I want to be cruel to AI models simply because it makes Elon and his tech overlord compatriots very sad.

For a few years in the early 2000s, tv commercials were almost more popular than the shows they interrupted. The Geico cavemen got spun off into a short-lived half hour sitcom!

The women that have chosen to bear Musk's spawn need to be gathered in a laboratory setting and studied. Seriously, this breaks my brain more than the women who wrote to Ted Bundy.

OMG, please please gut the big Big 4 accounting firms for AI. No way it leads to fraud on a massive scale. Impossible. Audits are super duper simple and never involve new accounting issues or a rapidly changing regulatory environments.

Beyond the conspicuous racism at play here, this seems like a massive own-goal by conservatives, since so many of the token minorities put forward by the current GOP are from the Indian subcontinent (Patel, Ramaswamy, D'Souza).

Right wing dems would rather destroy the life of a seven year old girl playing field hockey than bother a hair on a billionaire's head and I don't think that's winning politics.

Watching this, knowing that the entire GOP and like 25% of elected Dems think that they can gain electorally by claiming Mamdani is some communist boogeyman, and laughing at what it says about them that they find basic competence and humanity so threatening.

Typical small-c conservative; nothing can be bad until it impacts me directly. A tragedy that Renee Good had to die for her mother to find morals.

I'm a West Wing hater and I I agree completely. There are spaces in this country that sacred in a civil sense, and a single man destroying them to satisfy his own vanity cannot be allowed to pass without consequence.

Disappointed; but 20 y/o me was also unrealistic and had no idea of the health issues and multiple global economic crises 43 year old me would have lived through, so I'm ok with that. 43 year old me is happy with himself.

The thing about empires is there's always a Syracuse, an Adrianople, a Russia in winter, an Afghanistan, a Hormuz. That is the nature of them. Predatory, inherited power over others does not create patient competence. The hubris inevitably wins out, more devastatingly with each passing year.

The GOP calling Dems radical liberal (?) they/them lovers or what whatever is just standard rhetoric now. Dems need to stop abandoning marginalized people in an attempt to avoid the unavailable. These are real people with lives that are under threat, so stand for something instead of this.

I am very worried that Bannon, Carlson, and the other anti-Israel, anti-AI populists are going to trick a lot of people on the left into thinking they are allies, when what they actually are is National Socialists, complete with the antisemitism

If the end result of Bob Kraft getting Ed Sheeren to toss Macklemore from the tour ends up being that everyone quits, the shows get cancelled, and the asshole stadium owners must scramble to fill dates on short-notice, it will restore a small modicum of my faith in humanity.

I l've stopped driving for basically everything except my work commute and when I play golf out east on Long Island, and it has improved my mental and physical health in addition to the financial benefits of less gas use and less frequent maintenance.

I'd actually categorize it similarly to the American Civil War. Like the Confederacy, bin-Laden "won" the long game, but nowhere near the way he expected.

Oppenheim is currently a fucking real estate agent, and when he had an actual career, he represented corporate frauds like Enron. Could not be any less qualified to opine on anything that matters.

That number of signatures is roughly 1.3% of NYC's population, and I am sure the majority of the signers live on Long Island or Westchester. These people are an insignificant minority. They are dumber than dog shit. They are gutter racists. And their opinions should be mocked.

In fact it was the total opposite. I remember when I was at PriceWaterhouse in 2006-2008 and the big policy was "no company emails on info on your iPhone".

Even if Talarico loses, that the GOP is having to dump vast resources into a Senate race in Texas is a massive strategic win for Democrats.

When secession finally came, the one major point of agreement between the "let them go" and "fight for the union" camps was that the planter aristocracy were a bunch of sociopathic tyrants with whom they could not share a polite society.

Every Fever game is a circus & the WNBA is the constant subject of some of the most horrific harassment I’ve seen an entire organized sport subjected to. And this door was opened by a few white women backstabbing their coworkers. Also, the article got the name of the Connecticut Sun incorrect.
