For further clarity, EA is going to be on the hook for paying 1.8 billion dollars a year in interest, whereas their current yearly profit is 1.5 .So their interest payments are 300 million more than their entire yearly profit. We're in the process of watching them tie a noose and look for a spot.

Yeah we're going to see anything remaining of value at EA get chopped up or thrown into the fire to keep warm, and of course they're going to lay off thousands of people so that the company gets the privilege of disintegrating in a few years. www.gamesradar.com/games/mass-l...

Mass resignations are always an option. Just putting it out there.

Hey, one sec rookie. Remember to take a break from online once in awhile. We don't need you going insane from the bad news machine, go find something else to do for an hour today if you can. It's good to be informed but it's better to be healthy physically and mentally. Hydrate too, water only.

Happy Wednesday! These are still open as well!

Its consumerist thinking rather than civic thinking. You arent at the store, you are fulfilling your responsibility to help choose who will represent you in government.

"Deserve" and "loyalty" are words that you should not use about countries and politicians generally. Leads to bad thinking.

Had a rando get in the replies here and accuse me of wanting to live a fantasy life out in the woods and I gotta say, one of the things that turns off ppl to AI (beyond it being shoved into places by tech companies where it doesnt have clear use value) is its evangelicals being arrogant weirdos

Yes?

Its so sad

Even if amateur, you will make something more heartfelt and raw than a machine intermediary could ever make for you

We don't need more of the same. We don't need algorithmically averaged art* We need your weird, unhinged shit. We need your heart to bleed onto the canvas and the page, even if you don't have the expertise to shape it like you envision *We have that already, it's everything Disney/Marvel outputs.

Stop letting people convince you that offloading the deeply human experiences of learning, of creating, of trying things and failing at them, is a privilege rather than a danger.

Gonna echo @nutedawn.bsky.social's glass half full post from last night and say that MIs close results last night show that both halves of the party there need each other to win and that hopefully it means they work together for the general.

I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

One way to be safe is to never write an electability take

Bernie Moreno fails at being a father if he doesn't grab Miller by the shirt collar and shake him around a bit. "The bunny. Hand it over."

David Earl Williams III@dewforpolitics.bsky.social · yesterday

Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller refused to return his granddaughter’s favorite blue bunny. Reports also show that photos of a syringe and 150mg weed gummies were found in Miller’s bedroom.

THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

Professional writer organizations should not send out pro-AI propaganda in the form of tantrum-having "essays" to their members, and I don't think that's controversial.

Regarding The Pro-AI Tantrum In The HWA Newsletter

Today I, and every other HWA member, received the HWA newsletter in our inboxes. In that newsletter was an essay (“essay”) of pro-AI propaganda that made a number of specious points in …
