Oh, you don’t actually expect them to pay all that money back, do you? It’s already been spent! 😬

So this is the darkness democracy dies in…

It is! He copied his very own Twitter 🍿

I found this morsel particularly poignant:

"Ironically, Meta expected rights groups to be too busy to step in, given the disastrous geopolitical climate.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads, as quoted by the NYT."

I still 'member when a tweet couldn’t exceed 140 characters 👴

Just for clarification: with these style of posts, am i supposed to read the bottom one first? I can’t remember when these types of posts came into circulation, but I’ve been puzzled about them ever since. It’s like the first/top line is sometimes the punchline, and i feel like i spoiled a joke or story by reading it from top to bottom.

Are you telling me J.D. Vance’s endorsement didn’t secure his victory for him?!?

Thank you! I hit a paywall when i clicked it, so here’s a non-paywall link for anyone else interested in reading it that encounters it as well: https://archive.ph/JzAyQ

❤️❤️❤️ that is a screen that would have put a tremendous smile on my face back in the day. Hell, it perked me up quite a bit just now, lol

Can we get a link to the context for this?

I did that!

This really is what modern tech essentially does most of the time these days: steals and/or cheats. The tech it produces is to aid in stealing/cheating. I mean, LLMs and image-generating AI were loaded up with stolen content in order to function. I still can’t get over that, yet apparently it’s all good, no laws broken–and has been fine this way for years now. Back in the olden days when i went to school, cheating was a punishable offense. Now it’s proof of how ‘clever’ one is. Fucking bullshit from top to bottom.

My presumption is that’s exactly what would happen

With this new trend of journalists using AI to conduct polls without consulting any real people, are we about to enter an age where journalists have AI simply generate an image of the event they’re reporting on so they can save $ on photography?

That’s interesting to consider. Are there still “Army/Navy stores” out there? I’ve never noticed any around me

I find it interesting that everyone expects an artist–someone who makes far less–to continually come up with good ideas or become irrelevant… but fuck-faces like this have one success and never have to come up with anything even remotely good ever again

Vicious circrule

Don’t tell me: they sent him on a donut run 😬
