“They don’t produce science,” says the malignant anti-science eugenicist.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The BC Green Party is not to blame for the Conservatives winning. It’s the BC NDP for calling election and their voters who stayed home.

To the company running AI generated ads on TV during the World Series (you know who you are!) I will never give your company money. If you’re cutting corners on your ads, I have to assume your product is garbage too.

Matty Yglesias whole value prop is to take right-wing ideas and sell them to liberals and progressives as “reasonable”. He’s literally a climate crisis denier.

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

okay I know what he said sounds ominous but like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Ellison are dorks. Democracy dies in dorkness.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

We can’t even get zoom meetings to work without technical difficulties and you want technology to run THE WHOLE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT???

Is it possible for enshittification to be good? Like what if the public pulls a reverse uno card on big companies by making large productive investments easy and tax free, and then slowly raises taxes and royalties to optimally below what it would cost them to pull out?

These commercials aimed at 20-somethings to donate blood are like “Give us your blood, gen-z. Low key we’re running out. Maybe you want a baggy blood donating sweater? Time to start blood-maxxing.”

Ukraine has shown the world that dead internet theory is something we can solve with the right attitude and the right tools.

Tech bros love the idea that the universe is a giant simulation because it means God is just some cosmic tech bro running a simulation to see what happens when he makes tech bros. Very much making God in their own image.

One of my side projects is noodling on Star Trek series ideas that will never get made, but are fun to watch in my mind. Maybe one day i will share them with the world. #startrek60

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of a TV show that showed us a moneyless, classless society where humans no longer go to war with each other, poverty has been eliminated, and our culture has moved beyond pointless material acquisition by buying this $500USD Le Creuset Enterprise Dutch Oven.

I’m all for them honouring military service members at baseball games but there are other heroes we should include. Like how about the guy who cleans the stadium bathrooms?

Not that I expect Goldilocks and the three bears to be scientifically accurate but even before Goldilocks broke in the papa bear would probably have eaten the baby bear and fucked off.

How is it possible that psychedelics heal trauma by making you one with the universe but whenever anyone who does them goes on a podcast they’re a malignant asshole with unresolved daddy issues?

So many of these tech billionaires are like “we’re trying make humanity reach its full potential” and then you read about what they think that means and it’s to literally turn us into the Borg.

CNN bumped a geopolitical expert giving analysis on the Iran peace deal to bring live pictures of Caligula’s gladiatorial combat. No wonder people don’t trust the news anymore.
