  1. Damn. She’s Rick Ankieling.
  2. Maybe she means Trump is not one of these:
  3. BA-NA-NA! BA-NA-NA-uh! BA-NA-NA! BA-NA-NA-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh!
  4. The Texas Dems need to stop fucking around and start instructing their members to vote in the Republican primaries, for specific candidates. We aren’t going to win statewide elections any time in the near future. The best thing the party can do to help their constituents in the near term is push the few remaining non-fascist Republican candidates through to the general.
  5. One of the ironies of the LLM type generative AI is it sucks at calculating. It’s just not built to crunch numbers, even though it runs on the most powerful calculators ever built. LLMs are really good at predicting the appropriate next syntax element. Which is why it’s great at writing paragraphs that read like a human wrote them. It generates the right form of content. But it’s not necessarily great at generating accurate content because it’s designed to give you want you want rather than what’s objectively correct.
  6. I gave my oldest this advice. Don’t do CS. Study CE or EE instead. As of a couple years ago, a lot of really smart kids with otherwise savvy parents were still flocking to CS programs. And typically, they’re paying full freight to go to a less prestigious school than they could have attended had they chosen a less competitive major. All to learn a skill that AI can already do better, cheaper, and faster. CS is probably the current most competitive major from an admissions standpoint. The GPAs and SAT scores required to get into a decent program are astounding. In the coming years, many of our best and brightest young minds will graduate with a boatload of debt and very few job prospects. This AI shit really snuck up on us.
  7. If the bar for banning something is “It could make a 20-something kid do something stupid that gets them killed,” then we also need legislation banning alcohol, driving, pussy, and just generally being a 20-something kid.
  8. Remind me: what happened to that blonde chick who did precisely that over in Tarrytown a few years back?
  9. It’s a relief to hear that there weren’t any of those lib perverts present.
  10. Another liberal Democrat LGBTQ luciferian sex creep, amirite?
  11. Trickle-down economics is the most obvious lie ever told. ”Hey working class people. I know you want a fair share of the American prosperity you’ve created. Now, we could just hand that to you directly. But wouldn’t it be better for you if, instead, we handed that money over to rich people and then counted on their undeniable devotion to fairness to somehow distribute this money equitably?”
  12. Too stupid, too ignorant, too distracted by shiny objects and bullshit. A couple months ago, I visited some family in the rust belt. They live in a once-thriving town that has been on the decline since the 70s. It’s full of abandoned factories, boarded-up storefronts, and decaying once-stately homes. And slot machines. Everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Every bar has slots. The corner convenience store with bars on the window has slots. The national gas station chain has slots. The neighborhood grocer has slots. The car wash has slots. The BBQ joint has slots. The fast food fried chicken place has slots. The lingerie and dildo store has slots. And if you don’t want your degenerate gambling to be distracted by a car wash, fried chicken, or panties, not to worry: there are plenty of gaming parlors that offer nothing but slots, slots, slots. As the kids would say: we’re cooked. This board is an anomaly. Your social circle is the exception. Most of America is full of uneducated dipshits who couldn’t give two shits about democracy or rights or equality. All they want is to eat ultraprocessed empty calories and feed their dopamine habit by jamming what little money they have into a noisy, blinky theft machine. The Idiocracy is upon us.
  13. If history is any indication, they will do a sudden about-face. And then 24 hours later, they’ll do another sudden about-face. And then 24 hours later, they’ll do another sudden about-face. And then 24 hours later…
  14. Yup. My dad, until recently a lifelong Republican loyalist, admitted that Trump helped him see “the ugliness” of his own politics.
  15. Yep. Which is great news because your options will be either (a) not sleeping or (b) shitty prescription drugs, both of which lead to individual and public health risks as well as declining productivity. All because a drug that works pretty well as a sleep aid with fewer downsides is also fun. And Texans may not have any fun unless it leads directly to conception.
  16. Oh NOW Rex Kramer comes to their defense. But back in the 80s…
  17. And to be clear: this was a despicable act, just as any politically motivated violence is. But… good lord. Try having moral principles instead of selectively whining only when the victims come from your preferred race, ethnicity, religion, etc.
  18. Shouldn’t y’all be in the driver’s seat of your leased F150, recording an inane selfie video about white genocide?
  19. Texas: “Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.”
  20. Doubling the prison term for possession is insane. Over the past few decades, the reasonable world has realized that incarceration for simple drug possession is a massive injustice and detriment to society. Of course our idiot state government doubles down on one of the stupidest policy mistakes of the modern era.
  21. Once they bought crypto, their money had already been stolen.
  22. Trump’s Truth account has clearly been hacked by @dril.
