What more politicians need to understand is that these are losing issues to the degree they will lose over them. We've seen where the country goes when we abandon the values that matter to most citizens. The politicians who win will be the ones who fight for our prevailing values, not against them.

This is exactly what the NYC subway is like, and it's beautiful (trimmed video by Ian O'Connor via instagram.com/p/DAbHW7txiiv)

Me: The other guy in the yard: Me: Other guy: Me: Third guy (walking up): Me: Other guy: Third guy: Me: You here for the-- Other guy: Milkshake yeah Third guy: Yeah the milkshake Me: Yeah

This podcast has had a net positive effect on my life which is weird to say but it’s true

been saying this for like 3 years now, the core constituency of the "manosphere" is not Gen Z or teenage boys, it is 35-55 year old dudes who wish they were still teenage boys

Trans people get blamed for "cancelling" people, while a billionaire's lawyers scares papers into changing the words a journalist uses

This is genuinely so bad, he can’t even answer basic questions from budding teen atheists lmfao. It’s like that scene in game of thrones when all the children ganged up and stabbed grand maester pycelle to death

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

AI tools do not understand what is being asked, how they respond, or the concept of "a question"; they procedurally generate strings of words in an order that's based on algorithmic likelihood. there is nothing intelligent at play here, and i need everyone to internalize this. ai cannot be trusted.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Allowing the least functional, most maladjusted antisocial weirdos on earth to force their lifestyle on everyone else is a historic mistake that is going to end extraordinarily badly for one of these sets of people

They're really going to try and pretend Elon did not personally ask for the change, despite Elon having been bombarded with people asking grok questions about south african white genocide and people ridiculing him that his own chat bot doesn't buy his bullshit for 48 hours prior to the change lol.

I just pulled out of the Love's truck stop and passed a truck driver with a pencil mustache wearing a sky blue beret and well-fitting black pants, filling up his 18-wheeler

Once again every angry debate over what the perfect democratic messaging would be is taking place against the backdrop of whatever this is

Stop calling A.I. slop “art” and real human-created works “content”

we have to turn the whole internet off

"JuSt ChAnGe ThE pArTy FrOm ThE iNsIdE"

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

reason 5327 jersey is better than new york: eric adams, andrew cuomo, bill de blasio, rudy fucking guiliani could never. this is also the guy who told a bunch of other democrats “you talk a weak game *and* when it counts you don’t even come through for trans people.”

Finally maybe we can get some divine intercession on behalf of the white sox

Wow, y'all are being really parasocial with the new pope already??

there's still a chance this happened
