People who are the butt of such jokes have an innate tendency to agree and pretend it’s not about them because they’re one of the good ones. It’s sad but that’s basically the same thing happening with the white people the Nazis deemed weren’t pure enough, or the whites the early US settlers used to hate on. In another time, JD Vance would have been too Irish to be Trumps VP. That’s what this whole ideology is based on, there’s no fixed in group, the out group target is always changing.
This is stupid, the only winning move is to ignore this dumb shit and just vote for progressive politicians who actually care about their constituents
The 1% don’t want to pay taxes or fair wages, somebody else’s race isn’t what’s causing that.
The culture war is all bullshit and distraction, the only thing that matters is taxing the richest and putting that money towards creating less fragile and sustainable communities and economies.
The only cringe I think is real when someone does something entitled, like “let me speak to your manager” type stuff. I hate the term Karen, tho
In a way he’s right, but it depends! If you take even a common example like Chat GPT or the native object detection used in iPhone cameras, you’d see that there’s a lot of cool stuff already enabled by our current way of building these tools. The limitation right now, I think, is reacting to new information or scenarios which a model isn’t trained on, which is where all the current systems break. Humans do well in new scenarios based on their cognitive flexibility, and at least I am unaware of a good framework for instilling cognitive flexibility in machines.
I agree, I was on the fence about the meme but it was wholesome and in the right spirit 😊
New game, guess how many drugs comic artist was on for each comic. I am guessing 5, one for each panel and then a reward for finishing the comic
Not criticizing lol, the comic is hilarious
Well this is why civil society is impt, it keeps autocrats in check and prevents people from killing each other, rich or poor alike
Republican voters and voting against policies in their favor, name a more iconic duo.
I agree that Dems need to favor small businesses more, I think it just means taxing at higher income levels to create more revenue for grants and funding.
That’s…wishful thinking. It’s never “over”, you have to keep vigilant and keep moving for progressive change where needed, or stabilize where not. People who want to centralize power and authority never “rest”, democracy and freedoms are always up for grabs
We have heard much about the puzzle that US economic performance under President Joe Biden has been much stronger than voters perceive it to be. But the current episode is just one instance of a bigger historical puzzle: the US economy has since World War II consistently done better under Democrat...
Reposting because the last one got auto-mod removed 😭
Summary is basically that Republican presidents have historically been worse for the economy! How the hell do people believe the opposite!?
Previous thread got restored! Thanks !jordanlund 🫡

People need to get out and vote!
The storm spared Tampa, but flooded streets and homes throughout western Florida. Power outages were widespread, and deaths have been reported from severe weather.
Some reports say 9 dead. I saw somewhere that 72 was the max number of tornadoes within a short time period. Anyone know if these tornadoes are setting a record?
Democrats and Republicans have different economic views and different ideas about what's best for growth. Which party has boosted the economy more?
All the racist stuff and culture war BS is a distraction. Economists studied the data and found republicans are bad for the economy, which is what everyone who’s lives through their policies would tell you. They help out their wealthy donors, which is why they get the “good for economy” label but that’s a lie and myth.
> Many analyses look at which party is best for the economy. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Democratic presidents since World War II have performed much better than Republicans. On average, Democratic presidents grew the economy by 4.4% each year versus 2.5% for Republicans.
Republicans are just bad at running the country on so many levels.
Walz has said he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen crackdown, but now concedes he misspoke
Funny how some people will pretend this is a deal breaker while they lie to themselves everyday that Trump is a fit for office
