Hey so I think if we want to exist as a society we need to regulate the fuck out of GenAI and I think a big easy first step is keeping it a country mile away from political ads.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

uhhhh it should be immensely illegal to run a campaign ad using AI generated footage of your opponent

if it truly is this imminent, how about every day you wake up look in the mirror and tell yourself "I'm a gullible idiot" until it actually happens. shouldn't be that many days or months or years right?

centrists do this absurd song and dance where they pretend like the problem with Fetterman is that he campaigned as a leftist or whatever and not that he sold out and his positions now more closely resembles theirs than the left's

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

you think it's "gay" to be associated with anything left of center ...

*opens manilla envelope*

... and yet, on jan 21, 2025 ...

*slides 8x10 photo across table*

... you wore the tutti frutti

CIAsandman on Twitter writes: "Leftist friend got called “fuckin lib” by a foid at a bar last night. Their cultural grip is slipping. It’s cringe and gay to even be associated with anything left of center."

On January 21, 2025, CIAsandman tweets: "White boy fuel." There's a photo showing him holding a half-eaten piece of bread a bottle of water. On his wrist is a white Swatch watch.

An eBay auction for the Swatch says: 1996 Vintage Swatch Watch TUTTI FRUTTI GW109 Working Swatch Watches Women

Google has built a talented team of the best engineers in the world to innovate on how to make their namesake product just a little shittier each month. they got guys in lab coats pouring colorful liquids into test tubes to determine how best to show you, the user, nothing but absolute garbage.

this sucks from Bernie. and the difference between liberals and the left is we don't worship any politician like a god and we're not afraid to point out when they say or do something that sucks.

In a social media post on Saturday, Trump posted an Al-generated video that depicted him in a fighter jet dumping brown sludge on protesters.
On Tuesday, Beijing Daily, citing the video, wrote: "The 'mud' may be virtual, but what it reveals is painfully real - the US president and both political parties care little for the struggles of ordinary people."
It also referred to the wildfires that struck greater Los Angeles earlier this year, saying
"the supposedly efficient US system proved paralysed, placing political self-interest far above human lives".
"One incident after another keeps tearing away the 'Uncle Sam' facade, exposing the empire's decay for all to see."
"The illusion is shattered: so this is America - this is what it really is."
On Chinese social media platforms, a number of users discussing American politics poked fun at what they described as "chaos" in the US, while some commended the protesters for expressing demands.
