AI poses a danger to our cognitive capabilities, by clogging our capacity to develop the knowledge we need – in our heads – to navigate the world. It’s a cognitive hot dog. Read our detailed breakdown from @benjaminjriley.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

just gonna say it: the decline in quality of software made by Apple is precipitous and staggering. multiple issues i have encountered have rendered my devices more or less useless.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

If you want to drive in our densest, most transit-rich environments and cause pollution, congestion, and safety hazards, that’s fine, but you’ll have to pay and if that upsets you well so it goes. Drivers have had it their way for a century at the literal expense of everyone.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

The ‘liberal media’ was in the tank for Trump. Democrats should take their subscription dollars elsewhere.

I mean I find it difficult to wrap my head around “aw he probably doesn’t really mean that stuff” as a reason to vote for someone. So much so that I don’t really believe that people think that - I think they like that stuff, agree with that stuff, and just don’t have the cobbles to say so.

yah.. it is really insidious too. adhd-grade burnout really sneaks up on you. one day you just notice that you literally can’t summon any urgency/drive to do anything at all. and then it’s too late. you’re toast.
