Trump is increasingly worried about his own mortality, and he's trying to use government to create a physical legacy that will outlive him.

Which is why every bit of it must be torn down and smashed to bits.

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

shit like this is the core of the damage the social internet has done to us

we have replaced actual expertise with "some dude with a podcast who makes you feel like his buddy while he bullshits into a microphone" and now a ton of people think that measles and chicken pox are the same
Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.

Anyway, it's very cool and awesome that he has so much cultural and political influence.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?

This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

We are in a Post-Customer world now. Having the money to buy something is no longer good enough, now corporations can simply decide: nah you’re just not good enough for our shareholders

My favorite part of this photo is that I didn't see the person on the road right away - I liked it anyway, but noticing the person after following their shadow made me admire this even more.

I advise Democrats to get on board with Bernie on this now instead of waiting a half a decade and some huge losses before they do anyway, per tradition.
Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

Anyone who ever endorsed Trump is not someone you should be listening to. Their judgment is crap

Putting this all in Biden is ridiculous. Mitch or any Republican could have voted for impeachment either time.

The media is extremely complicit as well. And all these idiots voting for a criminal are the most to blame. And those who could be bothered to vote.

Marco Rubio Is Not the Adult in the Room. He’s the Warmonger.

Every single senator eagerly confirmed their former colleague to be secretary of state, but he is not at all the moderating force that they thought he’d be.

I worked for DOJ. I don't think people realize how dangerous it is for the White House to takeover the daily operations of the Justice Department.

We have to stop acting like the super rich AND our political leaders have access to some special kind of knowledge. Most of the time they don’t know anything. They’re just as dumb as the rest of us if not dumber, they just have bigger bank accounts and/or more power.

Those roving patrols and racial targeting that Kavanaugh allowed?

This is what they led to.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump has sued over jokes, tweets, interviews, and news articles but not once over any of the countless accusations of child rape. — That silence says everything.
