Welp. The internet had a nice run.
Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.
"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."
The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace
Maybe we should just come out against a deranged narcissist dragging us into a war on a whim regardless of how he explains it.
years ago The Nib (RIP The Nib) ran a comic about media empires and how everything had been conglomerated into 5 companies. I think with Paramount buying Warner Brothers we're down to 2, maybe 2.5 companies? Meanwhile The Nib is dead and all of us in the wilderness are fully knives out at each other

A fun game: state a really meaningless fact followed by "Makes you think, doesn't it?" and see if you can actually get a good conversation out of it, i.e.
"Move two letters in 'umpire' and you get 'impure.' Makes you think, doesn't it?"
Bully them harder actually
A white with black feral cat and a black with white feral cats snuggling in a box. They look a bit rough but sweet. They are twelve years old which is about five years older than most street cats survive for. Can you give them a soft place to land?

Okay Brooklyn! Wild cat rescue ask!
Two feral cats who are now 12 walked inside someone’s apartment during the blizzard. It’s time for them to retire from the streets but can’t stay where they are. Can they stay with you?
More in thread!
It's been almost a decade and this is still true. They still haven't learned.
"CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten reported recently, “When we’re talking about 42% of Democrats under the age of 35 identifying as democratic socialists and a third of all Democrats … my goodness gracious.”
I would say there's no far left in the democratic party but point of the article taken
Tell me more about Contraption. Is this a new thing?
The days of this app being the best place to track and break unfolding news are so far gone. Today’s news out of Mexico makes uniquely clear that between AI, engagement farmers, and bad-faith grifters, trying to inform yourself on here makes you more uninformed. Done with it.
Yesterday seemed to be a dam breaking over there. More and more people are saying it's literally worthless! Even NBC News reporters seeing the light.
I have never spent so many solid minutes waiting for someone in a film to violently lose control of themselves only for it to never happen. Just a ridiculous level of tension through the entire thing.
Jack Black is mostly good at acting like Jack Black.
The Aristocrats. Went to see it with my grandma.

I don't even post here enough to warrant getting blocked by people here that I've never heard of nor even interacted with.
A chemist has arranged the lifeless bodies of Biffo and Buster upon armchairs in his shop window to advertise "Slumbo" brand sleep aid, with signs reading "Slumbo will give you a good night's sleep" and "Drink 'Slumbo' and sleep like a top", whatever that is supposed to mean. ONLOOKER: What a good advert! I must buy a tin of "Slumbo"!

Protesting can't just be walking in a circle anymore. We need to find a serious way to gum up the economy. We need mass civil disobedience and to work towards a general strike.

Going out on a limb to say 'ideally yes'
We've been told to ignore what happened at the 2000 DNC, then Occupy, then Ferguson, on into 2020 protests and the anti-ICE actions of today. According to them, you aren’t supposed to believe your eyes when police kill someone or when ICE kidnaps a kid.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Fondly remembering the months of weirdness/unhinged comments we got from Pritzker fiends on this app and others for simply (and accurately!) covering state police attacks on protesters outside Broadview. Godspeed to everyone in Minnesota facing the same from the Walz fan club
