The crazy thing about all these replies is that I watched an extended clip and he DID go check on Kaya afterwards. Literally anyone could have shared that and I would have seen satisfied.

Instead people just went into complete attack mode. Gosh, people need to learn how to actually communicate.

I meant neglecting his dog when they're hurt, not shocking the dog. That's the horrible act that I've pointed out and nobody has even acknowledged beyond "lol it's normal to not care about your dog yelping in pain, I do it all the time."

I've owned animals my whole life too, and when one of them makes that noise, I'm not stopping until I find out why. They *absolutely* do not "literally just do that."

Given the replies, I'm pretty sure I spend more time outside than most of you people whose sole media consumption is the stream of consciousness of this one guy lol.

You're arguing against someone who likes Hasan and agrees with most of his takes. I don't watch his content 24/7, it's just not what I want to do with my time.

I'm not someone who hates Hasan with a passion. But I'm detached enough to be suspicious and not defend what would be a very bad act.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

For me the most questionable thing is his dog yelped in pain and he goes "jesus christ, what are you doing?"

idk, that's not how most pet owners would react to a pained yelp unless they knew what caused it.

Oh man, you can tell that luncheon the Democrats had at the beginning of the year is really starting to pay dividends.

Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein.bsky.social · Jan 23

Senate Democrats had a luncheon to discuss how to go viral. “One of the bright spots Democrats highlighted…was a viral video from the pandemic of Warner making a tuna melt in his kitchen”

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok

i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

I had a similar story. I was doing the golden needle challenge (only 1 hand per round) and, after finally getting a good run off the ground, a DNA appeared in the shop on ante 4 or 5. Monkey brain activates and says "oh that's perfect!" It was in fact not perfect.

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

If there's someone doing work out there on the fringes that matters to you, please let them know, because this world is going to tell them the opposite every day.

The insane thing is that I think Trump is aware that threatening sports is the bridge too far for a lot of his base.

Support genocide? Kidnap, torture, kill Americans? Ruin the economy? Subvert democracy?

"Whatever. Who cares."

But, for a lot of them, sports is literally their *entire identity.*
