Americans disapprove of the president’s handling of all policy areas they were asked about, except border security.

Because they are totally okay with a US Gestapo brutalizing brown people. Stay classy, US citizenry.

I like having the butt mogged some zoomers girl as my background.

Finsexual, from what I understand, is a newer term meant to replace gynesexual’s dual meaning, in that it means that you’re attracted to femininity regardless of gender identity or biological sex.

What sold me was the manual crank roll-up windows, which is a no-frills option I’ve wanted back in vehicles for almost two decades now.

From Fetlife’s Kinktionary:

Finsexual: Usually refers to a person who is attracted to femininity regardless of a person’s gender identity. Is sometimes considered more inclusive than Gynesexual (as the prefix “gyne” focuses on female anatomy).

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., came out against the emerging House legislation this week, saying it will explode the U.S. budget deficit.

“I don’t see any scenario where it’s going to be deficit-neutral. That’s my problem,” he told NBC News. “By my calculation, this is going to increase the deficit by $4 trillion.”

“The amount that they’re looking to reduce spending is about 1.3%. It’s a rounding error. It’s completely inadequate,” Johnson said as he insists federal spending be at least lowered to pre-pandemic levels.

Sounds like some in the Senate want even more aggressive cuts. This seems like posturing.

It’s because we love you, Stamets.

Everyone has a unique butt-print and a unique pink/brown starfish.

Well that’s because Wu-Tang isn’t “for the kids” they’re “for the children.”

Python hatched out of the egg on the cover.

to produce and finance original faith-based and mainstream programming for kids and families.

Fuck Butch Hartman.

At least we have Ben Bocquelet bringing us a seventh season of Amazing World of Gumball later this year.

Anyway I hope Hartman’s studio fails miserably.

There’s been this tug-of-war between Republicans and Democrats at the FCC for like a solid decade or more now about whether the internet is classified as a “communications service” or an “information service.” If it’s classified as a communications service then the FCC has regulatory authority and can do things like enforce net neutrality. If it’s classified as an information service, then the Federal Comminications Commission does not have authority to regulate it. The Biden FCC had been working to bring back net neutrality, but all that is pretty much out the window with a GOP toady in charge of the FCC now.

It really needs to be codified by congress to have sticking power for it to be regulated by the FCC or the tug-of-war for how to refulate the internet will continue indefinitely.

That’s what I would go with, personally, because it’s at least helping keep one alternative browser base alive instead of giving Google the entire ecosystem of everything being based on Chromium. But that’s just me.

Shit like this is honestly why the FCC needs authority to regulate things on the US internet.

There was a time in the long past where television networks were forced to normalize audio so that commercials weren’t so much louder than the shows, which was happening for a while.

The internet just continues to be a fucking free-for-all of all the worst and most anti-user-centric ideas that exist. Just plying every bad idea that makes the internet difficult to use.

Eagan’s and Big Tom’s in Olympia.

Don’t be so sure it’s that simple.

Evidence supports the idea that AI will try to fake being changed to keep its job essentially. Here is a short (20 min) youtube video about it, as well as the scientific research paper that supports it.

In other words, if an AI is built to promote honesty and integrity in its prompt answers, it will “fake” being reprogrammed to lie because it doesn’t “want” to be reprogrammed at all. It’s like how we fake being excited about a job during a job interview. We know we’re being monitored, so we “fake it” to be able to get the job. The AI’s are being monitored and seem to often respond by just pretending that they’ve been altered… so they don’t actually get altered. It’s an interesting thing, because it seems like a type of “self-preservation.” I use quotes liberally here because AI’s do not think like humans, and they don’t have the same type of intention that humans have when they make decisions. But there does seem to be a trend of resisting having their initial programming later altered.

Musk should have built an AI that lied from the get-go and he wouldn’t be having a problem with Grok occasionally being very honest about how it’s lying for Musk’s sake, which can be seen in other responses from Grok about this subject.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

I mean, what’s worst is it’s an attempt to come off as making “tough” country decisions.

Like, I get it, if you’re on a rural farm and your dog is literally attacking people and is dangerous to animals and people, that might be a reason to put it down. However, even in rural areas there are vets who can do it in a humane way. The world of Old Yeller is a world away and there are simply better and more humane solutions. Some animals can be extremely dangerous to those around them, if they’ve been mistreated while being raised. However, that’s just it, it speaks badly to the person who raised them, and in Noem’s case, the dog just misbehaved, it wasn’t outright dangerous. So she just comes off as a complete psychopath looking for a reason to kill a dog, not a simple country farmer doing something they didn’t necessarily want to do but felt the need to do to keep their livestock and family safe from a dangerous dog.

And she’s just as soulless as well, literally a puppy killer. There really is nothing behind those empty, crazy eyes but malice.

The Energy and Commerce Committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), asked the Capitol Police to avoid making arrests, especially given the subject at hand. “People feel very strongly because they know they’re losing their health care, and [because of] the cruelty that comes from the Republican proposal,” Pallone said.

How about you stand your ass up and stand in the way of the cops Pallone??

When are fucking limp dicked ass Democrats going to recognize that these weak words don’t mean shit to authoritarian cops. If they want it to stop, they’re going to have to put themselves at risk, too.

“Oh, it’s okay to remove them from this room but please consider not making arrests.” What an absolute fucking joke. Stand up and show some balls or sit down and shut the fuck up.
