"hmm i dont know the answer to this, but i asked chat gpt" shut the fuck up . you are useless

Part of the right wing sales pitch was "Liberals are annoying" but they quickly proved they are infinitely more irritating, it's not even close

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

the one other way that ai is advertised is that it’s inevitable technology that will replace real artists so we have to speed that process up by making the worst shit imaginable

the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

Once I stayed up all night drawing actual illustrations for a spot that ran nationally on short notice and I would like to tell the people who “hardly slept” because they were “writing prompts” that they are soft pathetic babies who can go to baby hell.

There is no monstrous grift Jimmy Fallon won't run cover for

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

Are people on Bluesky enjoying the excellent new South Park episodes this year? Or do they all still hate the show because the creators had some shitty both-sides-y takes in 2004 lmao

This shit makes me so angry man. Like how ICE used a pic from South Park's anti-ICE episode as a recruitment ad on Twitter. They think it's soo funny to mock their critics like this but picking fights with beloved South Park, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter etc isn't the smartest strategy imo!

I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.

It's funny how the most persistent pro-AI argument is "AI is here to stay and if you don't accept that you're just a stupid luddite who will be left behind". When in reality it seems like regular people are growing to despise AI more and more every day lmao

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.

They were trying to flip over the boat, which had just been struck by a missile in the middle of the ocean, in order to _not drown_

An example of a very annoying thing I constantly see on Bluesky, that I call "mindless one-upping":

PERSON 1: Donald Trump is a horrible, bigoted, dangerous moron who is destroying America

PERSON 2: Um, you forgot "evil"???

Person 3: The correct word to describe Trump is "sociopath", actually.

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

They are beating people who maybe once had a broken taillight and sending them to foreign slave prisons while freeing the worst fraudsters and every corrupt pol. The juxtaposition is so stark and appalling.

i just think we should live in a society
