Not a functioning leader.

Hey, the president is completely incompetent. Seems like a problem.

What your brand needs is SHINY POTATO.

Yeah, this is spot on. Obama is not the liberal Joe Rogan because Obama is good at speaking but he's bad at yakking. There's a big difference.

a guy who actually could do "the joe rogan of the left" - a guy who could become a huge media star with a big audience - is barack obama. that would require him actually discussing politics and current events as one of the main topics of the show, not shooting the shit with bruce springsteen

guys we HAVE to get rid of DEI. it’s about FAIRNESS

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

There is something so cool and decadent about not driving. I wish I could live without driving.

I found a wise toad.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Every once in a while this bot posts something that is just heart-achingly beautiful.

I don't think we deserve it any more. Time to give it back.

No war. Absolutely not.

Here's a nice little article about my daughter's band. hankycodemagazine.substack.com/p/new-kids-o...

This is correct. All of politics is a series of stunts! Even speeches are stunts!

the antiwar president is on the verge of committing the nation to the most ambitious and risky military adventurism since Iraq — but in this case the enemy is far stronger and far more dangerous and the possible consequences of having no real end-game are even more apocalyptic.

It’s so easy to be an artist. You just do it. That, of course, is why it’s so hard to be an artist. You just have to do it. People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist. my random thoughts on it, better said by all the ppl in history

Um... is his hand completely covered in blood?

Abolish ICE.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

The weirdest responses to this are people who insist not only that AI is not useful, but also that people are not using it. People are using it! You may not like it, and that's ok, but reality is that many people find it useful and they are currently using it.

Even the other fascists are like, "Hey wait, our fascist regime is getting a little too fascist! Pump the breaks!"

A situation with anti-war MAGA chuds and pro-war mainstream Dems would be... disorienting.

i keep cracking up at this post on AI writing

My daughter's band has a new song out today on Spotify and other streaming services. She writes all the songs, she's 14, and she's way cooler than I will ever be. open.spotify.com/album/41p5Wq...

This is the lesson for other countries. Nobody thinks we’d launch strikes against North Korea. They have nukes.

Jennifer Jacobs, @cbsnews.com senior White House reporter, tweeted a few minutes ago: "U.S. is NOT joining Israel offensively in it's military operation, per US officials." link: x.com/JenniferJJac...

One begins to wonder if putting the dumbest motherfucker ever to live in charge was a mistake.
