It’s crazy that we’ve got all of this advanced technology and the best solution we’ve got for trash disposal is still “throw it in a big stinky pile somewhere reasonably far away”

There are credible allegations of rape against the president, and evidence his administration has taken steps to cover up his relationship with the world's most notorious pedophile. This story is being covered more aggressively by People Magazine than the NY Times, Wash Post, or Wall St Journal.

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

Mark Zuckerberg is straight up way more evil than Elizabeth Holmes but because he’s got a lot of money the tech press has to go to his little events and pretend his ideas are valid instead of being like “what’s up with that dumbass shirt?” and “don’t you regularly influence elections/genocides?”

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Funny to see what industries are like yeah an LLM can do my job. Every creative field is like “fuck you this sucks” and Lawyers are like “yeah for the boring shit but don’t tell anyone” and half of coders are like “I’m shit, I’m a worm, please fucking kill me” and the other half are really annoyed.

If you have ever said to yourself “prediction markets are actually pretty accurate!” it is absolutely imperative that you have a come to jesus moment about what these markets are and who they serve. They are obviously tools to manipulate public opinion and manufacture consent.

the people who run these companies and the people that allow them to exist are 100% aligned in their goal of killing or immiserating anyone who doesn’t look and think like them. Using a website like Kalshi or Polymarket should be treated like using any other illicit website run by criminals.

Obviously we’re not gonna get there with legislation, but you can and should chastise anyone in your life that uses those sites. It’s not exactly hard, they’re money pits run by frat boys, if your buddy is insistent on using them maybe that ain’t your buddy.

Psst... elections markets are biased and possibly rigged, pass it on.

Brazil elected Lula again tonight. Poll averages appear to have had Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro effectively tied, maybe Bolsonaro up 1 on Lula — so not sure why the markets had this race at 80-20 Bolsonaro. Markets might miss big in the U.S. midterms in 9 days too.

I hate this noble savage shit so much. Americans do not think Cheesecake Factory is a nice and fancy restaurant. Just because people eat there because they can afford it does not mean they think it's nice. People aren't stupid. They know what a fancy restaurant is.

Israel does not have a right to exist, in fact, for the good of mankind I think it actually must be destroyed. The genocidal apartheid state is about to continue it’s genocide of the Palestinians by doing to the West Bank what it did to Gaza. The entirety of Israeli society is racist and genocidal.

He could easily take this as an opportunity to promote his own store to AI “game devs”. If he actually believes that disclosures hurts devs, they should be lining up to use a storefront that doesn’t require it! But every single person is a scammer, so they go where the money is.

I can't believe he's still at it, it's been days

If Sweeney thinks he actually has an edge here, he should be taking it, not pestering a dominant competitor to do it. What’s one way you could stand out in Tim’s imaginary world where AI game dev is the future? Being the platform to embrace it and cater to the whims of those devs!

But those devs do not care about building an AI friendly marketplace and community, they are scammers that want to make a quick buck. Epic Games Store is a derelict building, they’ve got no interest in it.

Republicans are going all in on AI-generated ads. Democrats, meanwhile, are shunning them and suggesting the ad campaigns are emblematic of a party that doesn’t care about the truth and can’t be trusted.

I don't love AOC on every issue, but she is so much better on AI than almost all of her fellow electeds. Bernie Sanders, for example, has totally been bamboozled by the "AI safety" cultists.

Feels related to the “direct mutual aid is unsustainable/ineffective” discourse you see sometimes. I’d probably wanna plant that seed in peoples’ heads if I were robbing them blind too.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

Watched the first half of the sixers game at a bar with Erika, felt terrible bc they put me in such a pissy mood. She told me it’d be fine and it somehow was lol
