Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...
Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Petition to end the "(some number of animals) in a trenchcoat" joke: It's had its run on the internet for about 15 years now. We've gone through every number of every animal at this point. I think it's time to be done with it and find some new jokes. Humbly submitted, One Man in a Normal Coat
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
@jfroebe.bsky.social they closed comments but your weird anti-vegetarian replies are pointless and gross. If youre going to be a substance-less troll, why not point that immature meme-gun at people who deserve it? Not at people who make personal sacrifices to try and do something good.
This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Bro you gave the whole country diarrhea how about you shut up for a while

A screenshot from Mother of Flies, a Shudder original from 2025. This is definitely AI, right? "ALL AMERCAN DINER". The stars on the awning. The incomprehensible neon sign in the window. The unnatural dip in the curb. The suspicious amount of legs among the tables and chairs. Am I crazy here?
1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.
Gonna repost this guy's terrible take every time there's a major national headline about the food insecurity crisis.

I started thinking to myself "Hey, there hasn't been a school mass shooting in a while, has there? Maybe things are getting better?" And then I looked it up. There have been several THIS year. They're just so common now they don't make National news.
Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.
Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.
I once went to Vancouver, and asked a pharmacist how much a vial of insulin costs, they said $35. Then I called my pharmacy in the states, and they said $360. Insulin companies extort their customers and people are dying because of it. Prices are getting better, but not by much. Keeping an 👁️ on this

Its so wild that there's this person who, if you like him, you're widely considered a weird little freak on the radical fringe of society... And yet he's still president of the whole United States.

The most frustrating possible end to the most frustrating possible story. Investor capitalism is a civilization-ender.

I see I need to make a clearer point. Framing things this way puts the blame on the consumer - the consumer that spends hundreds of millions of dollars on subs every month - as though it is their fault for freeloading. But is it the consumer's fault that the model was built the way it was? No.
Mat Piscatella@matpiscatella.bsky.social · 4w agoWhoa. I didn't know Xbox Game Pass was free. Weird. What is this. "The problem with it was that (DOOM: The Dark Ages) was played by millions of fans, but many played it for free on Game Pass."
in short honig concedes that the justices are quite political and they are just political in the way he likes

People still look at Pokémon like Klefki or Polteageist and say "They ran out of idea for Pokémon after the first 2-3 generations". My dude, the idea here was just "Bird."
