It sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

You cannot have “AI” without having “machine that almost solely exists to create nonconsensual sexually explicit images of mainly women and children.” The former exists in tandem with the latter. That’s how this industry has worked so far, and it has only gotten worse with zero accountability

I dont remember anyone, when I was young, giving me a "You're can do ANYTHING" kind of talk, even a hint. What did they see? What did they know

It's cool to be alive in a period you know historians will have a nickname for, but to only be able to wonder whether we are in "The Bristol Stool Scale Seven Twenties" or "The Century Of Unstoppable Evil" or "The Last Year Before Everything Started Getting Bad" or "2025, as humans had counted it"

Never forget that when conservatives couldn't win in a democracy they didn't abandon conservatism; they abandoned democracy.
Bush v. Gore was an unambitious declaration of war by Republicans against democracy and the rule of law. Republicans made clear they didn't view those principles merely as malleable concepts they could cynically bend; no, they see those principles as fundamentally incompatible with conservatism.
As one of those Democratic attorneys who was camped out in West Palm Beach - taking depositions from inconsolable grandmas swearing they hadn’t voted for Buchanan, I still have trauma. 🥺

Maybe age 8: my friend Jimmy was leaving after a really fun afternoon and I yelled for him to wait. He and our parents turned. I had nothing planned and just started singing "Here Comes Jimmy Claus." The adults all started laughing SO HARD! I wish I'd taken it as a reward, I'd be a different person

it's interesting because right wingers won't shut up about triggering the libs, liberal tears, etc etc but on a deep level what they want isn't for us to be angry, what they want is for us to apologize and admit they were right all along
Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

A lawyer I know is trying to help an abuse victim client relocate to get away from their abusive ex. They have an infant child and they're really struggling due to SNAP being cut. Would be really cool if you're in a position to help a stranger out.

Yesterday morning I was making coffee when the garbage truck flew up to the end of the driveway about 3 hours later than usual. The guy jumped down, tossed the lid off our can, grabbed the bag with both gloved hands, and tore the top of it right off. Trash flew everywhere.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

My wife made me an omelet this morning despite being treated for a bladder infection! She was so careful to prepare sterile food for me, without any infectious splatter from urinating near the food preparation. I love my wife, who makes a mean Western omelet and is on a robust course of antibiotics!

If you ask 100 random people for $5 you might end up with $5. Ask 5 people for $100 you'll get nothing.
This is not deep. But I wanted to record it for my next "we need to fund raise during a recession" conversation. I think it could be persuasive if off the cuff, not as a post though
