it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..."
then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live!
people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US.
it's MAD.

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

The number of posts that condescend to anyone who happens to read them is amazing.
'Hate to break it to you' 'you didn't see this coming because' etc as opening salvo, not replies? Astonishing. Do you get stabbed on the reg in your day to day? because I think I found the underlying condition.

It is my strong conviction that there is no conviction harsh enough in our current legal systems to be deserved by the degenerates who created Real Politics Gambling.
This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

The last thing this man sounds like is “cognitively amplified.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

This is a great story, and yet another reminder that -- for something that felt like a fun goofy feature when it launched -- as we lose more and more actors, the AV Club's "Random Roles" has turned out to be an amazing oral history project.
