@JeremiahDJohns@burkebythelake its AI that’s driving the rapid expansion of data centers, and AI’s entire sales pitch to investors is “we’re going to enable you to lay off half of planet earth”, and investors will funnel half of every dollar they save into lobbyists to stop the gov from helping those laid off
@JordanUhl the nanny state doesn’t want
to let me have the boss’ gun from metal gear solid 3. next they are gonna say i can’t have her nuclear rocket launcher either
@MattBoxer94 opposition to data centers is popular with voters on both sides of the aisle, so if this is a reasonable fear that will stop you from staking out a position, why wouldn’t it stop you from staking literally any position on anything
@willmenaker the one thing i’m constantly on the fence about with each of these guys is whether they’re actually this stupid or if they merely think we’re this stupid. it’s legit hard to tell with many of them
@zoranploscar@paulg lol so we’re calling the concept of comprehension “memorization” now. ok. you will never create anything of value with this mindset. you’re a sucker who has been duped into believing that talking to a chatbot using venture capitalist babyspeak is going to make you a worldmaster
@BenjaminBadejo if we need them so bad and they don’t need us maybe we should just walk away from them 🙂 for the good of israel 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 bye bye israel best of luck in your future endeavors 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@AngryInAGoodWay@daveweigel lol most people would NOT call super pacs flooding the airwaves with political ads that intentionally hide their real ideological motivations for opposing a candidate “good”
@MattBors lol literally the only thing that webcomic is remembered for is the one time it tried being earnest instead of ironic and it was so maudlin everyone nuked it into oblivion by ironically reposting it
@thenotoriouskmt@ettingermentum if both polls are accurate, it means, right now at least, dems aren’t planning strategic primary votes for who they think is more electable. this would be great if it holds true in 2028. dem voters love to try to predict a candidate’s electability, but they’re bad at it
@MaxMBJ@daveweigel People who believe masks should be mandatory at public gatherings for the rest of eternity call anyone who doesn’t believe that eugenicists, the logic being that if you’re opposed to masking forever and ever, you must believe people with autoimmune disorders should die.
@burgessev in regards to the last point, i think one thing smarter dems are learning is that it’s stupid to disarm in any way unless your opponents are disarming with you. see the current rush back to partisan gerrymandering. you don’t get honor points for disarming first, you just lose
@Olivia_Reingold Wow, even with two days to compose this tweet, you still can’t answer his question in plain language? I get it. It’s impossible to explain the concept of a Jewish state is in plain words without it sounding like fascism or theocracy. But the hand-waving here is really pathetic.
@samhaselby@willmenaker didn’t forgive the SS tattoo. see the tattoo, the past work as a mercenary for Blackwater, etc. as a pattern of behavior for otherwise untested candidate. worry he’s a fetterman sequel. i don’t really have a dog in the fight, but i think concerns are reasonable
@Bongos_OK@nexta_tv no, his name is punch. he was hand raised by zoo staff as a baby because his mother abandoned him, and as a result he’s had some trouble integrating into monkey society. they gave him a stuffed animal that he hugs for affection which has made him pretty popular online, very cute
