Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

I've written about "disordered counterpublics" groups that reinforce shared delusions Here, the LLM becomes a 1 person counterpublic. It mirrors assumptions, absorbs contradictions, & provides the sense of a responsive, confirming audience.
It is the architecture of disordered discourse, automated.

He was more popular 15-20 years ago and people in their 20s whi watched theatrical movies then are in their 40s and like recliners now. This story will repeat in 10 years with Chris Pratt and everyone will also pretend it's not just time+age because those are "boring answers" that don’t change.
As theatrical releases decline, the 54-year-old actor has become the most bankable star on Netflix, Amazon and Apple—earning $20 million or more a movie—in a major paradigm shift of Hollywood economics. Inside the new A-Minus List.

Forgiveness is overrated.

People are trying very hard to shift what that word actually means.

No one has to ever forgive anything. No one is entitled to be forgiven.

You cannot forgive wrongs not done unto you.

Forgiveness is not for the wrongdoer, but for the wronged.

They're not coming over to good, they're not waking up from a brainwash spell.

NO.

They're just realizing Trump is what he is, a fucking con.

They WILL immediately seek for their new dark god.

And for some of them, that's going to be MTG. Who is fucking evil.

The female co-lead of the movie is literally a BACKPACK.
Really shows that the "anti-woke" slop machine is running on fumes by calling Predator: Badlands a feminist travesty when the movie's message amounts to "you're a better person if you care about people other than yourself"

The far right in Canada is the politics of denialism: Evolution, climate science, LGBTQ identities, indigenous rights and title.

It's the weaponized rejection of reality.

Most woke is that when ever a bro anywhere on line under any circumstances makes the slightest complaint about anything being woke we need to make 100 more woke things

And that bro should not feel cozy anywhere on earth -ever-
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

And not just any fish.

This is the red mullet, a fish that bankrupted Roman families. A fish that was, at it's height, worth it's weight in silver.

This was THEE FISH at one point.

They are small fish, and apparently especially delicious.
