These fools think people wanted isolated, hyper individual lives/experience when art (visual, textual, music, etc) is about connection and communication between people.

God I'm so tired of seeing rapists everywhere. I hate these fucking braindead pigs, I hate watching them gorge on power and money for no reason except that they want it, I hate knowing they're torturing women with impunity, I hate seeing their smug stupid fucking faces on the news.

Imagine looking at the media landscape—music, books, movies—and concluding that it would be better if it were all simply infinite reflections of yourself, if you never had to be exposed to another personality, another experience, another life. Just you, you, you. Sounds fucking horrifying.

Any analysis of the Iran War that doesn't start and end with the fact that an entire cottage industry of think tankers and lobbyists and their friends in Congress were frothing at the mouth for literal decades for this got exactly what they wanted and it failed immediately and totally is wrong.

Yes the article will definitely convince me that I've actually heard the song and am just lying about it. This is pure cope and makes me suspicious that at least some of the hype is manufactured.

The mayoral discourse in Berlin continues to be *utterly* unhinged. If the AfD had topped the polls the narrative would be “finally the people have been heard!” but since the Left won, it’s all “Queer Islamofascists and Woke are trying to conquer us with, er, affordable rents!”

because to Russians, they have no genuine claim to independence. They are forgeries holding Russians citizens hostage. Much like a certain place where at least 500,000 Russian soldiers have a died in action since 2022, which Putin and others have declared does not politically exist

Anyone who claims that "the Jewish community" in America says any particular thing is by definition lying, since the millions of Jewish people in this country have never agreed on anything. If you say "the Jewish community of X European city" says something, you really mean "Steve said it"

One of the problems with the AI industry being run by apocalyptic millenarian cultists isn’t that their end of the world scenarios are made up; it’s that like other similar millennialists, they think their desired end of the world is a utopia and they’ll do whatever they can to make it real.

Advanced analytics in sport have kind of melted people's brains by substituting counterfactuals for *actual* team win-loss performance. Ultimately the team's position in the table/standings is the final word. Everything else is noise.

when ai leaves u behind
7 panel comic.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2: 
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist. He enjoys hurting people, there's plenty of accounts from even his childhood (throwing rocks at a baby) where he has done so. He enjoys hurting people when he holds the power and there will be no retribution or accountability. He was always going to war.

After decades of breathless media sycophants hanging on the every word of Musk or Altman or Yud, it is so cathartic to just go "these are clowns who couldn't run a lemonade stand without burning it down by mistake, and who have beliefs so crazy L Ron Hubbard might have side-eyed them"

I don't think Donald Trump is the Devil because he's particularly evil. He's stupid as shit and mendacious; that's enough. I think Donald Trump is the Devil because no person who deals with him is able to remember the fate of anyone else who's dealt with him. It's truly incredible.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

I think people underestimate the degree to which cult-like behavior and pathological lying dominates the AI industry. Just look at what happened when OpenAI’s board tried to oust Sam Altman for dishonesty and unethical behavior and the company rebelled—in favor of the lying and bad behavior.
