I do genuinely wonder how many people think what happened with Wikipedia is that “society accepted it” rather than that they put a ton of work into making it reliable, something that is not going to make AI reliable because no technology to actually understand meaning has been or can be invented.

They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism. It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism. This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

Everyone loves Mark Cuban’s pharma company because he doesn’t profit off of cancer patients *as much* as some others but at the end of the day he’s doing it because he is profiting off of cancer patients. They literally add a 15% markup to their production cost, plus a $3 “pharmacy fee” & shipping.

Is it fine to call everyone who voted for this president racist, bigoted fuckwads, or are people still trying to pretend this had something to do with groceries??

To be clear, this is about getting people to quit so they can shrink the federal workforce and fuck up services that everyone depends on, from social security and Medicare to FEMA and national parks management. They want civil servants to quit. That’s the whole plan. www.npr.org/2025/01/20/n...

When you're listening do people whose only response to Trump is "he can't do that" then you're ignoring the people who are telling you that there are ways that he can do it and that you should be preparing for it. I'm just saying.
