I recently encountered this song for the first time at the end of an episode of Creature Commandos. It was written near the end of the last Bush administration but it feels more like it was written about our current predicament.

Imagine the giant trucks road raging because you’re in the left lane and only going +20 the speed limit. Or the old creeps hitting on teenagers.

What if we instead imagine the truck drivers politely asking you to move over? What if the ability to communicate freely with other drivers made the experience closer to walking in a crowd. I'm imagining something that allows all vehicles within a certain radius to hear one another so you can communicate with courtesy. I think a lot of road rage stems from our frustrations with our inability to communicate (and be held accountable) by the people around us.

When did they begin transporting ICE by truck? I thought that was just Proud Boys.

I would threaten to not buy any more Halo games but I haven't bought one in like a decade so I recognize there's not much bite there.

I'd say apathy should be interpreted as a vote for the status quo (incumbent) but it's flatly wrong to call it a vote at all.

So you're saying they're Gou'lds, then? Who has Stargate future on their doomsday bingo card?

It seems the only data provided about the demographics and political leanings of the fandom are anecdotal accounts from social media. Do you think it ever occurred to the author that they might just have an algorithm that recognizes their preference for shitty content?

“My fundamental concern … is if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted (as CEO) at some point in the future?” Musk said. “I don’t feel comfortable wielding that robot army if I don’t have at least a strong influence,” he added.

It's great how in either scenario he maintains control of the robot army, but in one he's menacingly uncomfortable.

I can't help but notice that the provider of the AI is omitted from this article. Seems like maybe the most important detail.

I tried to understand this shape but I was not successful so I will upload it for further analysis when I next regenerate after rejoining the collective.

I'm sure they've already burned the books.

 

This guy was on the Belgium float in the NATO parade in Norfolk today. He looks like he was celebrating another holiday too.

 

I love looking at these two.
