One of the most brilliant military minds of all time to be sure, but also underrated as a reformer at home.  He never knew when to stop, but there’s no denying his genius.

It also says something that when he escaped from his first exile, the army sent to arrest him immediately switched sides and helped him take Paris.

How do you know she wasn’t raped? Maybe she didn’t get pregnant by choice...

Dickwagging: the last refuge of the completely incompetent.

What does that matter? The girl didn’t want to be pregnant

Those “conservatives” love to whine they’re being censored, because they refuse to accept that most people truly don’t want to spend their time on social media scrolling through their slurs. What they call “the narrative they want you to believe” is preferable to their stream of false information that has translated…

I bet the Saudis are quite happy. I believe they are buying up the Twitter debt cheap on the secondary market so it isn’t really costing them much and they get to influence American Social Media which can be a very powerful tool. That’s what they really want. Maybe they will use that foot in the door to buy Tribune…

Musk would’ve been a terrible option too. The thing about Lex Luthor is that he is actually a super genius, whereas Musk is... well, decidedly not.

I will admit, I drank the kool aid. I didn’t know much about him, but what I did know was 1) making electric vehicles 2) real life Tony Stark. What’s there not to like?

If Threads ultimately does become a way to drive news and content beyond Instagram, then I could definitely see it dealing a mortal blow to Twitter. It just needs to siphon off enough power users such that more advertisers abandon the site along with what’s left of the influencers on there, so that even the blue-check…

The bar is down in the Marianas Trench; Zuck manages to clear it simply by standing on the shore and only falling over once a week.

While both OpenAI and Meta make mention that they do not train on copyrighted material... In an exhibit from the author’s lawsuit, the plaintiffs asked ChatGPT to recite excerpts from Silverman’s book The Bedwetter, to which it relayed passages from the memoir verbatim.

Musk has also threatened to sue Meta citing the long established and recognized legal precidents of  “It’s not fair”, “Sour Grapes” and “How dare you?”

Basically, in addition to all its other faults, Batman v. Superman picked the wrong tech billionaire to model its Lex Luthor on.

It is truly a bizarre set of events that has occurred that makes Mark Zuckerberg the more likable of two alternatives.  He’s weird and off-putting, sure, but he’s not “the world’s most divorced man”, “the world’s tenderest billionaire”, or “someone who spends all day chasing clout from the alt-right teens.”

A friend of mine saw this and recommended it. I had never heard of it, so I looked it up and yeah, I pretty much both immediately assumed it was pizza-adjacent in a non-Ninja Turtles way and that I should reconsider whether or not my friendship with said friend was doomed.

The current distributor are a bunch of god-botherers, too, so fuck this thing.

it’s not like child sex trafficking isn’t a real problem that exists.

In third place, we have a… particularly interesting newcomer in Sound Of Freedom, the new film from Angel Studios that is, at the very least, thematically QAnon-friendly
