I have an “email job” at a computer ALL DAY and not one part of my workday involves AI. Unless you count scrolling past the AI results in google to find the correct answer/website/result, or ploughing through AI phone trees when I call companies to get to a human
Charlie StrossMy answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
I have a bug in my ass about the way in which WNBA commentators talk about trans people in sports because they are failing the Kirby test. The point is not that there are no trans women athletes in the W, nor that trans women do not have a competitive advantage when looking at the data.
This is such an great feature (Rebecca is great!), and I've been thinking about it for a few days. IMO, "Influencer" in the ten-years-ago sense was really a LOT of jobs (spokesmodel/copywriter/etc.) but now it's morphing, at least in part, into "intentionally annoying person" which feels worse.
The Influencer RecessionOnce upon a time, lifestyle influencers could post cute photos and make millions. Now they are forced to pivot.www.vulture.com
“It’s not a different opinion. It’s straight up bigotry and discrimination that we wouldn’t accept or hand wave away if it were targeted towards any other group.”
Frankie de la CretazThis is rough but I think it talks about a lot of what is missing from the Cunningham/WNBA discourse. Namely, that trans people are not hypothetical thought experiments. They are real people who are being genocided by our government & any coverage that doesn't center that reality misses the mark.

It's so fucking hard to be a capitalist billionaire these days
The Wall Street JournalNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Abdul El-Sayed has won, NBC News says. And there are other wins for the left in Michigan: —William Lawrence wins his U.S. House primary. —A DSA-backed candidate is leading a Democratic incumbent for state House. —Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of Uncommitted, leads for state Senate.
at what point is there soul searching about how throwing dozens of millions and racist smears around is not working out for democrats the way it has for republicans
In my view, saying ignorant & bigoted bullshit isn't "speaking out". It's vile behavior. These athletes are facing the consequences of their actions. To say otherwise is like saying a racist family member is being "censored" because he's not allowed to say the N word at thanksgiving anymore
The AthleticAaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D
Chipotle isolated a single source of Jalapeno peppers contaminated with Salmonella. They figured it out. RFK Jr. can’t
I think winning a race where you get outspent by like a factor of 10 is a pretty solid outcome all things considered, if you wanted a landslide, I dunno which race you were watching
PoliticoProgressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted
one of the things that gives me optimism about the US in a way I never had for India was how insulated electoral systems are from the central govt

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
thinking about people who used to say it only helps the other party to criticize a democrat. mfs gave that up soon as they stopped getting their way. now it's "[possibly generationally savvy public servant] is unraveling the fiber of democracy" every fucken week. i thought now wasn't the time lol

NEWS: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) just dropped out of his re-election race at 3:32 a.m.m. He said he’s done running but will finish out his term. This after the House Ethics Committee found “substantial reason to believe [he] violated House Rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces.”
A lot of white Americans seem to think that all Muslims are responsible for 9/11, and really, that every non-white group is responsible for anything bad anyone from that group has ever done
Don't let anyone gaslight you. Tonight was a HUGE win and represents a seismic shift in Democratic politics.
