Are you fucking kidding me? Trump is steamrolling this country for personal profit. Democrats should be doing everything in their power to win a majority in both chambers to impeach this man and push bold, popular, progressive legislation. This is a disgrace.

This feels a lot like that early period of Covid when some people were shouting about how bad it was going to be while guys like Trump and Musk were predicting it would be over by April.

This is always where it was going to go. They want control over how human bodies are allowed to be portrayed, not just nudity but in all aspects. Bluster about "protecting children" from pornography is just the wedge they use to open the door.

AI may be an existential risk simply because the human mind and society as currently constructed is simply incapable of judiciously using it at scale by undeliberative people and everything turns to slop as its permission structure of incompetence and 1-shot tries effuses into culture and pipelines.

Everybody's mad at this dude for this post, but are we not in exactly the kind of situation Jefferson described in the Declaration of Independence? That passage that dumbass right-wingers are always quoting?

The most painful thing about life is how powerless we are to correct the ignorance of the world. No matter how much I try to educate people, they go on thinking that the Iguanadon is a cool dinosaur. Igaunadon sucks. There are like 50 better dinosaurs, easily, come on.

Just incredible that a sitting Senator can say something like this with every expectation that such comments will not be grounds for bipartisan calls for his immediate resignation or removal from office.
