If you force your workers to use "A.i.," your workers will hate you, and that will undermine everything you want to do in the long term.

Polymarket is taking bets on whether the seven Cornell students accused of raping a student will receive a felony sex crime charge. Among the athletes endorsing Polymarket: LeBron James, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Sue Bird, Reggie Bush and Richard Sherman. frontofficesports.com/article/poly...

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

Maybe if the AI people yell at me for the 5 millionth time about how I’m not using their dogshit technology that has made everyone’s lives worse I’ll finally start liking it for no conceivable reason.

Listen if we asked you if we could shit in your bed before shitting in your bed you wouldn't have let us! What were we supposed to do, not shit in the bed? It's industry standard everywhere else to shit in the bed so we just absolutely have to.

"If it was opt-in nobody would op-in." You cannot be openly admitting that you are force feeding people asbestos because if you didn't force feed it, people wouldn't eat it. What the fuck are we doing y'all???

Hello I reinvented Cliff’s Notes so adults can revert to being lazy 8th graders who didn’t do their homework. Give me a billion dollars now.

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...

the reason we dont have medicare for all is bc corporations need employer based healthcare to keep you chained to your desk in a job you hate that doesnt pay you what youre worth

About 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E

Do Americans actually like sport? They seem to feel there must always be something else going on to keep you engaged. Most fans just want the game to restart. We’re capable of enjoying the break.

I do not know what it will take to get "centrist" politicians to understand that if you chase fascist-curious voters by becoming more fascist, they'll just choose the full-on fascist instead of you.

I got the email from Sony announcing that they will be closing the PS3 and Vita online stores next year. It explained what I will and won't be able to do. Then the email ends with "Play Has No Limits" Based on what you've said recently, Sony, it certainly seems like it DOES.

As someone who has been struggling with this for months, if not years, without the ability to take any time off due to the crumbling economy and empty social safety net he helped create, I am torn between “glad you got the help you need” and “fuck off.”

Rep. Tom Kean finally speaks after months away from Congress for a previously unexplained absence: "I was given the diagnosis of depression ... the doctors recommended I remain in the hospital to address my illness"

All the AI slop in steam next fest is such a bummer. Why the fuck would I bother playing your game when you couldn’t even be bothered to make it yourself???

Others have turned down more money than they offered me! Not everyone is a piece of shit! The fact that Polymarket and Kalshi have this much money to burn is a huge red flag. There’s more honor in dealing drugs than shilling for prediction markets, IMO.

Polymarket offered me enough money to pay my rent for ten months for one post in my newsletter and I turned it down because I enjoy being able to sleep at night.

An underrated reason for why NBA Playoff games on Amazon are a bad thing - when these stupid AI commercials come on there isn't another channel to easily switch to.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
