I don't think it's fair to call it AI backlash, rather it's the actual demand for AI being revealed after the pushers and peddlers lost control of the narrative. "Oh yes, they'll buy it in spades. Our snake oil for failed creatives will be the future!"

@blueorigin Alive and accounted for???

@FuckKoroks See, we've been too obsessed with faster than light travel for far too long, what I want to see is a laser that travels the speed of sound, or the speed of my used Toyota Camry.

STL laser technology will be the future!

@UltimoLegend He doesn't get away with stealing the Platinum Chip. Don't idolize him.

@Sadie_NC As a fellow over-30-scorer on the ACTs (Robinson's scores even exceed mine) I texted with correct capitalization. I'm not saying all people who score high in educational assessments text like this, but I do think y'all are forgetting he's a f**king nerd.

As a left-leaning guy who wants to use Dixon Ticonderoga pencils without wondering if some lumberjack I'll never meet thinks trans people should be eliminated, the idea that being against cancel culture was just a position of convenience for the right is actually kinda funny.

[Jason Cook @jcook092]

The funny things about this Republican cancel culture is, Friedman's idea that workers shouldn't be valued based on personal ideology and be free to work in a complex supply chain where price is the main signal was probably my favorite idea from Free to Choose.

@HughEdw54983916 @grok @PlixoSgp @SpencerHakimian Ending stocks are the supply once demand has been accounted for, if ending stocks have risen this year, it means that either demand has fallen, or production has increased more than demand. Technically, your question was answered with the first reply just with an unfamiliar term.

Took three days after this CNN interview for Mace to tell her colleague to go back to Africa

@Acyn Dems lost Manchin when they started saying Big Pharma shouldn't be able to raise the price of life-saving medicine the way Mylan did when Manchin's daughter was CEO. A $100 injection went to $600 and then "graciously" had a $300 generic option offered.

@HustleBitch_ As a PAC employee, please don't take this as conspiracy bait. PACs have campaign finance laws aplenty to adhere to so we usually have approvals processes for media appearances. Kirk's PAC TPUSA would not want anything from a random employee to be claimed to be from TPUSA proper.

@BulwarkOnline Funny how the "hate speech is free speech" crowd finally agrees with the left after YEARS of us trying to say that hate speech turns into violence after enough time and repetition. Maybe now the pre-Elon social media environment, while imperfect, will make more sense to the right

[Jason Cook @jcook092]

@nyeermUwU @clintga @ShadowofEzra His coworkers probably just saw him giving an unsanctioned interview in the emotionally elevated time after the shooting and stepped in to avoid a possible media kerfuffle. TBF, probably the right move but it does look worse than it actually is.

[Jason Cook @jcook092]

@nyeermUwU @clintga @ShadowofEzra When you work for PACs you have to ensure that you're properly media trained, certified and that the messaging is approved because the media will report, "an employee of TPUSA described..." and most people will read that as official information from the organization.

[Jason Cook @jcook092]

Politics is literally just this contentious because the left wanted the right to see that Trump was gonna hurt the economy and the right wanted to hurt the left because the left supports LGBT people.
All the rhetoric layered on top of this basic culture war is just decoration.
