so priceless that prolific ratfucker James O'Keefe, by going undercover to prove how easy it is to commit voter fraud.... ends up proving how hard it is to commit voter fraud, and then catches charges for unlawful voting chef's kiss, stellar work all around www.startribune.com/conservative...

The point is to force the Republicans to vote against it: to sign their names to allowing corruption and treason you thick fucks!

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Watching AirB&B owners totally crash out because their only technically not-a-crime racket is mildly self-regulating to try to avoid serious government regs is some sweet sweet schadenfreude.

Buyouts should be cash only. If you don't have the dosh on hand, you can't buy shit. Just like us poors have to do.

Nash@radiodeadair.com

Maxis fucking prints money. They do it cheap and they crank out packs and updates on the regular, and Sims fans devour them. They are the proverbial cash cow. So why lay those people off when you're trying to cover an $18 billion buyout debt? This is why leveraged buyouts should be illegal.

It's sad that these fuckers can't even give their stupid character a name. Petra Parker was jacked from an episode of Ultimate Spider-Man, and it is still infinitely more creative that incel-slur Malfoy got.

Predictably, Shad's Malfoid obsession has driven the only traffic his channel has gotten since our initial back and forth right back into the ground. Stay down there. Good boy.

King and Malcom X were working together you credulous boob. The velvet glove means nothing without the iron fist inside it.

Sandy Hendry@sandyhendry.bsky.social

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

Counter argument: AI doesn't use or have evidence, structure, argument, or accountability. Its predictive text using the stolen work of thousands as it's dictionary.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

This right here is the exact difference between David Weber and Larry Correia.

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

There can be and is successful right-leaning entertainment (see most of CBS' primetime dramas, the Taylor Sheridan Paramount Plus empire, plus, you know, mainstream country music); where the right flops is when it thinks its grievance culture will sell outside of its very tight MAGA bubble.

Maybe this is just the 'American Healthcare sucks' in me, but what does she mean, mixed ward? Do British hospitals have fucking gender segregated waiting rooms?

It would IMO be better if MPs had not utterly deranged their own brains on Twitter dot com, wildly radicalising themselves and each other.

If you believe the interior of the Tesla Roadster was any less than 80% pressure tank to make that 'demonstration' happen, you need Jesus. Specifically, you need Jesus to flip your computer table and chase you with a whip into remedial education until such time as you cease being a credulous fuckwit

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

I've always found that the best way to tell if a critic is sincere (any kind of critic) is if they read books. Critics who read are 99/100 more reliable than ones who don't.

Ant@agramuglia.bsky.social

I sometimes wonder if some YouTube critics even like movies.

Is it a hot take to say the Absolute Joker has completely ruined Absolute Batman? This series went from a fresh reimagining to Its All About The Joker really fast, and it's sucked all the hype out.

Adding to this- it's industry standard to film/record and not know the project's real title, and often actors are only given their sides- not a whole script- to shoot with. It's really easy to trick a performer into doing something they would object to and them only find out at the premiere.

LittleKuriboh@littlekuriboh.bsky.social

It's such a daft standard in acting that performers are expected to be kept so in the dark about what they're working on. It should not be so unheard of that actors actually know who they're working with and what they're working on. You're having them sign an NDA regardless, so.

I feel like pointing out that 1939 Europe couldn't even beat 1939 Africa, let alone the modern version with Drones, F-22s, and ICBMs, would be moot.

This seems so weird to me, because these 'masculine' books are EXCEPTIONALLY easy to find, unless you exclusively read YA fantasy. These guys tell on themselves so hard.

Phillip Maciak@pjmaciak.bsky.social

Eagle-eyed readers might note the almost total lack of hyperlinked evidence for this paragraph's many sweeping generalizations. Among them, that young readers want TOUGH GUY cultural objects that are cruelly being denied them by all these meddlesome women, when, in fact...

I KNEW it had to be something like this. Trejo has been a good guy for too long.

So Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Always love the cycle of the Youngs discovering that Nic Cage, father of Kal-El Cage, might be a massive fucking nerd.

A true AI would rely on us knowing how our own brains work in order to replicate them. Which we don't. Like, at all.

Nash@radiodeadair.com

I cannot say definitively that we'll never develop artificial intelligence. I strongly doubt it, based on the limits of technology and our understanding of consciousness. But I can say absolutely that an LLM will never be conscious or feel pain. It's a glorified Magic Eight Ball. That's all.

A big part of it is that Ossoff is from Atlanta. His base are the black and LGBTQ+ populations that MAGAs have been shitting on for 15 years, and he knows it. Why would he ever couch against the people who elected him?

Bill McKibben@billmckibben.bsky.social

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Love Vampyr. The reward you get for being merciful throughout the game is legitimately my favorite of all time.

Casey S. Pumpkins 🎃@caseyexplosion.bsky.social

Vampyr, because I will always stan Dontnod's ambitious vampire game, is it flawed? Sure. But there's nothing quite like it, the maudlin atmosphere, the melodrama, Anthony Howell's goated vocal performance as the protagonist, it's magnificent.

Someone is gonna find where all these are being stored, and the Ocean's 11 style heist that will commence will make a great film.

Nash@radiodeadair.com

Put into perspective, that would mean the total value of all the "AI" GPUs sitting in storage and likely never to be used to is almost three times as much revenue as Nvidia earned between 2010 and 2020 (around $70 billion). Y'know. Back when we could still afford a gaming card to play Skyrim.

The ultimate of this being, of course, KochiKame, a series with an actual title so long it makes the stupid-ass light novel titles look quaint. (No I don't know it. I'll be fucked if I'm copy-pasting a paragraph of romaji to make a point.)

Sarah (BUY MY BOOK!) Moon@prettytranslator.bsky.social

(not a dunk) even Japanese people don't usually use the full Japanese titles for series. who calls Konosuba "kono subarashii sekai ni shukufuku wo"? or, for some shorter, oldschool examples: Fushigi Yuugi = fushiyu Ayashi no Ceres = AyaCere Kodomo no Omocha = Kodocha

In addition to the glory of Goth Rogue, this is the best ever version of Wolverine: No Jean Grey drama, because she is a child, and a respectful sexual tension with Storm that has kept me shipping them to this day. Plus, Logan gets to be grumpy murder dad to the whole team!

I fully believe this, which just makes Newsom look even dumber. There is ZERO chance Paramount was going anywhere; there's nowhere for them to go. Moving would cost them billions and they're already broke as hell.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social

Did Bonta get ANYTHING from Ellison? Because the 30-films-a-year deal that is being reported has been promised for months, and the "editorial board" overseeing CBS and CNN means nothing without teeth. To me it sounds like Ellison threatened to move Paramount out of CA, and Bonta and Newsom folded.

The warrior ethos is especially useless in modern warfare, as most combat is done through tactical screens from 50 miles away. If I can kill you with a drone, how fast you can run doesnt fucking matter.

I understand that Wolverine is a complex, storied character. But in a videogame context, why is 'fist-knife murder gremlin' so hard for studios to get right?

Dan Ryckert@danryckert.com

Wolverine is basically "what if we took out all the fun exploration and mobility from Spider-Man and it was JUST the flashback and Mary Jane sequences?"

Besides the fanfic, Yudkowsky's only contributions to anything are his forum inventing Roko's Basilisk, the stupidest thought experiment ever conceived, and a bunch of his dipshit followers starting a boat cult that killed some people. He's not a serious person

Timnit Gebru@timnitgebru.blacksky.app

I had a thread about @sanders.senate.gov & Max Tegmark before seeing this one. Yudkowsky is an even more overt eugenicist, you don't have to do any digging to see that. He also has ZERO expertise in "AI" except for being a self described "genius" cult leader who wrote a Harry Potter fanfic.

Louisiana would belong to the animals now. It's only inhabitants would be stubborn pockets of Cajuns who hunt the hippos with .50 cals.

GHOSTopher Bird@mightygodking.com

the United States once came perilously close to passing a bill to import hippos to the Missisippi Delta in order to farm them as domestic meat animals, which would have been among the dumbest ideas in history
