AI boosters act like people who have tried heroin for the first time. I believe you when you say it's amazing, but I won't be participating. We have different reasons for living, apparently.

Come on, Grassley. You were on deck and you went and let Graham take your spot?
The more AI can help you with your job the more anyone can do your job.
The last nugget of credit I gave Trump supporters was he didn't seem as eager to start middle east wars as typical Republicans. Now their humiliation is complete.
It's interesting to reflect on how far you have come in life. 20 years ago I had to take out a loan because I didn't have $5000 for a used car. Today I asked my wife to loan me $5000 because I didn't have money for a used car.
America right now is Wile E. Coyote, having run off the cliff edge, but not yet having fallen to leave a cartoon dust cloud hovering in space.
The fact that a mass shooter just walking away free from the scene and remaining at large isn't screaming front page news shows that societal collapse is already here.
Everyone, I'm begging you, before you have a performance review or salary negotiation, plug your current salary in to an inflation calculator and see what it is in 2016 dollars to see what you REALLY make. Corporate America is banking on your ignorance.
My music taste is basically the bad guys in Sinners. Should I be worried?
Democrats need to have an AI disinformation campaign locked and loaded to answer the inevitable Republican efforts before the 2026 midterms. We need a mutually assured destruction superweapon ready to go the instant Republicans try it.
Everyone needs to go to an inflation calculator and put in your 2016 salary and compare the adjusted amount with your current salary.
America is Wile-E-Coyote, having run off the cliff edge but not yet fallen.
Senate Dems basically just confessed to a crime they didn't commit.
The Abundance pundits who are enthralled with Trump's ability to "just do things" don't understand that the supreme Court treats Democratic presidents as aberrations or frauds but Republican presidents as representing the true will of the people. Democrats will never be allowed to "just do things."
The instinct to be snarky, dismissive, or even to express outright approval for the destruction of the white house by some on the left exhibits perfectly why so many normies are repulsed by us. If we ever want to win I'm begging us to make an effort to suppress the urge to be obnoxious. For once.
Normies HATE seeing beloved architectural icons destroyed, but the instinct of some on the left to immediately say "the white house was built by slaves / represents America's colonial evil I didn't care it is destroyed" shows why we KEEP LOSING. Use opportunities to grow yoru movement, not alienate!
How much you want to bet they are using AI to tell them which "drug boats" to blow up?
Conservatives want to destroy the federal government but they are too stupid to realize it is the very mechanism that gives them power disproportionate to their actual numbers. A shattered union would just re assemble itself with blue states capturing power in proportion to their economic influence.
I keep finding people in real life who don't use Firefox with uBlock Origin. I haven't seen an ad on YouTube for 10 years, yet other people seem to subject themselves to them out of a misplaced sense of guilt. Guys, Google just "settled" (bribed) Trump with millions. Block those ads save your sanity
Conservatives get to indulge in and even enact their darkest genocidal fantasies, but liberals must OF COURSE condemn any violence or threats against ice personnel. Conservatives are the spoiled brats of politics and liberals are the adults.
The right might have bungled backlash politics so badly they have made the left madder about Kimmel getting suspended then the right is mad about Kirk getting fucking shot to death. Also I am antifa.
