you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

"Against edgelordism in all its forms" is becoming a foundational principle for me. Civilization is impossible without an unflinching commitment to pro-social behavior and a willingness to marginalize any deviation.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

The basic problem in Israel & Palestine is that the Oslo Accords ended with Rabin dead at the hands of the right wing that's dominated Israeli politics since. We could not acknowledge this shift without reengineering our entire regional policy, so we didn't.

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

The online feed of the Vegas-Sharks pre-season game showed this sign in the crowd.
San Jose Sharks fan holding a sign that says “Golden Knights are the Cybertruck of the NHL”
Below are three photos.
The first has text which reads “A real NHL fan always speaks ill of the Vegas Golden Knights.”
The second is a mock up of a police mug shot with Vegas player Carter Hart.
The third picture shows Carter Hart in goalie gear with a red circle and slash superimposed on him.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

2. "And how did you come by this information? "A little investigating. It wasn't that hard, actually."

Thinking about them* today *Flagee and Ribbon
Aaron McGruder's comic strip The Boondocks, published October 19, 2001

Three panels:
1. Editor's note: For the select few who are not daily readers of the comics, "The Boondocks" has been indefinitely replaced by the uproarious fun of "The Adventures of Flagee and Ribbon." 
2. A yellow ribbon icon says: Hey, Flagee, I heard someone on the radio say that if we kill innocent people, we're no better than the terrorists. An American flag image replies: "That's left-wing, radical-hippie-communist thinkin', Ribbon
3. Flagee: "You talk like that again, I'll have to drag you out into the street and shoot you myself!" Robbin: "Yes, Flagee."

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

The US media cannot comprehend a southern belle country singer who was unapologetically "woke" because that goes against all the narratives they've been reinforcing. So Dolly has to become "neutral" despite her vocally, repeatedly taking the progressive side in the so-called "culture wars"
