This sounds like literally the beginning of a sci-fi thriller about how AI killed all of humanity. James Cameron and the Wachowskis wish they had this plot.

Well despite my 35 year insistence I would never watch it, I have now seen "Manos: The Hands of Fate" for the first and only time along with @frankconniff.bsky.social and @tracebeaulieu.bsky.social. You'll be able to witness that viewing and all that was said during it by year's end via The Mads.

Today is the 89th anniversary of the publication of The Hobbit. Here's a thread on interesting glimpses the book gave us into the legendarium Tolkien had at that stage already been working on for over twenty years but which readers at the time would have had no sense of.

It's important to remind readers that while there are a few anti-trans dems, many are doing great work. Spanberger in VA did not flinch at anti-trans attacks. Now, she just ended Governor Youngkin's infamous rule that would ban trans students from bathrooms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Not sure if people know Wakefield was trying to sell a competing measles vaccine when he made up his fraudulent study about the MMR. It was only after that failed (because he is a complete fraud) that he started grifting off opposing all vaccines. It’s all just a grift. Antivaxxers are their marks.

The rich and powerful have been completely insulated from accountability for their failures for too long, too. “Golden Parachutes” are a promise that you will be rewarded for your fuck-ups. Nothing changes for them after they drive a company extinct. Just move to the next profit extraction point.

Seeing people complain about the forthcoming Warlock game ditching waypoints, because they “save time.” Which is true, but so would having a button that auto-kills all the enemies. That’s sort of the point of a game: to waste time on unnecessary challenges. www.ign.com/articles/war...

Like, you understand if the President dies or is incapacitated the Vice President takes the office per the Constitution and he wouldn’t have to get elected and that that’s why Vance was picked to be VP?

I mean, correct. He’s not actually very bright. Just extremely evil. But Vance is a true believer in Thiel’s technofascist ideals and has been since he worked for Thiel at Mithril Capital. Thiel is 100% responsible for Vance’s political career.

Mike Davis held influential roles in a previous Republican Senate and the current Republican administration, but again, he's clearly not as important as some unaffiliated Twitch streamer, so no one in the mainstream media is going to demand any Republican denounce his gutter racism.

Yeah, but what kind of “investigation” is actually needed? He’s not been hiding the corruption; it’s all right out in the open. Just write down the illegal things he’s brazenly done in office into Articles of Impeachment and get on with it.

What’s absolutely wild is that they hate one another for wanting just *slightly* different types of fascism. They both want a white ethnostate of course, but Fuentes wants it to be a Catholic theocracy and Miller wants classical National Socialism.

There needs to be a global moratorium on frontier research for at least a few months if not a year while safeguards and safety research catches up. The problem is that no one has that ability. The labs are in a game theory prisoners dilemma to keep pushing the frontier.
