And I don't really want to hear all the reasons you don't like him, thanks. THIS right here is how our leadership in the Senate should be acting, what our leadership in the Senate should be saying.

gonna write a utopian sci-fi story where all the fundy godbotherers get raptured up to their chosen heaven, the tech weirdos climb into goo pods & plug into their preferred AI matrixmetaverse to dream life away... and then the rest of us stay here, breathe clean air, fuck & take frisbees to the park

I've spent so much time blocking annoying 20something Tankie types, I s'pose it serves me right that now my feed is full of boomer hashtag-resist accounts, bitching and moaning from the rattle-jewelry seats about how effective Hakeem Jeffries is & that "there's no such thing as a centrist, children"

I'm sorry, but if you're out there saying shit -with a straight face- like "Chuck Schumer is a much better person to represent our party to the media and the voters, than AOC is" You're either a bot/troll/shill, or just not someone who should be taken seriously.

Not sure how "these guys have signed trillion dollar deals that they have to pay starting next year- and clearly can't" is irrelevant to anything they do or say, but ok. Again, for the folks in the back: TRILLIONS IN TAKE OR PAY COMPUTE CONTRACTS THAT OPENAI/ANTHROPIC HAVE NO VIABLE PATH TO PAYING

If AI is getting so great, why is software only getting worse- and more broken. The only AGI that's going to save the AI Bubble is "actually generating income" and it's about as unlikely as the other one

leaving the science/public health implications aside for a moment, from a purely political perspective "Biden would've been more popular if he'd pushed for longer lockdowns and insisted that people keep wearing masks indefinitely" is an especially bluesky bubble-level piece of delusional thinking.

The last time Rachel Goldberg-Polin heard from her son, Hersh, was the morning of Oct. 7, 2023. He sent two messages: “I love you,” and “I’m sorry.” “When We See You Again,” Goldberg-Polin’s new book, is an excruciating look at everything that followed.
