If we do not immediately eliminate the death penalty in the United States we are not only a barbaric nation but a willfully vicious and bloodthirsty one with a "pro-life" court whose hypocrisy puts Robespierre to shame.

Add a dash of sesame oil and cayenne pepper, some marijuana before eating, and all my troubles disappear. 😊

I grew to, well, dislike Sam Altman reading "Empire of AI". I would now be willing to pay serious money to watch a livestream of him being slowly tortured, recuperated, tortured, etc. I'm not a good person.

The closest thing to this was a discussion of environmental trade-offs, which roughly said you can use huge amounts of energy (generated somehow) air conditioning your servers and thus use less water, or a huge amount of water cooling and use a bit less energy.

This. I've heard many times the impact is “overstated ", but never seen anyone saying that actually citing evidence, nor can I find it. Serious question: where is this information?

So the answer to Klobuchar’s “did you confuse the Hawkeyes for the Hawks” question appears to be “oh no, we’re way fuckin dumber than that.”

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

This is not only fixing a problem that doesn't really exist (while creating a new one for anyone who owns a Sprinter van), it shows how obsessed some politicians are with banishing anyone so poor they have to live in their vehicle to points outside city limits.

Listen, i may not be a football girlie but game theory-wise i will say this: the way Robert Kraft collaborated with other NFL owners to get Macklemore kicked off of Ed Sheeran's tour speaks to why Colin Kaepernick was never given another shot after taking a knee for racial justice.

The real legacy of 9/11 is what we see happening in the US right now. Organizations purportedly formed to combat terrorism are being used by a demented sociopathic president to terrorize the citizens of the US, and turn the nation into a white supremacist dictatorship.

My favorite Bugs cartoon is a WWII-era one about gremlins in the plane. One of the very rare cartoons where Bugs "loses", and it is absolutely brilliant because of that.

Write it on the blackboard a thousand times: they will have to demolish the ballroom, the arch and so forth. They will have to make a show of it. You will get the usual sons of bitches saying we don’t do that in this country. We do now. That is not emotion, it’s politics. To do less is dereliction.

Very tiring how it's closing in on 5 years of the full scale invasion and people still insist this is about "legitimate security concerns" when the Russians will just tell you what their goals are and why they're doing what they're doing

So sure, USAID was a tool of US soft power and political influence, and also, I sometimes get the sense that people saying this don’t quite comprehend the torrent of death, horror, and pain that is currently unfolding from the genuinely evil decision to suddenly destroy it.

@wnba.com You really better be banning Enes Kantor for life from everything WNBA-related. If not, you can kiss your league goodbye. It is getting dangerous and you as an organization are going to have to take a true moral stand here. No more "we can have a reasonable discussion" bullshit.

This all also kind of ties back into my growing frustration with how a bunch of y'all are like actively anti-sex and not in a "I'm just not comfortable with it" kind of way but in a "I'm not comfortable with it so it shouldn't exist" type of way that is actively harmful to people.

So often what are called “culture wars” are one set of people saying “please can we live without perpetual persecution” and another saying “no, f*** you” but the press considering the latter group have “legitimate concerns” and must be perpetually platformed
