@br00t4c He's not about to abandon them or anything, he's just not covering for them as aggressively as they might prefer.

@br00t4c He brings money. That's the most important thing the Democratic party can get according to their continuous stream of emails.

@skinnylatte I go back to Asimov's Foundation to talk about this stuff.

There are priests who understand the ritual, they can push the buttons in the right order, interpret the blinking lights, but they are helpless when something breaks.

There are technicians who know how everything works but maybe don't have command of the rituals.

With the AI push currently, it's very apparent that we're building the whole economy around the priesthood and trying to disavow all the technicians.

@br00t4c Essentially nothing, right? The media is all in on Project 2025, actively working to conflate Israel with Jewish-ness generally.
The shooter is an unreliable source.
This DoJ is an unreliable source.

There's nobody left whose take can be trusted.

@br00t4c She's been famous for ages and only just now has to decide what she wants to be when she grows up?

@br00t4c The people who made themselves rich with market manipulation and insider trading painted themselves into a corner, unable to self-fund but also without any compelling value proposition for donors.

"We desperately need your donations so we can stay in office and add to our personal fortunes! And maybe defeat fascism if it's not too far out of our way."

@Gurre @timjclevenger @GossiTheDog That's the interface as it's designed, not that there's any redemption to be found in it.

Working with CoPilot is like having a pair programmer who is wildly insane, didn't read the project documents and may or may not be a spy.

The syntax is usually solid, it's the logic and design that's absolutely bonkers.

@br00t4c AI in every orifice, as expected.

1984 re-editing reality in real time

@br00t4c It already did. We can't resurrect it just by force of denial.

@br00t4c Oh good, I was hoping for more privatization and capitalism propaganda from the feds!

@br00t4c We don't even have a work requirement for Congress, why should anybody else have one?

@br00t4c I've got probably $10k down and around $200k financing. Final offer!

@br00t4c They're going to jam Gemini into every orifice but they'll draw each individual announcement out into like a 2 hour session.

@br00t4c Is the FBI now a diplomatic entity or is he just massively overstepping?

It feels like maybe it's the FBI's job to handle things inside our borders. If he knows so much about where and when the drug trafficking happens, surely he can just stop it.

@br00t4c He can set up a public debate over autism with Musk. That should be a fun watch.

@br00t4c And then? Where does the baby, already showing its own concerning health indicators, go?

Her corpse is going to deliver a profoundly disabled baby into a world that is very happy to kill the disabled.

These politicians just want to see two people die at their hands instead of one.

@br00t4c And?

Explain *why* that rule is in the Constitution. Explain what accepting that gift means.
Explain that it's unacceptable and why.

@br00t4c So Slovenia doesn't have much going for it is what I'm getting? Marrying an American asshole gets you a statue?

@br00t4c Unauthorized like the CEO throwing a tantrum and ripping out the butyl waterproofing of a prototype?

Or unauthorized like a large dropout child stealing all the keys to the OPM?

Musk destroys the credibility of everything he touches.

@br00t4c I wonder if instead of beating the shit out of these people, you instead compensated them fairly and well with plenty of co-workers ready to cover for vacations, etc. Maybe kept up with their equipment needs and the like...

How would a department run with a fully funded intention to succeed fare?
