Silicon Valley has become a cancer on the world. There are too many companies run by greedy, unhinged psychopaths who do not care how their products and services affect the world. It’s not just Thiel’s companies. It’s Meta and Google and Apple and Amazon and Uber and OpenAI.

The only thing Silicon Valley is missing is a series of volcano lairs for their founders and CEOs.

Dude’s out there filing frivolous lawsuits like he’s buying lotto tickets. I guess the other chuds in the cabinet don’t give him the insider stock tips.

At the current rate the Russian army is going, they might advance to central Ukraine by 2039. So I understand the precautions being taken.

When you graduate dead last at a third tier law school, you end up as a prosecutor in HeeHaw, Alabama.

The worst part is that the coked up fish now spend all of their time trying to convince the other fish to invest in their new hedge fund.

A bot filled social media hellscape, where the only advertisers are MAGA branded products and services, gold scams, homeopathic junk and the Pillow crackhead, isn’t worth billions?

I, for one, need to lie down.

The Muppet Line is 25%. Those are the people who are either so partisan, so misinformed or so dumb that there is no helping them.

We should be closer to the Muppet Line.

Knowledge Fight did an episode about Tucker Carlson last week because Jones hasn’t been on the air. Dude’s probably too busy drinking his local Costco out of Kirkland brand vodka to comment on this.

He’s trying to be like his boss. But he doesn’t have the pull to intimidate news outlets and discovery will be the end of this lawsuit.

There are like 50k people who looked at the Cybertruck and thought: “I want to spend $100k on that!”

We shouldn’t be judging the past here.

I had an old BMW. I park in the back of retail parking lots because I don’t see the point in circling lots to find a space that is 40ft closer and you can pull through the spaces. Lots of times I would come out of the store and another BMW would be parked next to mine, like there was some automotive kinship or something. There would be five open spaces, some guy and my car. It was always weird.

Streaming services are the best thing to ever happen to music from a consumer standpoint. You get access to a library of more music than you could listen to in a lifetime, and you’re not dependent on industry gatekeepers like in the days of radio and MTV. You don’t have to shell out money and hope you like more than two songs on the album. Because of that, I’m more adventurous with music than I’ve ever been.

How can we protect ourselves from the terrorists we create with our foreign policy without warrantless surveillance? /s

The dipshits on Fox last night were making hilarious claims. This is the greatest military victory ever. Iran will never be able to rebuild their military.

College Republicans are insufferable losers. Can you imagine the kind of kids who show up for a high school level TPUSA event?

What the article fails to mention is that for many people, the bigger issue is how lobbyist groups can throw dark money behind candidates and get them elected. People want money out of politics.

AIPAC is the most egregious because they are working to funnel tax dollars to a wealthy apartheid state engaging in genocide, but they are just the a part of the problem. People know the Dems are bought and paid for by corporate lobbyists and mega donors and they are sick of it.

The biggest adjustment for Japanese pitchers is typically the schedule, as Nippon Professional Baseball starters usually pitch once a week, while MLB arms are asked to go out every five days. The Astros have so far prevented Imai from having to pitch on less than five days’ rest.

That sounds like the meat of it. Maybe he just doesn’t have the stamina to pitch a MLB schedule.

It is all an act for people like Carlson and Owens. Carlson is much better at disguising his rhetoric in classical liberalism with a layer of “America first”. And Carlson might not be in it for the money as much as Owens is - he genuinely seems to like to create controversies for the sake of watching the world burn - but they are both hacks whose political opinions are dictated by what will get them the most clicks, the largest audience, the most fame, etc. They’re both trying to position themselves for a post-Trump world.

Of the 50 people in that audience, half were shocked by what he said. The other half were trying to remember the lyrics to the Baby Shark song.

My conspiracy theory is that they intentionally made the internet search engines awful to force us to use AI.
