And here I thought Zelensky lost his chance to take the money and run.

Best polcomp I’ve ever seen.

The standard political compass does some bullshit alchemy where the right half of the chart defines “authoritarian” as wanting to enforce racism, and the left half of the chart defines “authoritarian” as central planning.

The new Mega Man will be a banger, then shortly after they’ll release another one that’s 80% as good, then shortly after another one that’s 80% as good as that, etc.

The bourgeoisie news and economists won’t call it a recession until the stock market falters. If the big number stays high enough, we could “not a recession” all the way through the next Great Depression.

$70 billion and they couldn’t figure out how to hire, like, three furries.

There’s games for birds!?

Dear FBI agent: I’m terrible at skateboarding and can’t even do a kick flip. For this reason it would be wildly inaccurate to call me “extreme,” let alone “radical.”

I’m into this if and only if the treat it like a serious sports movie, but the robots look exactly as brightly colored and goofy as the toy.

There’s better body plans for pretty much any specific task, but a lot of these companies are trying to make mass market robots for domestic chores. And a human body plan is the only one that everyone’s house is designed to work with.

We need to ban youtubers from using the word “brief” until we find out what the hell is going on.

All sexual pathology is politics.

ChatGPT was three years ago! Dall-E was four years ago! Shoehorning image and text generators into all your products in 2025 isn’t even technologically impressive!

The debt becomes a permanent leash around the country as neoliberal institutions suck it dry, and/or Russia agrees to take on a portion of the debt in exchange for annexing more of the territory.

The latter is better for everybody involved, but who knows if all the stakeholders are ideologically ready for that sort of deal.

I don’t think he does know. The time to take the money and run was a long way back. I think he bought into his own hype.
