Social media isn't helping my brain juice so I'm going to go dark for a bit.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

The anti-AI crowd is never beating the "just wants an excuse to bully marginalized people" allegations

These people do nothing to actually challenge power and take out all of their rage on queer technologists and tinkerers

Have said before, will say again, i do not care for people who go around looking for "socially acceptable" targets when their primary drive is just to be an asshole to *someone*

Nobody is bullying anyone for being marginalized. It’s just mad up whining for attention. They are being “bullied” for using AI, doesn’t matter who they are, they deserve it fully.

These types were happy when Trump won last year because it allowed them to say "see, liberals didn't really win in 2020, they just delayed an even worse disaster!" So when liberalism defeats Trump *again*, these guys will feel twice as humiliated, and they're preemptively taking it out on all of us.

So you know how disappointed the far left was when ordinary liberals defeated Trump in 2020, because they wanted it to be a crisis only leftist politics could fix? As we continue to see evidence of Dems turning the tide on Trump with the shutdown, ICE protests, etc. that disappointment is back.

I mean let's face facts if you're saying this proves Biden could have gotten a ceasefire you either haven't paid attention to what's been happening in Gaza since Trump came into office or you never cared about Palestinians at all (or both).

Dinosaur Bob @dinosaurbob.bsky.social · 5d

The only reason BiBi agreed to the ceasefire now is because he’s down to, around, 20 living hostages and he can’t afford to let them all die. Not unless he wants to spend the rest of his life trying to not wind up like Rabin.

I love this picture and this completely isn't the point but the way that the Super Nintendo's case has aged always weirds me out

Photo of a carpeted living floor, sitting on the carpet is a Sony Trinitron TV, a NES game console, a Sega Genesis Game Console, and a Super NES game console - a couple game controllers and a basket with some game cartridges are also visible
