People playing the both sides game with SoapGirls and saying 'its just music' are also the folks who say voting doesn't matter. Ignore these people. Fight racists and white nationalists. SoapGirls should be sent back to SA with tails between their legs.

hey people sorry if some of you breeze past this part but it’s Friday. We do AI discourse on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday is for stuff that rocks and is actually fun. It’s in the TOS & the packet you got at orientation. get it together please

This is the funniest shit. Florida allows religious exemptions for vaccines. Catholic schools in Florida: we require vaccines. Florida's attorney general, who is Catholic, is threatening to pull vouchers if they don't allow for religious exemptions The Bishops: separation of church & state

Catholic bishops remind attorney general about separation of church and state

“The government may not decide that Church teaching is insufficiently religious,” wrote the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops.

so when this 1st screenshot about natalie harp was making the rounds yesterday, it came up in a group chat i’m in — and our smartest member (guy who knows a lot about a lot) taught us some things i wish i didn’t know but now i know them so you have to know them too!

The author noted that while no one in the Trump camp suspects a sexual relationship, there is nonetheless a conviction that Harp
is hopelessly in love with Trump and determined to be his "higher purpose bride."
"It's a Christian devotional relationship, one Trump aide told Wolff.About that "christian devotional relationship"
They're trying to wrap Christian terminology around it but this has zero history in Christianity afaik — it's just pretty much what you would guess. Devoted young "bride" who worships someone as a living god. Back in the day, if they lived, they caused succession fights, so most successful governments learned to entomb them with their Pharoah.
She's a true believer. She is literally symbolically married to her god. It's really traditional in cults - places where the religio-political leader is a sort of living god.
Standard among pharaohs, King David had one, many kings had them, many modern cults have them.Basically, a young and very impressionable person of the appropriate gender who wants to be the bride of the cult leader; when the cult leader is very old, it becomes quasi-symbolic, but they can actively seek to become the keeper of the leader and essentially his voice, so can become quite powerful in the cult.
So often, established priests deal with this by essentially encouraging human sacrifice of the brides as part of the funeral process.
When they don't, this person can sometimes become dangerously powerful in the aftermath.
But this would explain why everyone is so sensitive about her being mentioned or noticed.

Perhaps Darth Vader can send a thank you card to Andreessen Horowitz — a VC that is one of the major investors in Flock. Andreessen Horowitz is also now one of the biggest political spenders in the 2026 midterms — pumping millions into super PACs for crypto, AI, and Trump. Always follow the money.

Unspeakably disgraceful. Doris Miller was a mess attendant -- the only jobs open to Black sailors -- who won the Navy Cross at Pearl Harbor. With this, and reports USN leaders are considering changing the design of aircraft carriers *because Trump said so* -- the Navy is dishonoring itself.

(CNN) - The US Navy is working to rename an aircraft carrier under construction that was set to honor a Black sailor hailed for his heroic actions during .. Pearl Harbor .. .. there have been internal conversation about renaming it to honor Trump.” @halbritz.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2026/08/20/p...

I maintain that consumer AI products would have been received very differently if they were launched with promises like, "You can query this to sort through your inbox of 50,000 emails" rather than "What if artists starved in the streets? :)"

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

As little as I already thought of the man I'm in awe of what he's accomplished in 15 short months. Historic run. Basically threw away all his fire extinguishers and told every firefighter in town to eat shit, and then set his house on fire. We need a separate Mount Rushmore for morons
