I'm not sure how I got here. Has to do with Spider-Man, I think. I'm still figuring this place out, but I think a bunch of guys like us should team up

Been thinking about "What if we believe women?" & I feel like the GOP does believe women, they just don't give a shit. Their fear mongering about the need to "protect women", especially when it comes to lies about immigration, is just a disguise for the belief that white women belong to white men

A problem I have with animal intelligence research is that researchers often get too close to the subject & start reading into their interactions (cf. Koko). That can happen to actual scientists trying to follow empirical standards.
These tech bros are far too dumb to know that AI is also dumb.

Billionaires are convinced AI is on the verge of making new scientific discoveries because they don't understand how AI chatbots work.

I don't want to poop on anyone's party but maga doesn't care if Trump is a rapist and I'm not convinced they'd ever care, no matter how young the victims were, so long as they're girls.
If anything they'll be pissed to finally realize he's been one of the elites all along.

The name "Alligator Alcatraz" reminds us that America is currently run by adults who are like malicious, giggling children using magnifying glasses to burn ants.

You don't reconcile with people like this. You can't compromise or rehabilitate this kind of evil.
Florida Republicans are now selling concentration camp merch.
Absolutely vile and indefensibly repugnant.

Mr. Fetterman, it's really this simple: you're receiving $174,000 a year for a position to which you were elected after asking people to trust that you'd be an unwavering champion for working class families.
I don't give a fuck that you missed your beach trip. Stop whining and get back to work.

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

Yes, relax. give in. Switch your brain off & let ai raise your kids. Then let it draw you a nice warm bath & sing you a soft lullaby. And as you drift off into sweet oblivion, trust that ai will only sometimes recommend that your kids eat rocks & smoke cigarettes

I vaguely remember a hot mic picking up Biden saying "we fucking did it" when the ACA passed
and boy were some pearls clutched then by some people who are completely silent now

First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a sitting President drop an F bomb, especially when talking about other world leaders.
He has no diplomacy. Talk about not knowing what you are doing. Look in the mirror Yam Tits.

one more election thing this morning: because New York is large, people might lose sight of the Mamdani victory being local politics. but it is, and it points up the potential of local politics to reshape direction, to inspire broadly, to change the story
