@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price

electricity water clean air knowledge

you name it

they should be treated like the common thieves they are

these politicians and american executives are not bothered enough by killing children or heads of state

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

Bari Weiss reposing a CBS News stories that says the current war with Iran stretches back to 1979

Story at the The Free Press: Our 50 Year War with Iran

Bari Weiss is pushing the “50 year war” narrative at both the Free Press and CBS. The erases both American culpability for the current war (since Iran started in 1979!) and the reasons why a theocratic anti-American regime took power in the first place.

This is a knitted patch with four lines of design. The middle two read “MELT ICE,” with a water droplet, and the top and bottom are four water droplets. This is made with a black yarn for the background and a blue, variegated yarn for the text and droplets.

This chart is 27 stitches by 35 rows, and was used to knit the patch to the left. It has four rows of design, the top and bottom being a line of four water droplets. The middle two rows read “MELT” and a water droplet before “ICE”. Every odd row is marked with a K for knit on the left, and every even row is marked with a P for purl on the right. Text above the chart reads, “ cast on 27 stitches,” and below it reads, “ cast off and weave ends.”

day 1159: finished this patch today 🧶

So far, this was my favorite color combo of the three versions I’ve made of this patch 🩵

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Fox host says he 'hasn't washed hands in 10 years' Harvard and Princeton graduate Pete Hegseth says germs don't exist because he can't see them.

Just a quick reminder that Pete Hegseth was also the Fox News host who said he never washes his hands, because he doesn't believe in micro organisms as he can't see them. Of course we're all fucked

Updates at both our jobs today have me thinking, "Man, neither of us is even eligible to sell plasma."

But anyway, the U.S. economy is FINE, clearly.

Needs more pepperoni!

Over 300,000 workers went on strike in 2025 — a 13% increase from the previous year.

Why?

Perhaps it's because CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

Workers have every right to be fed up. Solidarity.

It's unusual for the Secretary of Defense to spend this much time obsessing about children's genitalia, but I guess that's sort of the main theme of the second Trump administration.

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

Lithium Plume in Our Atmosphere Traced Back to Returning SpaceX Rocket Space junk returning to the Earth is introducing metal pollution to the pristine upper atmosphere as it burns up on re-entry, a new study has found.

Hey, so all those rocket launches people love cheering on are probably destroying the upper atmosphere. Repairing the ozone layer in the 90s is one of our all-time great achievements as a global civilization; private rocket men seem intent on reversing that.
