Please honor James’ memory by getting screened for colorectal cancer. Make the call today if you are 45 or have a family history. Rates are surging among young people. Catching it early is the best way to survive it.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

I don’t keep up with explosive technology, so learning about these new bombs is giving me the same feeling as learning about Hiroshima as a child. Deep, deep sadness that we are capable of such things. Both kinds of weapons killing so utterly that there’s nothing left to grieve.

Because it's made by dead-eyed morons who understand nothing, believe in nothing, bring no beauty to the world, have no capacity for reflection, and immiserate our collective existence with every hateful sentence they squirt out of their wet, waxy mouths. NEXT.

They just want to make everything worse. They want us to die from diseases that could eradicated. They want dirty food and air and water. They want increased child mortality. They want a more unsafe, disgusting, hateful world. And the corporate press is like “but that’s a valid perspective tho?”
A group of conservative activists has worked for 16 years to stop all government efforts to fight climate change. Their efforts are now paying off.

The EPA is expected to revoke the endangerment finding, which has underpinned the government’s ability to fight global warming since 2009.

i don't think the leagues should act like they're in competition to one another but if we were going to pick at that bone i think a more relevant data point is that the fall classic last year was an all-timer knock-down 7 game brawler and the super bowl we just watched was a prolonged wet fart

just thinking about how every single person dancing at that wedding reception smiled more in that like thirteen minutes than Erika Kirk has in her whole life
apart from the ten thousand more immediate things wrong with them (see: racism) it is impossible to ignore how JOYLESS these people are. angrily choking down the worst shit in the world and pretending it’s delicious rather than admit something can be both “good” and “in Spanish” at the same time
