Trump wanted to attack “Right frik’n now”, but told that the military needs at least 2 weeks to prepare.

The surprising thing to me, if this is the first time in history, is that this means they invited him every year of his first term.

Netanyahu’s government faced a vote of no confidence. A day later, his planes were in the air bombing Iran.

Well, with the straight of Hormuz closed, we can blame sky high food prices on that instead of us getting rid of all the farm workers.

What do you think the word “communist” meant before Marx?

Gunman identified when he showed his drivers license to a McDonald’s cashier, a completely normal and everyday occurrence that happens all the time to poor people and no we aren’t making this up, why do you ask?

This will cause gas prices to increase, which is exactly what Russia wants. Of course, with both Russian and Iranian gas production under attack, I wonder which group that recently increased production will benefit? Well, for a while, until mines start appearing in the straight of Hormuz.

Random vote of no confidence motion against Bibi is domino-ing into a global energy crisis.

Ban hemp! Ban homeless! Let MY cops harass and kill protestors, not the military!

Is this what democrats are reduced to these days?

What if everyone that goes to a "No Kings Day’ protest did one thing BESIDES protesting. Pledge to NPR. Switch to a credit union. Boycott one company you were going to buy from anyways that supported Trump. Go on to your states sos site and sign nominating petitions for 2026 and give $5 clean election funds. Attend one political meeting. Something!

Just going out and holding a sign with a catchy slogan makes YOU feel good, but doesn’t really do anything else. And long gone are the days where any of the elected republicans would worry about what non-republican primary voters in their district think.

We will (still) allow children’s cartoon characters to be mutilated and put into explicit situations and then push them as child friendly, but how dare you use a swear in the first 15 seconds of a video or say the work kill.

Where would he find all the military people at such short notice to … ohhhhhhhh.

“Willful childlessness?” Is that like the opposite of incel? Volcel?

To me, it is the loss of meaningful work.

Alot of people have complained “why take arts and coders jobs - make AI take the drudgery filled work first and leave us the art and writing!” The problem is: automation already came for those jobs. In 90% of jobs today, the job CAN be automated with no AI needed. It just costs more to automate it then to pay a minimum wage worker. Than means anyone who works those jobs isn’t ACTUALLY doing those jobs. They are instead saving their employer the difference between their pay and the amount needed to automate it.

Before genAI came, there were a few jobs that couldn’t be automated. Those people thought that they not only have job security, but they were the only people actually producing things worth value. They were the ones that weren’t just saving a boss a buck. Then genAI came. Why write a book, code a program, or paint a painting if some program can do the same? Oh, it is better? More authentic? It is surprising how much of the population doesn’t care. And AI is getting better - poisoned training and loss of their users critical thinking skills not withstanding.

Soon, the only thing proud a worker can be about their work is how much they saved their employers money; and for most people that isn’t meaning enough. Somethings got to change.

Depends on who programed the AI - and no, it is not Kyoto

Do they still sell those novelty toy mics that broadcast and speakers pick it up?

I’m not telling you what to do with that, but there are many options.

Probably there is a lower ceiling in text generation to things that are considered “progress” by everyone. People can verbalize exactly what is wrong with pictures and video, but for text, if it is coherent and gets the point across what is progress beyond passing the Turing test?

Is this the same town where they elected a black mayor and the former mayor didn’t recognize the election, so they barred him from entering town hall or looking at any of the finances? Something about a secret meeting that canceled the election that no one knew about so somehow the town wound up with two dueling city councils?
