Alex Shultz@alexshultz.bsky.social · 17h agoRFK Jr says Sam Altman told him it's "malpractice for a doctor to make a diagnosis or to make a prescription w/o at least checking AI.” RFK Jr says AI “can give you a second opinion that is much better informed than any doctor in the country." I asked OpenAI+Anthropic if they agree; never heard back

Online gambling is a fucking scourge. It's really telling when you see Republicans complain about how the opioid epidemic is decimating small towns or whatever but stay silent about gambling. They don't care about the upheaval and death; they're just mad heroin dealers aren't giving them kickbacks

I really mean this: read the story; the story of how Vivek’s ad came together — including but not limited to what she was like when they found the mom and noticed how incoherent she was and how she couldn’t keep facts straight — is somehow more depraved and worse than you already think
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 13h ago“Zeteo can now reveal more on how the ad came together, and who else was involved. Somehow, the depraved, sleazy story of how this happened – a new low in a race that [NYT] has declared likely the “ugliest” in the nation – is even worse than you already think it is.” zeteo.com/p/republican...

So with the caveats that I haven’t stitched it so it might stitch a little wonkier than expected, and the design is 4x6 so you’ll need at least a 6x8 canvas I made a chart for cross stitch or needlepoint inspired by this quote, have fun and make brave choices drive.google.com/file/d/1pl9G...

It’s so weird to live with a guy who’s constantly screaming at me, polices everything I eat, breaks things, expects me to clean up his literal shit, does NO housework, does not contribute financially EVER, and sometimes randomly attacks me and it’s like yeah this is fine.
