He's not so cute when you look down through the bottom of the boat and discover him gazing back up at you from the icy depths.

Well, here's their framework for complaining about deficits once the left takes power.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 23h agoBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
"this idiot/nazi/asshole on Twitter said something stupid/evil/racist!" Cool that shit happens every second; stop importing it here.
So if LinkedIn removes all AI slop from their platform, does it look like... 1. A blank page? 2. A 404 error? 3. The abyss peering back into your soul?
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains.

I remember how much it sucked to accept the inevitability of death as a child; must be awful to delude yourself into having to accept it AGAIN as an adult.

TIL that Swedish people have public sex on election days. What a funny world.
jordan@jordantyranny.bsky.social · last wk.The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.
Jeez, we're at military operation with Iran AGAIN? Whatever happened to the Memorandum of Understanding of Versailles?
Just realized how surprised I am that "cigarettes are good for you" somehow isn't a mainstream MAGA talking point.
Saw the Onion section for Fauci and noticed all the Onion Fauci are 4+ years old. That's as much a condemnation of today's bullshit as anything else I can imagine. Bottom-of-the-barrel show-trial to try and salvage their grease fire of a midterm election.
The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
I have been getting back into canoeing this summer after ~fifteen years away and I cannot think of another term anywhere that has aged more awkwardly than goon stroke lmao

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

Great thread detailing many excellent reasons to not use gen AI.
Daniel Fedor@dcfedor.bsky.social · 2w agoBlue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12
Get in, there’s a new secret political influence campaign paying people to post. This time, a network targeting people in Michigan. First paid to post about how hard it is to afford groceries and gas, the accounts have gone hard in recent days, supporting Haley Stevens. www.ms.now/news/haley-s...

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2w agoThe vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.
Just realized we're ~2/3rds through this decade and it's just been disease and graft the whole time. This is the decade of physical, mental, and moral illness.
