If Stevens had made it to the general election and lost in the fall, the argument would have been that the left cost the Dems the Senate. The left is pretty used to the media narrative always being “the left is at fault.”

If sayed loses in the fall then the argument will be the left cost the Dems the senate which would be bad IMO

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Having successfully achieved its first part-of-rocket Moon landing, SpaceX forecasts a parts-of-people Moon landing by 2030.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

The funny thing is that even Grok is like "yo, this is bullshit." But then the replies to that are "you can't trust Grok, it's too woke." Being on X melts your brain.

These guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.

It’s Amy Coney Barrett all over again. Collins, facing reelection, will vote no on an anti-abortion nominee who gets confirmed anyway

Alice Miranda Ollstein@alicemiranda.bsky.social · 24h ago

BREAKING: Susan Collins cited our report on Blanche's promise on a private call with religious activists to restrict abortion pills in announcing today she will not vote to confirm him. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

Why just the other day I filled my car’s gas tank with $1.99 per gallon milk. Thank you President Trump!

Tom Emmer on Republicans trailing Dems by 8 points in the generic ballot: "Right now there are great things happening in our economy. Nobody wants to talk about 78 cent eggs, nobody wants to talk about milk that's under $2. No no. They want to focus on gas prices."

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.

oh no the Blue Sox are trading Jackston Fuxley for Hjonwald Mendoza!!!! this is what you sound like

We asked 1500 degenerate online libertarian guys who are all trying to screw each other over constantly what they think is going to happen in the world, and the answer might surprise you.

Trump: “My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Media, are the best they have ever been”

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

"if I'm so abusive why would somebody I'm causing a conflict with act to appease me? Checkmate liberals"

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

The Republican Party has gone full mask-off Nazi; meanwhile the media narrative being pushed 24/7 is “ahhh! Democrats are being taken over by socialist radicals!!” and their terrifying examples are Miss Rachel, a doctor who wants you to have healthcare, and the friendliest mayor in American history.

Party that spent the last decade grooming and funding and encouraging blind nazi ideologues to run for office and government positions : uh oh

One of my favorite things recently is James Carville FaceTiming into centrist festivals from his death bed with no recline to complain about any Democrat under the age of 60. Invariably his corpse winds up on Fox News. Master of communications right here.

Now when you complain about every video on YouTube having an LLM summary that pops up to spoil the comedy sketch you're watching there's an AI superfan who will say "THE ADVANCEMENTS THIS HAS MADE IN PURE MATH MEANS YOU HAVE TO SHUT UP" reminds me of peak NFT

Trib Ed board deciding how to react to young people downtown

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com · 4d ago

From the Editorial Board: Sparkly, semiattired Lolla kids are this weekend swarming around such oft-deserted environs as Van Buren Street, Jackson Boulevard and State Street. Welcome. Your presence and youthful energy could not be more timely.

Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die has been sitting in my To Watch pile forever and I finally got around to it. The silliest serious movie or the most serious silly movie?

Someone on here (@jamellebouie.net?) noted a while back that dealership assholes like Moreno are a bedrock of MAGA politics and the Democrats would be wise to do whatever they can to drive these moronic middlemen out of business.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 4d ago

The best part of this rant was millionaire Bernie Moreno telling the world that he was so infuriated sitting on his couch in 2020 watching Anthony Fauci save people's lives that he had no choice but to sell off all his many car dealerships and run for the Senate. #Hero #Saint #Self-Sacrifice

A Tesla with the bumper sticker “I Bought This While Elon Was Going Crazy, Publicly Descending Further Into Fascist Bigotry Every Day, But Ultimately I Decided It Was More Important For Me To Have A Car With An iPad In The Dashboard That Could Play Fart Sounds”

whenever someone tells you that it's simply impossible for police to be charged with misconduct or criminal charges, you can tell they're wrong because some cops do get charged regularly — when they are whistleblowers or reformers prosecutors are actually extremely eager to help drum them out!

Prosecutors charged an LAPD officer with felony eavesdropping for making secret recordings of his colleagues’ racist, sexist and homophobic comments on the job

It's Swiss Independence Day! Here's a drawing of William Tell, the retired country crossbowman & Swiss folk hero who, in 1307, was, as a cruel jest by his captors, given the chance to save himself & his young son from execution if he could shoot an apple off his son's head at an absurd distance. 1/

I at least appreciate Hank Green coming out and taking his lumps (though not yet here on BlueSky)*. But Jesus Christ what a cock-up. * I believe the established protocol is to post a dramatic mea culpa and call us all hogs
