  • Might as well just get rid of the first amendment at this point.

    You’re super late to the party. 1A has been a running joke in legal circles since checks notes the Alien and Sedition Acts.

    It’s always been a paper promise. Even when the state isn’t explicitly cracking down on anti-government speech and opposition groups, they’re constantly surveilling and censoring it. Without a meaningful political coalition surrounding the speaker, cops always find an excuse to arrest you for something. And if you can’t lock someone up, well… don’t look to hard into who shot MLK.











  • Enshitification barely allowed these tools to function as advertised for more than a few years.

    They’re already getting siloed behind paywalls, tranched into “unusable trash $TooMuch/mo” and “barely working as intended $WayTooMuch/year”, and porked up with useless ephemeral. The cutting edge stuff - Sora, for instance - gets trashed almost as soon as it is released. The OpenClaw shit just fucks your shit up if you’re not babysitting it constantly. Mythos isn’t even for public consumption. Grok is entirely for CSAM. A bunch of these models are just being turned over to the military, because Pentagon officials know to keep eating that bullshit and never complain.

    What’s the draw anymore? Come use this garbage application that is going to render your job obsolete largely by tanking the overall economy.







  • Artemis II never landed on the moon. It was just a flyby. This makes it more equivalent to Apollo 10 and the famous exchange

    Stafford: “Oh—who did it? … Give me a napkin quick. There’s a turd floating through the air”.

    Young: “I didn’t do it. It ain’t one of mine”.

    Cernan: “I don’t think it’s one of mine”.

    Stafford: “Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away”.

    Cernan (later): “Here’s another goddam turd. What’s the matter with you guys?”
