Ah the time that Doctor Who had a story about how it is much easier to import cocaine if you import the bears made of cocaine first and then cremate them later.

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

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

It'd be great if they did this when it didn't personally involve their own families, but baby steps I guess.

The US government has declared its official allegiance to white supremacy and its intent to eliminate nonwhite people in the American population, and our political class won’t talk about it because THEY don’t want to sound extreme.

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

I really wish he would just do what Jews who wanted to fully be accepted by the goyim have done down the millenia, and just convert to their religion.
There is no Jew worse than the Jew who desperately wants to be accepted by the white goyim
Some of the most grinding, daily antisemitism I experienced growing up in the Midwest was lead by a fellow Jewish kid that I now see as trying to create a space between himself and the other Jewish kids at school in the eyes of our peers
I think the “kidding aside” part of this thread is on point.

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.
