Roboticists are not beating the charges.

A bloodless coup, all smotherings.

“Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That’s not my department”, says Wernher von Braun.

Finally, the machine that jacks you off can be completed! I guess it probably has other uses, idk, I’m not a roboticist.

I’ll take an annoying person excited about what they work on over a person who wakes up every day unsure if they’ll choose the Spring Bean or the bullet today.

The gun feared for its life.

“Yankee eating crackers” is a riff on https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/BEC#English (linked to the abbreviation because I can’t remember if the full form hits the word filter). The rest is about some autistic people reporting a tendency to soak up systematic trivia.

Young people don’t feel guilt about their psychosexual development, anymore, so none of the classic mecha storylines would make sense to them. 🤷

Police are examining footage of a hooded person seen pressing the EPO button at OpenAI’s datacenter. We have received the following image of the suspect’s weapon:

If I were a CEO (and therefore likely a shareholder making more on capital gains than whatever salary I “earn” on the books), I would relish the opportunity to pump the value of my stock with meme hype and then get a sick severance package from the machine I told to “fire” me. Aww, shucks, I sure wish I could keep coming to the office and pretending to work instead of staying home in my million dollar gooncave pursuing my actual passions.

Pretty hard to beat π.

I’m gonna go with 3: ideological commitment does not make you immortal, nor does owning a weapon. For every revolutionary organization that “won”, there were 50 who died in their beds (literally and organizationally). You cannot kill cops with kindness because they will kill you with bullets. How many people in LA are going to die this week because they were handing out soup in the wrong part of town?

Stop being a debate pervert. If the battle is “unwinnable” then what is the struggle? The state monopoly on violence is only empowered when your organization eschews the capacity for violence. You don’t have to start violence, but you damn well need to be able to repel it hard enough that they’ll think twice about a second bite.

So if you want their work to influence your strategy, do some analysis. What do you think they should have done, and what facts tell you that you are on the right track? What do the people in your org think?

What would be the narrative about DPRK if they didn’t have nuclear weapons? In both cases, the empire would say “a bunch of dead slurs”. Political power doesn’t grow out of a bowl of oatmeal no matter how hungry you are.

I was literally in a store called Staples yesterday looking for one of these fuckers and they simply did not have it. Baffling.

Wot if ur mum was her favorite movie?

Also, I will forever hate any content that is “X explained” because holy shit please develop the barest shred of media literacy, consumers of media.

Damn, I hope no one has already started a non-profit for prostate cancer support called Post-Nut Charity.
