YESSSSS

Holy fucking shit. 'If Trump says we won then we won' is even further down the hole than the Orwell quote people always dig up about eyes and ears. He attacked Iran so he could win another fake award. That's it. That's the whole thing. That's wild

Tufted titmouse showing off his peanut

Everything sucks. Here's a bird with a peanut.

anthropic: I have made AI

tech nerds: you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

Noem isn't fired, she's just being promoted to a job no one's ever heard of. This job lives in Canada, that's why you've never met her. But it's a really hot and awesome job, I swear

They said “sir, no one’s ever seen anything like it,” and they had tears in their eyes.

Even in the area of media stuff people act like everything in the colonial era was high and mighty. Meanwhile Ben Franklin was constantly just talking shit about everyone in his newspaper like he was doing a set on Def Comedy Jam. We romanticize this era way too much.

Seeing guys claim that AI is *already* intelligent and capable of original thought really gives the game away. It’s not about waiting for the technology to miraculously become better, it’s about convincing you it’s something that it’s not

I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community

Peter Thiel is deeply unlikable, and has yet to realize that by pushing unlikable candidates, they will not achieve their goals, because--surprise!--NOBODY LIKES THEM. I can't think of anyone who's excited about anything to do with Vance, and that includes all of Congress.

Trump sounds...unwell. More than usual, I mean. He sounds like he's sleepwalking.

Also, for him to break into the Daytona 500 to shill crypto, he must be worried about all the money he's got in it. Prepare for a pump and dump like you've never seen before, folks.

Ah, JD Vance. The human equivalent of a KICK ME sign, but less charming.

Thread of some services/software I'm using instead of various billionaire-owned surveillance/fascist/"A.i." trash products:

For my newsletters, @buttondown.com. Does the job! Great customer service - usually get personalized responses within 24 hours. (Never gonna join Substack.)

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

that's why the rise of ai husbands interests me, but also confuses me on a personal level (you do you, etc), because ai NOT having emotions is the selling point for me. i don't want my robot declaring love, i want them to help me code this layout and then rec dinner recipes.

it randomly occurred to me that there was never a risk of my looking for sentience in ai, because i'm from the branch of autism that wanted a robot buddy. not a robot who learns how to love. i didn't give a good goddamn if it loved me, i just wanted to hang out and talk about cool books.

Troop 6000

It’s once again Girl Scout cookie season so it’s time for me remind everyone to please consider buying from NYC’s Girl Scout Troop 6000, which is entirely made up of girls living in NYC homeless shelters 🙏❤️

Woke Jesus is too much of a soy boy. New!Jesus rips that crucifix out of the ground and plays air guitar with it LIKE A BOSS

america is somehow a burning building in the middle of a major earthquake during a hurricane, every morning

watching the right desperately try to pretend that they enjoy the stylistic crooning of Kid Rock and always have is my Superbowl

Folks, look, it’s easy to make fun of Kid Rock but it’s important to remember that it’s also hilarious.

Years ago, a friend asked me why billionaires want MORE money when they could never spend the tiniest fraction of what they have.

My answer is that they want immunity. The immunity to do literally any horrific they want without consequence.

Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

I uh, feel like I’ve seen this movie

This is why you desperately need to give yourself a break if you drink out of a plastic bottle sometimes.

None of this is your fault.

shocked that the guy who runs the kiddie porn generator kept trying to get an invitation to the special island where pedophiles hunt middle-schoolers for sport

Do the new people here know that posts are called skeets

Wow, this administration really likes being child abusers. Like, a LOT.
