  • She body slammed one and threw the rest off the prison roof like when Undertaker threw Mankind off the cage in that Hell in the Cell match.

    “God almighty! God almighty! As God as my witness, he is broken in half!”

  • They released some body cam footage but it doesn’t show that so I’m assuming they aren’t releasing the video of the ICE agent getting body slammed by a Congressperson because it’s rad as fuck and that Congressperson would instantly be named Speaker of the House, Smack Down Champion, and a Cardinal by Chicago Pope regardless of their faith tradition.

    Or maybe it just didn’t actually happen.

  • I would hope people who spend or spent their career at the J. Edgar Hoover Building take the values of seriousness and professionalism seriously.

    For the record, I’m not saying junior level agents or specialists or whatever get a choice of what DC building they work in. But people with influence need to change the fucking name of the building. Even in this divisive age, I’d like to think we can come together to say J. Edgar Hoover was a piece of actual shit.

  • I live in Louisiana and don’t go to Mississippi unless I have to. One time, LSU was playing Ole Miss and we got a hotel in Memphis. On gameday, some lady came up to me while I was just standing there and said, “T-R-A-S-H trash” and I just responded “You live in Mississippi!”

    Jackson State is cool. Respect to HBCUs thriving despite outright hostility from their dogshit elected officials. And Kingfish Ingram is a badass blues player. Clarksdale has the heritage they should be honoring.

  • Live your best life. We all have bills to pay but If it isn’t the right fit, send out resumes. You owe corporations nothing. And you probably won’t get promoted if you hate your coworkers. You’re better off trying to find a better fit than trying to thrive somewhere that doesn’t match.

    That advice goes to wildlife too. I’m guessing they won’t read this but if you’re a raccoon eating out of restaurant dumpsters, find the best dumpster. They got plenty nowadays.

  • At one job, I changed the default settings in everyone’s calendar to 45 minute meetings instead of an hour and it increased productivity like ten fold. Designers and developers need to have longer meetings sometimes but they don’t need a marketing person or an executive there.

  • I hope they all play amateur sports while the court case plays out.

  • What the fuck are we spying on? You could probably just have a nice lunch with every person in Greenland for less money than it’ll cost to replace that jet that fell off the air craft carrier the other day. And that was the second jet.

    Plus, we have a whole Alaska. We’re not going to lack access to the Northwest Passage. (NB: this is assuming there’s any logic at all. I have no idea why Trump is obsessed with Greenland. It’s probably because the Mercator projection makes it look bigger than it is and his assistants show him maps in the daily briefing or whatever.)

  • I’m not defending Gadaffi’s sanity or competence — his was one of misrule and clown behavior — but come the fuck on.

  • Why are you borrowing like $3,000 a credit hour to use ChatGPT? Take some fucking humanities courses so you don’t grow up to be like Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk challenging each other to an MMA match. This might be your last chance in life to be surrounded by experts and hot people having discussions.

    Being able to use software everyone uses isn’t a marketable skill. Learn some shit. You’re an adult now.

  • Always a good idea to piss off people who can survive in the woods and know how to manage bears.

  • Pretty sure Palantir got the “Keep Americans Divided” contract and not the non-profit radio stations that do Tiny Desk concerts and have to do fundraisers all the time to keep the lights on.

  • One of the great moments of old Twitter was when 5G first came out and famous crazy person Naomi Wolf went to Northern Ireland and said life without 5G felt calm and peaceful like 1970’s Belfast.

  • I had better than 20x20 vision when they gave us eye-tests in high school and I’ve often gotten, “Holy shit, you can read that from here?” I always chose screen space over font-size even on small laptops but I recently had to dial it back a notch for the first time. The optometrists come for us all, eventually.

    My vision still seems fine but it takes longer to adjust and focus. Like I have a digital clock I used to glance at to check the time and now I have to squint for a few seconds and wait. It’s sort of like a phone camera auto-focus where it sorts things out but it used to be immediate.

  • “Orange man bad” is certainly not the left. That’s the moderates. The left is more “unions good” and “Medicare for All” and “tax billionaires” and “Green New Deal.” Stuff like that. It’s a pretty popular agenda with everyone but the donor class.

    And Biden’s enacted policies were not the Green New Deal despite the branding around it. Some aspects were included in the infrastructure bill and the Inflation Reduction Act but, obviously, getting Manchin and Sinema to support anything required fewer progressive priorities and more fundraisers/bribes.

  • It’s actually pretty reliable. It’s left wing, to be sure, but during the BLM protests, for instance, they had actual reporters on the ground and were live-streaming everything. They’re transparent.

    I don’t know where to place it on the “reliable” spectrum. From what I’ve seen, their articles are sourced and edited but live streaming from a chaotic situation is sort of like being a “war correspondent” where it can be impossible to know what’s happening. So, it’s probably important to get more context later as more comes to light. But I’ve never seen them lie deliberately or anything.

    I don’t know the term for it but maybe “guerrilla journalism” or something like that. They’ll send a dude on a skateboard to the middle of a riot while other reporters are in the “press zone” and covering police press conferences or whatever.

  • “Source: News reports” is the funniest part. It’s like submitting a scientific paper and saying your source is “microscopes and shit.”

  • I didn’t think they should use A.I. yet at all. I don’t think the shitty version of machine learning of today is ready for engineering giant explosive things. As someone else pointed out, document management for regulatory filings and stuff is (hopefully) the use case. I don’t care if it’s used in that way.

    Basically, I think today’s “A.I.” should be treated as alpha software. It has a ton of potential but there is a lot left to do, especially on things involving human or even critter life like rocket science, self-driving cars, or military applications where “edge cases” are life or death situations. (I don’t think it should be used for military applications until it’s really fucking mature tech but it’s already apparently being used for that so the cat’s out the bag there.)

  • The article says “starting with mid-level staff” and they clearly don’t know how to do things. If they mean White House literally, low-level staff are probably the only people who do know how to do things right now. I doubt the kitchen workers, cleaning staff, tour guides, etc. are even people to Trump. Even the chef/kitchen staff just probably has to handle state dinners and other events but most days, just make a McDonald’s run or burn a steak.
