fwiw insofar as there’s a maga after trump, i think RFK, jr. is an underrated figure for inheriting it, he is unlikely to disappear whenever trump croaks
RFK, jr. is one of the few high profile people in the world who is as naturally and unpleasantly weird as donald trump, and for many of the same reasons

Motherfucker, I made a movie for $600 in 2022 and I didn't need a plagiarism machine or to ask randos for ideas. I just asked myself "Wouldn't it be fucked up if snowmen ate people?"

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

There are ~80M non white citizens of voting age. Say they voted at 50% (a slight underestimate). Say they voted 25% in person (underestimate probably). With what resources is ICE going to arrest and detain *ten million people* so they can’t vote?
One of my biggest fears about the midterms is that ICE could flood the polls with agents who perform Kavanaugh Stops on every non-white person before they get a chance to cast a ballot, then detain them until voting is over. Which is not far-fetched at this point. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-po...

My wife said AI in Outlook has started to send summary notes about emails and the summaries are longer than the emails and full of wrong info lol. "I got a 5 word email from my coworker that said 'Lunch will be at 1' and the summary said 'Your lunch meeting is now at 11' lmaoo
you know what would be a great way to market the AI technology you really want me to use but which I have thus far refused to touch?
what if you used it to imply that my emails are poorly written, in real time as I'm writing them, even though I'm consciously trying to avoid sounding like AI?

It's wild that Fetterman saw Kristin Sinema do this shit and be the first person ever kicked out of the Democratic Party for being too conservative/irritating, and was like "I want that for me".

the way that trumps administration needs to do something deeply insane every time media cycles against them die down is wild
Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

Like a lot of Trump's moves, the authoritarianism is exceeded only by the counter-productive stupidity. "James Talarico banned by Trump" is a million billion trillion times better for him than a softball interview with Stephen Colbert, and may win him the primary he's in.
Stephen Colbert blasted Brendan Carr after FCC scrutiny led CBS to pull an interview with Texas State Rep James Talarico. Instead, 'The Late Show' posted it to YouTube.

the AI boom has just obliterated the home PC market, best thing I did last year was build a new computer before it all went to shit (I was trying to get ahead of tariffs and, well, that didn’t end up being the problem)
