DON’T LET THEM FOOL YOU

Black Friday $ sales are higher this year because things are more expensive. So consumers aren’t buying more items, they’re just paying more them.

Many reasons to dislike Apple these days, including bending the knee to the orange king. But I think they were the most likely to have implemented AI in a satisfying way that quietly empowered people rather than threatened to replaced them. Unfortunately, they too got swept up in AI BS.
my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Why do people not see when conservatives are manufacturing obvious bullshit to cover up corruption and incompetence.

Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.

This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

I’m convinced one of the reasons Mamdani was such a rocket in his popularity is that he didn’t communicate as if he thought people are stupid.

I’m also convinced a large portion of Democratic politicians and campaign professionals have no doubt people are incredibly stupid.

As Pete Hegseth denies the cold-blooded murder of survivors on the U.S. boat attack in the Caribbean (aka war crimes), remember that this is the same guy who initially lied and said he didn't share United States attack plans with a journalist in a Signal group chat.

There are a number of irrational Albertans who still hate Justin (or the senior Trudeau) and somehow see separation as a solution to their hate. Then there are a handful of people (blinded by their own corruption) who see potential to make profit in the chaos. There is no logical, ethical reason.
Following the weekend UCP separatism orgy, many of you are worried about the future of Alberta and Canada.

Do not be afraid!

We, the majority, have it handled. You now found your voice. #ForeverCanadian is organized and ready to pivot to take on any challenge.

“Should we follow the Geneva Conventions?” Hegseth wrote in his 2024 book The War on Warriors. “What if we treated the enemy the way they treated us?"
GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "I don't think Secretary Hegseth would be foolish enough to make this decision to say, 'Kill everybody. Kill the survivors,' because that's a clear violation of the law of war."

This would be a lot funnier if he showed any remorse for the journalist he disrespected in that apple-chewing moment (and the many others he’s attacked)

Without that, it just kinda feels like all the press and pundits cheering are saying “yeah that was fine, this is all a game”

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
