Google is running a series of commercials on MLB.TV that cite various absurd "stats" surfaced by Gemini, like "home runs increase 34% during a full moon." Weird flex, spending all that money to tell the world your AI can't distinguish correlation from causation.

We're all so afraid of AI coming for our jobs, but I've seen no greater advocate of career advancement. My TikTok feed is FULL of AI videos promoting inventors that are deserving of raises.

Good morning Seattle. Welcome your new neighbor. Zuckerberg’s $300M megayacht arrived in Seattle just hours after layoffs impacting roughly 1,400 employees in King County were announced by Meta. This vessel drew crowds and criticism as it traveled through the Ballard Locks toward Lake Union. WTF 🤬

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.

The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.

This is wild. I used Claude to vibe code a 6502 assembly program that renders a picture of Miles using double hi-res mode. Once I dig up my serial cable, I should be able to use ADTPro to run this on my actual Apple //c.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like.
Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is
"well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it.
This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order.
And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny.
You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely.
"Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

Pro tip: when you need same-day Amazon delivery and you’re just shy of the $25 minimum, you can add a single lime to your cart. And because the warehouse doesn’t stock produce, a SEPARATE DELIVERY PERSON will drive to Whole Foods, buy a single lime, place it in an insulated bag, and drive it to you.

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
