Democracy dies when billionaires control the fucking press

I'm genuinely disheartened by the lack of reviews/coverage for "Eyes on the Prize III," which premieres on HBO tonight. Sigh. This is, I guess, a "me" problem. But nothing you could watch this week is better. Anyway... ICYMI, my review:

Jason calacanis is an idiot leech that people shouldn’t listen to

When DeepSeek r1 came out I was part of a lot of conversations about small, open source language models - specifically how it’s not actually open source … this is 😊 Some folks built a decent equivalent with an open, ethical dataset. Energy efficient, hosting briefly to test - try it out!

Grifting all the way down

$1090!!!!/2603!! A little under half way there . Rent is due in THREE DAYS. please help!!!!

You first.

Truly incredible how Americans can go to the polls, choose a bunch of incompetent jerks to run the country, then immediately recognize "welp everything's gonna suck now." I dunno, maybe don't choose the incompetent jerks next time? Just sayin.

We are, unequivocally, the Bad Guys. We have been before, and we will be again, no doubt, but this one is particularly repellent.

Lmao, someone at X got butt hurt and adjusted Grok’s main prompt, then when caught reverted the prompting back. 🤣

If you’re a federal worker looking for a good accomplishment to share with Elon, tell him you responded to texts from the mother of your children.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Rumours are OPM's Musk driven prove yourself email has resulted in 207,356 email responses including lyrics of "Never Going To Give You Up" by Rick Ashley and 107,235 email responses of what could be summarised as "fuck off" in differing media references.

Steve Bannon: NAZI

I posted a copy of the 3 minute version of my speech from yesterday (with citations) if anyone is interested. Feel free to steal from it if you want! (also, this is literally less than half of the Nazi shit they're currently pulling)

Happy Valentine’s Day

Hmm yup I’m depressed

ok, so your motivation is, "capitalism must be destroyed"

Mœbius & David Lynch

Daily reminder with these chodes: Every accusation is a confession (and a concession).

Silicon Valley be all like "You didn't want to buy our monkey jpgs and conduct meetings with VR headsets, I guess we have no choice but to start WW3"

DOGE and GSA: Wash Post says Musk's kids at GSA are cancelling leases so as to keep buildings that are overcrowded and unpleasant, and comparing locations to employee home locations so as to maximize commute times, to make more feds miserable enough to quit www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Or alternatively, is it the fact that Valentine’s Day is approaching and I’m single as hell and unhappy with that state of affairs even though I know the day is bullshit and a made up holiday

Can’t tell if lack of sun is what’s depressing me or if the current shit show that is the American government is what’s doing it or if it’s a combination of both

Canadian TV host: How are you today? Me: We kinda got some stuff going on but swell, how about you Canadian TV Host: [look of pity]

The majority of large public universities, especially R1 institutions, keep entire towns alive. Some even small city sized. In very red states.This is going to be earth shattering for local politics.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Not sure how to put it more clearly: Vought is the coup. Everyone who votes for Vought is doing a coup.

NEW - Ottawa Senators fans booed the American national anthem at the beginning of tonight’s hockey game.

NY Times, Feb. 11, 1933.

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

Absolutely disgraceful

in what universe does shutting off this flow of funds not "require congressional authority" per nyt?
