If that happened, you could not convince me that we aren’t all extras in Idiocracy 2.

Take it back to what, though? The 1990s? I guess that’d be an improvement. What they really need is progress. Is there any kind of progressive movement in Russia?

Fuck no. That’s Andrew Yang’s centrist, populist love-child.

It’s going no where, anyway.

Trump can’t pull out of NATO without an act of Congress. He might try but it’ll definitely be stopped in the courts. Even the US Supreme Court wouldn’t be able to find a way around the law.

Rutte needs to grow a spine and stop indulging Trump’s juvenile shit.

For Steve Bannon, that’s a good time.

I was surprised they made a second Family Plan. I didn’t watch either. I do not get the appeal of Mark Wahlberg.

I’m surprised Invasion isn’t on there. I (hate) watched the first season. I wanted it to be good. It wasn’t.

Nuclear energy companies aren’t trying to make people think that their reactors reproduce.

AI companies are trying to make people think that their software is intelligent.

The context matters.

There’s been a rash of accounts posting YT “pornstar” videos, lately.

It spammy engagement bait. Get rid of this crap.

Look at OPs history. It’s full of this crap.

Funding

Main financing has come from Goldman Sachs and venture capitalists such as Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc., Rockefeller’s Venrock, and Richard Kramlich’s New Enterprise Associates. The Government of Russia, through the joint-stock company Rusnano, invested in Tri Alpha Energy in October 2012, and Anatoly Chubais, Rusnano CEO, became a board member. Other investors include the Wellcome Trust and the Kuwait Investment Authority. As of July 2017 the company reported that it had raised more than $500 million in backing. As of 2020, it had raised over $600 million,which rose to around $880 million in 2021 and $1.2 billion as of 2022.

The connection to Russia adds to the suspicion.

That doesn’t explain why he’s so happy about his plate of shit donuts. He’s slop.

I gave up on a DuoLingo course because they started using AI voices. I was doing the course during the switch and it was jarring. Even I could tell the accents and pronunciation were just wrong half the time.

They’ve moved up to ‘flays’ in the headlines now! How long until we get to ‘defenestrates’ or ‘degloves’?

Some future anthropologist or historian is going to study the increasing violence in news headlines leading up to… whatever it is we’re headed for.

Dress code

Maybe it’s the real Romulan uniform. How do you know? Have you ever been to space? Katy Perry has. 😝

But his approval ratings are in the shitter. This is the best he can do. Nevermind Epstein, healthcare, foreign oil wars, rampant authoritarianism and all that. Weed is popular. Maybe this will keep them happy.

That might be a clue.

I think the people around Trump were feeding him false info…

I don’t think Stephen Miller technically counts as a person. Unless a pencil-necked manifestation of pure insecurity is considered a person.

At least Starbucks will have something I can’t get for practically free at home.

They don’t want to evaluate the AI they’ve been pushing because they know it won’t justify the massive amounts of money. It’s basically a pyramid scheme now. They’re going to evangelize more to keep themselves afloat.

They might be trying to make their AI useful simultaneously but it’s never going to catch up to the massive amount of money wasted. So, they’re going to need more money. Once the faucet turns off the golden parachutes will be deployed and the bailouts will begin.
