Mostly done with this site but if any of you need another reason to switch to bsky, I have resurrected my large adult son there

Megalopolis would have been even funnier if the mayor was Eric Adams instead of Giancarlo Esposito

“We are the Rome of America!” @NYCMayor says at Gracie Mansion event for Italians. Bold considering there is already another Rome, NY

I could go to a random gas station in pretty much anywhere in Missouri and they'd have a machine for pouring drinks better than this

Optimus just poured a drink and didn’t ask for a 25% tip on an iPad.

Just put $10M more into Tesla stock

@ironicline I've done the nier thing in two games I wrote and I want to go further so bad but I cannot afford the required legal team

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

I think I could probably figure out "game that deletes itself after one playthrough" then retire on the rest

I don't know how to do this without malware but also I do know how to write a EULA so

unless it is an actual AI, which does not exist, it is probably an LLM and it will run out of tokens within a single session and start to hallucinate. jesus christ. people paid to understand this do not understand this

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

while this is so cringe it's also kinda right. The rules of chess don't matter if you're willing to pull out a gun and shoot your opponent to win. He's dumb but not because he's wrong, but because he's being transparent about how the world works and people like him maintain power

Oh my fucking god

vance just credited trump for obamacare, I dont even know

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

an addendum to this is that JD Vance is a villain in an Ayn Rand novel, and to be clear I do not agree with Ayn Rand about much

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

a really annoying thing is that "let's build housing on Federal Lands" should actually disqualify a candidate and make them unelectable from both liberals and conservatives because it violates both their ideals and yet here we are

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

"georgia has a different thought than california on abortion" is an INSANE policy if you think abortion is murder, and if you don't you should be pro-choice

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

healthcare and foreign policy are more important issues but I just can't stand that no one will actually explain tariffs

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

jesus christ if we're going to call out Tim Walz on being in China a month after Tiananmen Square please dear god explain tariffs. please fucking explain tariffs

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

sinéad o'connor actually took a position, didn't equivocate, and was right.

[roberto @themexicanbjork]

funny how americans look back at sinéad o'connor's hate train with such guilt and outrage when y'all be replicating the same tantics with chappel roan for raising her voice too. usa's ego and self-centrism has no limits.

Aaron Judge should start taking whatever Barry Bonds started taking at his age just as, like, an experiment

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

@VanHicklestein @ErdrickStorm I think you're right, but I also think "should" does a lot of work here. It should cost nothing for Republicans to defend queer citizens or legal immigrants from Haiti who honestly embody the American dream better than most.

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

@VanHicklestein @ErdrickStorm phrased this poorly, apologies to both of you. I despise what Israel is doing but both-sidesing is frustrating because we all know the reactionaries and Trumpists will fuck over Palestine even worse and also wreck things for queer folks in the US

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

@VanHicklestein @ErdrickStorm I don't want to step in shit, because I respect what both of you are trying to say and I think you're both fighting for good; but both-sidesing in 2024 isn't selling out one vulnerable group for another. It's selling out one vulnerable group for two.

[redbirdmenace.bsky.social @RedbirdMenace]

honestly very funny that early on in MLB history, a guy was just like "I can be a good pitcher and also the best hitter" and no one could do that for a 100 years but now a different guy is just doing it again
