Someone needs to ask these AI assholes exactly *how* their autocorrect machines will end humanity. What are the exact mechanisms? Make them say those words out loud so we can all see just how fucking stupid they sound.

Got my mail-in ballot today here in the free state of Illinois. There is no seriously contested race where I live, but I will still cherish filling in each and every circle, even for the 443 judges.

Every few months we get people extrapolating from a sports clip to determine some guy in the stands needs to get dumped and his wife/girlfriend to upgrade, and every time there's a post-din reveal that says quite a few of you need to touch grass

It's just another link in the apparently infinite chain of mind-boggling things he's gotten away with, but literally any other president who ordered the FBI to stop investigating a sitting senator for bribery would have resulted in at least three impeachments by the weekend.

A useful way to think about it is to imagine a republican candidate saying one thing that you liked, agreeing with you on exactly one issue. That would totally work, right? Donald Trump announces he’s for one thing you are also for and then you vote for him. See how stupid it sounds.

20yo me would take one look at this situation, hop a fence at O’Hare, and jump into a jet engine. But I think that says more about that stupid, myopic kid than it does about the life I live today.

To achieve this, we will cut funding for public transportation, tear out bike lanes, force people to work five days a week in an office, and reduce investment in electric cars.

This is one reason I find the left-lib panic on here about Johnson pulling some shenanigans in January to refuse to seat the new House, or whatever, to be fucking ridiculous. That guy is the single biggest chickenshit wandering the Capitol. He doesn't have it in him.

Watching the Big Ten network and just saw an attack ad for a race where I’ve never heard of either candidate. Googled it, it’s a House race in Orange Country (CA). That’s just setting money on fire, isn’t it? 99% of this audience can’t vote and doesn’t care.

If you'd told me that day that exactly 25 years from then I'd be at Logan on a sunny morning, waiting to board an American Airlines cross-country flight...man, idk. I don't know if there's any deeper insight to pull. The world keeps turning, you gotta find a way to turn with it.

What level of sociopathy is it when your reaction to people being underwhelmed by your product is pivoting to "Actually it's so powerful it might kill everyone."
