you see your pets twitching their little limbs in their sleep and say to your partner "look, it is running through a field in its sleep", you are wrong: your pet is in a casino: throwing dice, playing slots and video poker, walking on two legs and betting large on a blackjack table

Seriously SERIOUSLY all we were allowed was a whiff of Geena Davis before they took her down. The occasional hint of Jamie Lee Curtis. I weep for what could have been. Imagine a Die Hard where Bonnie Bedelia saves Bruce WIllis's executive ass.
Melanie Griffiths should have been an action hero.

SOMETIMES IT’S BETTER TO TAKE YOUR TIME ON A JOB, GO THE SCENIC ROUTE, AVOID TOLLS, THAT SORT OF THING. *SQUEAK* YES, I’M SURE HE WILL LET YOU HAVE SOME PEANUTS

Again, Black people are an exception here, as basically anyone who stayed in the Jim Crow South has a living memory of living under what amounted to fascism, including the “always walking on eggshells/lack of social trust/long periods of boring endurance/randomized terrifying violence”
Pretty much. What it mostly boils down to is that most Americans really don’t have the faintest idea what living under modern authoritarian regimes actually looks like, and how it’s often at the same time way more boring and way more scary than they’d imagined.

I’m never going to say that voting is the path to our liberation. But if we don’t want to sacrifice a tremendous amount of Black, brown, Indigenous, queer, trans, and poor people, we HAVE to have both inside AND outside strategies. The system is fucked up. But we cannot concede it.

So apparently some accounts forgot to pay their chatgpt bill But the prompt makes it seem laughably trivial to detect such accounts and yet xitter and altman happily take the money instead

I wish Stephen King had written the screenplay for Cocaine Bear. King: Ok, bear finds a bunch of cocaine in the woods and eats it. He then finds a typewriter and cranks out 15,000 words a day. Producer: That doesn’t seem plausible. King: I’ve tested this and this is exactly how cocaine works.

Recently watched a guy in a beat up Toyota work his way across 4 slow lanes of busy SF Bay Area traffic by targeting Teslas. Best guess was that he was triggering the front automatic collision detection and wedging in front of them. Every single Tesla slammed on the brakes to open a gap…

Muppet Star Trek needs to be a real. I like the idea of Fozzy making terrible first officer jokes, Doctor Piggy being incredibly inappropriate with Captain Kermit, Animal going hog wild on some Ferengi, "Um I'm sensing hostility" in Janice's voice, Gonzo nonstop screaming when they are at warp speed

part of the reason that i roll my eyes and make the jerkoff motion every time altman or musk or any other techno dipshit waxes about how AI could destroy the world is because if altman believed that, this is *absolutely not* the way any professional who knows what they’re doing would solve it.
sam altman: we need eleventy zillion dollars to build the future of AI, which will impact all of our lives and could go disastrously wrong if we don’t get what we need also sam altman: we have no corporate governance to speak of and are managed like a car dealership
OpenAI has a new safety team — it’s run by Sam Altmanwww.theverge.com Several key OpenAI researchers have resigned over safety concerns.

God: When the humans are alone, they should be able to hear music in their heads sometimes. Angel: That's a lovely idea. God: And it should be a 8 second loop of a song they don't really like and can't exactly remember the lyrics to. Angel: ... God: There's no way to make it stop.

NORTHERN LIGHTS: Take my picture! Please! I don't look great now but the photos will be spectacular, bursts of green and pink! Take as many photos as you can! THE MOON: Do not take my photo, if you little apes dare to photograph me I will be so tiny, I swear to god I will make myself so goddamn tiny
