Midnight commando raids on apartment buildings in an American city and everybody of any import just kinda shrugs and goes on about their business.

Banging my head against the wall over media silence on this one. It wasn't just a raid, it was an act of terror the way it played out.

 

[Chooch555]

It's all acts of terror. That's been the point from the jump. It lines up with the talk to the generals on Monday.

Was just selling my Thanos off the second Psylocke set.

Regular buyer. Starts bitching about tariffs and how the US has it way better (???), but does say Trump should be stopped for "all the illegal things". He mentions Chicago and Portland and says they're trash fires and they deserve it, and that he hopes Thunberg "dies for being so dumb".

Saw a thing that we are actually 6 months into the recession for America, but it's not actually reflected in the stock markets where people would react to this because the AI bubble is distorting everything for the moment from the ground level.

It's not really my scene so I can't say one way or the other, just thought I'd share.

 

[docsilence]

I have a feeling AI is doing things to distort how things are actually going in ways we're going to be analyzing for decades. It's like if NFTs actually went mainstream.

Also what the actual fuck is this AI video the president shared out this morning... (Don't Fear) the Reaper?
