“I don’t care what the patient said before he went under. They say all kinds of loopy things. The chart clearly says to amputate the right leg. Hand me the bone saw.”

Can you imagine how weird the porn on JD Vance’s phone is? I almost feel sorry for the hackers.

stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is

That’s my new pet peeve. The thing is I don’t remember seeing people do this in the past and certainly not frequently, but now I see it all the time. Mind-boggling selfishness. I think Covid rotted everyone’s brains way more than we realize.

No wonder Trump killed the bipartisan immigration reform bill. I didn’t realize the anti-immigrant sentiment had gotten to this level in so much of the population. It’s frankly horrifying.

In the decision, U.S. District Judge Anna Manasco, who was nominated by former President Donald Trump in 2020, ruled that the state violated the National Voter Registration Act’s “quiet period” provision and ordered Allen to pause the voter removal program through the election.

All this bullshit vote-rigging nonsense passed in state legislatures needs to be thrown out. At least in time for this election.

What they are doing is blatant and illegal, and there is a mechanism to stop it.

I’m thinking that’s a combination of a lost bet and some cleverness.

The tested LLMs fared much worse, though, when the Apple researchers modified the GSM-Symbolic benchmark by adding “seemingly relevant but ultimately inconsequential statements” to the questions

Good thing they’re being trained on random posts and comments on the internet, which are known for being succinct and accurate.

Insurance companies save money by denying claims on a normal day. Paying to rebuild an entire state would jeopardize the big number going up and thus executive bonuses.

They won’t be paying claims. They’re not going to pay to rebuild a house that their models say will be knocked down again in 2-3 years by the next “storm of the century.” Insurance companies exist to extract wealth, not to help people. And they will always have more lawyers than you.

Yes, because closely-scrutinized disaster responses that are having to be done in multiple states for multiple storms are such a huge winner for the incumbent party. This is one of those conspiracies that is not only stupid on its face, but it doesn’t make any sense at all even if it was true. It’s a failure of critical thinking on so many levels.

Just because someone is an idiot doesn’t mean they don’t stumble into a good scheme from time-to-time.

People in swing states create fake voter accounts en masse for the reward. Those fake voters all try to vote for Trump.

The game is to destabilize everything enough that a court case advances to the Supreme Court so that they can steal the election. Thousands upon thousands of fake voters helps them tremendously.

Local people should own their own water. It shouldn’t be centralized in a for-profit company.

I have also texted with a guy that claims to be one of the 4 founders of coincorner, Phil Collins

I can feel it conning in the air tonight… Oh Lord

There’s an alternate timeline where the non-profit side of the company won, Altman the Conman was booted and exposed, and OpenAI kept developing machine learning in a way that actually benefits actual use cases.

Cancer screenings approved by a doctor could be accurate enough to save so many lives and so much suffering through early detection.

Instead, Altman turned a promising technology into a meme stock with a product released too early to ever fix properly.

No worries, Floridians. Desantis has a plan to oppress gay people even harder, which will make the hurricanes stop.

Someone tried to kill Trump at a rally. He still does rallies. Someone tried to kill Trump on a golf course. He still golfs.

Trump would rather be shot at again than have to face Harris on the debate stage. You quickly find out that bullies are actually cowards once you see someone stand up to them and punch them in the face.

But the US system ranks first in wealth extraction from people to billionaires, so it’s working as intended.

He also controls the satellites used for communication on battlefields and has already turned them off unilaterally during an important Ukrainian operation in the Black Sea.

He can run Twitter and Tesla into the ground, but SpaceX needs to be nationalized. Its compromise is a national security threat.

Here we fucking go. We’re about to find out how far down that rabbit hole goes.

The right wingers get almost everything wrong, but I 100% believe that the 1% in America are into all kinds of fucked up shit. The rule of law has failed, and their money and power has insulated them from consequences.

This story covers that quote specifically.

Here’s more from a former classmate.

Resigning requires feeling shame for your actions. Vance has absolutely no shame.

Keep in mind that his private communications have leaked. He talked about what a monster Trump is for making immigrants feel unwelcome and unsafe.

Vance is not like Trump. Trump was raised to be a monster and not intelligent enough to question anything. Vance, OTOH, is smart enough to know better. He chose to be this person. He willingly, voluntarily sold his soul to the MAGA devil. That’s why looking at him and listening to him makes people’s skin crawl. There was a person in there once who was forcibly evicted in favor of a monster.
