DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

“How do I stop my students from cheating with AI?” Universal basic income, for starters

Ms Rachel is getting a lot of credit for supporting children in Gaza, but let's not forget that Ms Rachel also prominently features people of color, a nonbinary singer, and deaf people on her show. She does a lot of good.

Sharing this tonight for those in LA and for future protesters everywhere

The fact that there is any other reason why people would get injured on this slide is remarkable enough, but the apparently real reason why people were getting injured on this loop-de-loop slide is wild.

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

Northshore PRIDE parade/protest in Mandeville, Louisiana.

Trump regime leaders claim to love America, but they hate the majority of Americans, our traditions and our freedoms.

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

Patient with constipation Me: Are they giving you anything? Pt: Yeah, I'm on a stool softener and the another one that sounds like a streaming service Me: Miralax? Pt: Yup, that's the one.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

This is how you actually make the case for next-gen graphics youtu.be/eSZCdxMQjxs?...

Surrogate markers are suddenly OK.

once again I must tap my own sign

Senate GOP are lying. Full stop. Not “misinformation”. Not “misleading”. It is a lie. Knowing, intentional, from Senators who are aware of the law. Undocumented *do not* receive benefits. At all. Of any kind. State or Fed. No Medicare. No Medicaid. No disability. No SS. No food assistance. Nada.

A movie adaptation of Moby Dick directed by Tommy Wiseau and starring RFK Jr.

I don't want to read Trump's awful Truth posts or Elon's cringe tweets, so let me know when they actually do something to hurt each other.

Behold, the unholy drink cloaca

Paw Patrol is the story of a vigilante ten year old boy who trained dogs to interfere with a neighboring town's elected official.

This post roars from the depths of my mind anytime I see bioshock infinite get mentioned

I have to side with those who are worried that people will no longer test themselves for STDs if this bill passes the senate. It will be a significant blow to public health in Louisiana and it will further stigmatize those suffering incurable STDs. www.nola.com/news/louisia...

The Medicaid bullshit is driving me up a wall. We’re going to kick a million people off of healthcare who are not overwhelming the system, they aren’t at fault for any reason the economy is fucked, Medicaid isn’t “going broke” or in need of fixing, no problem is being solved, just deathcult bullshit

happy pride to everyone with long covid

We've been workin' on this since the pandemic and now get to say we're almost ready to make a pilot! Hatchi motchi

I've recently started playing an overlooked gem from 2024: Garbanzo Quest. It's a side-scrolling platformer with the right amount of challenge, a lot of charm, and a great sense of humor. I strongly recommend it. It's only ten bucks! youtu.be/dnNuwHo0ZAw?...

"Senior officials at the US Department of Veterans Affairs have ordered that VA physicians and scientists not publish in medical journals or speak with the public without first seeking clearance from political appointees of Donald Trump, the Guardian has learned."

Hi. My name is Joni Ernst. All my constituents are asking me how they are going to afford anything with all the tariffs and cuts to Medicaid. Well, if you need thirty pieces of silver and don't mind burning in hell for all eternity, I know a savior who will let you betray him.

I grew up Catholic. I think the idea that you merely need to acknowledge personally-identified wrongdoing to be square with God is consistent with a lot of the non-apologies and lack of subsequent course correction we've seen from public figures.

I had mixed opinions about GomerBlog partially because a substantial number of their articles felt as if they cruelly made fun of patients, but mostly because they only published one of the four articles I submitted to them.

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.

I played Inscryption for four hours before realizing you could play more than one card per turn, so that's how long it took me to start liking the game.

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

I would not at all be shocked if the government had simply asked a generative AI to generate a report that supported RFK's bogus health claims and didn't bother to review the report before publishing it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
