Tim Kaine is on par with Fetterman in terms of caving to Republicans, he just doesn’t get as much attention because Virginia has become less swing-y than Pennsylvania and Kaine won’t be up again until 2030.

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?
Shaheen: "When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"

“Okay, so, hear me out… Okay, so, Republicans screw the Dems and never schedule the ACA vote, right? Or, like, they do, but then the vote fails… obviously.
“So then everyone’s premiums skyrocket, okay? So that just makes everyone ANGRIER, and then the Dems sweep.”

I’m already seeing people insist that even with this capitulation the Democrats will still sweep 2026 because Trump is that bad. It was precisely that attitude that gave us 2024.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately.
He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go.

The thing is that while the government was able to eventually earn back the money it used to bailout the banks (and even made a profit), that was because everyone needs banks.
But there is NO evidence that OpenAI will be able to pay back a bailout.
So this taxpayer money will truly be torched.

Funny how fast the talk about OpenAI seeking a government bailout happened once even pro-AI commentators began calling out their circular funding ecosystem as being wildly unsustainable...
But let's be real: They were always going to ask for a bailout. That was their grift's goal from the start.

OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout - The American Prospect
For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.

the moment any media replaces any human labor with AI it is dead to me. And anyone with any iota of appreciation for the hard work that goes into their games, books, music, illustrations, animations, etc etc etc should feel similarly
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Congress is run by 20 y/o’s because eventually young, bright-eyed staffers realise working 12 hour days for less than $60k/yr. in D.C. fucking sucks, so they bounce out by age 30 and their office snaps up one of the 100s of bright-eyed recent college graduates willing to take their place.
it’s not only a recipe for corruption, it’s a talent issue - we lose a ton of talented folks who would do fantastic work in public service to the private sector because of the salary delta, which most people don’t have family money to make up for
these are important jobs that should pay well

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
