“I’ll be one of the smart ones who uses AI to enhance my capabilities and replace coworkers, rather than be replaced by it” is the delusional twin of “I won’t be one of the victims of fascism.”
The hubris and greed of fools is going to fuck us all. In the end, the talking apes will prove to have been nothing more than a suicidal flash-in-the-pan.
Damn. This one stings. Ozzy is synonymous with metal. Kind of the mascot for the whole genre, really. Which makes sense because he fronted the band that invented heavy metal as we came to know it.
His early solo stuff is great, Sabbath is iconic, and even the early stuff as Earth is a jam:
RIP.
The fact that the ref fucked up at other times doesn’t mean it would be right for her to fuck up yet again.
Italy gets away with sooooo much absolute bullshit on the pitch. No way I’m crying for them when they lose because the ref finally penalizes them for cheating.
This is some Grade A Weird-Ass White Knighting.
How do you not understand that this is a justifiable case of FAFO?
First, he’s a rich CEO in an increasingly exploitative capitalist system. Everyone enjoys seeing the privileged elite fall on their faces.
Second, she’s an HR executive. She should know better than to date her boss. Everyone loves exposing a hypocrite.
Third, they’re cheating on at least one spouse. In full public view. That’s on them. Nobody forced him to grope his mistress in public.
MAGA: I just pray to God that one day we’ll find these pedophiles and bring them to justice.
Law Enforcement: Here’s one. He was marching next to you on January 6. Here’s another. He’s a local GOP party leader. Oh, and we found another one. He’s the youth minister at your church.
MAGA: I just pray to God that one day we’ll find these pedophiles and bring them to justice.
Even my most cynical family and friends don’t seem to grasp this possibility. They’re all still talking about how the midterms or 2028 will be a bloodbath for the GOP. And I’m like “Have y’all never seen how authoritarian dictators operate?”
Normalcy bias is a helluva drug.
It’s all pretext. All of it. MAGA treats politics as a team sport. Or, more aptly: pro wrestling. There is no logic. There is no moral code. There is no policy. It’s all just “I picked the weird orange guy and I will root for him no matter what.”
So when the Blue Donkey gouges eyes, it’s a horrible crime and grounds for immediate disqualification. But when Cheeto Benito does the same thing and also smacks his opponent with a steel chair when the ref is distracted? Totally justifiable. It’s not really against the rules, and I’m not sure that there even are any rules. Has anyone ever actually seen a WWE rule book? Does that even exist? If it does, there’s probably an immunity clause for the defending champion. And OH MY GOD THE BLUE DONKEY JUST USED POCKET SAND—WON’T ANYONE HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DISGUSTING VIOLATION OF THE RULES AND COMMON CIVILITY?!?!?
The more interesting debate is whether UT is elite now. It might seem obvious given how difficult admission has gotten. But that’s driven entirely by Texas’s hyper focus on one flawed metric. On other academic measures, the Texas student body is pretty unimpressive.
According to this site, UT ranks #133 in the US in terms of median SAT score of enrolled students.
Considering the ranking appears not to include test-blind schools (which would include some of the most prestigious public universities in the country: eg UC Berkeley, UCLA), that ranking is pretty eye-opening.
