"Furries should be locked up in mental hospitals" is a bold statement from Tommy Tuberville, a man who definitely needs help with his computer at least 2-3 times per week.

the only lasting 9/11 memory i have is when the budweiser ad with the kneeling clydesdales came on during the super bowl and i said "those horses are praying to mecca" and my friend's uncle got so mad that he had to go in the backyard

There's something deeply pathetic & petty about one of the biggest msn papers coming to whine about the percieved unfair treatement in the comments of a small indie outlet that represents the structurally disadvantaged victims of the global hate campaign that the NYT supports.

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful.
Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed.
When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O.
Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."
Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How?The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk")
1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus
4.5
2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders
3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK"
4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes)
The damage:
- Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats
- 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone
- Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total
The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking
"is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."

It is so damn obvious the trans sports issue is a drummed up nonsense moral panic masquerading as “common sense” - but if you look deeper for two seconds you see how the whole point of sex segregated sports is to defund women athletics & to build and propagandize the western idea of women as weak.

I grew up with a pro-gun, right-wing father. I've been to gun shows and nra rallies as a kid. I heard the constant AM talk radio bullshit and the drunken rambling of his friends. And I saw the vitriol. The conspiracies. Calls for political violence and jokes about murder No wonder I don't care now.

autism moms and transphobic parents are basically the same phenomenon. They want to believe that the kid being different, not what they expected is due to an external damage, that hurt their child. Their property. Because they do see kids as property.
