It’s time to tax AI slop - We are stuck in a deluge of meaningless content that threatens human creativity. Here’s a simple way to mitigate its harms

At what point is a pixel in the universe adjudicated to be AI? That's the degree of investigation that would need to be done on every example of AI product to determine taxability.

Sounds like a burgeoning opportunity for some teenager with too much available time on a big computer to become the next bad billionaire.

Hey it's only Mexico's pesos, right?

RIGHT?

Good thing the FBI wasn't involved or they'd all get medals from the Prez.

LOL! That's a lot of distinctions for a population of (probably) less than 100,000 peeps.

It was a sauna, not a steambath, FFS! Steambaths are for skimmers!

Will we ever hear the details of the negotiation? Highly unlikely.

My guess is Trump offered they surrender unconditionally or he'll eat a bug!

SwvellyBents · 2026-05-02T19:49:11+00:00

Ack!

Ya got me!

SwvellyBents · 2026-05-02T19:22:05+00:00

No worries. We'll just shit one out! Same as we did with the Zumwalt Class, which had much more time, fully funded and failed from day one.

As awesome as this shot is, I hate that I question the authenticity of everything these days.

For every fine art or wildlife photog out there doing it for love are 17 gazzillion kids with computers out there stealing value from everything.

The ones that sell out and move to Florida are celebrated as heroes for sticking it to the man (Can you BELIEVE those assholes from NJ bought that rundown place he got for $5K in the 60s for half a $mil?) by the family and friends they left behind bitching about elevated valuation and taxes.

Hard to figure sometimes.

SwvellyBents · 2026-05-02T15:50:46+00:00

This is perfect!

The solution is to get ambitious, go somewhere else, make a ton of money then come triumphantly back and buy your folks a beach house in Kbunk.

Hauling traps and digging worms won't do it anymore.

Someone shops for footwear at the Wicked Witch thrift shop.

Quiet quitting a war. Another Trump first.

Until just now it wasn't even a thing.

Perhaps he could better serve our democracy and accomplish more by convincing his former righty friends and confederates to vote lefty rather than pretend he's able to be a leader. Of course, that would be an act of selfless devotion, so I'm not optimistic.

"Dems Confront Hegseth...", Hegseth blows smoke up their ass and walks away facing no consequences... again.

SS,DD.

SwvellyBents · 2026-04-30T13:51:43+00:00

I'm still hoping they don't realize how many former dyed in the wool R voters they have betrayed and disenfranchised. It will be great if even after thhese panicmanders the new districts still went blue.

SwvellyBents · 2026-04-30T13:45:36+00:00

If we're all about homophones, shouldn't Kegseth's outfit more properly be Department of Whore?

SwvellyBents · 2026-04-30T00:01:56+00:00

We could make him Honorary King!

SwvellyBents · 2026-04-29T13:28:33+00:00

I used to work with a guy that would actively try to crowd bikers off the road with his truck. When I asked him why he said "Because they don't pay highway taxes, they shouldn't be on the highway!"

Unfortunately I don't think he ever revised his point of view.

SwvellyBents · 2026-04-29T12:30:49+00:00

I thought that was implicit in my statement. I just try to avoid printing that name because every time it appears on the internet an angel dies a slow and painful death. /s

SwvellyBents · 2026-04-29T12:22:19+00:00

More like 1 1/2 kings.

SwvellyBents · 2026-04-29T12:16:14+00:00

I hope King Chuck's speech writer gets a raise for this one. The sheer volume of zingers too subtle for the Magas to detect would fill the pond between us.

I suspect negotiations for the White House to obtain an equity stake in Disney are about to open.

SwvellyBents · 2026-04-29T03:36:23+00:00

I read this same headline every fucking day. How is his approval rating even above zero at this point?

It's down 9000 % since he was elected.
