I should probably make a pinned post already. Hello! I'm Jacob, aka daemonspudguy. I'm a non-binary dingus from Southeastern Ohio with a passion for computers (especially open systems), music (some of my favorite musicians being Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, and Mike Oldfield), video games[...]

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

using slop to do "reverse engineering" has the exact same problems using slop to do anything else does: you can't trust a single bit of the results because the machine can only produce plausibly related output from its input and training dataset

I see that there is a wapo story a few days ago about the office of legal counsel so this is my cue to remind you that the best time to have abolished OLC was the day after it was formed, the second best was the day after torture memos, and the third best is today.

What's funny/not funny about all this is their "porn teaches young people bad things" spiel (they used an alleged account of a 14yo asking about it) is that they admit their age verification measures don't work. They're just piling on increasingly broken restrictions on consensual adult activity

The UK's sold their antiporn law as banning choking and strangulation and then offered definitions that basically criminalizes oral sex. www.gov.uk/guidance/cri...

Wildly out of touch. Voters want to see their candidates confident and willing to fight, not meekly taking the bait and retreating to whatever won’t offend a moderate Republican

Seeing the other angle of this only makes it more confusing. What was he doing? Is Trump just so out there he's seeing crowds where there aren't any?

Donald Trump was heading towards his helipad when he suddenly stopped to acknowledge a nonexistent crowd. trib.al/GSwMkKK

I love some of the defenses for this. My favorite being that he was waving to fans off-camera. In Washington, DC, the one city in the country where Trump supporters are basically a non-entity.

I think I can summarize this one: Remix culture is an interplay between an individual and a known source, whether that source is another Peron in their scene, or from pop culture, someone from history. It desires to exist in that context. AI robs context. It is a launderer and cannot cite or source

Saleem@seemo.bsky.social

I think conflating remix culture with AI seems logical but falls apart if you give it some deeper thought

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social

The ADL finally chimes in… with one very short post: "The term 'Shylock' is rooted in a longstanding antisemitic stereotype. Regardless of intent, its use can reinforce harmful tropes about Jews and normalize language that has long been used to target the Jewish community."

Yes, it’s going to be double, maybe even triple, the price of the previous Xbox, and yes Xbox is on the BDS boycott list, but consider this: if you pick one up you can enjoy theoretically playing all the exciting Xbox exclusives, which do not exist and have no hope of existing for at least a decade

This is a simply astonishing video. Americans should watch it for decades as they try to understand this historical period.

In 1934, we added a gender-neutral pronoun for a single third person. ‘Thon’ was short for “that one.” It didn’t catch on.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

I think I hate Chuck Schumer more than at least 40% Of all republicans.

Truthout@truthout.org

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I want this fucked out of my state.

Trump pushes gutter racism in Ohio: "Look at what's happening in the once great state of MN. What a mess. Somalia ... all they do is kill each other in the streets. They cheat on everything. You have to vote for Michele Tafoya ... I thought I won MN 3 times." The crowd chants "De-port! De-port!"

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.

Replying to @anjalikdayal.bsky.social

it might not even be explicit voter intimidation by design, right? it's just that there are national guard all over the city, so they're always standing around places they shouldn't be, which is every place. the solution is for them not to be there at all.
