Every time I see someone post “oh my god” with zero context I always think for a second IT is Happening.

Usually it’s just sports though.

American exceptionalism is such a fascinating thing to observe. An almost spiritual belief in the supremacy of the U.S. as a global hegemon.

Whatever replaces American hegemony, which for all its discontents tended to lean democratic, will either be utterly tyrannical or so ineffectual in extending its reach that the international situation destabilizes, first into spheres of influence, then global war, again.

I'm not the first person to raise this but one of the fascinating things about American politics and political reporting is how much a follow-up question short circuits the brains of the politicians (and is a shocking thrill to the audience)

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

So many people’s brains are going to be broken over the next few decades of America’s decline.

You hate to see it.

Too bad, the CCP hates effeminacy. That means gays.

Whether it's young Democrats expressing their support for DEI or young Republicans saying "I love Hitler,' both sides have expressed controversial opinions.

Trump won. You don't have to do this anymore.

Quote Tweet of:

Young Republicans

We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement...

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

"there is lead in everything because of leaded gasoline, leaded paint, and unregulated industry which is an environmental risk factor in food supply chains but the level of health risk is context-dependent."

GET IT TWISTED

"there is lead in everything and this explains everything about the world."

nothing makes me feel like a lovecraftian protagonist more than watching brand new misinformation sprout from the ground and take root as the next pop sci "fact" to be debunked for the next 15 years because of shoddy fearmongering clickbait journalism which paints an inaccurate picture of the world.

Trump repeatedly presenting "I don't love my enemies" as a fun little lovable foible is straight-up Satanic, he is normalizing complete disregard for a central pillar of Christ's message

more to the point: every single quote post of the consumer reports article going "well THIS explains why the manosphere is right wing" is a hapless fool and is exactly why the framing of the article is bad science communication that provides a misleading informational landscape to the consumer.
