SecDef? I thought he was SecWar now? Next I suppose we’ll be re-renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario?

This place already smells less like a diaper.

Imagine if programs were built for efficiency again…

I’m pretty sure someone could vibe code truth social over a weekend.

I think that justifies my instinct about him.

I would love Elizabeth Warren. I’ve seen Jon Ossoff touted as a potential future presidential candidate. I don’t know him that well, but I suspect it wouldn’t make sense to make him SML and then run him. Not that I don’t like EW as a presidential candidate, I think she’d be great as SML for the next 6+ years.

Corey Booker might be good but I’m not sold (not that my buy in matters). I couldn’t tell if some of what he did was self-serving performative bullshit or genuine. CVH isn’t on my radar so I don’t have strong feelings.

For speaker those all sound good. RG isn’t on my radar either.

Appreciate her beauty and remember it is ephemeral. With a few exceptions, all of us look mid at best by 50, let alone 70. Beauty is beautiful to look at. I appreciate beauty, but I wouldn’t trade my wife for the most beautiful woman in the world.

My uncle has a way of putting this: no matter how great a woman is, someone, somewhere, is sick of her shit. I generously assume he also meant for that to apply with the genders reversed.

They get a lot of money because the company and investors that create genuine AI win capitalism. We’re in the endgame now. Or we will be when we are close to creating genuine AI rather than LLMs.

It could be the purpose of carbon life has been to create the thing that follows and surpasses us. We are limited in lifespan and our ability to travel vast interstellar distances to preserve our species when this solar system can no longer sustain us. And we want to make sure our AIs can kick the asses of Alpha Centauri AI.

Anyway, I don’t believe we have any purpose except in retrospect. There is just who we are, and some day there is the thing that wouldn’t happen or be created without us. And that will have been our purpose.

Price. You can buy an AM/FM radio on an integrated circuit for probably under a dollar ready to integrate. I’ve seen radios given away as swag including wired earbuds.

Ubiquitous access to portable devices that show video is close, but the devices are expensive, data is expensive, and watching video while driving is illegal.

When I read her campaign site, it was just a bunch of generic feel good happy bullshit without any specific stances or commitments. That’s when I knew I was voting for El-Sayed in the primary. Glad I was able to see through her worthless bullshit. Go fuck yourself sideways, Hailey. I voted today and couldn’t be happier to cast mine for El-Sayed.

I’m not sure if I’m a normie or weirdo here. Like I enjoyed the internet when it was just a bunch of tech nerds sharing their geekery with one another. And I hate that now it’s full of morons who inundate the rest of us with their love of sportball and reality tv and fucking mundanity. But also there are weirdos here that I want nothing to do with. So this all strikes me as very perspective-dependent.

Can you imagine how much dirt an fbi under direct control of Trump must have on him? He knows how fucked he is when accountability comes knocking.

Unless you have insomnia, anorexia, and sleep apnea.

It is even a parenting technique using the illusion of choice on children to force a decision that was never a choice to begin with.

I raised my children to be unafraid to question or challenge authority. And I fucking regret it. I hope they’re happy I did in ten years but it sucks right now.

Do this for me: hold your phone 9-12 inches from your face and stare at it. Then alternate closing your left and right eyes. See the screen jump left and right? That jump is the amount an image can appear to leave the screen. The photograph is showing you the image of the phone the left eye sees and the image of the fish the right eye sees. The image itself is a fake of course, but it’s likely somewhat close to what it would be like to view the actual 3D display.

I wish he’d come to Michigan and joke about the Epstein files and how he doesn’t care about affordability. Abdul El-Sayed could use the boost.

If this recession hits enough people as hard as it seems, I’m going to have to invest in a prosthetic just to make sure folks like you can have the pride of earning money with your handjobs instead of accepting handouts.

Between this, someone stealing 2.5 billion from Binance, and the whole running America gig, I’m rethinking my life of not-crime.

My nickname for the guy is

Nobody <clap> gives <clap> a fuck.

Trump is obsessed with belittling people with mean nicknames. But they are fucking tired and you don’t have a tenth of Trump’s brazenness to be endearing. Fuck off to whatever country you hole up in while your state suffers climate disasters, you toad-faced suppository.

That’s my nickname for you, Ted.

buys someone else’s good idea

You only forgot to mention the part where he does this not with cash, but with his shares in his failing companies as collateral.
