When I say that Newsom sucks this is why, everyone I know in California fucking hates him. Libs AND centrists hate him b/c he only seems to do policies backed by the ultra wealthy, cons hate him because 'dumbocrat lol' but sure he makes funny tweets so make him President.

I stopped rooting for the Cleveland Browns years ago when they adopted the policy of hiring domestic abusers to play. But I will say that if the current sexual and domestic abuser leads them to a super bowl win, it'll be the most Cleveland thing imaginable Just straight up cursed monkeypaw wish.

Just a reminder, the people who are upset about this are the same people who have gleefully fucked the mental health of billions of people through their products. I'll believe they give a shit about AI welfare when they start to give a shit about people.

I'm a little bit surprised that Hegseth didn't announce a strategic partnership with Crayola and Chevrolet to provide a steady supply of crayons and Camaros.

The thing that Hegseth does not understand is that without tenure they're not going to get good professors. They're going to get the sort of hacks that nowhere else wants to hire because they're cranks and assholes. So good job dude! www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

Feels a little bit like the tech bros watched Trump do the whole "The strait is open!/No we're at war again!" bullshit and decided to do their own version where it's like "Ooh the AI is going to kill us all! Give us money!" and I'm just exhausted by how stupid it all is.

Truly awesome. Part of this is that potash sits at about $350 a ton but to ship 1 ton of potash across from Belarus to the US will run anywhere from $6000 to $9,000 per ton, so we will be paying 20+ times what it would be to get from Canada. So Much Winning

They're on their bullshit again. I am honestly confused as to what they think these texts are accomplishing.
A text from a scammer or political operative claiming to be from JD Vance reading "I try to be a nice guy but I need to lay down the law here. This is your final notice" followed by a spammy looking link. The reply is a photo of Vance with a dick drawn over his nose.

Last few days our Honey Gouramis have been showing signs of possible breeding. Our male (Honey) built a big bubble nest and has been defending it. We couldn't get a look at whether it had eggs in it but just now my son discovered that the eggs had hatched and we have honey gourami fry.

Flock is trying to recruit ARTISTS on job recruiting sites. I saw this while helping an artist friend look for part-time jobs and nearly vomited. “Visual storytelling” — What in the Leni Riefenstahl is this shit?
The whole nauseating post:

Creative Director

Job details
• $200,000 - $250,000 a year
Stock options

• Remote in Los Angeles, CA
Full job description
The Problem
Flock's creative group is expanding as the company raises its standard of visual storytelling and campaign execution across brand, film, and digital experiences. This momentum creates a need for unified creative leadership to turn complex technology and public safety outcomes into compelling, human-centered narratives.

Anyone who still thinks the Dems and these groups are just 'playing' and will move on to handle this issue once they've 'won'. No. They won't. And since most of us don't have the $$$ required to actually have these groups give a shit it's okay to deny them the one thing you do have. Your vote.
