if you're feeling down about genAI please remember that it is a) intensely unpopular b) immensely unprofitable c) being propped up by people who NEED it to succeed, will spend any amount to create an illusion of a win but still keep failing and leaving the people they work with caked in shit

instead of reaching the sensible “MeToo did not go far enough” conclusion, what if we just go back to investigating suspicious Wayfair listings and mis-analyzing Eyes Wide Shut

By the way, if someone is serving for the United States military, it is a bit old fashioned to say "thank you for your service", perhaps try instead: "you are a traitor to the human race."

The @houseofcommons.parliament.uk must think twice before championing this tech firm. Behind the polished pitch lies a company built on data exploitation, manipulation, and—by many measures—a potentially criminal business model. Public trust and national security are at stake.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

JK Rolwing deserves more shit for taking so much of the romance out of the cultural perception of wizards. Hearing the word "wizard" should conjure images of Saruman standing atop Orthanc bringing a storm on the Pass of Caradhras. Not boarding school children.

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power. The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power. Both sides are not remotely the same.

Everyone keeps pointing out that antifa isn't a group with a central structure and, unfortunately, that's kind of the point of this. They know antifa isn't a defined group. They're going to use that to their advantage. Learn how to use a gun.

He outlawed "woke" and "DEI," and even though no one's quite sure what those mean, thousands of people have lost their funding and their jobs as a result. That's why a vague "outlaw antifa" is far more dangerous than if there actually was an identifiable organization like, say, Planned Parenthood.

At this point in my life I have very little patience for people attributing malice to "the devs" if a game comes out bad. Like come on what are you 14. The moment you work anywhere in any industry it becomes very apparent that most boneheaded decisions are from management and grunts have to deal

I used to think the whole idealism vs materialism thing didn’t matter but every time you argue with a liberal you get to the center of the point which is that they mystify all of society and history. They detach institutions from the class structures that created and sustain them

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.” If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

Choosing to starve people is political violence. Refusing to recognize human rights is political violence. Wielding armed forces to intimidate populations is political violence. Reverting laws back to previous iterations that disrespect human rights is political violence.

Charlie KIrk believed that empathy was a "new concept" that shouldn't exist, so anyone who expresses condolences for him is being VERY disrespectful to his beliefs right now. please keep him out of your thoughts as he begins his transition into worm food. thank you
