Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

This is it. This is the take.

Me: maybe I can set aside that petty grievance Also me:

Serena Williams was on the field longer today than Harrison Butker.

these guys have control over all 3 branches of government and have the world's most powerful megacorporations doing their bidding and they're still fucking whinin. "the regime". just say the word you want to say

Ever notice how tech bros start to talking like bighearted utopian collectivists when they’re straight-up stealing things

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

Super Bowl blowouts usually suck but this one is a work of art, just a complete middle finger to everything that’s happening

If you’re in line to sack Patrick Mahomes, STAY IN LINE

ok can we all just admit AI was a mistake

I got death threats for accurately describing GamerGate. I kept going with my work, despite the fact that I never had access to either the wealth or the elaborate security protocols of a United States Senator.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

Ok man, I’ll tell them

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

Just a reminder that there are real human beings, with families, who are having their financial and professional lives turned upside down tonight by the richest man in the world, who has a string of his own families he’s abandoned, and who was not elected to anything.

Boy, these last eight days feel like a good reminder why democracies generally avoid letting people who attempt a coup come back to power….

1. pick your battles and let other people pick theirs 2. remember who the enemy is 3. go drink some water because you're definitely dehydrated

Opinion: This Is Bigger Than COVID: Why Are So Many Americans Dying Early From Covid?

100% going to start using “let’s see how earth responds to that” every time someone goes against my advice.

May we all live our lives so that social media sites don’t rejoice like Ewoks at the end of Jedi upon news of our death.

They should invent a uterus that doesn't try to kill you

One of the biggest & most persistent myths of the neoliberal age has been that decision-making will be "evidence-based" when in fact right-wing ideology trumps is every. single. time.

Really something that Jewish establishment leaders will give a raging antisemite who happens to support Israel the podium but will call Jewish anti-war and anti-apartheid groups antisemites/hate groups. Very clear that among some leaders, Israel matters more than Jews.

Those are some words.

In the last four weeks no one has made me (an American Jew) feel unsafe, no one has talked about wanting me dead, no one has tried to dehumanize me, no one has sent me violent messages, no one has tried to threaten my livelihood and my family — except for American pro-Israel Jews

“I built a trading bot that buys stocks that are being bought by politicians. It is up 20% since it launched in May 2022. The market has been flat during the same time period.” More here. [threads.net]

Ta-Nehisi Coates Speaks Out Against Israel’s “Segregationist Apartheid Regime” After West Bank Visit. “There’s no way for me, as an African American, to come back and stand before you, to witness segregation and not say anything about it.” [democracynow.org]

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

I say this as a leftist Jew who has been anti-zionist for a long time. Please listen to us

*after staring out the window into the darkness for a long time* and what report does his son give?

I think I figured it out. This is the site for people who Post Too Much

*Jewish protesters. Some of the largest protests we've seen since this all broke out are by by *Jews* saying: Not in our name. Never again for ANYONE.
