  1. YOU ATTACKED THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY SIXTH! TRAITORRRR!!! TRAITOOOOOORRRRR!!!!
  2. I fear this is likely correct. Hard to believe some of y’all still haven’t figured out that there are no red lines for this cult. Trump’s supporters have been following him out to sea for a decade now, excusing every transgression and whip-sawing on their own cherished principles over and over again in the process. They’re hopelessly far from solid ground now. The only fixed point in their ocean of moral chaos is Trump. For them, good and evil are defined at every moment only by his whim. Because there is literally nothing left to grab hold of. The Bible? Pshaw. They’ve rewritten that shit in their heads 10 times over at this point. The Constitution? Don’t get me started on MAGA’s devotion to the contextual opportunist approach to interpreting that once-sacred document. Cherished 20th Century American values? Nope. These fuckers learned history through an incoherent patchwork of utopian tall tales fed to them by conmen. Trump is their only moral compass.
  3. Don’t talk about them stupid video games, or, or novels… comic books or any of that fucking crap. I see enough of that shit.
  4. Obstruction? WTF is this sport?
  5. Our defense is comedic.
  6. I finally finished Andor earlier this week. It’s the best Star Wars content since 1981, by far. And unlike pretty much all Star Wars media since the original trilogy, it enhances rather than undermines the original story and characters. Just a phenomenal series that added well-crafted depth and weight to the lighthearted hero adventure of the OT. The only downside is that this will get my hopes up and I’ll probably end up enduring several new shittastic movies or series that suck as bad as Obi-Wan and the sequels. Andor -> Rogue One -> Original trilogy tells an interesting story. The rest is lame fan fiction and I assume it never happened. Canon is subjective. We don’t have to accept a bunch of hacky horseshit just because Lucas or Disney rubber stamped it.
  7. CR Poster #1: *posts satirical content* CR Poster #2: “Is that real? If so, holy shit.” CR Poster #3: “Not real. But pretty funny.” CR Poster #2: “Ah. I figured it was too crazy to be real. Still hilarious.” CR Poster #1: “Yeah, sorry. It’s satire. Thought that was clear.” Anastasis: “Haha! Y’all completely fell for mainstream media propaganda! You naive idiots will believe anything!”
  8. I’m sure there are plenty of places that will take a $17 bet.
  9. Now way Trump came up with “Washington ComPost” himself. That’s like 5th grade level clever. Trump’s insult powers peaked out at remedial kindergarten.
  10. Damn. She’s Rick Ankieling.
  11. Maybe she means Trump is not one of these:
  12. BA-NA-NA! BA-NA-NA-uh! BA-NA-NA! BA-NA-NA-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh!
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Remind me: what happened to that blonde chick who did precisely that over in Tarrytown a few years back?
  18. It’s a relief to hear that there weren’t any of those lib perverts present.
