  • Wearing a tie can reduce blood flow to the brain by 7.5 per cent, make you feel dizzy and give you headaches

    Jump

  • Just keep the last top button unbuttoned, and hide it with the knot.

    I never want to wear a tie, but it's not hard to keep it just loose enough where it's not outright uncomfortable.

  • A “QuitGPT” campaign is urging people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions

    Jump

  • I sure hope some dirty peasant doesn't figure out which specific types of queries cost OpenAI the most per request, and then create a script to repeatedly run those queries on free accounts.

    That would be terrible.

  • ICE List: the small European website exposing US immigration agents

    Jump

  • Trump has a plan to steal the midterms. It will probably fail. The nightmare scenario for American democracy is no longer unthinkable.

    Jump

  • Governors need to call up their national guard, and place them around their state's vulnerable election infrastructure, with orders to prevent illegal interference in their local elections.

    ICE can probably outman and outgun any local police department, outside of major ones like NYPD or LAPD, but not the national guard.

    Trump would be forced to bring in the actual military to steal the election by force. At that point, he either has the support for a coup, or he doesn't.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • Best I can do is offer you a choice between a candidate who's a devout Zionist, but a Democrat, and a candidate who's actually anti-semitic, but is being blackmailed by Israel, so their policies are even more Zionist.

  • The top comment is calling this post left splitting, and implying that this type criticism is dangerous/nefarious.

    And that's the comment I was responding to.

  • What are you talking about?

    The Democrats ran the centrist (again), and vote blue no matter who was the mantra everywhere I looked.

    The voters that didn't fail Kamala.

    The voters didn't fail the Democratic party.

    Kamla and the Democratic party failed the voters.

  • Vote blue no matter who?

    I'm old enough to have seen that tried many times now, and look where we're at.

    I think it's time for something different, and we can start by not championing centrists, or attacking/shaming people on the left who do criticize them.

  • To the Democratic party, big tent politics means right-wing politics, and if you don't know that by now, I'm not sure what to tell you.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • Allowing criticism from the left and recognizing that American centrists are right-wingers by another name, no matter their party affiliation.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • Because big tent politics and capitulating to centrist/right-wing Democrats has worked out so well for us.

  • 'Take the vaccine, please,' a top US health official says in an appeal as measles cases rise

    Jump

  • I remember when former GOP Senate Majority Leader, and heart surgeon, Bill Frist went on Bill Maher sometime around the late 2000s, or early 2010s, and they were discussing vaccines.

    Bill Maher, being the shithead that he is, was voicing his vaccine skepticism even then.

    Bill Frist, whom I'm loathe to give praise to, turned away from Maher, looked directly in the camera and said that vaccines were safe and encouraged everyone to get vaccinated.

  • Nice try government, but this free thinker isn't fooled so easily.

  • Newsom Declares Super Bowl Sunday to Be ‘Bad Bunny Day’ in California, Trolls Kid Rock for Being ‘Banned’ in State

    Jump

  • Epstein targeted swaggerless losers with lots of money and/or power.

    You can say a lot of bad things about Gavin Newsom, and I encourage you to, he's a soulless leech funded by private equity, but the man has game.

    You would be hard-pressed to find a cougar or MILF in the California political scene that he hasn't run through.

    I'm not saying he never fucked underage girls, because I don't know that, I just know that he wouldn't of needed Epstein's help to do so.

  • Four dead and three receive liver transplants after eating death cap mushrooms in California

    Jump

  • Foraging for mushrooms is one of those activities where the risks far outweigh the rewards, at least to me.

  • Amazon Spent $22.4 Billion on Content in 2025

    Jump

  • And I used to pay them money for it, but cancelled as soon as they rolled out ads into my existing plan.

    If they had introduced ads into a cheaper tier, I would have bitched and moaned, but still kept paying for Prime.

    Instead, Amazon gets no money from me, and I still get their content, ad-free.

  • Disney Bet Big on Streaming, and the Numbers Show It Losing Ground to Netflix and YouTube

    Jump

  • It probably good for kids.

    But I would take Peacock or Paramount Plus over Disney+, and they're both pretty shit.

    Starz is the only streaming service I've used that was worse than Disney+.

  • Brandon Sanderson is taking notes from Tolkien and Game of Thrones for The Stormlight Archive TV Series

    Jump

  • Ugh. this insufferable asshole couldn't word his way out of a wet paper sack

    Maybe not, but he could write his way out of one.

  • Why Darren Aronofsky thought an AI-generated historical docudrama was a good idea

    Jump

  • He was paid a significant amount of money by entities with a vested interest in replacing actors with AI.

    They're trying to normalize this, and needed some big names to help get people used to this slop replacing real actors.

    I will never watch another one of his projects again, and I hope others do the same.
