Keir Starmer was the model for centrists and popularists who insisted that moving right on issues, especially immigration, is how you win at politics.

Wonder if there will ever be any self-reflection here! Ah well nevertheless

remembering when that media guy went gaga over Eric Adams and gushed how he's be the Dem's next big national star, and how being that monumentally wrong will have zero negative career consequences and he'll simply run it back for the next deniably fascist 'democrat' who appears on the scene

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

It is so cool that Aaron Rodgers became a super huge actual loser after he turned to the dark side. Ever since he wigged out about that Covid vaccine, made himself a martyr, and chose up sides with RFK Jr., he just can't stop losing and letting people down. Great lesson for the kids, thanks man.

the fact that you felt the need to ask AI this obvious shit instead of just thinking for yourself makes you just as much of a dipshit as Aaron Rodgers
I asked AI “why is Aaron Rodgers such a cunt?”

- He often comes across as smug and condescending, especially in interviews

- He presents himself as someone who’s always the smartest person in the room

- He leans into being a contrarian and then acts surprised when people react negatively

By the way, Gavin Newsom is apparently raising money to fight AGAINST the billionaire tax. So thoughtful of him to come to their aid at this particular time in history,

Repeat after me:

I am not cleverer than Luigi Mangione.
I am not cleverer than David Lynch.
I am not cleverer than Yoko Ono.
I am not cleverer than Lowtax.

But if I stand back and watch and learn,
I will be cleverer than I am.

we had like 10 solid years of women going "no means no - please stop raping us if we ask you to" and then in those 10 years all of society built up a collective rage so powerful that now the most soulless men in your high school made a machine to steal your likeness to use as a rape torment bot 24/7

The reason so many are surprised to find that Bardot was a POS is that the French took a novel approach. Instead of giving a racist old has-been's views the oxygen of outrage, they largely shunned her.
We could all learn something here.

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

The upside of naming your company after a Tolkien thing is it lets everyone know exactly who is going to be first against the wall come the revolution.

another day working at the japanese artificial mouth company. everyone keeps asking me if they can fuck the artificial mouth. buddy, they wont even let me fuck it
This is an artificial mouth created by Japanese researchers. It uses artificial vocal cords, a trachea system, and a flexible silicone mouth that moves and shapes sound in real time.

It sounds so human-like!
