I watched some of this press conference. I didn’t see Trump as completely out of it. But he did seem tired. He said the same exact shit but with no energy or conviction.

Trump is committing the cardinal sin of television coverage. He’s boring.

“Sir, we’ve found something… interesting. He’s apparently downloaded over 600 images of frogs to his computer. Specifically, one cartoon frog over and over again. We’re thinking it may be some sort of covert code system.”

You mean the multi-billion dollar, souped-up autocorrect might not actually be able to replace the human workforce? I am shocked, shocked I say!

Do you think Sam Altman might have… gasp lied to his investors about its capabilities?

Imagine the terror of a supporter of a rapist felon candidate, who you pretend is chosen by a fake Republican Jesus, being challenged by a candidate who has the audacity to be a woman and black.

And she’s going to win.

She tried to introduce an amendment about Hungarians in Ukraine not being allowed to speak their native language.

It’s an extremely obscure conspiracy theory that happens to be one of Putin’s big talking points. He brought it up in the Tucker Carlson interview. How the fuck does MTG know anything about ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia and what language they speak? She can barely string a sentence together herself.

While slumping over a desk for 9 hours straight improves back health. Prevents 100% of cases of lumbago.

It’s not just that the old money dragons of commercial real estate are losing money, it’s also that middle management nothings need to exert their authority over you in person to feel relevant.

WFH makes every company money on decreased overhead. The war against it is 100% commercial property landlords that collect rent in the billions.

Fuck every single one of those fucking assholes. They are destroying our world to squeeze out just a little more.

Bernie: Here’s a bill that will help literally everyone. People waste less of their lives at work, and productivity goes up massively for the corporate overlords. There is no downside here for anyone.

Everyone: Shut up, hippy.

Zuckerberg said. “Mental health is a complex issue and the existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link between using social media and young people having worse mental health outcomes.”

Non-apology followed by an actual denial. Very misleading headline.

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.”

1 Timothy 4:1-2

Total speculation, obviously, but putting all this information about military purges together, it looks like China did some internal checks on its military capabilities after the Russian military fell apart in the early months in Ukraine. The results caused Xi’s personal friends to get fired and others to get tortured and killed. The western spy angle could have been true for some of them, but is likely a convenient reason to sell the purge to the public.

The illusion of control, even with its misplaced guilt, is easier to process than the chaotic truth that no one is in control. Everyone is making it up as they go and pretending there’s a plan. Even when there is a plan, it invariably falls apart when you attempt to implement it in reality. Too many variables. Too much chaos.

You turn away from the chaos by creating a fictitious order in your head, then blame yourself when reality happens instead of fiction.

Jeff Merkley, progressive 3-term senator who takes common sense positions even when controversial, e.g. calling for a ceasefire in Gaza weeks ago

The US is allied with Taiwan and Vietnam. Pretty sure the US navy is demonstrating that the waters are open to all. China making a claim doesn’t affect actual trade and sea travel.

I think repeated Covid infections have weakened everyone’s respiratory system over the last few years, making us more vulnerable to the usual respiratory infections.

Hurting others is an act of hate. Setting yourself on fire is an act of desperation and hopelessness. It’s disrespectful to suggest otherwise.

A star witness from Wisconsin named Chesebro is proof that this horrific timeline still has a sense of humor.

George is getting upset!

Both companies had teams of handlers that followed him around and kept him from messing with important work. Now that he’s addicted to 24/7 media attention, I doubt the handlers will be able to contain him.

I hope the boards of Tesla and SpaceX are paying attention. Once Xitter goes down in flames, he’ll be looking for the next project to micromanage into bankruptcy.

Kissinger would be the best possible test subject for a prototype tech lich.

They can transfer his undead consciousness into whatever tech abomination is supposed to upload people to immortality. Kissinger’s jet black soul will make the process seamless.
