Honestly the fact that just putting all the kids in public school isn’t even on the table REEKS of control issues

Giving a foreign adversary permission to bomb your own soldiers is treason.

Peter Thiel has been telling us for over a decade that the reason he invests in AI is because it will allow him to enforce a future on us that we despise and would never accept. Believe him. Musk is the same. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/o...

Oh yep I saw this Q&A a couple weeks ago, it's great! It's a perfect showcase of how the US farm sector has lost its grip on reality. He really said "You have to subsidize us because that's how you create a free market." With a straight face & everything.

"Smaller-scale AI arms races like these don't take hold unless users (or workers, or students) have already been pitted against one another by systems they don't respect. In an uncomfortably large portion of modern life - especially online - that's exactly what's happened."

The real AI arms race is between one another 🥰 nymag.com/intelligence...

guys with a like a 3:5 win-to-loss ratio and doorprints on his ass from the last one has Thoughts about Doing Politics

once again, hardcore anti-lib attitudes are often about gender

Queer Christian communities need to have a “come to Jesus” moment about the rampant antisemitism that makes them look at the violently homophobic, powerful men leading their churches and see a Jewish sect of rabbis that they know nothing about.

No one is “replacing” teachers with AI. People are redistributing money to tech companies for AI and replacing permanent salaried workers with contingent, poorly paid ones whose labor is to patch together the system that is being broken by AI.

pretty much all of bluesky rn

One of the SpaceX fan cams caught a crane collapse at Starbase in Texas. This kind of thing only happens from a completely unacceptable safety culture failure and I'd be shocked if there wasn't a death here

Masked agents act lawlessly and abuse us, the president orders illegal wars, the White House is chaos and Trump may not even be in charge, and this *useless fucking hack* wants to talk about... consolidation of farm grant processes, jesus fucking christ

When I call @gluesenkampperez.house.gov's office lately, the staffers are incredibly brusk and will basically immediately hang up as soon as they say "I'll pass this along to the congresswoman" I'm sure things are going great there

Also on the record, I do in fact think you are a titanic dumbass who deserves to be made fun of if you voted for Trump or refused to vote on the specific basis of "wanting to avoid wars"

On the record, I fully support a draft that's exclusively and specifically targeted at whiny Internet men who claimed they couldn't vote for Harris because "she'll send me off to die in a war."

this piece makes very clear the relationship between narcissism, domestic abuse, and the worst forms of health crankery - a dynamic manifest in RFK Jr on a grand scale.

i think these professional antivaxxers are literally demonic www.bbc.com/news/article...

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

How did so many people across the political spectrum hallucinate this into being an issue?

Americans are simultaneously the least trusting of traditional media they’ve ever been and will believe anything you make up if you write “BREAKING”

hypernormalisation

Man fuck this

it's super true that brainstorming is one of the best ways to develop explore and enhance ideas which is why you should spend less time with llms and more making friends with real people with actual brains to storm

“rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge”

i mean, it was obviously not accidental, and it wasn't particularly clever. imagine what the most unpleasant, unlikable loser from your high school class would do, and you'll be able to predict what vance is up to with a frightening degree of accuracy
