popped open the replies to steve yegge's "if you are mean to claude we can't be friends any more" essay on x and fully half are crypto scam bait. everything is a scam now. everything.
i am watching my cat try to use a fork. she found a plastic fork somewhere and is batting it around trying to grip it but she has no opposable thumbs, the best she can do is pounce on it and make it bounce. i have no idea why she wants to use a fork. *looks over* she just ran off. with the fork.
motherfuckers trying to preach about how we should understand the evil agenda of the AI companies, and you can read all about it on their paywalled Substack newsletter.
my parents rolled up the car windows whenever we drove through Black neighborhoods because they said they were smelly and dirty and it wasn't until i was a teenager that i realized my parents were extremely racist anyway here's trumpybear
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
pirro was just spotted removing her things from the west wing, i'm sure that's just a coincidence
Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social · 2d ago“.. The president is ‘furious’ with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend.” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...
there are many people who work in the ai coding field who are keeping up with the almost daily changes, able to give a good review of where things are and where they're going, and where the industry is headed. steve yegge is not one of those people.
i think a lot of this is loomer getting out ahead of the post-trump maga split and forming a "realist" wing with marjorie taylor greene and let me tell you, loomer and taylor greene as 'realists' just helps to emphasize how insanely out there people like candace owens and tucker carlson are.
ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com · 2d agoLaura, and I can't emphasize this enough, LOOMER doing this. what the fuck man
my real poll numbers live in canada. you wouldn't know them.

It seems relevant that the thing Isaiah is being sent to do in that passage is to deliver a prophecy of doom to his own people for having fallen away from the path of righteousness. So if these guys were like, Isaiah, that would be robustly bad news for...the United States.

OK, so if you ever wonder at the definition of DARVO, this is it. What a slime. Typical of Trumpists - utterly unaware of what it means to actually be a man and a husband.

I'm not going to have a Hank Green take because I don't watch youtube longform vids, but in general AI is a tool and it can be used ethically and it can also be used to rot your brain and the purveyors would prefer the latter and at this point I could be talking about either AI or youtube.
the "hank green used ai" discourse is insane (forget it jake, it's bluesky) but my favorite was a notable user asserting AI use is identical to consulting a sex worker and thus inherently male coded and all i have to say to that is that someone is unaware of what gender uses companion bots in china
surely THIS time bombing will force iran to surrender surely this time gotta work hey how's that logistics going

One of the worst parts about being chronically depressed is that if you kill yourself by accidentally leaving your gas stove on for 24 hours everyone will think it’s a suicide instead of understanding that you’re really just a doofus.
no, the enemy does not get a vote. centcom has been very clear about this one. it's how our WARFIGHTERS have defeated iran 20 times so far.
@foggydrinker.bsky.social · 5d agoAlso what if Iranian BMs are still slamming into gulf oil terminals and refineries come market open? They have to agree to stop...
Reading LinkedIn with a connection group of hundreds of long-time game developers has been a profoundly depressing experience for years now, but at this point I would classify it as literal self-harm. It’s that bad.
ANTHROPIC: Our son loves humanity and for the low price of trillions and trillions of dollars will usher in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity! OPENAI: Our horrible oafish son is hacking web sites without our permission. ANTHROPIC: (eyes narrowing) Our son is also evil

So, Josiah Lippincott is a Hillsdale College PhD (why does a college have a PhD program? To mint bullshit credentials for culture warriors, of course) whose scholarship argues that the USA should have stayed neutral in WWII and let the Axis murder everyone. That's who they're hiring.
