Hmm, stepping on rakes is about the only leverage I’ve seen US Democrats use. The world would be happily surprised if they did otherwise.

Agentic LLMs are not a good idea. So I guess we’ll be hastily jumping into this boat as well.

Fuck Disney

Seriously, human generated data is what AI is trained on–this should come as a no-brainer.

On one hand yes, of course. But on the other, to drive people to use yet another (oftentimes) subscription service, it’s seems like a Pro Capitalist move for another grift avenue.

VPN providers driving off into the sunset with dollar bills flying out the windows.

These guys are going to get away with every single crime they commit until they die. Makes me feel crazy.

I feel like the more small shit they penalize their citizens for, the more just doing large shit makes sense.

Haven’t read the article yet but what a cursed headline, my heart goes out to American workers.

Edit after reading:

When inflation is factored in, full-time workers’ take-home pay rose by even less – by about $26 during the first six months of 2025. The statement is partially accurate but leaves out important details. We rate it Half True.

Folks are getting a additional lunch out per year and we’re talking about it here.

Where are the Epstein files?

Fleas too

Good read. I like the data. I’ve sussed out critics I tend to align with and read what they have to say after watching a movie, but never before. If I want to be disappointed I look to see what RT scores it for comparison. Granted, RT is a relatively spoiler free way to at-a-glance see if something might be worth spending money on but clearly it’s less and less reliable over the years. Reminds me of Yelp and their bullshit. In a perfect world we’d all make much more money to see many more movies and not feel the need to min-max all the fuckin time. Maybe that’s just me.

Howell also warned that Maxwell could be a flight risk, given how she evaded the authorities for months before her arrest: “This is a camp you can literally walk out of.

She’ll be getting her steps in, I imagine.

Yo dawg I heard you like microplastics

Hoping this ages like milk, but I’m personally not putting much stock into these theatrics. I feel like the past decade has time and time again shown that schadenfreude only happens in movies, and that every interaction these people have with each other are Neanderthal-level grifts that successfully siphon them more even money from the lower classes.

Color me jaded.

This is a weird loredump from Armored Core.

For the ARC, these federal contracts have been lucrative. According to government spending records, the company has received at least $600,000 from federal contracts so far in 2025, and about $700,000 last year.

I don’t know why I was expecting more. US citizens should probably start unmasking who the people making decisions behind these companies are, who would sell out this kind of data on others–all for such an inconsequential amount of money.

This is incredibly insightful, thanks.
