People that Stan authoritarian countries. The term comes from when the USSR crushed liberation movements with tanks in the Republics and many western communists approved of the crushing. People who love China, Russia, Assad’s Syria, etc are tankies.

I saw this one as a reply to someone saying that the humans were obviously the good guys in Helldivers. I laugh about it almost every day.

Given MSFTs giant investment in GenAI, it is hard to argue that Nadella isn’t a fool.

This song is now going to be stuck in my head for a week (good).

I went to school in Oklahoma and we learned about the Trail of Tears and the burning of Black Wall Street. I don’t think they were highlighted like they should have been. It wasn’t visceral. But the facts were taught.

I can’t imagine that happening now there.

This is a very cute cat

I’ve been making homemade atole lately and I think I like it better than horchata. Same sort of spice mix just with some fucking masa as well. It is incredible. It replaced egg nog for me this holiday season.

For some reason I love this parrot. Such a little asshole. So cute 😍

Hierarchies have given us the GenAI bubble so it doesn’t look like they are doing great at rational decision making either.

Mark has never had to progress past 18 since he became extremely rich around that age.

Yeah, it was really good but I’m an audio medium man. Always be listening is my motto And Mr Ed Zitron was the guest and I adore him.

The Steve Jobs episodes of Behind The Bastards go into a lot of detail as to why this happened this way. You also get to hear about how Jobs would soak his feet in the toilet during meetings and how he made little children cry for eating wrong. He was a real piece of shit.

Was there a Luddite like movement that tried to stop the automation of their craft?

This reminds me of the Up Against The Wall Mother Fucker activist group in the late 60s. They did cool shit and intentionally named themselves something that couldn’t be co-opted.

I mean the unconquered sun saves basically everything every day just by existing. We should get back to worshiping it.

It is honestly too bad that he never got to see his dream come true. Probably worse for him that Trump winning again.

Somehow you are missing the violence that Thompson inflicted on all of his thousands of victims? Maybe you are ok with that because your moral compass is dictated by the state? Or is it ok because they are peasants? Or maybe you are ok with sick people needlessly suffering so this shit eater can have more boat money?

I think this is funny, but I think it would be funnier if it was just Eric Adams highlighted.

I don’t know if it is morally objectionable to kill a man who is directly responsible for the deaths and suffering of thousands. The murdered piece of shit bragged about using AI to deny claims and he was responsible for the highest claim denials in the industry just so he could make a buck. Fuck that guy. I’m glad he is dead and Luigi is a hero if he did it.

The behind the bastards (another cool zone production) about the eBay executives harassing those bloggers is fucking nuts.
