  • My last raise was by $1 / hour. Accounting for inflation, even with the raise, I'm making $3 / hour less than I was when I last got a raise. I'm working for a little mom and pop business and they are good people, but they cannot do basic economic math.

  • What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets.

  • TIL cows can suffer from fatal bloated stomachs. A way of treating it is by puncture and burning the released methane gas (to determine how much is remaining).

  • Which makes for a much more dramatic-looking jet of flame when you light it.

  • To be fair, if a technology was going to disassemble me down to a subatomic scale and reassemble me somewhere else, I'd want the atmospheric and ship's systems conditions to be absolutely perfect, too.

  • I actually think the "it's soulless... FOR NOW" panel is pretty important.

    People who believe in the value of human creativity have been pretty casual about saying that AI generated work isn't as good as work created by a person, but what happens if in another iteration or two it actually CAN produce "good" "art"? Like, what happens if it's cranking out screenplays and paintings that DO pass muster? We've got to be prepared for that possibility, and try to act now to make sure that our world is structured around preserving human dignity on its own merits. The existence of a faster work-doing machine shouldn't necessitate that all human workers must now starve.

  • DEMS PULL UPSET ON EPSTEIN FILES: Democrats dropped an 11th-hour motion at an unrelated hearing after noticing that most GOP members on the panel had publicly demanded the files be released.

  • I'm not convinced it can be anyone. Trump is a remarkable combination of horrible, stupid, and snake-oil-salesman charismatic. Anyone less stupid, and the base can tell that he's just pretending to be like them, and they don't like it. Anyone less charismatic can't sell the con. Anyone less horrible would actually be less horrible, so that'd actually be better for all of us, but again I think then the base would turn on them for being insufficiently horrible.

    About the only one I can think of on the public stage right now who checks all those boxes is Marjorie Taylor Greene, and she's a wOmAn, which also disqualifies her for a good chunk of the Trump base.

    But then again, this is the stupidest timeline, so for all I know they'll just decide that Ron DeSantis is their new god when Trump finally exits the scene and deny that they ever hated Ron's stupid fucking guts.

  • I know they meant "worst" in the sense of "bad at math," but now I'm imagining the world's worst mathematician trying to figure out how to use math to commit ethic cleansing or poison water supplies or make pugs' noses even more fucked up or something.
