There really needs to be a massive betting line on which bubble will crash first, crypto or AI.

Lucky for the billionaires who created the bubble, Trump installed the guy who started the run on SVB then wailed until he was bailed out, David Sacks, as his Crypto/AI Czar.

Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

Ugh, just got sloplash real bad.

Sloplash - The feeling when one’s soul is crushed upon realizing that something they thought was good and real is actually just AI slop.

Opinion | You can tag as much faux spirituality on this as you like, but these are traditional (read patriarchal) gender roles, repackaged for the modern dating scene – and it needs to be consigned to the dustbin

And I will never let this issue go by without mentioning that one of the biggest opponents to this kind of sensible reform is consumer advocate turned racist NIMBY Ralph Nader, who is still fucking things up in the DMV at the age of 91.

It's @ingforart.bsky.social's theory of Antifascist Clowns.

Fash street thugs want to fight to show toughness, but clowns are a step too far. If they win against the clown, the best they can say is they beat up a clown. But if they lose? Even if it's a %1 chance... there's no coming back from that

The best part of how Portland is handling this is they’re not only protesting, but also angering the goose steppers by not taking them seriously.

Pretty genius. Because even ICE & the national guard don’t want to be displayed as that asshole fighting people in cute costumes.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

I understand why people *want* the police to intervene--normies are like, 'I thought cops are supposed to arrest people doing crimes, ICE is right there doing crimes, go do your thing'

but police organizations take nearly every opportunity to be like, 'oh you misunderstood what our thing is'

Spotify platformed Joe Rogan and its founder uses his fortune to make genocidal murder weapons. Tim Cook may be a boot-licking shill, but I think you’ve made the right choice.

It was always a racist dog whistle. It’s only becoming more opaque.

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

I really want to know what the coherent angle of attack here is supposed to be.

Is it that Wilson is out of touch? Her living situation now undermines this

Is it that Wilson won't follow through? Her political wins undermine this.

So I was shocked — but hardly surprised
- to read in The Seattle Times that my opponent dropped out of Oxford just weeks before graduation because she was turned off by "careerism."

I keep waiting for the powers that be in media to grasp the concept of bad faith, realize how often "restore trust in news" and similar statements mean "stop doing journalism, lie more in ways I like," come from people ideologically committed to destroying trust in news, and can never be satisfied.

I too am keen to "restore trust in news" by turning a major broadcast network into a 24/7 slurry of right wing culture war propaganda and engagement trolling

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
