what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

[extremely Cave Johnson voice] those eggheads at NASA want a RELATIONSHIP? I'll give them a relationship! Hey, space-nerds, the Air Force has got MISSILES and SPACE PLANES so if you don't like it I'm going to take those missiles and blow up your scientific satellites, how's that for a relationship?

If the entire UK gambing industry lost their jobs, that still would not be enough for me. They shouldn't just lose their jobs, they should lose _everything_ imo

It will be bleakly funny when newspapers, economists and politicians tie themselves in knots refusing to explain the economic miracle of any country that doesn't given in to right wing hatred and instead welcomes immigrants so has people to work, pay tax and generally prop up an ageing population

PRO TIP: if you hate talking about yourself or sharing information about your personal life even with, for example, your parents, then this means that when you do occasionally volunteer small bits of information about pretty mundane things, your parents will be super excited to hear about it

The best thing about having a cat is when he’ll walk in the room carrying a slice of ham but you don’t have any ham in the house. Where’d you get the ham little guy?

ok I finished the track and I don't totally hate it
I mean I _kinda_ hate it but that's always the case. Perhaps if I practiced more, put in more effort and wrote more thoughtful lyrics, I'd feel better about it

I’m usually giving counsel of despair so let me offer a hopeful note now: all this is the desperate thrashing of a dying generation, horrified to see up close the consequences of raising their children to believe violence and racism are wrong, and that people should treat each other decently.
This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
