CNBC breaks shocking news
Pfft that’s stupid. Everyone knows millennials prefer to rent because settling down just doesn’t fit our lifestyle, bro.
Plus we aren’t “handy” enough to deal with all the work of owning a home.
Just kidding, it’s because we’d rather be driving for Uber or something, I don’t know.
Point is, we’re just lazy, entitled, inept children.

Google Maps changes Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ for U.S. users
Watching these corporate collaborators fall all over themselves to enact the profoundly stupid and short-sighted whims of a sodden, rotting corpse when they could just…not do that…has been one of the most surreal experiences of my life.
The sad thing is, thanks to their capture of both parties, I have no conceit they’ll actually experience any consequences for it. We have handed power to some of the least-deserving ghouls the Wharton School of Business ever squeezed out.

She has well and truly earned every stress-induced illness, every sleepless night, every mental breakdown she experiences. May she singularly feel all the hardship she has caused others.

Ghislaine Maxwell to seek release from prison: court filing
Ah, see, you think you heard that MAGA was going to “release the Epstein files” but what they actually said was “we’re going to release the Epstein pedophiles.” Yeah, they’re letting everyone involved with him off the hook.

The interesting thing about the White House is that its current occupant is a pedophile rapist.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI doomerism has 'done a lot of damage' and is 'not helpful to society'
It’s not enough, guys. Just about everyone with a 401(k) or a pension is giving us truckloads of money, but it’s not enough. We’re cooking the books, but it’s not enough. We’re paying OpenAI to buy our GPUs and IT’S STILL NOT FUCKING ENOUGH.
It must be the AI doomers. Those morons, those Luddites! AI has amazing benefits, like agreeing with people so hard they go insane, or counting the letters in “strawberry”, or undressing children! And those people think the same technology could cause the end of the world?
Those doomers are definitely the paper jam in the money printer. We gotta get rid of them. Then the money can really flow in!

US will issue commemorative passports with Trump’s picture for America's 250th birthday
This is very funny, because the kind of people who want Trump's face smeared all over their official documents are probably not the kind of people who do a lot of international travel.

I am not even sure all of the continental US will be under his operational control by the time he leaves office.

Masterful Strategy
By the end of this thing I fully expect Trump to hand-deliver them the plans for the bomb and claim that it’s a win because he didn’t allow them to develop it themselves.

You have one week to opt out or become fodder for LinkedIn AI training
Fuck that, lean in! Generate a fake profile with ChatGPT. You’re not an IT drone, you got a Wharton MBA. You spent 10 years volunteering as a street sweeper for Doctors Without Borders in Port-au-Prince before you got your big break in forensic accounting. In your spare time you enjoy carving tiny canoes out of toothpicks and staging mock naval battles with the bugs you catch as an amateur entomologist. LLMs can’t make our lives better, but we sure as shit can make them worse.

S&P downgrades Oracle to BBB- – only one notch above junk level
S&P views Oracle's strong dependence on a single major customer, OpenAI, as particularly critical.
Well it’s a good thing OpenAI is a stable foundation to build on top of. No worries about that company. I’d stake my personal reputation on it!

Trump DOJ Reportedly Looking Into Delegitimizing Watergate Prosecutors and Clearing Nixon
Fine, “delegitimize” the prosecutors and “clear” Nixon (he was never actually prosecuted due to Ford’s pardon). We’ll expand the supreme court, who will rule that because he was “cleared”, the pardon is null and void. Further, they’ll rule that because he was never prosecuted, double jeopardy doesn’t apply.
Then we can appoint a special prosecutor and convene a new grand jury to go after him and all the co-conspirators new and old for real this time. Dig up that rotten corpse and we’ll make the trial of Richard Nixon part of Reconstruction 2.0.

Young Trump Voters Fume He ‘Betrayed’ Them by Launching His War
Reply in thread
Good. Don’t vote. If you were so stupid/racist/sexist/oblivious to history as to vote for Trump in 2024 you should not be voting at all.
Trump and the Republicans (who only exist as his personal ball-washers to sanewash and rubberstamp everything he does; they are indistinguishable at this point) documented all the policies they were going to pursue in the Project 2025 policy document, which was readily available to read before the election. You were warned about this loudly and repeatedly.
Trump’s behavior is also a known quantity. I suspect you did not magically appear on Earth to vote for him in 2024 having never experienced the reality of his first term, so you also should have had the benefit of knowing what he is like.
You therefore knew (or should have known) what he was like and what he wanted to do. If you knew, congratulations on getting exactly what you voted for. If not, you’re a low-information voter. You shouldn’t be voting at all because you are, at best, blindly picking a choice that everyone else has to live with too. So stay home. Don’t vote. Then at least nobody else has to suffer with the consequences of your ignorance.

These people are so convinced of their superiority they’ve looped back around to pure idiocy. They’re so smart, they’ve created their own vengeful god. And if you don’t believe in it, you’ll get what’s coming to you. Just you wait til GPT-666 is released.

Heritage Foundation President Offers to Quit Over Tucker Carlson Mess
Question: is Tucker sanewashing Fuentes by giving him an in to mainstream media? Or is Fuentes “nazi-washing” Tucker and helping him out by giving him access to Fuentes’ audience? For a much better breakdown than I can give, Dan & Jordan at Knowledge Fight just covered this in episode 1089.
Tucker has already debased himself, as if that were possible, by interviewing the likes of Alex Jones (who of course has had Fuentes on his show multiple times). It’s not like he’s any more guilty by direct association. Given that 30-40% of young republican DC staffers may be groypers (not exactly a scientific poll but I mean…doesn’t this comport with recent experience), is it surprising that he’s cozying up to a literal nazi in a desperate attempt to stay relevant to the next generation of republicans?
And as Knowledge Fight (honestly pretty exhaustingly exhaustively) shows: Fuentes has been making the rounds lately. All the right-wing grifters and shitheels have had him on—they are fully on board with the sentiment. This is precisely what 4chan circa 2016 hath wrought: the old guys are still “hiding their power level” but the young republicans are out and proud nazis. This is just Tucker tapping into that base. For money.
As bleak as all that is, I still hold on to hope that there are enough of us who have resisted the brainrot and redpill propaganda enough to see these goofy assholes for what they are. Because listening to what they have to say should be a potent vaccine against their ideas. If you’ve got even a shred of humanity left in you.
