I’m not a 100% hater, I think generative AI does have some good applications, but it’s just not that great! It’s ok and helpful sometimes, but not for everything! These deals are crazy!! It’s like AMD and nVidia are making huge multi-billion investments in PowerPoint

God bless the teens who want to stand up for the feelings of a computer or a tree or a cartoon, or whatever man. The world is full of shitty mean assholes, if the kids are swinging a little too far in the other direction in the actual pursuit of kindness then I think that’s probably ok

The Dems blinked when Bush stole the 2000 election. Obama let Mitch McConnell steal the Supreme Court. They should have arrested Trump on January 7. I would really, really like one national Dem to explain how this time will be different.

They could have perp walked Trump, multiple times, for multiple offenses. They could have convicted him in the Senate, as a bipartisan majority of senators voted to do. When you decide not to pursue justice, this is the result.

It's pretty clear that Trump spends all day eyeball deep in AI images and videos that have become his reality. He's always been detached from Actual Events. This is something new.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There.

A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.
