The only way you can take a republic country like the United States and turn it into an authoritarian country is by causing chaos on purpose and then saying, 'hey look, government is a mess. You need us, the authoritarian country, to rule you.' It's insane.

Demanding you accept as true things you can plainly see are not is part of the authoritarian playbook. This is not a gaffe, by Johnson or the network or the camera operator. This is an intentional display of power and an implicit demand for submission.
The proper response _is_ to laugh at them. 😂😂😂

Well, that’s horrifying, but obvious once stated.
Compared to nukes, tech shutdowns are *amazing*. Thanks to Big Tech, America - and *only* America - can brick almost any country on earth, shutting down its administration, agriculture and industry without firing a single shot.

It’s pretty blackpilling that Republicans are actively trying their best to destroy the world and the biggest media outlets in the U.S. (in some cases owned by said Republicans) are making shit up about progressives instead of covering it. We need to replace that whole media ecosystem

AI is a normal tech. That means there are times when it is useful and times when it is pointless or actively harmful. One rule of thumb for chatbots is that they can only provide useful information to experts who have the discernment to ignore the defective output that LLMs *always* emit.

Thank goodness my drinks are free
Cause I’m ordering shots, just, like, so many shots
For there’s something I need to unsee

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
His white teeth make a musical din
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands
And your hair’s copper strands
Give unbearable insult to god
