Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.
let this be the beginning of the end
Fascism doesn’t voluntarily give up power. There’s no way that scandal brings down the regime. They didn’t install tech bros as officers in the military because they intend to respect the will of the electorate.
LLMs have far more going on than lemmy will admit, and we have far less going on than we think.
Yes and yes and especially yes on the last bit.
People just massively overestimate what goes on in a brain, I think. It’s not magic. Consciousness, experience and understanding feel ineffable but they’re just chemicals and electricity.
There’s no divine and irreproducible spark, no reason that silicon and metal couldn’t produce a system that does everything a brain does.
Here’s the article without the link to reddit: https://www.euronews.com/2025/07/10/armenia-and-azerbaijan-move-closer-to-peace-pushing-russia-out-from-the-south-caucasus
It feels a little overblown to me. My understanding is that Russia spurned Armenia and gave their blessing to Azerbaijan’s defeat of Armenia. So it’s not too surprising that Armenia didn’t want Russia to broker the peace, and Azerbaijan didn’t need them - they won.
There are troubles in Russo-Armenian relations, but there’s no details of Azerbaijan distancing themselves from Russia. If anyone knows more, please let me know.
It’s not leaked, it’s intentionally published on an official substack.
The memo itself is just more lies from christian nationalists. This one is from a catholic who has previously called for ending democracy and having the church take over the state, pretending that he loves the democratic freedoms of places like Hungary and wants to protect them from the evil fascism of anyone left of Hitler.
I have no problem with insulting fascists, bootlickers and other vermin, but a lot of that “inbred … chaw spitting … mullet-wearing six-toed cross-eyed cousin-fucking” stuff doesn’t feel right to me.
Maybe it feels elitist? Like the way he says ‘this is a particularly stupid version of fascism’ is by describing it with images that conjure up stereotypes used against the rural working class. Like you could add the word “peasant” and it wouldn’t look out of place.
Seriously. Patients at my work listen to youtube without an ad blocker and it’s just disgusting.
Today I heard “the most effective weight loss ever, using nothing but water and salt.” Last week it was “Chase, Bank of America and many other banks give out up to $100k with absolutely no credit check. Last year I helped thousands of people secure over $XX million with absolutely no interest.”
Just 100% straight up bullshit. I’m annoyed by low quality ai history videos, sure. But google giving free rein to lying grifters is much worse.
I don’t think that’s how a technofascist surveillance state works. They would know.
opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility … motive is currently unknown.
Man shoots nazis, motive unknown 🤔
Under your system republicans would just send everyone who voted democrat to death camps.
At least with a secret ballot they can only do that to everyone they think voted against them.
This regime is nothing but human trafficking tsars.
This times a million. Nazis say some bullshit while trying to kill your grandma.
They’re part of a cell style right wing
terrorist organization.trump regime.
she was taken to the border at San Ysidro, where she was presented with self-deportation paperwork.
“But when Juli refused to sign the paperwork, when Juli demanded to see a judge, when Juli demanded to speak to an attorney, she was punished,” the attorney said. “She was taken back to an unmarked van along with other travelers who were also insisting on their rights, and taken to a warehouse where she was only given water. A warehouse where she was not given food. A warehouse, where men and women were held together. A warehouse without any law enforcement employee, without any official there present,” he added.
We’re paying for this ethnic cleansing campaign. Tax dollars are going to abducting brown folks at gunpoint.
led crowds in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF” [The BBC said:] “The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable … " [Starmer said:] “appalling hate speech.”
“Free Palestine” is not antisemitic. Criticism of a nation state’s armed forces is not antisemitic. Especially when those armed forces are objectively committing genocide.
America loses
That’s exactly what trump wants.
A bag of big macs congealing on his desk, a victim of sex trafficking in his bed and some news on tv that will make putin happy.
Democratic elite shitting themselves at the prospect of winning an election.
The Democratic establishment is seriously onsidering backing either a corrupt sex offender or a corrupt trump ally over an energetic, charismatic young candidate with a platform that enjoys majority support.
The rich have two parties, people have none.
Their CEO elaborated: “Did I leave your grandma broke and freezing? Did I start a wildfire that burned your entire town? Come at me, please, so I personally watch you shot dead.”
This is a death caused by tech companies’ steadfast refusal to properly moderate their platforms. Humans are social primates and we will always have a strong reaction to our social environment.
This is 100% CBS just cowardly caving in to fascism.
That said, the late night talk show format is baffling to me. I’ve had coworkers who seemed to earnestly enjoy them, but I thought the whole joke of letterman, leno, kimmel etc was to be intentionally unfunny, right? I just do not get it.
