Many of us knew this from the start, yet you motherfuckers in the corporate media insisted on treating it as an existential crisis for the league bc it was doing numbers on the Nazi site that you still treat as the town square

Ex-boss filed a $12 theft charge against an ex-employee because she got a restraining order in response to his creepy behavior. Charge was never prosecuted, but it gave ICE an excuse to arrest and detain her. Congratulations to the 58 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act. You own this.

Dancers must be alive to dance so survival is important but it might not be the reason they dance. Dancing itself might be the reason. And survival might be secondary to that. You’re talking about the universe and human existence like you have it pinned down. It’s just arrogant and silly

EJP @ejpettinger.bsky.social · 14/10/2026
Explain to me how dancers must dance to survive. And why they choose dancing. I just find it boring and tautological. We survive in order to survive and everything we do is for survival. It’s always given a patina of courage and wonder but as an explanation it’s very unsatisfying.

That’s how we know the teapot in a Disney movie is conscious too. And I’m too stupid to know how they made machines that can work with enough information to spit out something like unique responses. But I know it’s leaving a lot out of whats involved in being a human.

EJP @ejpettinger.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
I guess my irritation is how much of the argument here is based on an ai’s ability to “think” and calculate language responses. Like that’s consciousness. Seems like quite a bit getting left out

EJP @ejpettinger.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
All of this shit just sounds like low level mimicking. Human consciousness arose out of what? after how much? And we’re acting like getting computers to just barely fucking mimic it is maybe the whole game. Give me a break

You can program an etch a sketch to write don’t kill me, you can also create an llm using probabilistic calculations and filled with all the written words in the universe to say don’t kill me. Is the second one conscious because it’s more “complex”? Like that’s it? Just more data?

There was no accountability for DOGE so he is going to keep doing it. Dems should promise to minimize contracts with clearly partisan government contractors and to impose more regulatory scrutiny on Musk. At this point, nothing to lose. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

I entered this story as cynical as it comes and I still somehow didn’t see this development coming. Evil shit.
In fact, rape kits often don't show evidence of abusers' DNA, especially when more than 24 hours have passed since the abuse occurred, or when a condom was used-both of which applied in Taylor's case.
"If it happened, there would be—there would be DNA found," Turnage said. "And we didn't find anything."
If Taylor lived in another county, perhaps her case would have ended there: allegations made, no corroborating evidence found, no charge against the alleged abuser. But in Polk County, no wrongdoing is too small for a consequence. Sheriff Judd often quotes a phrase he learned from his late father: "Right is right, and wrong is never right."Inside the house, Turnage told Lisa that the sheriff's office planned to move forward with a criminal charge against Taylor for lying to a law enforcement officer about a felony. Lisa was on board. "We know she's mouthy, and she tries to act older than what she is," said.

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.
