like if I was a state governor I would be just stopping federal taxes from my state and arresting federal law enforcement, at minimum.

here i'll draw one ☝️ive never played any of these games

chatgpt is exactly as close to consciousness or experiencing emotions as a calculator, & it will never get any closer

get the fuck outta here

after twenty years and 4 trillion dollars of VC funding we’ve finally developed mankind’s greatest invention; a version of Clippy that kills an endangered species of beetle every time you ask a question. now i know what you’re thinking: ‘how do we make it illegal for me to not use this shit.t

i don't know how to explain to people that experiencing life is joyous and meaningful

there has never been a better time to join the "Hit the Guardrail at 80 mph and flip your Tesla on Purpose" movement

Fascists knock at the door and refuse to identify themselves as the supposed law enforcement, but only after jamming the Wifi so that communications and any external cameras are down.

Just wanna echo all the glowing reviews for Clair Obscur that you may have seen. Imagine you took Persona, made it EXTREMELY French, added vaguely Sekiro-feeling boss fights where you’re parrying/dodging chains of attacks, and put it all in one of the most gorgeous/evocative game worlds ever.

one of the recurring themes of @matt-levine.bsky.social 's newsletter is that more and more people are treating "investing" as an opportunity to show group affinity of some kind rather than seeking returns in some straightforward way

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

imagine going on a date while wearing a licensed My Wife Is Dead jacket

Guys, JD Vance did NOT kill the Pope and it’s stupid and immature to imply he did. The Pope killed himself after meeting JD Vance.

These guys - and I think LinkedIn has a lot to do with this - all think they're world historic geniuses when in fact they are actually barely functional human beings

the labor of art is mostly invisible. what you don't see in a finished piece is all the hours of thought it required, all the little discoveries and surprises and tragedies of production. art IS the process. if you aren't interested in the process, then i don't really know why you want to be artist

Progress means that the lives of people you loathe, people who have opposed you every step of the way, will improve. They will not thank you. They will not learn the error of their ways. They will not repent or grovel or beg or plead for forgiveness. Progress means working for that anyway.

Come back to work on aesthetics.

Every large business I’ve ever worked for was interested in ethics at least at the lip service level and often quite above and beyond that, it’s really tech and various rent extraction industries (like car dealership owners) who absolutely do not care.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

There’s a tornado warning for the Texas town with the world’s largest knife, and baby, I wanna see some results

1. A major bill protecting trans people just passed in Washington. It makes insurers cover 12-month supplies of HRT which can be obtained at pharmacies, allowing trans people to stockpile medication to outlast supply disruptions. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I think this is an underrated reason Tesla has been slow to update models- if you’re eating significant body repair costs (they are) anything that chips away at your economies of scale is going to look like murder

half-remembering that thing about how most Roman citizens experienced the fall of Rome as simply one day their local bridge went out and nobody came around to repair it

a beast

The purpose of due process is for the government to prove their accusations. If your position is that a person is a bad poster child for requiring the government to prove accusations, because of unproven government accusations, your brain is entirely smooth.

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

I won't speak for others but I want candidates who won't just win the next election but aggressively, unapologetically destroy trumpism and rebuild everything he's broken. If you're too afraid of a 51-49 poll to even talk about an issue I have no faith that will be you
