Was going to post something silly about Star Trek before thinking “Is this really what I want to be on the record saying if World War III really kicks off in the next few minutes?”

“Piff and his team found… hard data to back up what intuition and millennia of wisdom (from Aristotle to Edith Wharton) would have us believe: Wealth tends to make people act like assholes, and the more wealth they have, the more of a jerk they tend to be.”

Trump declares war on cities “We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

Dinner with friends last night. Found myself between two people talking about video games I’ve never played. I could hear the other side of the table talking about pole dancing. Without my saying anything, the gamers saw the sadness in my eyes and volunteered to switch seats. That’s friendship.

When the post-Trump America comes, every one of these soldiers deserves back pay, a public apology, and a national monument for serving their country with more courage, honor, and human integrity than anyone in its government could hope to understand.

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Calling this technology AI is going to cripple society. The chatbot isn’t thinking. It’s basically a powerful search engine that is very good at reading a question and cobbling together words from other places into something like an answer. It says dumb shit because the web is full of dumb shit.

Kudos to whoever prank called the US Secretary of the Army and told him they were on the moon.

My most 90s story: I was in the will-call line at a Marilyn Manson concert. The crowd sort of lunged forward and I got pushed rudely into the back of the woman in front of me. I apologized and she turned around and smiled. It was Gwen Stefani and she was with Gavin Rosdale.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

Besides everything else about this, it’s very depressing to hear a NYC mayoral prospect use the words “the global war on terror.” Still. After all NYC has been through; all we’ve been through; and all we’ve put the world through. Still pushing that tired, cynical button.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

American media: Rioters storming a government building with guns, wrecking the place, maiming the cops, killing people: actually a peaceful protest. Protestors marching, chanting, throwing junk at empty cop cars, setting fire to some robots: actually a riot.

If I was a democratic comms person, I would get on TV and say simply: people are in the streets because the Trump administration lied. They said they were going to deport violent criminals to make America safer, but instead they're deporting ordinary working families, making America less safe.
