His ego has to resort to this because even red hats are pushing back against "AI" (cameras, datacenters, etc.), but he's fully endorsed it. He can't backtrack, because he can't admit to being wrong, but he also psychologically can't handle backing a losing horse... ...so he just renamed the horse.

Trump: "The White House considers anyone that uses the term, 'Artificial Intelligence,' as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, 'Super Intelligence,' THE ENEMY! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Even though she doesn't have a leg to stand on, I feel a little sorry for this woman. Utterly humiliating, just goes to a big public event to cry that she can't get her way in a personal family matter that has nothing to do with the event, or is something an elected politician can actually solve.

For better or worse--and much, much worse, as of late--we are an attention-based culture fueling an attention-based economy. If you hate something, don't hate watch, don't comment on socials, don't engage: for any hope of effecting something, sometimes your only move is to starve them out.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

1) something an actual insane dictator would say; 2) 'both sides' amirite? Seriously tho, when has a Dem POTUS ever proudly said, in a public rally, that an enemy should attack an American city? But of course, people have to keep trying to sanewash this lunacy, because reasons.

Trump: "Remember, with the war, it's just artificial. It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe…They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay and it's going to be over with very soon."

It really is a super fun read! And of course, informative, spooky season is the perfect occasion to treat yourself.

Apologies in advance, but I can't afford to feel bad about it. It is time for the big push for my book KAIBYO THE SUPERNATURAL CATS OF JAPAN. Preorders this month will make or break not only the success of the book, but my future books with the publisher. Please buy link.amazon/B0d6PY7Gv

'Wuhl why should I pay for the buffet at all? Only people who go to the buffet should pay, and I'm not going, so I'm not paying!' here's the thing, tho: Yes you are. You're going. Eventually, you HAVE to go to the buffet. And everybody chipping in makes it cheaper for everyone, including you.

Waldo@waldo2006.bsky.social · 5d ago

Imagine paying $50 for an all you can eat buffet. The lines a bit long but the food is ok. Now imagine you only pay $20 to go to the buffet. But Each piece of food costs $500 dollars. Drinks are at a different buffet. Same with silverware. Long lines too. Universal vs whatever our healthcare is.

What a different world it was back then.

On this day in 2009, Zombieland was released in theaters! 🧟 17 years later, Bill Murray’s cameo still ranks among Hollywood’s all-time best!

It really, really, really, really sucks that artists have to go through this now, but also just shows that no matter how much evidence they present, disingenuous people will always move goalposts. We all need to be less eager to blindly accuse people of this in the town square.

Kasey Gifford@kaseygifford.bsky.social · 7d ago

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

almost a month ago, "spoken in the soft bokeh of whispers" was released for those in need of a soothing, low-resolution space of yearning. if you've found yourself longing and in wander, please give it a listen on this #bandcampfriday 💗 ourdearfriendthemedic.bandcamp.com/album/spoken...

It's the polar opposite of mind-boggling. A lot of foreigners have these things called TVs, and they have this thing called the internet...they see how foreigners are treated here.

This is probably going to be fascinating for professionals studying NPD/malignant narcissism, present and future. Individuals like Trump can't defer to anyone else (hence he has to be the best at everything, the smartest, etc.)... But what about chatbots? It's not a person, so, no bruised ego?

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

It doesn't have to make any sense for the audience he's making soundbytes for. If they just list off things with enough bluster, MAGA will parrot it--many of whom also actually know full well, it doesn't have to make sense. It's a bonding ritual for them, to internalize the same talking points.

Genuinely serious question: Did anyone do an op-ed like this in an established publication about Golden and KPDH? Top 40 song, hit film, won a slew of awards...was anyone with a platform visibly upset at boomers who'd never heard of it? Enough to write it down? In an insufferably snarky tone?

I'm under no illusions about how things are or what the trajectory is. But I'm also excited for the future because that is where I will hang out with the people I care about and do the things I like doing, or haven't done before. Weird but telling that this holds less appeal for much richer people.

quote-unquote richest man in the world went out of his way to do this. not indifference, not 'didn't give money he easily could of' typical rich guy criticism, he inconvenienced himself greatly to cause this intentionally.

Old enough to remember when Michelle "released new dietary guidelines" meaning like, make kids eat a vegetable now and then, and you'd swear people were being hauled off to labor camps by how much Fox News et al squawked about how tyrannical it was.
