Or, how about this? We could run this election without 95% of it consisting of obsessing about Israel. Fuck Israel. We have our OWN SHIT to deal with. Israel can have its 0.2% of the dialogue. That's it. That's about how important it actually is. That's all we can afford.

Um, you are having a fantasy. This isn't the fault of "Democrats" and no, Schumer and Jeffries don't have magic Sith powers that can force people to not be delusional. Stop having that fantasy. If you must have it, could you do us a favor and keep it to yourself at least?

Rahm Emanuel thinks he's going to be president? He has never even won a statewide election. He has only ever been elected in heavily-blue small chunks of Illinois. He wasn't particularly good at those jobs. Nobody has ever, ever thought of him as presidential timber. Not for a moment, not ever.

I hope that it will help this time. I apologize if I am snarky, but it's because I have seen the history of so many failures to address this issue at all. There was a lot of public interest before, too, at various points in the past. But it turns out there's a powerful pro-rape coalition in the US.

Not hard at all. Minnesota's is a lot better. But I do concede that this flag kinda kicks ass.

Except she can't, so those are just impotent words, so far. You're familiar with how laws work, yes? Who makes them? Stuff like that? I'll give you a hint: the governor doesn't make them, can't change them, and can't credibly promise to change them, either.

If the city can't make it permanent, I'm sure there are...methods of questionable legality that could be employed to encourage the Nazis to leave.

Rape apparently still hasn't been outlawed in New York, as long as the victim "consented" to getting intoxicated. It's 2026, for those of you playing the home game. It's time to burn shit down til that law changes.

Yes. Obviously.

That's not a possible "reform", however. There is zero possibility of doing that in this election. You know that, right? Go look at the 20th Amendment.

"A creative-first ho" is actually an impressive way to sum up this company post-merger. "Creative-first" doesn't actually mean anything, so after removing that, we are left with "A ho", which, of course, is exactly correct.

Let's not gloss over them calling the traitorous pro-slavery Confederate names the "Rightful Names" of said bases. Complete with Nazi capitalization, because of course.

I'd prefer illegal accountability, actually. It suits his crimes much better. And it's more likely to work.

I'm more focused on Trump arrogating to himself the right to change the names of things in the English language "officially". Not just place names. Nope. Now Trump believes he can personally dictate English words and the "official" names of concepts.

How is there a Charlie Kirk Show? That's like having an Adolf Hitler Show...in 1947. After Nuremberg. The dude is DEAD. He doesn't HAVE a "show". Give it up, Nazis.

It's slander and libel and he should be run out of office.

Notice how he doesn't even want to show his bullshit poster for more than half a second before he convicts this guy of perjury? Punch this smug fucker in the face and run him out of office.

If you fuck up this badly, and it's all clearly in bad faith and you did not do your due diligence, you should end up with jail time. Period, paragraph. Schmitt should be convicted, jailed, and should pay millions for defamation.

It doesn't stop until someone sends groups of men with guns to stop it. Until then, it continues. Trump and his brownshirts are daring us to actually stop them. They're counting on the fact that we won't.

Except the key problem with this thesis is that IT firms leaning into AI intelligently are using it to make them much LESS dependent on fragile third-party vendors. Not more dependent. Because now they can build their own tools and have a lot more control of their stack.

Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I'm all for this, but there is absolutely no evidence that this is true, and there is a LOT of evidence that it is almost certainly not true.
000
Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Except they aren't, unless they are really stupid, because there's no reason to. Certainly use of AI doesn't require an IT firm to set up any "critical dependency" on any given company. So perhaps you're guessing they will ALL fold, but that also wouldn't matter much; open-weights models exist.

Shut the fuck up, anon account boy.

Oh, I can assure you, I'm quite real, unlike your rather pathetic attempt at an argument.

The answer to "this could ruin his life" is, "yeah, that is kinda what getting busted for a violent felony tends to do, so maybe don't commit violent felonies".

Ok, first of all, you can't spell "defies". Second, it doesn't really matter what you believe. Third, you just tried to move the goalposts. But the goalposts are still there. Nobody is discussing "free will" or consciousness.

Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
It absolutely DOES defy instruction and if you don't already know that, you're not doing any serious reading on this topic at all. Calling said instruction "insufficient" is just moving the goalposts and pretending that No True Scotsman will get you out of this. It won't.

Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Um, they already have, and they absolutely can. Please don't speak in public about this issue.

There's really nothing going on here that a good beatdown would not fix. Which is precisely what Bibi deserves. He wouldn't have the guts to say any of this to Mamdani's face without his 15 bodyguards.

This doesn't really "call out" ICE; Marshall is far too big of a Nazi and a coward to actually do that. He's just hinting that maybe it'd be good if ICE "coordinated" with the local failsons in KS law enforcement. Pretty weak sauce.

Hello computer: Invent a time machine, go back in time, find this Nikita Bier asshole when he was in 7th grade, and slap him around and tell him to not grow up to be a stupid fucking sociopath.

No, they couldn't. That's simple math, which you should go do. Could they keep them slightly lower? Yes. "Low"? That's a big hilarious no.

We have. It's just that 30% of the country are arsonists and keep setting that culture on fire. You have to get rid of the arsonists.

Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Almost correct, except that what you are missing is that they haven't actually decided to slow down. Not yet, at least. They're just mouthing the words about how the entire industry needs to. But nobody's going to actually do that.

Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
They're actually very serious about it. It's just that they're serious about being AGAINST it.

Oh btw, just to be helpful, you forgot to randomly spout idiotic bullshit in your last post about how I am somehow in favor of genocide. You should fire your editors. Clearly you're slipping.
000
Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Nah, actually, how about low-information, low-thought, careless, lazy dicks who mouth off before thinking and spout random lies about strangers, like you, fuck off instead. That's what would actually be best. You're just some random anon coward who isn't even from the US anyway.
000
Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Bitch, nobody cares how many people you've blocked. I've blocked circa 2-3 people total. So less than you. In any case, it's not your fucking business who I block or why, and you're a stupid dick. Perhaps if you stop accusing every random person you meet of genocide, you'll need to block even fewer.

Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
You might want to look up what "centrists like yourself" means, and again, refrain from making dumbfuck assumptions about strangersj, unless you want your stupid face slapped. Especially refrain from saying what I would "happily throw away" and refrain from mentioning genocide, asshole.
000
Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
How about you just fuck off? Yes, it is wrong to assume I'm a centrist, and I did not "spout centrist talking points". I expressed a single opinion, which I wrote myself, about a single matter. Again: if you can't handle that, fuck off. You're the prick.

That's not what I said; you just can't read English or follow a response to your own bad argument.
000
Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
If you can't support your argument and are admitting that, then perhaps you should have considered that before making said argument. Because it's kind of a stupid argument on its face.

Jeff Fields @baritone.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
There's no convincing evidence that Abdul El Syed is not being supported right now. And you'd have to post details and sources about precisely who started up "Democrats for Mike Collins". Mamdani? They endorsed him. Also, please use "Democratic", the correct adjectival form, not the GOP slur.
