I don’t know man, if you’re running to be part of the government of a country that was founded on violent revolution, I kinda think sometimes you have to acknowledge that violence is at least a legitimate component of a path to ending oppression

I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.

“that’s just a few percent of it” wow masterful wordsmithing, sir

Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

I lost all my karaoke powers, like I used to be decent but then somehow it all went away and now I’m just an off-key embarrassment??

okay, Brewers can go on and win the World Series but then I would like them to slow down a bit while the Cardinals uhh figure something out, maybe, probably not

this is great for me because now I can just describe the gap in my resume as “waiting for the whole AI thing to die down”

Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs

one has to imagine Lars Ulrich looking at some AI slop and saying “hey wow this is really cool”

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

men aren’t reading anymore? tell that to the 8 pages of The Dark Forest and three issues of Swamp Thing I knocked out yesterday

I’ve been ambivalent on the new Boy Harsher record but I found the ideal setting to get the max impact out of it, which is going for a night walk when you’re down in da dumps

AI is going to give Iran a nuclear weapon

BREAKING: AI companies are privately predicting a catastrophic AI-driven event is highly possible within the next 6 to 12 months, per YF

getting all the blue MAGA types good and fired up by posting “Well they’re called Rage Against the Machine, not Pee Pee Poo Poo Goo Goo Ga Ga Against the Machine so I should have known!”

just now learning Monica and Ross from Friends had a third sibling and apparently he’s a big time rapist guy? not looking into this any further

still processing Digger but I have a bad feeling it’s going to get more attention for Tom Cruise’s what-if-George-Carlin-was-an-oilman rant than for anything else

when Bokeem asked the dopey cop the name of the show and he answered “How to Catch a Predator” he instantly became a stand-in for a whole type of guy that I love to hate, the movie knew exactly what it was doing

lot of talk about Phoebe Bridgers in a NIN shirt in Primetime, much less talk about Phoebe Bridgers in a Prong shirt in Primetime, in any case I would just like to say: yes
