@artemis They've been suing people over use of The Backrooms as if they invented it.

I assume this will be similarly mishandled.

@fesshole Stack ranking is evil and never works in the long term because of exactly this kind of fucked up incentive.

It will never work but the authoritarian sadists of the Epstein-Trump class will always gravitate back to it.

@fesshole This kid has a future in theatre makeup and effects.

@catsalad How come the good guy "extremists" are just complaining and the bad guy "extremists" are poisoning whole cities and consuming whole electric grids and reservoirs?

"Extremist" seems really uselessly malleable these days.

@zzt I'm starting to see more of the benefit of microkernels as time goes on.

@skinnylatte Animal mating rituals are a solid source for comedy. I love seeing how weird and complicated humans are in comparison.

Male Bird of Paradise: Hey ladies! Lookit these fancy, fancy eyebrows! I can make them dance!
Female BoP: He's totally the one! Those eyebrows are so hot!

They have one date. If things work out, there are babies a bit later. If not, he goes back to eyebrow dancing and she goes looking for hotter eyebrows.

@paninid @angrystaffer.bsky.social It appeals to the fake working class fascists who vote for them.

@EricLawton Nothing that can't die should ever have power over something that can.

Money *is* power. Not "can be turned into power", it *is* power.

That's why UBI works and why people in positions of power oppose it.

It's why cutting taxes for the powerful is always high priority but cutting taxes for the weak is not.

It's why education and healthcare are kept as expensive as possible, because that keeps the poor from ever acquiring any power.

@DejahEntendu @jeffowski They are conditioned to believe that they are the enforcers of civilization and that everything will go to hell if they aren't the lethal enforcers of every possible criminal statute.

We can't fix this without getting rid of all of them and starting over from something other than slave catchers.

@Nonilex They can't justify a lethal response if they don't interpret it that way and they're really itching to kill some dissenters.

@fourmiune @Npfmorsan @greenpeace Yet. Billionaires are working the problem and already have plans for space based energy supplies/restrictions.

You will be paying for your quota of sunlight as soon as they can figure out how to make it scarce.

@aral I knew Germans had an anti-Arab thing going back at least to the Ottoman Empire but I didn't think it would render them this stupid.

@dalias If LLM output can't be copyrighted as SCOTUS seems to have decided, then it also can't be MIT licensed. You can't license what you don't own and you can't own LLM output, it's public domain.

@davidgerard All the resource waste aside, the people most likely to run to vibe-coding it all are also the ones who neglect their testing, documentation, specs, etc. when hand-coding stuff.

They fail even at the level of "trust, but verify" because they're not verifying.

@georgetakei We remember what happened to "The Chicks". The USA hasn't believed in truly free speech in quite a while.

@amalia22 He likes to sue the captive opposition because they can pretend to negotiate a settlement and then pay him his tribute.

He hates bringing suit against people who are actually going to fight.

@FlashMobOfOne @artemis Those are the same thing and they shouldn't be allowed the luxury of pretending otherwise.

They must confront their evil deeds and evil intentions head on.

@artemis "One day they will all have been against this" is how I see it going. The USA has a long history of refusing to process their issues and this will go on the backlog along with everything else since slavery.

They'll take their hurt feelings, disconnection and feelings of displacement and spin them into a "South shall rise again" narrative they'll pull back out of the closet when they're feeling plucky again.

@AnarchoNinaWrites In my mind, they're only one struggle. Those are two arms of the same fascist oligarchy. Hacking at the root - the billionaire capitalists who want us all profitably enslaved or profitably killed are the enemy.

With them gone, none of the current parties or politicians can stand on their own.
