It’s crazy…

Younger generations might not know the name at first, by his stories are referenced constantly in pop culture.

Ask them about 20k leagues and they know his work.

For being 100-150 years old, that’s pretty good.

That’s a lie.

Good people just have standards, so if there isn’t a ref to keep it fair, they lose to someone willing to do anything with the only goal of personal enrichment.

Loads of good people want power just to help others, they’re just not willing to hurt people to get that power. Someone who doesn’t care what happens to anyone else, will take all the bribes and get the money to run a bigger campaign.

I don’t know about you, but what would be best for us is if people stopped making multiple accounts a day to post the same posts

It’s just fucking weird there’s a constant stream of new accounts that claim to be underage girls and how they need money and don’t know what to do with it.

Even if it wasn’t obvious it was the same person making them all.

Just stick with one account and everyone not dumb enough to fall for it can block you, and you and gullible idiots can do your roleplay.

With the sofets and most gentle kids gloves:

Everything you just said is factually incorrect.

The alternative would be a legal proceeding with judges and release of information.

Please stop spreading misinformation and just ask a question if you’re not sure.

Literally this is the alternative:

Compared to the “attention” chickening out got, you really think that would be less of a circus for the one person running the Army?

I mean, I was making an ICP joke:

But yeah, people freaked the fuck out over “lodestones”.

Some Greek 8,000 years ago found out sometimes a very special rock will always point in one direction if you allow it to spin.

No one had any fucking idea what was happening, but suddenly sailing all over the place exploring wasn’t dangerous. No matter what, you could get back home.

Except there’s insanely rare areas that have magnetic anomlys where it suddenly goes crazy for reasons you have no way to explain.

The man-hours over 8,000 years of various cultures figuring out magnets is probably higher than a lot of “big” discoveries, it took humanity forever to the point we can buy crazy strong temu magnets for $3 just to fuck around.

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist

Stretch and eat fiber.

It’s literally all anyone has to do to stay fit, but almost no one is willing to do it. It’s fucking weird especially as people get older that they don’t do either. Even if it doesn’t add “years of life” it drastically improves the quality of your years.

Which in a lot of ways is even more valuable.

They can make all those takes in civilized places…

Like, if you run into mods you don’t like: block their communities.

You run into heavy handed admins that enforce stupid rules across all their communities, you just block every community on their instance at once instead of one at a time.

This is especially helpful for people who browse /all because those problematic instances tend to be full of people who want to mod 27 different communities and won’t stop making new ones.

It comes off as spam to a lot of people, which is why an instance block is valuable. It just stops people from accidentally going somewhere on the fediverse that they don’t want to fuck with.

A weird “anarchist” instance that bans people if they down vote or say negative things about AI or the blahaj admin for some reason. I think db0 made a blahaj admin a db0 admin or something, there’s a weird cross over.

But it’s what you expect when an “anarchist” names their entire instance their own username.

Blocking an instance blocks the communities, not the users.

So I have .ml instance blocked, no post to a .ml hosted community will ever show up to my feed.

But if an .ml makes a post somewhere else, I see it.

I see their comments, and replies.

I just don’t stumble into a place with authorarian moderation policies.

making an unexpected move into broadcasting after pledging to abandon “side quests” and focus on its core business.

That’s exactly what they’re doing here tho…

The “core business” is hype, because hype is the only reason to use, invest in, or support current AI.

There’s nothing they can do to raise share price more than buying an existing reputable source to make it a propaganda shill.

The author is still operating under the assumption that AI can be made profitable if only they work a little harder. It’s not gonna happen, it’s a fucking boondoggle who only exists to grift investors. Once you’re roped in, you have a financial incentive to perpetuate the grift.

And now TBPN (whatever that is) has a financial incentive to tell people how great AI is

If he had integrity, he wouldn’t step down.

Anyone that stands up to facists by “getting out of the way” is a piece of shit.

Stay and make them waste time effort and money getting rid of you, but all these shitbags care more about their retirements than their country. And the bars so low that idiots applaud them as heroes for self preservation.

Fuck everyone involved in this shitshow.

Especially since so far Iran has largely refrained from that…

Like, they do fuck with terrorists, and our current agencies that prevent terrorists attacks are run by fucking idiots.

It’s honestly surprising we haven’t seen an attack, not just on American soil, but someplace trump actually likes but is hard to protect.

Like, he doesn’t give a fuck if Americans suffer and die, but if they flew a plane into Marlago he’d lose his shit and actually negotiate peace.

I mean, Iran is responding to a war that’s not operating along globally recognized rules of war…

France absolutely should not respond the same.

But they can start ripping up treaties and kicking out US military/government from their country.

Give them the boot and say they’re eager to resume relations with the next president. If the next president is rational.

So do something…

Tell him to fuck off in every aspect of international relations.

All these other countries want to tiptoe around it, but if they make the US face consequences for trump’s actions, it increases the chances of his own party giving him the boot, or at least US voters realize voting R is a bad plan.

Rail was owned by the wealthiest and they made their money shipping freight.

Lobbyists got the US government to “sell” them the actual railways, but they had to maintain it.

So if/when there’s a conflict on the rail, freight gets to go first. They’re giant heavy trains moving insanely slowly, so even tho passenger could get by faster, they sit for hours waiting.

Back to private companies maintaining the rails, they did cost/benefit analysis and decided since they pay insurance anyways, it’s not smart to fix anything till insurance rates go up.

The problem is when a wreck happens there’s public outcry, so the government uses taxpayer funds to fix it quickly.

They wait till an accident happens, insurances pays for just the cargo, and that’s insured by the supper so the train insurance never goes up. Taxpayers pay to clean up the wreck and put in new tracks.

With the current system, the wrecks will keep happening more and more frequently because stuff only gets fixed after it fails, and only that one spot.

But the Dow is still over 50000!

Todd Blanche:

In his personal capacity, he represented several figures associated with president Donald Trump and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, including Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort; the businessman Igor Fruman; and the attorney Boris Epshteyn.

In April 2023, prior to his arraignment, Trump hired Blanche to defend him in the District Attorney’s Office of New York County’s prosecution of the former president over concealed hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels. Blanche later defended him in the federal classified documents and election obstruction cases. He led Trump’s defense in his criminal trial.

In November 2024, following his victory in the 2024 presidential election, Trump named Blanche as his nominee for deputy attorney general. He was confirmed by the Senate in March 2025.

Literally just hiring his own lawyers, decades after any competent lawyer stopped working for him…

Give em a bill and charge interest every year.

If they don’t pay, most of the global economy still runs thru NYC, if we sanction their leaders and oligarchs instead of random ass “settlers” who don’t even have a bank account, we could apply real pressure for their government to pay.
