there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it

this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

CEOs are about the only people AI really can replace right now.

And to be honest, AI probably can't be anymore inhuman than the average Fortune 500 CEO.

Fox host says he supports America committing war crimes: "I don't care about Iranian cultural sites"

Hegseth has a long history of not only calling for war with Iran, but for thirsting over destroying cultural heritage sites.

He sees the US military as a flaming sword for Jesus…and now he’s in charge of it.

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

Do you hear all of the pushback you’re receiving from state employees and Massachusetts residents? Do you care at all? No one asked for this, no one wants it. All it’s done is ensure that a whole lot of us are going to make it our mission to get you out of office. You don’t deserve to represent us.

Yesterday when we received this announcement email from the Mass CIO, I reported it as a phishing attempt. Imagine my horror in finding out it’s real, and that the governor is *proud* to announce it

We have got to get these people out of office

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because:

1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it.

2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

The Dems should invent a board game where voters get their donor lists and a list of predators from the Epstein files and see how many matches they can make. Voters can play it on the kitchen table so it's a "kitchen-table issue".

Fuentes, yesterday: β€œOur #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned.
