WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

It's been fairly obvious that Steve Bannon was a nazi ever since he tried to set up his own Hitler Youth program in Italy a few years back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

One thing I worry about with AI, which I haven't seen much written on, is that for better and worse it'd allow for perfect Internet-wide content moderation. Clearly there are some potential consumer benefits, but at least to me it'll be the final end of the Old Weird Internet.

Again?

one thing that is actually pretty cool about right now is how both Bill and Ted turned out to be excellent humans

I always thought that the world would be a better place if more people learned to question things more, but the tech bros have even ruined that one for us now

There is an extraordinary section here about the collection of dreams during the Third Reich and how that tells us something of what we are currently witnessing.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

Looks like they're also using Elementor. Lol mashable.com/article/doge...

Jesus wept. When will this monumental bellend finally just fuck off all the way into the sun? www.thenational.scot/news/2493240...

Rage against the machine.

Pay no attention to the nazi conducting a coup over there. Look over here at this insane old man saying crazy shit

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

Liebe Medien in Deutschland, vielleicht berichtet ihr mal darüber dass der Tüp der will dass alle hier AfD wählen sich in Trumpland gerade ungewählt und illegal Zugriff auf die sensibelsten Daten der Bevölkerung verschafft hat. Pro-Tipp: Das ist nich Entbürokratisierung, das ist ein Staatsstreich.

Max Richter releases 20th anniversary vinyl edition of The Blue Notebooks, featuring the brand new track, "On The Nature Of Daylight (Piano Version)"

every UK video game in the 80s and 90s was made by a guy named like "lord wensleydale" or two guys named "the chippy twins" and was about an egg with no special abilities going on an adventure and dying immediately. it was ported to the super nintendo where everyone hated it

Those e-ink supermarket pricetags that are suddenly everywhere seen ripe for hacking youtu.be/BvOkOANCmMk?...

Love this.

The Bad Fire release has me diving back into the Mogwai back catalogue and, after Helicon 1+2, I think this will always be their masterpiece for me. It just sounds like nothing else they ever did. youtu.be/I2l5cE168SU?...

Quick, give us money before you spot that the king is naked

The tories should be liable for any loss here, since the scheme would have happened if not for them blocking it

Chihiro from SPIRITED AWAY is the most millennial-coded character in fiction: - forced to beg in order to get worst job in the entire universe - incompetent at work due to being coddled by pig boomer parents - immediately starts dating her manager - quits after two days to move back home

As recently as the early 2000's cars could drive and park in the historic centre of Delft. Local politicians narrowly voted for a "low car" policy, removing cars & parking from parts of the city centre. Now it's safe and pleasant for anyone, of any age, to cycle and no one wants the cars back.

oooooh look at it goooooo finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA/?...

I admit I did not have "OpenAI gets Temu'd" as a pale horse but if this is what does it, lol
