"AI is going to steal your job"

I don't know man, let's see AI steal your catalytic converter.

My favorite part of the US doing horrible shit is every time it happens there is a segment of the population who says "this isn't who we are!" As though they are 12 years old.

The Russian military literally tried to do that with their invasion that was only supposed to last 3 days.

I don't know how fucking stupid you have to be to conflate Trump being a psycho with Putin somehow showing restraint after years of warfare.
What a great day for Vladimir Putin! I can picture him in the Kremlin, watching the EU & the UK play dumb while Trump trashes Int. Law, their media reporting Maduro's abduction as an 'arrest'. I bet he's thinking: Should I also detain Zelensky and subject him to Russian justice?

Maduro got like 1% of the fake perp walk security that Luigi Mangione did.

I can't wait for the democratic response to be "we support this but are mad we didn't get asked permission >:("

Pissing off the entire world and then setting the precedent that it's cool to kidnap heads of state is certainly a choice.

It's pretty clear here that ICE is purposefully co-opting the infamous "Be A Man Among Men" recruitment ads that the racist Rhodesian regime ran while trying to convince other racists to travel to the country and join their army.
1/ This advertisement is dangerous. ICE agents are shown in full paramilitary gear (helmets, rifles, tactical vests) despite ICE being a civil immigration enforcement agency, not a military force.

Trump admits to taking more aspirin than his docs recommend: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”

What could possibly go wrong! (2/6)

Wilders, who has a political party where he is the only member, finally got some actual power in NL and was such an loathsome worm even his own right wingers hated working with him and he invented a reason to collapse the coalition because he discovered having power is harder than posting

Remember when Eric Adams got elected and a ton of media outlets said he was going to be a national candidate for the democrats in the future.

Lol. Lmao even.

Psycho tech people constantly naming their companies after Lord of the Rings villains should be studied in a lab.

I've trained BJJ and Kickboxing for years in multiple different countries from the US to Armenia to Georgia but absolutely nobody spars nearly as hard as the dutch.

The nicest, chillest casual dude you've ever met will start sparring like they are training for a UFC fight for no goddamn reason.
