Worth noting that while 1% sounds small, it depends on the whole. 1% can be substantially large as numbers get progressively larger. In El-Sayed's case we're talking about 14,000 to 15,000 votes. Think that's small? 14k Big Macs stacked would be almost half a mile high.

I wonder if this is just a lie they tell themselves to get up in the morning. I've been pooping for 46 years and I ain't "used to it" yet, that shit still stinks yo.

Spoken like a man who has never had to shop for himself.

The dumbest thing they could have done for themselves was spend all these years doing that "Barack Hussein Obama" shit. They've been conditioning the entire country to disassociate name ethnicity from who a person is (good, actually, lol) and this crap largely doesn't work anymore.

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

The amount of very obvious AI girls on Facebook that lead to obviously AI OnlyFans accounts is wild these days. I don't care that people make this slop, what bothers me is seeing real 60+ men in the comments of "18" AI girls hitting on them thinking they're real. Ya'll fuckin disgusting.

Elon Musk not content with polluting Earth orbit with junk, is now dumping his trash on the Moon too. www.msn.com/en-us/scienc... "Wayward SpaceX rocket to slam into moon, leave 16-foot-deep crater"

Stop calling me an amateur. I've been doing this for decades. I'm incompetent.

We left mirror-like panels on the surface of the moon you can bounce lasers off of, FOR FUCKS SAKE.

YouTube trick shot golfer Bryson DeChambeau grudgingly accepts people have been to the moon only because Elon Musk says it happened.

Okay, but as a huge stinking liberal commie socialist over here, can you tell me what precisely he did that caused these drops? Do you have evidence? I don't want bullshit, I want real info.

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I've never understood why some people censor out the names/usernames of social media users to protect them from blowback/criticism/attention when discussing something they said. You can't protect them. The text of what they said is searchable. Finding them is trivial.

Nothing he says can be trusted because he can just issue another order to reinstate it later. Congress needs to address it through legislation. It's the only way.

I went into the Forsyth Medical Center (921 beds) ER in July 2021 with a Lyme infection that had caused third-degree heart block (very serious). I had to spend my first night in the ER because there were no open beds. None. All were taken by COVID patients.

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d ago

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.

I had Gemini cook up a little Rust web server that only does one thing: presents a web page that let's me put my PC to sleep remotely. I stream content with Jellyfin to my tablet in bed and this is just a nice little util to save me from having to get up or launch Remote Desktop.

There is no administration less trustworthy than this one to handle this issue fairly and intelligently. All states involved should saturate the government in lawsuits to simply stall the issue until 2029.

The U.S. government proposes deep cuts to water supply for Arizona, California and Nevada during dry years in a new plan to operate the drought-stricken Colorado River.

I'm getting sick of these "Something went wrong (1152)" Gemini errors. Once I get this error the conversation I'm in is dead. No prompt is accepted, everything just dumps that error. My current convo is two prompts and two responses and now it's just dead. And they expect ppl to pay for this.

The fact that Trump gave him that commendation and yet Biden didn't given him the medal of freedom was a two-for: Fauci really deserved it and it would have exploded millions of MAGA heads. Win/win.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 6d ago

The GOP is desperately trying to rewrite history, but just a reminder that Donald Trump was president during the lockdowns, and he awarded Fauci a presidential commendation for his work on COVID. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's called self defense.

U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that Iran was likely behind a coordinated cyberattack on more than 30 municipal water systems in Minnesota this week, according to several U.S. officials.

This doesn't impress me or scare me about the capabilities of frontier models. Rather, it makes me facepalm at the pathetic inability of these labs to build containers that actually work. If the models can break out, imagine how easy it must be for experienced black hats to break in and steal shit.

BREAKING: Anthropic announced that its artificial intelligence models had breached three different organizations during cybersecurity tests that went awry, a little more than a week after its chief rival, OpenAI, disclosed a similar incident.

I would be very cautious about this "sponsorship platform" called SocialDB / socialdb.xyz . - Domain created 46 days ago. - Claims to have 14K sponsors (and 956K influencers). - Hidden registrar (lists an apartment building on-site). - ScamAdvisor Warning + Gridinsoft Warning.

Agree or disagree with Will if you want, I don't care for such a feature but it's not that far out there -- Twitch has it in the form of unban requests. But calling that a "rapist mentality" is radical extremist mouth foam. That brain is broken and it ain't coming back.
