weird how the people ranting about phantom antisemitism and alienating jews today are the same ones who scapegoat muslims. probably nothing

Tomorrow (August 6) is the end of the first IPO lockout period for SpaceX, meaning that at market open over 900 million insider shares that could not legally be sold until now are free flood the market. 

Putting these @ettingermentum.bsky.social posts here mainly because "One day we will get you that free childcare for your children with names from the Titanic manifest and you will deserve it more than anyone has ever deserved anything" is a perfect sentence.

part of why the AI market is pushing "everybody is using it, it's inevitable" narrative: I've seen with people in my life the more you lean on it (and a lil bit slippery slopes towards more) it will make you worse at what you're doing until your output is as mediocre as anyone only using AI to do it

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

and yes I'm fucking furious about it, because that's what *Republicans* do

centrists would have you conclude that this race being within a point suggests that Steven's views on Israel aren't that unpopular because she came so close to winning when what they are actually doing is gloating about subverting democracy.

that's a "click to die instantly" if I've ever seen one

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

Like this ship has already sailed? It's over. This is going to be what more and more people say and believe and they will, statistically, get into office.

This is not going to go away. It is not fringe. It is not even really all that radical. It's much closer to the facts than the mind numbing pablum about two states that every Democrat over the age of 900 uses to avoid saying anything of substance.

I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50

As I was saying

At some point we are going to have to reckon with what percentage of the Thought Leadership we get from this class of people is just drug addiction. Either a lot of credulous reporters have never listened to someone tooted out of their mind go on a monologue or they're afraid to call it out.

this one's funny bc i think it's rooted in a similar impulse to the data center backlash, but unlike that one (we do need SOME data centers, not for AI but for lots of stuff everyone likes) it's purely arrogance and hubris to crash stuff into the moon. we don't need to be doing that ever

This is going to be a slow burn story that gets people more and more angry the more they hear about it. Some asshole billionaires are blowing holes in the Moon, a thing everyone loves.

Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:

Memento (artemis) Morty 🌙@mementomorty.bsky.social · 4h ago

we should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can feel a bit more manly by making an AI video. If you want a senator who's gonna lick some boots, go vote for Rogers. But if you want a senator who's going to stand up to Trump, you've got your option.

there's not much more primal to humanity than our relationship with the moon and elon being a single dipshit with enough power to damage the face of it for all time until it falls into the sun just because he can is up there with his death count as fundamentally hard to wrap your head around

This is the right thing to say and I wholeheartedly support it and believe it but it is frustrating and aggravating that he's been saying this for months and months and, like Mamdani, some people on here take this as a rhetorical pivot after the primary rather than just sincerity.

Q: "What message does it send if Trump fires a U.S. Attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime?" Blanche: "If the president wanted to fire a U.S. Attorney, it turns out he's allowed to do that."

The US began this war by demanding Iran give up its ballistic missiles, and has instead given up its own (non-nuclear) ballistic missiles

Travis@someforeignfield.bsky.social · yesterday

The US Army has expended "virtually all" of available ATACMS ground-launched missiles during the war against Iran. This comes after expending all of the available more modern PrSM missiles. These were all launched from Kuwait, Bahrain, or other nearby Gulf countries.

no matter the margin this is one of the worst, most disgraceful campaigns in the modern history of the democratic party. abdul can't say it because he has to make nice with these racist freaks so I fucking will.

Obviously polling gave us a very distorted view of the race but it’s extremely funny seeing Haley Stevens portrayed as some gritty underdog despite an 11:1 spending advantage and the backing of the entire Democratic establishment lol

had Stevens won, it would have been on the back of conservative rural whites

Who Up Socializing Their Summit, MSW (NOT A MAN)@acabcalloway.bsky.social · 6h ago

A lot of very horrible people are learning that Black voters and affluent suburban voters are not their Emotional Support Electorate(TM) but real humans with real agency and their own political priorities and concerns and they are going to lash out in incredibly nasty ways.

This is pretty much exactly what happened. The polls dramatically overestimated how he’d do with whites and underestimated how well he’d do with Black voters.

So El-Sayed is doing better with Black voters and worse with white voters than most people imagined? That’ll be fun for The Discourse.

Every elected Republican is now a Max Miller Republican. Hang that around their necks every damn day.
