The liberal fetish mentality of bipartisanship is just a white supremacist society trying to cover its ass.

The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes we disagree about facts. Sometimes we disagree about values. Figuring out which is which is fun part. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/my-libertarian-friends-were-right

We’ve been hearing for 20 years plus how we should just sit down and have a meal with people who think black, Latino and LGBTQ people are subhumans who must be killed. No.

Naw, fuck this shit. Conservatives are an enemy full stop. I truly don’t care how “reasonable and nice” they are to your face.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 3d ago

Much of the left, in much of the country, is fixated on revenge, payback, and power. Rob Sand is singing a different tune. The Democratic candidate for Iowa’s governor doesn’t want to turn the state red or blue: He wants to get you to stop thinking like that altogether.

Instead we've got billionaires saying "we're going to steal all your jobs and leave you to die and along the way completely destroy the arts, the environment, your mental health and the economy as we pretend it can parent your children and be your lover."

You know, in the world where people were building specialized AI models for limited use cases on things that actually improve people's lives and happiness, AI wouldn't be meeting the resistance that it has and would probably be celebrated as the achievement it is. This is not that world.

Consumer-facing LLMs have a ton of limitations! They're advertised for all kinds of crap they can't do! There's a whole huge *but largely distinct* set of policy nightmares associated with them! Open-weight, specially-trained AI models do exist and are being used to do really wild research stuff!

what a loser. he can't even be a ghoul correctly.

Jared Holt@jaredlholt.bsky.social · 3d ago

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named. What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.

One of Musks breeding allies has apparently called it quits. I know I keep harping on this but imagine the media coverage if the top donor to the Democrats was a billionaire with a baby breeding cult? And yet the media has mostly ignored this part of Musk’s story.

WHAT THE FUCK

as i said from the jump, the anti hasan ads aren't working. just because the gop consultant thought this would be their most effective strategy, doesn't mean it would work. they simply have nothing to run on, and now they know it because the polls show it. libs should take note

Here's a difference between actual artists and people who need AI to make things -- I don't have to suck anyone's dick to make art. I'm dependent on me. If you use AI then you can't do anything without your lips firmly wrapped around some billionaire's dick. You are dependent on them.

Weird, it's like all of us who kept saying this was a non-issue and Democrats should just ignore the attacks were ... right?

my initial read on the Cornell 7 case is that we’re likely to have an overdue national conversation about the voluntary intoxication loophole.

Michael Tracey will leave this world alone and unmourned.

Is it any wonder Ubisoft’s executives are excited about AI game development? A virtual employee won’t report them for sexual assault.

Shane Goldmacher is the author of this bullshit and is objectively bad at sex. Very funny to write an entire article about how you don’t know how to fuck.

“Talking to Rahm, it’s like middle-age married sex,” said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who has known him for decades. “It’s focused. You know what you’re going for. And it’s short.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/u...

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 7d ago

CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

Ban Asmongold. I won't stop being annoying about it. If you want Forever to be the game you want it to be, you can't do it with him and his cronies in it.

They’re fucking up the social issues too, homie. You cannot ethically use a tool built on the stolen collective works of humanity and then also claim to understand any kind of social issue in good faith. Also, getting the technical things wrong results in blood.

hikikomorphism@hikikomorphism.bsky.social · last wk.

A lot of journalists use LLMs as a jumping off point so they can justify talking about social issues, because editors love AI right now. Sometimes they get technical details wrong, and maybe in that world it's understood as the polite thing to do to ignore that and focus on the social-issue point?

IT'S NOT THE WAR CRIMES OR THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS???

The biggest little scandal in Washington right now is how bad Patel is at being FBI director.

The United States is only a democracy on paper. In reality, it's a techno-oligarchy run by billionaires who stole the collective works of humanity in order to operate CSAM generators like Elon Musk's GrokAI. Also, the existence of PACs inherently denies the people democratic power.

It’s absurd that the United States, a democracy, is not fully supporting Ukraine, a democracy!

I’ve been asked, but no I didn’t get a letter, I doubt I’m on the radar at all. If Bobby’s tastes are anything like his friends’, I’m too old for him to care about me anyway.

Chris Bratt@chrisbratt.bsky.social · 2w ago

In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

That last part was about how Bobby Kotick was friends with notorious pedophile and friend of pedophiles Jeffery Epstein, a sex trafficking pedophile whom Bobby Kotick was friends with.

"should we accept the republicans now distancing themselves from trump as allies in the fight for democracy, or should we condemn them to political purgatory for enabling the worst of fascism?"

Heard an interview today where someone said the dumbest thing ever. "When an AI agent hacks a website, there's no law that can arrest the AI." No mf, you arrest the person who pressed "deploy." wtf are we doing here? Did COVID turn everyone's brains into applesauce?

The ICE officer who shot a Venezuelan man in Austin was not using a body camera during the Sunday incident, according to news reports. The officer was issued a body camera, but it is unclear why he was not wearing the device during the shooting.

Don't speak for me, Paul. Removing the Nazis, billionaires, and corporatists and installing socialism sounds great, actually.
