Journalists keep wanting the story to be "normal working class centrist has questions," not "our country is currently dominated by stupid people in a right wing echo chamber."

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Vance has learned one thing from Trump: the art of unembarrassed, extravagant, effortless, conscienceless lying, no matter how big and how obviously absurd. I don’t know if conservatives will take it, from him, but he’s gonna give it to them in big slop buckets. Almost as big as Trump’s.

“JD Vance defends Trump's taxpayer-funded propaganda videos: "If you look at the message of those advertisements, they are not partisan, it's not like we're advocating for a particular candidate"”

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I think this is part of the reason I get so heated over this. Not only are you betting on Elon Musk and look like the biggest sucker in history, you're also saying that you consider a chatbot app to be AI which makes you look even dumber. It's an app. It's not alive. And you're using it to be lazy

I have been a guest at conventions where, during the pre-con walk through, my handler has pointed out the bar and mentioned how some guests are "more fun" and "get asked back," then names only men. Because a lot of female guests aren't comfortable hanging out around alcohol with strangers.

Oh GOD. Centrists are so, so, SO damned stupid. Austerity doesn't work. We know it doesn't work. We literally have data showing it doesn't work. The Keynesian approach — pump money into the economy — does work. But billionaires hate it, and billionaires own legislators. I need a painkiller.
