"And at this point, we have to assume people—especially the people who buy Tesla stock—want to be lied to."

That dude's superpower is coming up with self-serving lies that people want to repeat

A couple days ago i just decided a battery powered candle lamp should turn on if i tip it. I did, and it actually turned on. The next day the same trick didn't work.
Turns out it just runs on a timer and I'm always there at about the same time, but for a day at least i thought it had that really neat feature

Can everyone please stop saying "anti-DEI" and just start calling it white supremacy already

How often does AI suggest these fake packages, i wonder 🤔

I hope Windows 11 telling everyone to throw their computer into the trash about the same time no new computers will be arriving to the US will be a pretty fun time for foss

Trump Administration Argues Migrant Children Don’t Need Soap

Children in Border Patrol custody aren’t guaranteed access to basic hygiene or bedding, the Justice Department tells incredulous judges

My first time in Thailand i got a dish that came with bird peppers and i thought they would be like jalapenos. People gawked at the amount i piled on. I ate them and i cried and it was great

@dogzilla

At least there will be art after it all 😮💨

(I keep thinking how Devo went to Kent State and saw their classmates murdered by national guardsmen.)

@aral
Also, pregnant people should think twice. The religious fervor to eliminate abortion as an option here means pregnancy complications often become much more complicated that they should be allowed to and people die from it.

Their trademark stainless image is impossible to keep free from stains so people are putting wraps on them because you can wash vinyl. But yeah, this pattern sucks 🫠

@michelestrider @inthehands @SaltySolomon
I'm gonna guess it's more likely to cover up water damage

I love the part about "don't bring more swastikas into this world" and "don't cosplay as a Nazi"

@patrickcmiller
WOW.

DOGE wants access to every government record but they won't even identify 80% of their staff asking DoE for this information

@roadriverrail @ana
That was interesting, thank you. This feels kind of related:
I played Persona 5 a little after Trump took office the first time. There's a part of the game where you go through the social unconscious mind and people are sitting in cages reassuring themselves that they didn't do anything to cause the problems people are facing,, and,,

I keep thinking about fascism at a personal level. That these people are trapped in their own minds trying to hide from their own awareness in an attempt to feel at peace. It doesn't work, of course. They're still prisoners in their own mind, afraid to see themselves as powerful enough to do anything about it.

@thepoliticalcat @Fleurvervenne
Yup. Trump is offering federal employees a "buyout" to accept early resignation, and also threatening a purge of anyone that isn't sufficiently loyal to him personally.

He wants to replace everybody with lackeys and yesmen.

#Deepseek. I've seen a lot about it but everything I've seen that was informative is also very pro AI. I'm not so i won't share links to them.

Basically:
China was denied the newest chips to make AI so everyone in the US assumed they would never get there.
But China used less capable chips and optimized the hell out of them to make something work that's actually way more efficient.
So tech stocks are worried there could be a bubble now, and generalized AI hype is seeing a surge today.

Mostly i think this is about American hubris.
