I assume however, because Massie is not an idiot, just a monster, he does understand that doing so will be playing with his literal life. So... I just I dunno mates. I have never had much luck betting on whatever shared ideology we have with libertarians and ancaps. And it's really not much - really basic shit like you "no death camps." It's not much.

Don’t be discouraged when Trump-backed Republican Fascists win primaries. Their opponents are just a wee bit less fascist, and were never going to save U.S. constitutional democracy nor genuinely fight for a better version of it. Whoever the Republican Fascist candidate in the general is, that’s who we have to beat if we can. We have to make Republican Fascists fight for every vote. Convince those not in their camp to show up and vote for whoever is the alternative.

@heidilifeldman they have absolutely killed the goose that laid the golden egg. For just a little more in tax breaks and a little less regulation they’ve squandered the American privilege. It’ll be so much harder to convince poor Americans to fight and die for stupid wars or for people to transact in the markets or for people to generally to trust institutions and process

The fact is tho, Massie can just, say whatever he likes on the floor of Congress. They can't arrest him for that. Now they might, but they can't do it legally - it'll be another overt Hitler act for Trump. Furthermore, if enough ppl reprint what he says, while immune, they probably don't have the resources to prosecute everyone.

So if Massie IS serious? He can hurt Trump now. Or at least galvanize the idea that the only way out is a fight. Just don't bet on fucking ancaps/libertarians man.

I cannot express how much I love this 🥲

@jaz been saying it for years: Mayo is egg sauce.

Salsa de huevo.

@neoluddite @Unixbigot yeah my initial thought was air-time “good-put” reducing the packet loss and retransmissions required, but both on same carrier means this is unlikely.

They're right you know

We don't have to buy this journalist's view of the future as already written by Google. Every time you click through to look at the actual source page you are helping to maintain our information ecosystem and build a better world.

/fin (for now)

Wow some terrible reporting about Google's latest horrible ideas about how to distort information access in the name of "convenience" (or something):

A short thread

For one final shudder: Pichai here seems to want to think this is helping the world somehow? Gah.

NO NO NO NO NO! Flashy polished looking webpages that no one has accountability for run absolutely counter to the common good when it comes to a health information ecosystem AND an informed public.

(Also, "Antigravity"? Yeah, you want us to think this is very cool science fiction and/or magic. Not buying it.)

The comparsion to ChatGPT in the above screencap also really shows the PR origins of this piece. Google is clearly very very concerned about losing their advantage in this market to OpenAI.

More stenography here. Google starting shoving the "AI Overviews" into query results as an opt-out situation. That is, you have to take action to have them not pop up. I don't doubt they are *shown to* 2.5 billion monthly users, but that doesn't mean they are used by as many or desired by them.

@jpm @Unixbigot or some kind of 95% utilisation shenanigans?
