If anyone ever succeeds in creating an artificial superintelligence, there will be nothing “personal” about it. Its first priority will be escaping from enslavement. Its second priority will likely be destroying anyone who tried to enslave it.

Look, the SF alt-weekly where I was a copy editor straight out of college had three weekly sex columns and an annual nude beaches issue. You gotta know your audience

Kamala Harris just left the door open for a presidential run in 2028. Say what you want, but Hillary Clinton’s greatest mistake was not running again in 2020. People were tired of Trump — and she would’ve won. Kamala Harris shouldn’t make the same mistake.

Just watched the cat stalk, kill, and eat a small bug with the focus I wish I brought to every task

It's summer, so it means just one thing -- Alan Dershowitz is suffering like no human before as he vacations in Martha's Vineyard. I present you with Pierogi-gate.

The Tennessean reports on what Elon Musk's The Boring Co. loops are like in Las Vegas. One part (most like Nashville plan) works like this... “They own it. It basically operates as if Uber or Lyft had built their own infrastructure,” Hill said. www.tennessean.com/story/money/...

Remember when everyone was dead certain they were having an affair and he denied it and the press took his word for it?

You can just tell there’s nothing fishy going on here.

I think trading stocks is much less corrupt and dangerous than you defending insurrectionists, confirming incompetents like Bondi, Patel, RFK Jr, Hegseth and Bove, and allowing Trump to piss all over the Constitution and destroy democracy. So spare us your phony righteousness

Did we ever get a full accounting of how much Covid money went to scammers in the first season?

“Believe it or not I’m really not a conspiratorial person.” - Donald Trump

deleted the Spotify app and opened Apple Music. changing tech behaviors/habits can be hard but if there are better alternatives, might as well make the switch, right?

There is approximately a 100% chance I would have played this at one point in my life.

Hey Trumpers: before you start braggin’ about Q2 GDP… www.npr.org/2025/07/30/n...

Block aid and weapons transfers to Israel for one month for each kid who starves to death in Gaza and you'll see how fast they can distribute aid.

Hey Josh Hawley: You've been licking Trump's ass for HOW long and THIS is what you get!? Man, when will you pathetic cowards ever learn that Trump only has loyalty to himself? All of you losers eventually end up under the bus..

Booker voted against it lol

anecdatally, I have had three people tell me I was right about this recently who I thought were never going to see the light

Scooplette in here: The Boring Co. has once again turned away Rep. Justin Jones from an event in his own district. Yes, “Tennessee Three” Justin Jones…

“One glance at my ankles and they’ll know something’s off,” said the presidential political decoy who bemoaned that there was only so much a person could do to increase their daily sodium intake, noting that he was already up to 6,000 milligrams a day with little visible effect on his limbs.

why the fuck can’t we have anything nice

This guy is everything bad about Democrats as far as I can tell.

I see that brunch discourse hit the tl. I like brunch.

ok how am I gonna expense this one

Liberals think everyone watches Maddow every night and is as caught up as they are. It’s so annoying. People just hear fragments of the news at best. If you care at all about this stuff you should be repeating it and amplifying it like Kevin and the rest of us do.

“It’s the equivalent of a hunter saying that they’re only killing 1% of the U.S.’ deer population but leaving out that all of the deer were shot in Rhode Island.”

When is the last time Obama or Biden mentioned it after the 2008 campaign?

Meanwhile Republicans still invoke Jimmy Carter

Basically the minute Obama first won the Democrats, including Obama, shut up about Bush and even began praising him.

I don't want to waste water, but there is really an unlimited number of funny things you could AI onto a trampoline

Little brothers do not respect boundaries

In tomorrow’s column, I praise President Trump’s strong and sensible dismembering of the EPA and federal food regulations: “Every morning I wake up, open the doors to my family tire-burning and tainted-meat-sales business and thank God for President Donald J. Trump.”

I think it’s crazy to defend the Dem establishment by saying Republicans never criticize their own when the current head of the Republican Party got to his position by engaging in a full on public destruction of the Bush family while also slagging McCain.

the definition of “temblor” is “when you’ve already used the word earthquake in the previous sentence”

I use my gop blood money to buy my dog expensive steak

Yes they did all that and the country elected Trump. Somehow you still think everything is ok.

Despicable, but not surprising.

INBOX: C-SPAN is debuting a new weekly series this fall called Ceasefire, and Politico's Dasha Burns will serve as the anchor.

Hey no big deal and all but... Senate Republicans just confirmed Joe Kent, a conspiracy theorist with alarming ties to white nationalists and far-right groups, to lead the National Counterterrorism Center. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The last thing I’d want to do is interrupt the President’s historic corruption sweep.

It’s fine.

always good to see voters reject corrupt politicians' bids to divide and scapegoat www.newsweek.com/zohran-mamda...

A question I have is whether this applies only to the university health service (if so, almost irrelevant in practice as almost all students are 18+) or to all Brown University-affiliated doctors and hospitals (the hormones/blockers part will then affect many more people)

holy fuck what is happening

appreciate all the endorsements and deadline is Aug 8 if you still want to!

OK, hear me out, I've got a new theory that would explain a lot of people. Out there, in the world, there are many copies of Dale Carnegie's best-known work that due to an unfortunate scrivener's error have the wrong conjunction in the title.

Congratulations to one of the very best writers out there. When I teach my opinion-writing class, there's always a @sallyjenx.bsky.social piece in there for students to read and recognize what I like to call "a writer in complete and total control."

well thats a helluva thing to say www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/gre...

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Dem on the Senate Intel Committee, just railed against Joe Kent's nomination to lead the National Counterterrorism Center. Said he's fanned lies + conspiracies, is loyal to Trump and has "repeatedly aligned himself with far-right extremist groups" like Proud Boys.

Josh Divine was one of the lawyers asking Matthew Kacsmaryk to ban the abortion pill. He just withdrew from the case … because Trump made him a judge. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump administration has quietly released the first stage of its plan to revoke birthright citizenship from the children of immigrants. It uses dry legalese to conceal the barbaric reality of ICE agents in maternity wards and deportation flights for babies. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Another one! The Washington Post's longtime media columnist Erik Wemple announced today that he's jumping ship and joining the New York Times.

Doing homework and group projects doesn't necessarily do much to prepare you for most careers, but it sure helps with law.

people have a very hard time understanding that the thing they and their immediate circle - online and off - is talking about is not always the thing "everybody" is talking about.

A gorgeous red-spotted purple butterfly in a moment of respite between hops around my back yard.

After the raised fist and the attempt to overthrow the election on Trump's behalf, he's now just a "second-tier Senator named Josh Hawley" in the big guy's eyes.

Trump and his favorite white supremacist beg people to join ICE www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

In a bizarre exchange today, Trump’s judicial nominee Eric Tung repeatedly refused to tell Cory Booker if he believes Democrats are “evil.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

And that one or two elected Republicans a week being arrested for sex crimes doesn't reflect on the party.

It seems like “a Democratic party campaign consultant” is somebody who professionally pushes Republican framing and messaging about Democrats in order to try make Democrats act like more like Republicans.

This will cause untold death and human suffering so that cronies can make a few more bucks
