ITim Walz is the most normal person on a presidential/VP ticket from either party in my lifetime. Normal people don’t rise this high in politics for a reason. He doesn’t seem to have a personality disorder, and probably never makes it this far in a normal election cycle. It’s JARRING.

Imagine Kamala Harris killing off MAGA and the influence of the Clinton Wing of the Democrats in one election. Talk about saving the fucking country

genuinely refreshing to have a Democrat who has realized that focus-testing their way to success isn't the only way to win

Every election the democrat universe fandom tries to turn "people shouldn't routinely suffer," and "we have enough resources for everyone" into some avant garde hipster position to make it seem unserious. These cynical amoral fucks. Both are true and have always been true.

Even with all of the push back, I think we are still greatly *underestimating* the damage that this current "AI" tech is doing. We were actually doing a respectable job of cataloging human knowledge and making it accessible to people. Now we are actively polluting it and making it useless.

Fucking fuck Google to the fucking moon and back. I searched for a Scientific American article and got an AI summary that had an error in almost every single sentence, starting with the date being off by a decade.

Was thinking about the Walz memes and how one of them was "Tim Walz has an extra Springsteen ticket for you" and Beto O'Rourke on my pod yesterday said that Walz did, in fact, give him his extra Springsteen ticket. And in thanks, he gave Walz the remastered box set of The Replacement's "Tim" album.

26 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

Cars driving around in circles filled with nothing and honking at no one. You couldn't write a more heavy handed satire of empty tech ghoulishness if you tried. Well you could but you'd have to try a little hard. www.welcometohellworld.com/what-blood-r...

Dozens of armed agents of the state (getting overtime no doubt) working at the behest of a corporate landlord supervising slaves to ensure that nothing can be had that isn't paid for.

This is such an upsetting story. Americans got a glimpse of basic work life balance and now it’s being ripped away to make sure the landlords who own office buildings don’t feel sad www.google.com/url?q=https:...

Thinking a lot lately about how California needs to cut climate pollution ~7-8% per year from now on, has nothing like the necessary policies in place to do so, and how nearly everyone else is even farther off track. We have so much work to do, you guys.

So Ole and Lena got married in Mankato and started driving up to the Twin Cities. Feeling affectionate, Ole put a hand on Lena's knee. Lena said, "Oh Ole, we're married now, you can go further." So Ole drove all the way to Duluth.

Uh oh Don Jr is on the case of a Minnesota Lutheran being awkward about public displays of affection, sure sounds nefarious
