Member that time when Microsoft got dragged in federal court for ten years before they eventually decided Microsoft was a monopoly for forcing their browser on everyone and then sweet fuck all happened to them for it?

Well the judiciary sure has changed - now they’re way more computer savvy and they . . . checks earpice . . . I’m sorry, that should be: they’re just as fucking clueless as they were thirty years ago if not even more so. We’re screwed, goodnight.

[Dionne] Warwick was the first to respond on X, denying she was going and calling the PAC’s announcement “absolutely ridiculous.”

Soon afterward, Martin Sheen, who played the president on the TV series “The West Wing,” took to Instagram.

“I do not endorse RFK Jr. nor will I be attending his party,” Sheen said. He added that he’s “whole heartedly supporting Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket in 2024.”

Cripes so they just said a bunch of people who definitely weren’t coming were coming and now that they’re not we’re taking our ball and going home? Classy.

We’re in the golden era of batshit incompetent fascism.

Could be worse.

Cardinal Scum: Lord Google! Our Premium service is only making 8.5 Billion net profit per year, a miserable increase of 25% from last year!

Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!

Cardinal Scum: Yes Lord Google! Brilliant!

Lord Google: Muwahhahahahahah!!!

Cardinal Scum: (hesitantly) Heh heh . . hee heee heeh hehehehh yesssss . . yes

Absolutely the most hated. The marketing chuds are gaslighting by claiming to be less hated. Nah, nah brah. Seriously the most hated. By FAR.

Yesssssss!

You get maybe, in a 2 hour movie . . . 20 minutes maximum. Not 100 minutes.

Actually - don’t. Just let it grow, man. srs.

“Silence woman! Your god commands it!”

I mean - it’s so perfect and horrible, it seems to be the only proper response.

The new Macedonian troll farm talking point. Democrats scuttled Roe.

Because of the electoral college. That forces a two-party system. Which is why we’re in this terrible situation.

It also does nothing to stop a progressive from running as a democrat.

Stunt candidates like Jill Stein are grifters who do not give a single solitary fuck about the state of the world, and anyone considering a candidate like that is also extremely unlikely to run themselves.

I have friends who voted for Nader. They thought they were making a statement too. Then we got into Iraq II and they were very upset by it. We also got John “fuck voting righs” Roberts and Samuel “bitches be hoes” Alito out of the deal. Don’t be stupid.

Watching a bunch of tiktok gronks give their brilliant hot takes on how they don’t have to vote for Biden is like watching a drunken fratboy who’s holding everyone’s phones dancing on a cliff rim because someone told them not to. Stupid fuck. It doesn’t work like that.

It’s a longshot, but I’ll talk to the timelords. I mean - stupider things have happened.

Man web search is getting really bad. I can’t find where that happened and normally it would be pretty easy. Was that a Bush II-era thing or was that a Trump thing?

If you’re on Xitter, I don’t know what to tell you. Except, get off.

Has no one made the standard “how to move to Mastodon and take all your twitter followers with you” yet? If they have I havent’ seen it, but that’s the missing link here.

Look can we just bust him for tax fraud now and save everyone a lot of unecessary grief?

Fuckin’ eerie.

“That’s not writing, that’s just typing!”

It’s the same situation, just writ large. Dumb human decisions to put AI where it shouldn’t be. Heck, you can put it in charge of the nuclear missles now if you want to. Don’t. Though. That’d be really, really stupid.

Part of my knee-jerk dislike of the AI hype is that it’s glorified text completion. It doesn’t know shit. It only knows the % chance of your saying the next word. AGI is not happening anytime soon and all this is techbro theatre for the sake of money.

Anyone who reads a wall of bland generated text and thinks we’re about to talk to god is seriously mistaken.
