Honestly, one of the many damning things about Hollywood is that she has a career at all. She straight up can't act. It's not even that she acts poorly - she's so devoid of personality that she can't emote on screen. Hell, even in the Hot Ones interview she seemed to be merely going through the motions of reacting. I don't usually care about claims of someone just being a nepobaby, but in her case I can't imagine anyone would know who she is if it weren't for who her parents are.

What a fucking waste of resources

I think a lot of it is that he spends much more strategically and with lots of strings attached. He also does a lot of work to basically indoctrinate folks who aren't big players and fund them until they are - JD Vance being a prime example. He's basically developed into a cult leader for rich wannabes and ends up owning their asses.

Just a suggestion - don't say you "created" something when you then go on to say you had AI do it for you.

Ha! Was curious and just checked - they recently banned me from the same communities. I certainly don't go looking for AI stuff to downvote but probably have done so a couple times if I see it in /all and it's egregiously bad. Guess that was too much for them.

Imagine being so incredibly fragile that you ban folks because they downvoted a post on a site where karma doesn't exist and you had an AI create the content you posted.

I think as more people get sick of AI bullshit, the cheerleaders are seeing the reaction and thinking it's some dark conspiracy when it's just folks saying "Hmm, that's kinda crappy, isn't?"

That was the one that came immediately to mind for me - there was a behind the scenes thing where he talked about sourcing and using these very niche old lenses.

What I don't get about this is that a gallon of distilled water is like .99 cents at your local grocery store in the US. This is not a huge problem to acquire safe water to do this.

It's like every company in the world just hired the world's most incompetent intern, won't fire them after multiple mistakes, and we're all supposed to put up with it.

Can't wait for someone to rely on AI to update food allergen info on a product! 🙄

Like all of his fanboys, you first attempted to minimize his history by saying it was all about him saying the "N" word. When I said it was actually more than that and provided info about the most egregious example, you said "oh, that was so long ago!". I provide info on another incident from 3 years ago, and you're complaining about how I'm trying to castrate the guy.

If you don't like factual statements about his history of behavior and the obvious patterns, maybe don't idolize an asshole? But don't come into public spaces and try and sell it as "Oh, he just said a naughty word once. Isn't weird how upset people were about that? He was young/it was a long time ago/he's changed now."

Yeah, because there hasn't been anything since then, right?

Or does the counter automatically get reset every time there's another apology video? There have been so many, after all.

The lengths some of you all go to in order to defend a racist, Nazi-cosplaying edgelord who makes fun of people with disabilities is a little insane.

"Kjellberg tacitly compares himself to Hitler, gives a Nazi salute, and shows a series of clips of Nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler Youth."

Yeah, if you don't see "nazi" after that, that's on you I think.

 

Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and Congressman Don Beyer (VA-08) renewed their efforts to bring ranked choice voting to U.S. congressional elections, reintroducing their *Ranked Choice Voting Act *. Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) is introducing companion legislation in the Senate. 

The legislation would require ranked choice voting (RCV) in all congressional primary and general elections starting in 2028, allowing voters to express support for multiple candidates for public office, with the candidate receiving the most votes declared the winner.

 

“Asked how many members of the House of Reps there were, Stein guessed 600-some before hosts corrected her.”

 

"According to FEC filings, the Synapse Group has worked for Republican Governor Doug Burgum of North Dakota, who ran for the GOP presidential nomination this cycle, as well as GOP candidates for Congress. Synapse has also been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for field and canvassing work by America PAC, the outside spending group started by allies of Musk that has spent millions of dollars this election cycle to boost Trump and oppose Democrats."

 

A group called “Lion of Judah,” led by self-described Republican opposition researcher Joshua Standifer, is traveling the nation to recruit Christians to “key positions of influence in government like Election Workers.”

 

In light of at least someone around here announcing that they were switching from supporting the Green Party to the Socialist Worker Party, I thought it would be helpful to provide an introduction to the kinds of things that party believes in. This is offered straight from the party's official website without additional comment and it stands to reason that this viewpoint is endorsed by their presidential candidate Rachele Fruit.

 
 

Robert Reich articulated something that has been bouncing around my head since 2016

 

”This helps take away votes from Joe Biden,” the activist told one person at the rally, according to a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) by a Washington Post reporter. “We’re helping the Trump team who’s trying to get him on there,” added a woman by his side.
