I appreciate that we are now being blamed for not wanting AI. It's apparently our fault that tech companies couldn't make a useful product.

On the other hand, this is the view from my attic right now. So something is nice.

Democrats have got to stop responding to Republicans and just embrace good things. Welfare? Good! Cities? Good! Immigration? Good! Why try to impress people who will never vote for you?
So in the end, what does this article amount to? Republicans are telling the same lie about welfare that they've told for 40 years despite consistent efforts — including many led by Democrats — to restrict and police it.

And in response, Democrats should restrict and police it even more.

My new @nebula.tv subscription is already paying for itself. My 3 month old refused to sleep last night, so I watched an entire season of Jet Lag: the Game, which is about perfect for those sleep deprived hours.

The Good Place in 2018 might have been the first fictional show to depict Elon Musk as a creep. (I’m not exaggerating…he was a character on Rick & Morty in 2019!)

DS9 has a former anti-colonial terrorist as a main, sympathetic character, but Miller thinks it just became woke.
Stephen Miller is upset about Star Trek, one of the most socially progressive franchises in TV history

Fun fact: France has nuclear weapons. Turning this whole mess into a possible standoff between nuclear powers.
Look at what Trump has done.

As far as I recall, the computers in Star Trek weren't racist. And could do math.
"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.

"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

So, I just read "Life After Cars" by @thewaroncars.bsky.social. Great book, the section on care noise really struck me. I don't think we really realise how loud cars are. I recently had my second kids, so our stroller is now a twofer, with the infant near me, and my 2 year old out in front. 1/

We owned a VHS tape rewinder, a device that only rewound VHS tapes. I remember running tales through it before we returned them to Blockbuster.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Sweet potato fries are not as good as regular fries. They just never have the right texture.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

Can't wait for archeology of our decorating trends: "Despite mastering climate control, many homes continued to contain a place for fire. We believe this was to appease a fire deity or allow for domestic sacrifices to the gods".
probably bc it looked sick as hell

If I have learned nothing else from @rifftrax.com, I have at least learned you can put any word in front of "cop" and have a viable movie (for a given value of viable) (currently watching Samurai Cop on the stream, which I briefly thought was Karate Cop).

BREAKING:

The House Judiciary Committee just released — on New Year's Eve — the 255-page transcript of Jack Smith's closed door deposition.

House Republicans continue their attempts to bury Smith's testimony.

The first person to "Master the automobile" was arguably Bertha Benz, who was the first person to drive a car with an internal combustion engine a long distance, and was never American. (even the first to die in a car accident wasn't American. It was the Irish Naturalist Mary Ward).
Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.
