Another Millennial just trying to navigate all this madness. Every so often I'll have a maybe insightful, maybe moronic thought I feel like sharing.

Every politician that tries to say datacenters and AI companies can self regulate, is lying. They'll never report things that don't make them look good unless explicitly required to, and even then...

When called out about being completely wrong, Schmitt just raises his voice and doubles down talking shit. The dude was factually wrong, talking out his ass like a moron, and because he's (R) he can't just admit he made a mistake.

Even if Mango Mussolini has protection, there's a whole backlog of chucklefucks that enabled and participated in his crimes. Dems need to hold them accountable when they are back in power.

I donated some money to charity, and I wasn't going to say anything about it, but then I realized I can make a joke out of it. "Dad I gave $1000 to charity" [pause for effect] "I know she's a stripper but I really love her."

It's really reassuring to know people way smarter than me work on these things. Especially fascinated that the reactor is basically trying to shut itself down all the time.

Spread the word, there's a risk of losing one of the oldest museums in the country. Drexel University and the Board of the Academy of Natural Sciences announced the closure of the public museum on the Parkway. We do not accept closure. The story is not over yet, and you can help change the ending.

I love this bit of foreshadowing between the Oracle and Neo in The Matrix: Oracle: You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something. Neo: What? Oracle: Your next life maybe, who knows? That's the way these things go.

I was vaguely familiar with the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, but I never knew Plato's take was "the gods were punking him, if he really loved her, he would have just killed himself to be with her." You learn something new every day.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” From LOTR, where a big round orange asshole is ruining everything.

Maybe I'm just being delusionally optimistic, but Trump may have fucked up the global oil markets so badly, this could be the kick in the ass the world needs to get onto renewables. It would actually be hilarious if Trump's attempt to get oil failed so hard it pushes the world past oil altogether.

Ed Sheeran, arguably one of the most milquetoast motherfuckers on Earth, managed to gag himself so hard on billionaire Robert 'Rub & Tug' Kraft's boot, that it's turned into an ongoing PR disaster. Stuff like this gives me hope.
