It's weird to me that almost nobody uses "sour grapes" correctly, including Ossoff today and everyone who commented on his remarks. It's not another way to say that someone is bitter or a sore loser. (1/2)

This is ancient history by now but it's forever still the best context for why people should boycott Meta products and never trust anything Zuckerberg has control over. His products have been gross, invasive, and predatory since day 1. #facebook #meta

Obviously if Musk's wealth was capped by law at $200 billion then we wouldn't have SpaceX today. Who would want to build an ambitious company for such a pathetic amount of money?

He is always alluding to some mysterious new war that is coming soon, which is said to destroy Washington DC. But conveniently the solution to this is once again the billion-dollar ballroom he wants (now with drones on top). This has definitely reached a Dr Strangelove level of satire.

The midterm elections are coming up, which means many new underwhelming candidates who will make us all despair and lament our chances to beat the MAGA cult. Fortunately, I've hired the best PR firm money can buy to help turn this ship around. #dobisPR youtu.be/YviYufXRw0g

Not sure how anyone who is paying attention can still call this a "stochastic parrot". OpenAI's general-purpose reasoning model (not math-specific) just disproved a central conjecture by Erdos which all experts in the subfield had spent time pondering. #AI #math #computing

I'm intrigued by the idea that reading comprehension is gradually but steadily declining on the internet. Newsom made a relatively simple joke that takes ten seconds to understand, yet he's flooded with replies of the "Bush was bad/dumb though! How could you say that!?" variety.

When people talk about corporate propaganda they bring up Hot Coffee and it irritates me because the much more substantial example is the astroturf campaign by meat industry lobbyists against PETA, but it barely gets talked about because it plays into society's biases. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

You’re wrong about PETA

The nonprofit is a punchline. It’s also forced the world to face factory farming, animal cruelty, and our own hypocrisy.

I guess it was inevitable the admins of this platform — the only viable alternative to X, which has become truly malevolent and perpetuates great harm — would eventually get dog-piled and become a punching bag. Huge swathes of the left do not know how to keep perspective at all.
