this has always been the meat of the Alito stories. not just that there’s a “scandal” in the traditional sense, but that he is legitimately a moron

Dude is talking exactly and I mean EXACTLY like every blue check toad yelling about "Soros"-funded shit. This is absolutely batshit insane coming from a motherfucker who's decisions literally affect the lives of every person in this country.

lmao Google's AI is eating itself already -- telling you how much glue to put on pizza, citing a @katienotopoulos.bsky.social Business Insider article about Google's AI telling people to put glue on pizza

sound like wrong 'uns to me. a bad lot i shouldn't wonder

hmm. rather not

guess they promised not to put his wife in jail after all

I like the out of nowhere swipe at wyndham lewis in this NYT review of The Unnameable by stephen spender

seems like the obvious answer here then is that they should all, at all times, say "i am not capable of judging my own accuracy" www.newscientist.com/article/2429...

what annoys me most about them is that 75% of the ones I get are obvious lies. not that I read them but I involuntarily skim the subject lines and most of them are "your membership in something you never joined or even heard of is about to lapse unless you act NOW" or the like

been wondering if this would happen. the coercive donation-extraction techniques are annoying as hell www.notus.org/2024-electio...

How a Drop in Small-Dollar Donations Is Shaking Up Both Partieswww.notus.org “We have squeezed every last penny in a period of time when the pennies are harder to come by,” a GOP digital strategist said.

my basic mental model of the court divides them into the three liberals; then you've got alito and thomas who i would absolutely believe will vote for any proposed piece of right wing hackery at all, no limitations, no doubt, even and especially the things that sound like or are meant as jokes

If you define the lifelong ideologue who devoted his career to destroying the Voting Rights Act as a hair right of center, then the Supreme Court is a surprisingly centrist institution

and the technology is still young, imagine the day when you can be in six meetings at once, or ten

"unfiltered" is a great euphemism

If you ever feel like you have too much contempt for the DC opinion class please remember that it can never match their contempt for you www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

the punitive damages are meant to do this. that's what they're for. what happened here is that a jury of his peers decided it was right to impose an additional penalty that would make him cry, and a judge calculated the sum necessary to do that

Lmao Alex Jones is crying on his show right now because he has to sell his ranch to pay off his legal bills because his lawyer accidentally emailed all his texts to the plaintiffs attorney

I think about this all the time. Let’s give a big thank you to “the disgraceful state of analytic art criticism!”

Quicksand gags aren't funny. i actually know a guy sinking in quicksand

the funny errors were the only good thing about it

Google appears to have rolled back its new AI Overviews — a generative AI feature — after the technology produced a litany of untruths and errors, including recommending glue as part of a pizza recipe and suggesting that people ingest rocks for nutrients.

Google Rolls Back A.I. Search Feature After Flubs and Flawswww.nytimes.com Google appears to have turned off its new A.I. Overviews for a number of searches as it works to minimize errors.

A psychiatrist could make a career out of books about these peoples' fantasy version of Trump compared to the half-asleep, incoherent, ancient sack of fluid he actually is. It's pathetic but more importantly it's also extremely weird and alarming.

doing the clockwork orange forced viewing behavior modification scene to every single democratic staffer and consultant and the screen just keeps flashing “appearing savvy to political reporters is not an important goal and does not help you win elections”

a physician who says the law does not allow abortion under those circumstances may well be wrong in their legal assessment, but a physician who says there is an unacceptable risk that a prosecutor and jury would not agree with their judgment that those circumstances exist is almost certainly right

This is pretty straightforward - you either believe the physicians and women who have been damaged by the law, or a partisan court who says there is no risk, and that everyone who says so is being irrational here.

My understanding is (and my guess is that this is what the third note was really about) is that some of the checks were signed directly by Trump and those were tied to 24 of the counts and 10 of the counts were tied to checks that Trump didn’t sign.

people keep saying this "all 34 counts" thing but was it ever really logically possible to convict him on some but not all of the counts. aren't they all the same misrepresentation on different documents

Would not have expected this well-reasoned rant from the smug, front-running sports shouter Colin Cowherd but right is right.

in another couple of years it will just be understood that right wingers fly the flag upside down all the time, that that's just the right wing flag now

will no one rid me of this troublesome pervert

head of six companies, including a major U.S. military communications contractor and a company that puts wires in paraplegics' brains, wants you to know that he considers filing fraudulent business records to be a trivial matter

i agree but it's very funny that this needs to be said www.politico.com/news/magazin...
