The new duckduckgo.com homepage looks like complete ass. Beginning of the end. Is there another similar search engine that isn't full of AI bullshit? (I will accept AI... stuff... if it works well, but I've yet to see a AI search product that could find anything)

The goal is a roll back of civil rights and the new deal. A clear social order and those in it know their place. The basic elements of life supplied not universally and collectively like the USPS but with Prime-mail. Everything a private paid service. The robber barons run everyone’s lives

The Thomas Nast of this generation is going to be whoever can figure out how to take the rhetorical ideas of Gary Stevenson's youtube channel and package them into dank memes, or scathing standup insult comedy, or whatever the format that the zoomers invent for their satire.

I'm not donating to your political party if all you're going to do is post. I can do that for free. I will donate if you have a project to resurrect FDR and give him a gun

I cannot imagine teaching a high school civics or US history class in 2025

muting the phrase “And there it is”. Just the smarmiest and most useless modern linguistic phrase I’ve seen in years

it's dramatically appropriate that mcconnell is forced to live in a hell he himself created, but I wish I wasn't also forced to live in it

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

i don't think the government should be run by a nazi methhead

i'm not tuning out. i am specifically trying to drive this newspaper into bankruptcy.

I’m so glad the dems too the high road for the last 25 years

In my years of covering internet culture I’ve always tried to impress upon people that social media algorithms + audiences actively incentivize and reward behavior and people that are almost comically evil and stupid. Anyways now that culture is running the country

They all know what they're doing is illegal because lawyers and relevant experts tell them it is illegal as they do it. In any future functional government they end up in jail. They know it. They behave as if they don't expect to ever be a future government other than their own.

reminiscing about 2010s Sci-Fi for no particular reason youtu.be/G-rM5VyxVHk?...

If the institutions you followed brought you to this, of what use were the institutions?

I know we all like the Air Bud joke but if this doesn’t end quickly with Musk in prison it’s game over for society.

Me: Oh no that trolley is going to run us over! Guy tied up on the track next to me who somehow thinks he's actually the guy holding the lever: Lol cry more 😂

did not expect the 2nd american civil war to be fought over PII but here we are

Ezri once told Worf, "The Klingon Empire is dying, and I think it deserves to die … I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron is just the latest example." Later that day, Worf killed Gowron. This is a post about DS9.

everyone agrees that this has happened, and that people who report to elon musk, who is a major US defense contractor, are running the OMB, but no one in the entire media has ever so much as implied that this is a crime

Sorry libs, the only way out of this is through left cringe and non-electoral politics.

you would have thought all the AI bros would understand about gradient descent and local minima

Why are Democrats not immediately drafting anti corruption legislation and spending the next four years asking Republicans why they won’t support it? Anyways congratulations on your recent stock purchases Ms Pelosi

I pity anyone who sees The Brutalist for the first time on a plane.

Once the acute fire news is over and the endless talking head armchair quarterbacking begins, this should be on loop on every news station.

snitches get stitches is actually just an expression of pareto efficiency

👍

Radiohead lied to us. Computer not OK. Computer not OK at all.

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

JC was a real one

have there been any sociological studies about people who prefer motion smoothing vs those who hate it ?
