I really fucking wish the AI people who don't understand consent, privacy, risk mitigation, or compassionately answering user concerns about any of the former would stop talking to the public because it's already goddamn hard enough to get people to understand not all machine learning is this shit

In this sense, you are paying just as much for the service, as you are for the product. A good tailor will gently decline your bad ideas and guide you towards better ones. I'm reminded of this essay by Graydon Carter about his experience at Anderson & Sheppard.

New way to fuck with a Cybertruck: put a magnet on one of the panels in an inconspicuous place and slowly rot a hole into it.

The CEO of Delta says that having to refund a passenger for a cancelled flight is "government overreach."

These corporations are endlessly greedy, and the next 4 years will be a slue of efforts to swindle consumers out of every penny.

incredible that he's deriding it in the same post he self-censors its name because he knows the Vichy Twitter algorithm buries any mention of or links to its competitors

There is a segment of the population who never:

-had any real impositions
-learned that you aren't entitled to someone's time
-learned that just because you say it doesn't make it worthy of consideration
-been taught to mind their own fucking business

And they get Big Mad when told any of it now.

he cares about three things:

a) mass deportations

b) tariffs

c) retribution against everyone he believes has wronged him

everything else will be left to the whims of the amoral grifters surrounding him

My best Gorka tweet, lost when I nuked my account there:

Wife: What is a Sebastian Gorka
Me: Imagine if Mr. Potato head got a doctorate in racism from a spätzle factory
BREAKING

It’s imperative that the Left start planting conspiracy theories now about JD Vance plotting against Trump so that when a routine coronary sends him to the big McDonald’s in the sky there’s a mob of deranged MAGA supporters dragging JD out the naval observatory convinced he was behind it

The withdrawal of Afghanistan was botched, but it wasn't Donahue's fault (and ugh to having to defend a General and an Airborne unit). The 82nd went in to Kabul in the middle of chaos to secure the airport and did about the best they could given the circumstances.

Genuinely hadn't occurred to me before reading this, but that's why journalists are banging the "Bluesky is an echo chamber" drum, right? They can't use this platform for scraping news stories. Not only is there no outrage farming, but the nuclear block also limits their ability to follow discourse.
Gl1nn€r, before he caught transphobia, was right for once when he diagnosed the problem with contemporary news media as a need for constant argument. “Two sides to the story”. They want adversarial combat for clicks. If we don’t offer it, we’re useless to them. I would like that to happen.
