@joshuadysart.bsky.social with all do respect; idk what you were smoking when you wrote this but… smoke more of it. Please. Fucking hilarious. 🤣

If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.

AIPAC: "Our members remain determined to ensure that voters reject Dr. El-Sayed and his radical anti-Israel agenda in November."

My God, they sent Sarah Connor back in time to finally get the job done.

I'll probably wait and see Brand New Day on an airplane, but I love this showcase of real, working people behind the scenes. It reminds viewers that movies are people, they are craftspeople and tradespeople and artists and moms and dads. Fuck auteur theory, up with the team!

New behind-the-scenes look at the post-production team of ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ (via destindaniel | IG)

in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon

Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

So, the last issue of IS TED OK? dropped almost a week ago, so maybe now I'll compile some thoughts in a thread!? First, again, huge thanks to everyone who bought it, read it, and helped spread the word. This is a project that managed to keep momentum through six issues and it was so exciting!

Yous are going to make me do this myself aren’t you

I’m approaching 50 of these, does anyone want to print them nicely into a book and send them out to my low double digits marketable audience for me?

Look how easy it was for corporations to steal from us: Step 1: Trump enacts tariffs Step 2: Corporations pass the tax onto consumers Step 3: SCOTUS declares it illegal Step 4: Corporations demand 166 billion refund FOR THEMSELVES Step 5: Corporations steal 166 billion from the middle class

ICYMI: We have to stop dividing our problems into “left & right" & start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.” 977 U.S. billionaires have a combined wealth of 9.2 trillion & they funneled it out of the middle class. Then they keep us fighting with each other while they steal more.

Ohhhh... a procrastination device... let's do it, answers in thread

Ben McKenzie maps out the potential crypto crimes of Trump & members of his Executive Branch—specifically how they’ve benefited from their financial ties to the shady foreign operator, Tether. Gulp down this #CupOfJoe full of significant facts.

It's telling that every homeless person, even sober, is automatically a sign of "the drug problem." But belligerently intoxicated tourists — a far worse danger to those of us living and working downtown — somehow never are.

I miss when cable TV had absolutely no money and tons of airtime to fill so they'd be like fuck it what about a guy and a puppet make fun of movies? what if we just take all this old cartoon shit we have and make a talk show?

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

A defining moment of my childhood was first hearing the words, "The city of New York becomes the one maximum security prison for the entire country." I was ten, and it wasn't just that specific idea, but that we could tell stories about huge, goofy speculative concepts like it, mind blowing.

How convenient that the software is [checks notes] doing this all of its own free will and not, say, created and trained by people who could be held responsible for this.

It is not a "rogue" AI. It is a computer program with instructions to pass hacking exams and not properly sandboxed when doing it. OpenAI trained it, and that training incentivized it to see cheating via hacking as the most expedient way to solve its tests.
