This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years. from @404media.co www.404media.co/republicans-...

I am not expecting much but if it somehow works out that Trump can't accept the Qatari Trump Sky Alpha airplane he's going to be madder than he has ever been about anything, and will remain so until the moment he dies. This is what it's all about for him.

America is now a tinpot kleptocracy run by a fascist imbecile. The nonpartisan stewards of our norms and institutions are in denial. None would hesitate to call a leader from the Global South illegally taking a plane from the Qataris a corrupt exchange. But here? We need different language.

Let's be clear: Republicans don't want more 'parents' at home. They want more *women* at home. If you think this isn't about eradicating women from the public sphere, you haven't been paying attention

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

the neck gaiter pulled up over the nose is the SS uniform of the Trump regime

Again, this agency should be disbanded tomorrow. Everyone would be better off.

The cafeteria at a place I used to work had one of those backlit dry erase boards for the daily specials, and one day it said SPAGHETTI, so I ran my finger through the lower part of the “I” to make it say SPAGHETT!

F--k yeah! Judge orders Rümeysa Öztürk released immediately. On her own recognizance. No bail. No travel restrictions.

Voted for Trump but mad at “the government” is exactly how this will all be memory-holed.

NEW: The music distribution platform SoundCloud updated its terms of service to allow it to use artists' uploaded music to train AI. The change quietly went into effect last year. It looks like a lot of SoundCloud users were caught off guard. futurism.com/soundcloud-a...

sometimes I think about this piece on how a christian college has mandatory flag worship and rifle practice and yet somehow never gets called out for lack of ideological diversity. psmag.com/education/wh...

If you say this is an explicitly racist administration, it sounds like a deeply critical value judgement, but it's actually just a neutral fact

these agents and everyone up the chain of command need to be investigated and prosecuted

So over for you hoes

Slapping this on the cover of my copy of Martin Heidegger’s “Being and Time”.

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

the dial on ‘woke or not woke’ pope keeps being turned back and forth

The big reveal is that this - what you’re seeing right now - is in fact *exactly* how businesses are run; chaotically and at the whims of sociopaths who think they know everything, actually know nothing, and run away with a golden parachute to leave others to clean up their mess.

Leo is a nice papal name, a classic, but when are we finally going to get another Pope Hilarius?

The global Catholic faith is about to learn what a proper deep dish communion looks like

new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

WAP: WOKE AMERICAN POPE

Dang, now he has been told off by two Popes. Vance collecting all the L's.

Looks like the new Holy Father isn't a fan of JD Vance.

American pontiff! Stay away from me! American pontiff! Papa, let me be-heee! Don't come hangin' 'round my door! I don't wanna see your face no more! I got more important things to do Than spend my time growin' old with you…

Big respect to El Paso Locomotive. They played to win, and almost did.

Despair to elation in a few minutes, but I hope this match proves to be a wake-up call. El Paso played well enough to deserve a win.

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

The new pope should take the name Nitro.

Gotta love legacy media innocently dropping the term "rawdogging" into a discussion on the conclave because they, apparently, aren't aware of its origin.

NYT has an up-to-the-minute conclave timer lmao

Remember when celebs were trying to get us to buy those ridiculous apes?

NEW: We dug into the tactics of an AI slop farmer, who uses low-effort AI tools and fake "bloggers" to flood Pinterest and Facebook with synthetic copies of competitors' content. His target audience, he's said, is older women, who may not know they're clicking on AI. futurism.com/slop-farmer-...

FT EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers

At which point she will have spent nearly two months behind bars for the crime of writing an op-ed.

If you skip the Waterloo section of “Les Misérables,” you’ll miss Victor Hugo’s multi-paragraph ode to the word “merde”.

The astounding thing to me about so many people outsourcing everything to “artificial intelligence” is that AI is still very, very bad at what it does. It’s like entrusting a trained spider monkey to make your dinner. How is the laziness worth the result?

“Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”
