TIL that ICE would 'never' murder people in-flight. It's just not procedure. Uh huh.

I didn’t read a dozen different novels about the dangers of AI and its related tech (who all predicted exactly how it would work) to decide all those people were wrong and use it anyway

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Let’s be real, this all happened when Trump hadn’t yet figured out how to weaponize or monetize such efforts in his first term and if it had happened today, Trump absolutely would have derailed the vaccine effort for personal gain and leveraged it to threaten political enemies

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 19h ago

Everybody’s a critic. Sure his delusionality was dangerous during Covid, but that didn’t stop him from supporting a program that created a vaccine in record time.

Ok, I'll do this. 1 like, 1 answer.

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

Sadly it is the case that this has been internalized to such an extent that there are otherwise normal people who will look at an online space and wonder what's wrong with it if they aren't seeing people openly discussing 1920s race science right away

Conservative views aren't being suppressed here, they are just A) not being boosted and B) incredibly unpopular because they are odious

That transition from Ryland Grace touching the Hail Mary's window (realizing he's in space) and the ship then moving past the camera is so good....

Work makes you free, or some shit

Rollins: "For those who love work and celebrate work and want people to work and not be on food stamps, it's a pretty big win when we've moved 5 million people off food stamps, y'all."

I stupidly let my 16yo play Space Marine on the PC. Stupid Steam family library sharing. Before we knew it I'm in the local Warhammer shop and poor. I suggested he took up some other cheaper hobbies like cocaine but apparently that's not addictive enough.

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I just saw a commercial for a facial cream product to remove wrinkles which had an AI imagery disclaimer and also said its depicted results were temporary…. Just straight up fraud

They all watched the VHS tape and didn't share it

Dating to the earliest years of the Afghanistan war, and widely viewed as a success inside the special operations and CIA communities, the Omega teams took part in the hunt for kidnapped U.S. soldier Bowe Bergdahl... thehighside.substack.com/p/zeroed-out...

I still remember hearing the sirens of ambulances for an entire week, no matter what time of day. Even in NYC this was a 'lot'.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

Man, all these archaeology videos claiming that this or that is super mysterious, we haven't figured something out, or hinting at some ancient grand civilization... uh no.

WHERE. ARE. YOU?

I think that I once opined that there isn't anything analogous in U.S. history to the inter service rivalries in Japan. But I've also said that the current administration is more comparable to Imperial Japan than other Quasi-Totalitarian States. cc: @sharonk.bsky.social @aelkus.bsky.social

I would actually be willing to buy a book on how the current administration compares and contrast to imperial Japan in the first half of the 20th century 

How have we not started referring to him as Mitch McGONEll? Seems like a missed opportunity.

He’s doing this because HE ordered it. WE hacked them. Iran doesn’t give a shit about Minnesota.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d ago

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

I couldn't even tell you much about Fauci. I know he was advocating for measures to protect against Covid, but I never 'listened' to him. I didn't need to. I'd been interested in zoonotic viruses ever since the '12 Ebola scare, and read books and papers on that stuff. I knew what was coming.

Indeed. I see people all the time claiming that Tadej Pogacar is a genetic freak along with those others winning bike races, and the only critics are those worried about doping.

I don't give a flying fuck if trans girls have an advantage in sports. Many people have an advantage in sports. That's how sports work.

AI garbage

Omfg Patricia following the body of the Boogeyman with a shotgun until he’s cremated is hilarious

Today I was just looking at a list of content and there's this HUGE prompt above it that asks if I want to summarize it. AI should be smart enough to know when NOT to appear as an aid.

D A V I E M O O@daviemoo.bsky.social · 6d ago

NO, ADOBE, I DON'T NEED A FUCKING AI SUMMARY OF A CV. FUCK OFF. LITERALLY FUCK DIRECTLY OFF. I CANNOT KEEP SPENDING MY TIME DIP DODGING AROUND FORCED AI BOLLOCKS IN EVERY FUCKING APP I USE, EVERY DOCUMENT I READ, EVERY SITE I VISIT, EVERY APPLIANCE I TURN ON, FUCK OFF, FUCK OFF, FUUUUCKKK OFFFFFF

It's truly amazing how this stuff always pops up after you know who makes a bad take and needs people to apologize for him being an ass and a moron.

One thing you can see in the latest Stancil blowup is that a sizable share of this website thinks that good intentions are the only thing that matter in policymaking, and expressing skepticism that a policy will really work as intended is equivalent to stealing food from the poor.

The US would have won this war if physical reality was totally different lol

The sudden surge of social media boosting of Flock cameras is disturbing.

Never should have run those tracks in the first place. Good riddance.

WEC has just announced the cancellation of rounds in Bahrain and Qatar that were scheduled for October and November. Instead, they will be going to Barcelona and Monza. #F1
