visit the US; 3) I don't think ticket sales for the World Cup and the Olympics in LA will do very well as more people hear about stuff like this.

There's no alt text on these screencaps but the doc they're taken from is linked in the next post in the thread. Like I've been saying all along: he's known what his tattoo meant since 2009 *at minimum*.

Wild how complaining about Dems is "helping Pres. Klanson win", but the VERY Dems people complain about VOTING FOR said tyrant's policies isn't helping him win?!?

I love every bit of this for you.

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Screaming

“This proved frustrating for Justice Sam Alito, whose commitment to originalism waned when confronted with the prospect of not prosecuting a brown man.“ is among the best descriptions of Alito I have read

"It’s contained”
“It’s contained”
“It’s contained”
“Do you think it’s not contained?”

Kellyann Conway, regarding the Covid-19 virus, March 2020.

I think there are far more interesting and far less problematic verses out there to explore.

Or, how about this: All the dialogue is in Chinese, except the cursing, which is in English.

Much Ado About Nothing.
I haven't read Othello since I was a young teen, but that was another favorite at the time.

Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.

We were promised that the rich were going to leave NYC after Mamdani won and instead we have this...

Both of my grandfathers were part of the Great Migration and ended up in NYC working for the MTA in the subway division. They were conductors and dispatchers.

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

The AI Doomers in China were the first victims of mass surveillance and face tracking AI and were rounded up into Uigher camps no one talks about anymore. 🙃

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

We know where we stand with the bear, who would never invite us on a hiking date.

... how... ?

That is one hell of a lot of white privilege suddenly finding out that the leopard has a taste for rich white faces.

Note to self: STOP OVERTHINKING

NO, REALLY. KNOCK IT OFF.

WTF is wrong with you guys? Did Carville give you a lobotomy?

You're promoting a fascist, dudes.

He doesn't get to wear a totenkopf over his heart for 20 years and then a month ago go on a podcast hosted by a guy so extreme he thinks ALEX JONES is an Israeli plant and get benefit of the doubt.

Remember when everyone got all excited about the idea moms for liberty lost all their contested school board races–which wasn't true? it was because it came from a "news" source that is a kalshi property.

so much for finding verified information anymore. bettors first.

I was radicalized by a kind elderly Presbyterian minister in a brightly colored cardigan who played with puppets and told me that people could like me exactly as I am and that everyone is different and that's great and we should like them exactly as THEY are.

The Tea Party rotted the GOP from the inside-out, destroyed any ability they had to govern effectively, and led directly to the last decade's worth of abject misery, suffering, and death.

You will not defeat that rot with *more* rot, and it's psychotic to believe that.

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?
