Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

The US Secret Service was nearly overcome in the worst possible way by a dipshit who was too bad a shot to make it in a high school rifle club.

Look, you can’t expect the cop to risk his life to confront the shooter, it’s not like the shooter is an unarmed black man with his back turned

of COURSE

8th Cir. declines to review a denial of QI for officer who claimed he had to shoot a suicidal man because he was pointing a gun at officers *through his own head*. No QI (at this point). media.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/24/07...

this may be my favorite interview I've ever given, it felt like it went by in 5 minutes. This might also be because I was just mainlining iced coffee during it

Was awesome to join @adamconover.bsky.social on the Factually show to talk about the AI bubble and the general state of the tech industry. youtu.be/T8ByoAt5gCA?... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The A.I. Bubble is Bursting with Ed Zitronyoutu.be Big tech is betting tens of billions of dollars on AI being the next big thing, but what if it isn't? ChatGPT burns obscene amounts of cash daily with little return, Google's AI dispenses useless and sometimes dangerous advice, and a recent study showed that tech companies will soon run out of new training data to improve their AI models. If AI is really so costly, unreliable, and limited, what happens to the industry that has bet so big on it? This week, Adam talks with journalist and influential tech critic Ed Zitron of wheresyoured.at to discuss the impending burst of the AI bubble, the hubris of Silicon Valley, and how we suffer under big tech's "Rot Economy."

I see some good ideas being suggested, but here's my entry: he can now *commercially* pirate music, since to really be criminal rather than civil, needs to be commercial. So he could set up the White House's official pirate streaming service. And no one could do anything.

Okay, folks, who is putting together the list of the funniest crimes that Biden should be committing between now and election day to highlight the absurdity of today's immunity ruling? Not the stuff like assassinations. Just stuff to make a point.
