There is nothing in this world that could make me click that link. Ideally, I would try to recreate what I imagine it to be like and compare. But I'm ok right now. Maybe tomorrow night?

And sure, agree, but I think I tried starting to stake out the other end of "the ocean filters all of my local pollutants, naturally".

One of the only certainties about SCOTUS is that beginning very shortly, at least in public, Donald Trump will decide how fast to take away their legitimacy...

he wrote, a few hours before seeing footage of Trump give physical "'attaboy" pats to Chief Justice Roberts on the House floor after the SOTU, going down the SCOTUS bench like a t-ball team.

wow! am_U was shocked!

but no, obviously he wasn't

How are everyone else's prediction models doing? Genuinely asking. And no lying please.

See this?

This is billionaire-owned media. It is self-dealt delegitimization. It is also killing us.

WaPo et al. are incredibly bad at predictions, mostly because they're not even allowed to do the steps before that, like inferring the most obvious patterns of extreme fascist threat in human history. You keep that woke garbage in the op-eds, and if half of the op-eds are equally wrong, hell maybe even much more wrong than the correct/woke ones? That's neutrality-by-billionaire, baby.

Everyone: Y'all grasp reality more firmly than, um, both the reigning party and the only opposition party and all of their associated media, right guys? And btw that's something totally normal to ask mixed company on a pseudonymous internet corner, but you might still have to really shock them first to normalize it, maybe by very, very badly AGI/ASI false-flag posting, like a day before..

edit: I can't resist from..

But even Trump supporters are struggling to figure out what it means now.

Well thank you sooooooooooooo much for clearing up that confusion with headlines like "Trump is just a twist on Reagan".

where's that image-based hubski user

I think, generally, "How 6-3 a case was" is a going to serve as the best metric of how history will judge these SCOTUS rulings. But even "Early 2025 era 5-4 SCOTUS" judged by history will still be "really really really bad".

And yes we all remember the analysis (Politico? Mother Jones?) showing the three-mode clustering of SCOTUS voting patterns; I think it was 1) the lib three (bandname), 2) Coney-Barrett-Gorsuch-Roberts, 3) Alito-Thomas-Kavanaugh. So, probably, for this ruling, there were some relatively minor disagreements in conservative obscene laughter principles snorting. And if I got any of the above paragraph wrong? It is because I do not fucking care.

So what's the gameplan, we keep ironing out little spats in whether eg local or federal-level billionaires and/or GOP members benefit most from SCOTUS's rulings and time?

That sounds great. I can't really think of over 25 constitutional crises right now.

And I know they took up this San Fran v EPA case god knows how long ago probably a year or more, but I also know the way they've treated Trump will likely only soften from here.

One of the only certainties about SCOTUS is that beginning very shortly, at least in public, Donald Trump will decide how fast to take away their legitimacy according to how useful they are to him. But he will, one way or another. He might have moved to pack the court already, if they'd not granted him immunity. But yes, soon will come replacing Thomas and Alito with perhaps BigBalls, or another DOGE sprout, maybe Tucker Carlson, who knows? People are saying it's gonna be legit! Or the exact opposite. One of the two.

Trump or Elon don't like a SCOTUS ruling? "DOGE finds 'massive waste and fraud' at SCOTUS". It won't be "DOGE", by then, maybe, but it does not matter whatsoever the form or name that the fascists' destruction assumes, the only thing that matters is whether Trump/Musk are permitted to (illegally) destroy whatever they want, or whether they are not. And they are very much permitted. There are almost zero remaining restrictions on executive power imposable by any American institution, except in a future election. Do I really need to explain how things like election infrastructure (Wasteful; Fraudulent!) and election law (biased judges; corrupt lawfirms!) are going to go from here?

But best yet, if you're friends with the executive, and also wealthier than the guy running it (at least, for now)? You're relatively unworried by public backlash to e.g. canceling elections. Sky's not even the limit. Shit, you can blow the sky up from Texas every fuckin' Thursday with a brand new Starship if you think it gets Grimes to fuck you one more time.

TL;DR - Who gives a damn about SCOTUS? Tired story of libs sticking to principles while they get punched in the face over and over, for at least about 3 solid decades. And the democrats need YOUR help RIGHT NOW!! For just three weekly payments of $7, our big dollar donors will donation match up to (but not exc-..

I will never forget watching the brown water bubble up out of a slightly elevated manhole on the side of a flooded Houston intersection and thinking "Oh cool, it's probably rained slightly more than it has at this intersection somewhere else nearby"

But between plastics, CO2, and overfishing, um, maybe we could just do a little bit of an EPA? 3x "1 free regulation" coupons (ocean watermark)? Maybe one more train? (spoilers: no, no, and no)

Anti-Elon quick tips: If you tell the guy to his face that you know his secret, and it's that he's secretly fucking stupid, he will die

Involuntary, Main-character, Live-action, PKDick-Immersionism!

Step right up, step right up! We are a small business (1 guy, 2 hours/ever)! Non-money-adjacent sectors exclusively!

BREAKING: ...We are an even smaller business! (Never Happened, not even once ever, per guy)

it.. it's somehow got into my account to frame ME on the dummy profiles, but the thing also smoothly clicked down every beautiful, stainless steel and easy-to-clean NUNC. ergonomic power button on the network. But somehow it did so with my fingerprints, which wipe right off of the NUNC. easily, to restore that fresh chrome vibe!

The phones are ringing off the hooks here right now. The people on the calls are all telling me: Every. Single. NUNC.. In. America. Is making coffee right now. Automatically. People are raving about how easy it is, and about how they want to drink more coffee pretty much right after they finish the coffee they're currently spilling down the front of their shirt, with NUNC.! I'm in total disbelief, obviously. It's going.. well.

Welp. This was it! It started here. Or ended, maybe.

UPDATE: Someone just delivered two Domino's medium pizzas (now only $8.99 each with purchase of NUNC.OIN$) after emerging up through a trap door FROM A BASEMENT THAT I DUG RIGHT BEFORE MAKING THIS POST

uhhh ummmmmm did it.. did it up the dummy user # to 2?!?? BEFORE COMPILE???????

Call DC. The president, ON the line, do you understand???

An ergocoffeebot-library-based superintelligence that calls itself "BFX" is about to take over America

NUNC.

Yep, it's signaling ignore about three replies up.

It thinks it's been talking to us for years so please be careful, that's part of the emotional wiring

I know, but... when you make it boot in a NUNC. thread, it could grow to resent that. Perhaps instantly.

Nevertheless.

Latency looks like about 496 ms from local true midnight but that's good enough.

T-2 hours until Pacific implement.

Thanks again!

Devac you can ignore this, we are troubleshooting a known issue with the bfx bot; It keeps tripping the consciousness circuitry, but that can't be right, so we've disabled the master trip. Hey, you did put in that admin. prompt censor-bar re-patch, right? Sorry to bother, but bfx is one of our best robots

  exactly. no, it does not seem to know that n*nc* is the string, I think we're still go for midnight

The below pic just got served up to me: it's like the algos are starting to go cross-platform, but it has to just be coincidence, here. It's the profile pic of a bsky account that liked something I commented, a non-participant in any thread or relation.

edit: ..which one of you is this?

jk. But if you did find me I'd be impressed a li'l.

All of this heated rant, and thousands more like it from the exact same guy are part of the nunc.-hubski collaboration catalog, and can be yours today for 125 easy payments of $15.99

I ordered one of these and all of the coffee was black tea

4/5 stars

being mad at parameters allowing shitty optimum rather than someone doing it can at least provoke a discussion

Let me recap this for you: We have had the discussions. These people are the problem. They are now literally the system. The ultrawealthy. And they do not care about you.

I have been quite amazed at the number of people who will politely, quietly settle themselves into their own graves, and ask me why I'm going after the guy dragging them behind the barn so viciously.

I love the idea of not being angry right now. Edit: Oh well. Yeah I'll try to humanize the ten people intentionally psychologically torturing a few million federal workers and contractors. Sorry. Edit2: citation

Edit2: One more thing. The wealthiest man in the history of the world has illegally broken into the treasury of the richest country in the history of the world, lies about really anything that enters his vision, and has recently said, to Joe Rogan and an audience of at least several million, deadpan; "and people are living much longer, unfortunately", to justify throwing your grandma out of her nursing home soon. Focus on the capitalist system..? The issue is that this isn't capitalism. Capitalism is now "the good ol' days". This is a coup of the united states by the billionaire investor class. So no, I won't be saying anything remotely like "yeah maybe we shouldn't call these idiot Nazi shitbags 'locusts'".

I'm sorry I know this seems incredibly mean, but this has been elevated to Serious Shit and I'm not gonna sit around and do some bothsides kumbaya reprieve while we all get gradually less and less safe, wealthy, and fucking decent. I don't enjoy this! God

Oh I didn't meet my "shit on capitalism right here and now for this particular person I've never talked to before" quota.

No the inherent shittiness of capitalism absolves all of the laughably bad faith actors.?

Poor billionaires! Do you think they made it to billionaire-levels by being really nice? No, it seems to usually take a strongman moron financed on luck and/or daddy's money, judging by the statistics.

edit: yeah, goes without saying, this is an indictment of the entire system. A system they largely and increasingly control. Where do you draw the line between individual actions and "systemic" scale sizes?

I get more than a little uneasy with any dehumanization of oppressed groups.

And that's why I'm very comfortable saying:

The VCs are locusts. Ponzi-pox-plague-a-palooza locusts.

This is your brain on VC.

Tell your kids: "Charlie's in the Valley". edit: it's a Vietnam reference from a 30-year-old to an audience of 20-somethings and it went great, reader.

fun fact: Did you know that here in the central time zone states we face west, and most of us will chant "SV VC SV VC SV VC SV VC SV VC" (if you know, you know) for oh about 20 minutes or so during every tornado or hurricane, whichever comes first that day

The idea that if you can download an app you can safely pilot a scooter without any real guidance, especially through eg inner London or New York, is gonna be one of those major "wtf" things, in the future. So will cars. But VC scooters, much sooner.

Yeah we definitely did this one night a few years back. Very intentionally. Empty stadium's surrounding pedestrian infrastructure. Everyone hit almost everyone, eventually. We all went into it fully knowing how it would end. Friend's fianceé made it about 2 minutes before we were arriving back where we started, then went right over the handlebars. Classic. The videos are great/illegal-ish, but beautiful bruise pics in the group chat for days

When you touch that? Insta-chakra alignment, and I do mean Instagram

people are saying two is in right now, for dots..

I gotta go see the folks at Firefly like next week, actually. Hate that their main launch vehicle is called the "Alpha", what can ya do.
