looks like the country is suffering an allergic reaction. which is kinda true actually

NYC could solve its budget crisis in like 2 days if they just sent people around to ticket every car parked on a sidewalk

not saying it was intentional but the lazy, boring, weightless, unoriginal action sequences of Marvel, Fast & Furious, Jurassic, etc etc paved the way for audiences to accept this slop
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ writer Rhett Reese reacts to viral AI video of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting:

“I hate to say it. It’s likely over for us.”

best part of this is it's behind a paywall. you have to pay CNBC to give you the stupidest investment advice you've ever read

Just a couple years ago it was "have fun being poor," "your job is going away, you're being replaced loser," "you better reskill because this is the only thing that matters now." So yeah I'm hostile to the idea and I think everyone into it is a thief and a loser

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

whether or not this is true, the next big battle will be in getting people out of the concentration camps they're building
Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."

one of the smartest moves Seinfeld made was quashing the Jerry/Elaine romance early in the series run and never bringing it up again

it's probably not the WORST but the Jess/Nick Miller on-again off-again always felt like a drag on New Girl
With Valentine’s Day coming up… what’s your LEAST favorite romance in a sitcom?

it's such a shame the tech billionaires are all morons who can't actually do things because i for one would love it if they finally fucked off to mars or the moon or a floating city like they're always threatening to do, and left us alone

AI is the first product in my lifetime that's been marketed explicitly and gleefully on putting me and everyone i know out of work. it's an ...interesting... strategy if your goal is mass adoption
And perhaps most importantly the flying car inventor wouldn't sell it by saying "Here's the flying car. Fuck you you're poor now lol."

it's so cool how on every single topic: cultural, technological, political, societal, it's only ever the left that needs to "get serious" and "be realistic" no matter how many times we're proven correct several years later
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

I'm going to continue to push back on the "you have to ~believe in~ amd ~prepare for~ AI" stuff. Working slobs like myself didn't have to "prepare for" computers or internet, either it becomes a thing in your industry or it doesn't.

jesus christ KENNEDY is clowning this guy??

things are shifting
KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

LUTNICK: I don't know

K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level?

L: I don't know

K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

i just realized A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a sitcom. they made a sitcom about Westeros and i for one think that's neat

my main takeaway from ken burns' american revolution doc is that we're the baddies and we really shouldn't have won

(yes i know that's an obvious observation but the doc does a good job of really hammering the point home)

maybe it's wishful thinking but i think we're rapidly approaching one of those "a decade happens in a week" weeks. perhaps sometime this summer?
