the more I read about the promises OpenAI has made, the more disgusted I am. They've promised to deploy 10GW of Broadcom chips *by the end of 2029*, a chip that has yet to tape out, in data centers yet to be planned or funded or the power acquired. We are in a black hole of ethics and good sense.

Happy Columbo’s Day

As Democrats contemplate a 2026 or 2028 run and wonder what message will most motivate voters, they need to understand that the minimum opening bid is vengeance.

Horror movies have a long tradition of the "conspiracy nut who turns out to be right the whole time" character, but Warlock might be the first to have a "random minor character who shows up halfway through but is just on board from the jump" character, like the Mennonite farmer.

The Shitting Detective, Vol. 1: By Bowels Betrayed!

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Really fortuitous casting that Jersey is shaped exactly like John Nettles' head.

My grand theory is that 6.5 is the ideal rating on IMDb for an interesting movie because it means it alienated idiots. If you’d like proof: Almost every Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie is rated between 6.3-6.9.

Lmao, dumbass didn't know now of days is a synonym for nowadays.

Bit depressing to think about if somehow there are more elections and somehow Democrats get into power that no one will be prosecuted or held to account bc consultants will say its too politically risky again and the cycle after that we'll do it all over again and even worse again. Ah well. Ah well!

can you imagine just sitting down to plan this and not feeling any shame or hesitation. seeing jane goodall on the tv as you’re doing it and how her thing was gorillas and yours is getting ready to deport a guy who’s been wrongly imprisoned since reagan’s first term
