okay, well, good luck to them on pivoting away from Trump over the cause nearest and dearest to his heart - hurting people of color - when so far they haven't been able to pivot away from Trump on the matter of him making them walk around in shoes that don't fit

I'll believe this when I see it

If you can’t say something nice, just do what I do: whisper “WTF” to the nearest cat. 🤣

But in all seriousness, as a central Illinoisan myself… tornadoes are kind of our THING.

Pinks gave me the most trouble.

oh wow. not used to seeing good legal news! or hell good news period

we need you to wear more pieces of flare. oh also please be like a cishet christian white nationalist (or equivalent). if you can't do these two simple things, we will simply be forced to terminate you.

1) A cat pawing at you for pets/snuggles
2) freshly picked strawberries, still warm from the sun
3) finding the exact item you’re looking for, in the exact color scheme you want, at a non-ridiculous price

I unscrapped scrapping my article about Charles Sonny Burton, and wrote about a different positive aspect of the commutation of his death sentence:

It's another signal that Americans are ready to stop executing people for murders they didn't commit

The country is being run by a bunch of dorks too scared to take their wrong-sized shoes off

This is false.

Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

they thought Venezuela meant they were invincible and could do whatever they wanted and don’t understand that different countries are different and have agency and might not go along with your plans

this is also my ongoing frustration. you can not run for office on "democracy is under threat" and then lose and go "oh well, nice game everyone"

they put us in a constant state of hypervigilance & terror begging for our last $5 to save the country and then they do the joint softball game.

"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next."

this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good

lookin like when my 3-year-old niece steals my shoes and tries to traipse around

utterly unbelievable, and at the same time completely believable

these absolute fucking clowns

Well, MY new startup uses AI to simulate weather and then provides you with the weather in your area.

No need for complicated satellite data! Look at how much money we can save!

This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)

A thread about being a human being, a good person, a union man (makes you a hero), and doing the right thing. Fuck AI. Fuck Capcom. All praise of Ben Diskin for standing on the correct principled ground.

this did make me laugh, albeit bleakly

this is the most Not Fucking Around anything has ever been. I can’t wait to see it, but I ALREADY agree that crypto is a massive scam, so I also can’t wait until the people this movie is trying to convince also see it and at least some of them hopefully rethink everything about themselves

there is an extremely long list of people who need to be held accountable in the next administration but sending the DOGE boys to big boy jail needs to be near the top of the list

this is disgraceful but it’s also notable that they’re running the exact same playbook that completely failed to beat him in the election and it’s even less effective now that voters can contrast that with Mamdani’s actual behavior as mayor

AI is even ruining dioramas now?? Is nothing sacred???

the thing is that

this is so funny

and they're all walking around miserably in shoes that don't fit and they deserve it

but also, it's not funny

because this is the same crumbling brain that is issuing orders to kill people about a hundred different ways every day

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

So...Surface level looking into him, he runs a venture company with fellowships to get you "AI native skills". He knows not to talk about AI much on his wordpress blog, and to mention his non-AI investments, but goes in on the grift with the venture capital company.
