Sam Altman, crawling right up to the edge of saying "AI will never do anything that can really be considered actual productive work" and staring at it with perpetually wet, unseeing eyes.

And then mumbling "all the poors *might* have to die" before shedding his skin and swallowing it like a toad.

Anakin-and-Padme meme:
in the first panel, Anakin's face is replaced with Sam Altman looking doofy and mid-utterance. His caption reads, "Automation will just get rid of the fake, busywork jobs."
in the second panel, Padme, smiling, asks, "And replace them with robust social supports like UBI, right?"
in the third panel, Altman just smirks doofily.
in the final panel, Padme, now looking worried, repeats, "…and replace them with robust social supports like UBI, right??"

Hershel asks, "well, what would you have done in my position?" His friend says, "I'd have kept the smaller half for myself and given the larger one to you."
To which Hershel responds, "well you've *got* the smaller half, so I don't see the problem."

This is a great thread that you should read.
But it also reminded me of a Hershel of Ostropol joke: Hershel and a friend get bread from a restaurant.
Hershel tears the bread in half, keeps the larger half, and gives his friend the smaller. His friend says, "that was very rude, what you just did."

Simple - one person cuts or breaks the cookie... and the second person gets to pick whichever side they want.

The idea is to take the person who's making the choices, and remove their ability to know which half they get - so if they make an unfair system, they might wind up getting shafted by it.

Because nothing exists in a vacuum, people have implicit bias, and context matters?
Look, if you can understand why a Black person might bristle at being told "you're so articulate", then you should be able to understand what's happening here.

In this house we believe: JFK wasn't shot, his head just did that by itself.

I'm a skeptic about the JFK assassination. I don't think it happened

My view is: when you get served a really great omelet, do you say "compliments to the chicken" or "compliments to the chef"?

Thinking about viscachas again

The viscacha, an absurd, rabbit-like creature. They are fat, furry, and have hilariously long whiskers that extend far past their bodies. This one is plopped on his butt.

A viscacha with his whiskers pointed down and his paws in a dainty position

A viscacha holding his hand up as if to say no pictures please

Another sitting viscacha but he looks SO soft and SO fat

like I said yesterday when hundreds of people shared the “Israeli gumbo” screenshot with outraged commentary about “them” colonizing Louisiana, these are fake screenshots, no such articles exist, you are all getting righteously angry at something made-up b/c it aligns with your existing opinions.

Israeli food: poutine. Israelis have developed and continue to enjoy a delicious cuisine rooted in the uniqueness of Israeli society itself

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Cool. Based, even. Let's replace it with a secular, binational state that respects the rights of all its inhabitants, from the river to the sea. Send the entire current regime to the Hague.
How do jokes about gumbo achieve that?

I'm glad that you have the privilege of opting out of conversations that make you uncomfortable instead of having to sit in your discomfort and maybe grow as a person. Enjoy your day, friend.

It isn't about what some "we" needs or wants. It's about whether capital can work out a way to put a rent on something that's currently free.

i think we should rotate literally everything & anyone who's had power for my whole lifetime should be cycled out & forced to live penniless in their cars while normal folks who react to "we want you to pay us to beam concentrated sunlight into your home " get to make decisions for a generation.

mr burns and smithers stand across a scale model of springfield on the floor. from a large mounatin, a metal swing arm with a parabolic dish extends, the dish flat over the city, blotting out the sun. it casts the city in shadows.

burns explains, "since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun."

lisa simpson points at mr burns in a dank and toxic warehouse. she is aghast. mr burns stands placidly, in a white short sleeved shirt. he smiles. but lisa says, "you're still evil, and when you're trying to be good, you're even more evil!"

Joking that "Israelis" are societal parasites and have no culture beyond that which they've stolen from others absolutely is, though. And that's kinda the clear subtext.

Alternatively, reasonable people could simply be more aware of common antisemitic dogwhistles and opt to not use or boost them.
