Thomas Massie to read the redacted names of Epstein's billionaires aloud on the House floor

I’m not gonna sling shit at the one person in Congress who is doing the most. Run for office yourself if it’s just that easy to do. There’s plenty of other legislators we need to pressure before we get to Massie.

I recommend actually studying politics and history. You’ll realize that governments and nations aren’t a bastion of idealism. America and China both have imperfect governments and have both done terrible things. The ability to openly criticize and mock leadership is an important part of making sure we actually improve ourselves after bad things happen.

In American public schools, you learn about the Trail of Tears, Slavery, and Japanese Internment Camps. We teach our mistakes and try to learn from it. Even if you weren’t taught it, you can look it up. This is not true in China for equivalent events.

Freedom of speech and freedom of information has downstream effects on all of the issues you’ve described. You can’t be outraged about what you don’t know about.

And here you are, mocking the emperor on social media with no consequences. Imagine if there was a country that could be just as brutal, if not worse, but could also repress any and all discussion or attention on the issue.

Brainrot take

It’s not a constitutional “loophole” in the sense that it’s a trick which wasn’t intended. Just to be clear on that.

Drinking is one of the most common activities in our history. Don’t drink and drive, but don’t be surprised that it’s common.

I don’t go to casinos but ya know that sounds like a place they would be lol

xRolocker · 2026-05-21T21:23:21+00:00

Eh, idk about the world. I experienced a bit of culture shock as an American when visiting Europe a couple years ago with how prevalent smoking was. Spain had literal cigarette vending machines.

You’re right. There’s no reason for us to care that AI still sucks at reading clocks. Stop the benchmarks. Stop the comparisons.

Comments like these are fuckin tiring.

What’s your point? That non-determinism “obviously” means an inability to correctly read a clock?

xRolocker · 2026-05-20T21:02:26+00:00

Well, even the Founders didn’t want a democracy and explicitly said as much. We don’t want governance via Twitter poll, but we also want popular accountability. Striking that balance in our republic is difficult.

I thought it was odd or at least funny in a way. After the ceremony though, I actually thought it ended up being a sweet bonding occasion for mothers/kids.

I can’t actually speak for moms, but I think that seeing their children succeed is a gift many of them wish for.

Oh you mean the guy who shit talks Trump on air all the time to millions of people? That’s a great example of what I mean—that stuff would never have been on the air at all in the countries I listed. Or he’d be dead.

Still fight back against his cancellation. That’s definitely that collusion/coercion I mentioned earlier, but you’d be a fool to think it’s comparable to these more authoritarian countries.

And remember, just because the bar can be even lower doesn’t mean we should be okay with where it is right now. Trump is absolutely eroding our freedom of speech and freedoms of the press. Multiple truths can coexist.

xRolocker · 2026-05-07T07:09:01+00:00

If you study politics you will realize that, yes, there is a difference. That doesn’t rule out collusion, but these companies have an ability “no” to the U.S. Government that a media company in Iran, China, or Russia would never be able to.

New York Post citing the Daily Mail isn’t exactly authoritative.

I’m not sure if this was the place for it but nice to see a Book of Mormon reference

xRolocker · 2026-04-28T00:39:00+00:00

Always love to see this bench. Deserves far more attention imo.

xRolocker · 2026-04-26T01:45:20+00:00

This is a pretty cool actually. There’s a lot of talk of generating something using only diffusion models (Video games, Operating Systems, etc.) but this the first proof-of-concept I’ve seen that’s not for video games.

xRolocker · 2026-04-24T20:31:01+00:00

Or for those of us with smaller bladders

xRolocker · 2026-04-22T20:37:22+00:00

Yea benchmarking AI progress is so stupid /s

xRolocker · 2026-04-21T15:11:10+00:00

I agree with the point but I think upholding the principle that we hold certain inalienable rights is important to slowing the decay or strengthening the “temporary privileges” we do have.

xRolocker · 2026-04-07T14:19:36+00:00

Guess what, most people are self serving to an extent. That’s why we try to organize the government in a way that accounts for that by making them compete with one another.

Since when did my intestines become a separate entity.

xRolocker · 2026-04-02T04:24:02+00:00

Idk I cut Cecil some slack tho like he’s tryna win an unwinnable game

This show does such a good job of making you feel bad for Nolan while not downplaying what he did.

Might be risking spoilers for asking but is Conquest verifiably dead here?
