Trump does not want us to regulate AI because AI is a tool of fascism. AI is perfect for making people turn off their brains and trust the machine that lies.

"[...] that $2,715 rent check buys you zero equity. In the 1950s, the monthly housing cost was a forced savings account that built generational wealth. Today, it’s a subscription fee for a roof. You are paying a premium to stand still.'
This is a sobering read that starts from a straightforward premise: look at how the poverty threshold is calculated in the US and see how well it holds up as an actual measure.
I expected it to be bad. It’s much worse, in ways it’s hard not to see.

Someone at work has a manicure where they just did the tips of the nails? Whatever that's called?
the nail polish they used is basically matte black.
so it just looks like they have filthy nails.
as you can all imagine, I'm totally fine with that, and it doesn't not bother me intensely.

It's amazing to me that there's a whole, major political party that just... fucking... hates everyone in the US.
And everyone's just "yeah that's how it is" like they're... dealing with recurring heartburn.
Meanwhile the Dems are like "heyyyyyyy.... quit iiiiit," while slap-fighting the air.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

There are some internet projects for which no one is clamoring, but when completed produce a masterpiece of creativity. This Rollercoaster Tycoon video tying the tracks to Defying Gravity (from Wicked) is one such masterpiece. [youtube.com]

This is a video I’ve been working on for two months, and I am so excited to share it! These are dueling/racing rollercoasters synchronized to the song Defying Gravity from Wicked (2024), featuring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
