Well giddy up Joe Biden! I assume you’ll be dispatching Seal Team 6 to take care of Osama bin Trump post haste!

@TheJen

I’ve been looking for an incident where a victim of swatting has been injured. Can you help me out with that?

Those of us with a deep seated, personal faith in Bigfoot can assure you that Bigfoot would not approve of Donald Trump‘s behavior. I’m aware of nothing in the Bigfoot literature that would condone Trump’s buffoonery. End of story.

Breaking News!

This morning at dawn, country A with a military consisting of .00041% of its population attacked country B with a military consisting of .00043% of its population thus setting off a cycle of destruction and chaos for 99.99916% of their combined populations who would prefer to simply get on with their day to day lives.

So it goes.

America at its best 

Personally, I think this is the best Trump rally I’ve seen yet.

And John Wayne Gacy was just a misunderstood performance artist.

I’ve been looking for a side hustle these days and I sent my (decidedly thin) resume to FOX, MSNBC and CNN asking for $500 a day to endlessly ponder, predict, pontificate, and perseverate on either of “two sides” of “the debate”. Am I asking for too much money on this one?

If your local weather reporter forecast an evacuation warning for a hurricane that was expected, say, in November, would you pack up your belongings and head for the hills? Would such a prediction even be newsworthy since weather forecasts are only reliable for 5 to 7 days out? Of course you wouldn’t evacuate and of course such a forecast would be so laughable it would never be reported. So why do people go apeshit over political polls and, more importantly, how is that they are newsworthy?

I really don’t give a flip about Americas opinions on elections or the justice system. Opinions are meaningless. I’m only interested in post-election morning and trial verdict day. The rest is a mass media circle jerk.

South African apartheid was ended due to boycott and disinvestment. I’ve become convinced that Palestinian apartheid can only be ended by the same.

ChatGPT is a subset of AI. The “thorny issue” of ChatGPT has nothing to do with the broader category of AI that applies to revolutionary use cases in climate science, genetics and cybersecurity to name a few. And the copyright issues with ChatGPT will likely be straitened out. I guess all the “AI will be the end of humanity” clickbait panic has run course? Too bad this is behind a paywall. I’m sure it’s informative. 😒

@melissaryan

So glad she’s not falling in with the “it’s racism, plain and simple” crowd. The problem is much deeper and, quite frankly, much worse than any racism baked in to this cake.

Here here! At the federal level there are 435 reps and 100 senators. About 500 of them are short term, unremarkable, and more or less there to represent their constituents. 30 of them get the bulk of the media attention because they are party leaders or loud, partisan, and/or controversial. Then there’s the handful of perverts, crooks and frauds whose behavior prejudices the general public to believe everyone is like them. Balance indeed!!

Here’s one. If you use the word “they” in a post about how “they” are going to screw “you”, “us”, “me”, please provide a better idea of “who” “they” actually are. Maybe “they” are a known quantity for those “in the know”, but I like to have a more precise understanding of your “reality” to better understand who “they” are.

Maybe it’s always been like this and I was never aware, but media in general and social media in particular is mostly speculative and paranoid. I wonder what would happen if I used AI to review the universe of social media posts to determine the ratio of “it’s surely the demise of everything we hold dear and true” posts to posts about actual reality. I’m spitballing about 330:1.

”If Trump gets elected, it will be the end of American democracy as we know it”.

When someone proclaims this in an interview, it’s spoken as if it’s an obvious truth. Why do I feel like it’s a little bit vague?🤔

@walkerbragman

I thought Bill was an atheist. I guess that’s not causing enough controversy to get clicks. 

So Trump gets elected next year and everyone’s just gonna say “oh well, I guess that’s just the end of democracy as we know it.” 🤷🏻‍♂️ Really? Like everyone’s just going to rollover and complain about it on social media? If that’s what America does then it deserves itself.
