There were Democrats voting for this shit, please stop complaining when we complain about Democrats and want them held accountable. This is getting ridiculous, the fucking collaborators.

I was familiar with it before but actually sitting down to read Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is like discovering a new primary color. A bunch of Tom of Finland guys named, like, Grand Funk Railroad and Kiss Alive saying shit like "You actually thought decapitating me would slow me down? Foolish child."

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

very grimly ironic that our government run by podcasters sucks at true crime
Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

So many times, the entire nature of what I'm working on has changed because of things I've discovered during the "tedious" work that they claim AI will save me from. It's in fact extremely common that I don't know what a thing really is until I start trying to do the hard stuff and then I find out
Also just tapping the sign again — A.I. eliminates the opportunity for creative discovery on your way to the destination you *thought* you wanted. You’re making art, process is everything.
placeholder art is supposed to look like this. you're supposed to make it in 5 seconds.
it's a crucial part of the process because a placeholder will often be remarkably similar to the final art/text, because you were unburdened by bigger details when you made it.

Surely the leadership of her party would come out and make statements of solidarity and follow up with action on this gross abuse of power, right?
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

hey, don't forget that it's also poisoned a bunch of poor communities, particularly communities of color!
so far the only concrete thing ai has done is make the entire tech market worse and every consumer facing tech product less usable or accessable

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Well, you have to understand, the line is going up
Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

“What happened to <insert public intellectual>?” Oh they’re stupid. They’ve always been stupid, in the sense that the ideas they have are bad. They experience the world in a stupid way and draw stupid conclusions because they’re stupid. People just think they’re smart because they had a blog

When I was depressed I thought everyone's life is defined by the worst thing that happens to them; the joy people are taking in Rob Reiner's work proves how wrong I was. Just as importantly, life on Earth is not defined by the worst things people do & say—please don't let this convince you otherwise

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
