ok but the way this applies to like. literally all four of the fortune’s weave routes and core casts to varying degrees.

Incredible

Big deal however it shakes out. If it goes to court, it's hard to see how it wouldn't go to Piker. Even if Jennings settles, that spells bad news for clip farmers. Some nasty-ass Discord servers are gonna be in a panic.

Hasan Piker filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN commentator Scott Jennings in federal court and wants more than $72 million in damages

Day 27 of Octobeni! Today's Kobeni (and Power and Makima) is based on the music video for "Kimi Ni Mune Kyun" by Yellow Magic Orchestra! #SantanaelArt #Octobeni #ChainsawMan #Kobeni

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

yeah

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

this remains, to me, the single most baffling thing that happens regularly I know it’s a power thing, but how the fuck are SO MANY dudes apparently sending unsolicited dick pictures 24/7 what is wrong with men

"You can't block someone just for being annoying!" Those are actually the most important people to block

Look, I know all the reasons we got here, but we really need to start seriously thinking about what we do in a world where The Markets punish whole countries for voting for decency, compassion, and fairness. We must stop pretending the capitalist machine is an objective, value neutral force.

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

Nobels: Literature - Naguib Mahfouz, Abdulrazak Gurnah Chemistry - Ahmed Zewail*, Omar Yaghi*, Elias James Corey*, Moungi Bawendi (*=also Wolf) Medicine: Peter Medawar Peace - Anwar Sadat, Yasser Arafat, Mohamed ElBaradei, Tawakkol Karman Fields: Michael Atiyah Booker: Jokha Alharthi

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

One cool thing about being a regular Dem donor is how the party tries to demoralize me before every election. I am again drowning in spam texts clearly aimed at ripping off the elderly. Several Senate candidates have worked hard, overcoming my many "stop" replies and blocks, to make me hate them.

My high-school physics teacher was on about that shit in 2005 I won't let them erase you, Carl.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

a little nervous that i haven’t posted a new drawing in a while. i have two partially done wips that i have been sitting on the back burner… maybe they’ll work out 😣

This is an amazing thread, but I find myself compelled to write my own since for the last decade I spent an enormous amount of time and effort analyzing JoJo and specifically Part 6: Stone Ocean as one of the strangest outliers within SJ I have ever seen. Part 6 and Part 2 of CSM go well as sisters.

reze 💣

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Look, I'm an evolutionary physiologist, ok? I believe in biology, not this sentimental feminist claptrap. Women are biologically optimized to be nurturers. They run households, they don't fight lions. That's why they're the only ones we can trust to govern our complex, industrialized civilization.

When those in the third world asked to not be exploited and dominated by the western world, they were really asking for chatbots that cheapens labor even further. When AI is used to further bomb, enslave, and dehumanize on a massive scale, the cry for the world is for more. More money for Sam Altman

Yes, making the richest people in the world even richer at the cost of human knowledge, skill, and labor is the dream of all working class people everywhere. We were put on this earth to give our bodies, minds, and soul to the technologists to devour and sell it back to us. That’s liberation.

what the hell is that first point? God it's all so racist. Yeah minority language speakers need machine translation for some reason I don't even know what that is supposed to mean

guy who says he is 'as left as they come' but is actually a reactionary conservative for the 90s instead of the 50s

The idea of this course is a bit wild. We think that first year grad students enter a control program would benefit from knowing a bit more abstract math than a typical engineering bachelors gives. In particular, geometric methods in control require manifolds and algebraic topology.

If it didn't influence the political, media, and investor class so much, and if it didn't have real world consequences, it would be hilarious, but the superstructure soothsayers are among the most pathetic group imaginable and their little performance is so transparent and frankly sad.

Over time, your Friedman's, your Yglesias's, they become so intertwined with capitalist benefactors and so addicted to the money and fake influence that they just become propagandists to whatever the capitalist class want but continue to frame it like their BIG SPECIAL BRAINS worked it all out.

The most influential voices of the passing superstructure media share a few things in common: an outsized sense of intelligence that hides the most run-of-the-mill takes, a refusal to consider their place in the structure and its influence, and the memory of a guppy when it comes to their mistakes.

Like realizing your parents aren't infallible, political adulthood begins when you realize the "great minds" elites rely on are all dumb fucking propagandists that capitalism lifts through the system because they're shameless in their wrongness and are willing to serve as dull priests of whatever.

Nobody is dumber than someone who knows math

National borders have *never* been containers for politics and political processes. I don't have time to write a full thread, so here are some resources.

Sure, almost every AI venture has failed. And companies aren't seeing measurable productivity gains. And all the major companies have operating losses on the books. But like...think about it, bro. Imagine though. Pretty crazy, actually. See, here's some forecasting model. Believe it.
