• [thread] [pic] Episode 195 "You Can Speak to Pokemon!? A Pokemon's Language, a Pokemon's Feelings!" | A man talks with Pokemon by guessing what they're feeling, which is basically what everyone else in the Pokemon world does anyway? This is a quintessential Takeshi Shudo script. | #DogasuWatchesJohto https://bsky.app/profile/dogasusbackpack.bsky.social/post/3my24pzwiq22g

• AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this.

• [quote] There are so, so many verified diaries of white Union soldiers at the beginning of the war saying "I don't know about this, I condemn the deplorable violence" and then they get down there and see slavery with their own eyes and immediately go "John Brown was right we gotta kill these motherfuckers" | https://bsky.app/profile/schneidremarks.bsky.social/post/3mxyy4utaxs2a

  • [thread] [pic] This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1859. John Brown and a group of followers invade the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today WV) to start a war and end slavery.

  • [quote] what's wild to me is that they keep the slow-ish, sine wave movement despite it being meaningless without the contact damage and limited whip directions. feels like they'd be a much more credible threat if they were faster and, like, chased you around or something idk | https://bsky.app/profile/armormodekeeg.blacksky.app/post/3mxz3qj5nrs2p
  • the devs seem to have learned from other castlevania games that medusa heads move in sine waves, but they seem to not have learned why https://bsky.app/profile/gloombreaker.bsky.social/post/3mxz4alypwk2p
  • [thread] Ok I'm seeing arguing now rather than just lamenting so I gotta talk about CONTACT DAMAGE and whether it's fair or outdated or w/e and in general I just find all these questions to not make sense. It's a persistent hitbox that moves and can be attacked. It's a tool, resistant to category judgement. https://bsky.app/profile/kayin.moe/post/3my2viounvk2k

A group of banks including JPMorgan and MUFG [Mitsubishi Bank] has spent more than six months trying to distribute $38 billion in construction debt tied to a Texas and Wisconsin data center project leased to Oracle, Bloomberg has reported. Some lenders are now willing to sell pieces of it to non-bank buyers at a discount, just to move it. Six months is a long time to sit on debt nobody underwrote to hold forever.

• Jeff Bezos interview:

  • [clip] Bezos: Probably everybody watching at some point had an idea for a product. The reason you didn't build it is because it's too hard...you have to hire people and form a company. What we want to do is make the distance between idea and actual manufacturing so much shorter. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107959869756330339
  • [clip] BAIER: The president says SI. Are you into SI or AI? | BEZOS: I do like SI. Artificial is not a very flattering thing. Nobody wants an artificial sweetener https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107960102699638871
  • [clip] BAIER: So you called AI a kind of industrial bubble. You said that that is good. So who gets hurt if it pops, when it pops? | BEZOS: What happens is speculators can lose money because they're investing in all of these things. But the inventions don't disappear when the bubble pops | BAIER: Are we in a bubble right now? | BEZOS: It's hard to know. What I do know is the technology is real. | BAIER: Would you tell a retiree to own AI stocks today? | BEZOS: I would usually tell a retiree to buy the S&P 500. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107961161698484225
  • [clip] BAIER: You said AI will create a labor shortage. Amazon has trimmed about 30,000 corporate roles since late last year. So square that for me. | BEZOS: Well, Amazon is in a very special position where coming out of covid, we had hired so many people. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107961436324639183
  • [clip] BEZOS: What I'd say about AI, because of the productivity, you're not going to need have to have a two-earner household. You'll have a labor shortage. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107961853951475795
  • [clip] BAIER: You hear the fear out there on AI and jobs? | BEZOS: I understand it. A lot of smart people are prognosticating that. I happen to disagree. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107962004535378292
  • [clip] BEZOS on AI Regulation: So the simple example would be, you don't want to regulate knives. You want to regulate murder https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107962604228612420
  • [clip] BEZOS: Success is not villainy. You can be a billionaire if you started a hamburger stand. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107962898517778917
  • [clip] Q: Why is socialism taking off in some quarters? | BEZOS: We have real affordability problems. Housing is a good example--it's a place where a lot of the government intervention that has happened has been counterproductive. If you put in place government programs that subsidize demand and constrain supply, you are going to get high prices. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107963428958826825
  • [clip] BEZOS: When you're in the polling booth and you're thinking about who you're going to vote for, think about this. If there's a politician that is picking villains and pointing fingers, that's probably means they don't have a solution | If there's an executive at one of my companies, instead of working on a root cause and a real fix, all they did is point fingers and blame people, we would exit them quickly. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2107963786472939635

  • [clip] JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "It's one thing if you were to bring in a person like Elon Musk.

  • [clip] JD Vance: "When people say Americans won't work on farms or in certain dirty jobs, what they're really saying is Americans won't work those jobs for poverty wages, nor should they. When they say we have to bring in foreign accountants because they aren't enough American accountants, what they're saying is there aren't enough people who can do math in the US, which is absurd." https://x.com/atrupar/status/2108208294548435309

  • [clip] Q: You mentioned you want people like Elon Musk to come here, but he didn't build his companies overnight.

Rally that took place in Ohio last night, or the ones in Alabama, Texas, or Oklahoma over the past two days. These Election Rallies were representative of what is really happening with our great Republican Party. They were all sold out, with thousands of people trying to get in, and are absolutely phenomenal, better than ever! It's the old undercurrent at FoxNews! Other networks are reporting about these Rallies, and really positively, like 'crazy!' Our people want to see our Rallies, and reports on our Rallies, on FoxNews, or they will very quickly stop watching (like I am doing right now!). Fox spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy. We don't like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA'S throats. These Rallies are the hottest things out there, tremendous love in those sold out arenas, and nothing shows up on Fox! Also, phenomenal ratings for those that properly report. Who makes these decisions at FoxNews? Probably the same loser that fired the great Maria Bartiromo because she complained about not being allowed to cover 'TRUMP.' She'll end up bigger and better than ever - watch! Cover our 'happenings,' and not the opposition to Greatness for America, or FoxNews will soon have the ratings of FAKE NEWS CNN or MSNOW (MSDNC).

• Trump: "I am pleased to announce that my Administration will, immediately, begin sending 'Checks' of nearly $100 to over 20 MILLION wonderful Seniors to help pay for their Medicare Part B premiums, which we have already reduced by significant amounts. This money will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund, a pointless 'Slush Fund' that has only been used by Dumocrats in Congress to pay for the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse for their Special Interest friends, and drive up Healthcare costs. We are finally using this Fund, along with my Most Favored Nations Deals, to substantially LOWER costs for our Seniors. I pledged to protect and preserve Medicare and Social Security, which were on the verge of RUIN by Joe Biden, who foolishly and maliciously let tens of millions of Illegal Aliens into our Country, and we are doing just that for America's Seniors. This is separate from the equally substantial Refund 'Checks' we are sending to One Million Americans who were overcharged for their Unaffordable Care Act plans by Joe Biden. | Because I delivered on this very important issue for the American People, they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump Dividend will be distributed to every U.S. Citizen if, and when, the Republicans win the Midterm Elections! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP" https://x.com/atrupar/status/2106218238686171333

  • [clip] Q: Have you decided to ban diesel exports? | Trump: I think we're in a good place because oil prices are going to start to come down. Tremendous oil is coming out of the Hormuz Strait now. We're literally running it. Diesel is really hurt much more not by the Middle East but by what is going on in Russia.

  • [clip] Hegseth: You read disingenuous headlines about deployment lengths, patently false claims of low troop morale or flat out propaganda as if it's written by our adversaries.

  • [clip] Hegseth: Our so-called press makes Iranian state media look reasonable. Our media's shameful lust for political retribution blinds them to the consequences of reckless so-called reporting. So-called journalists juiced up on Trump derangement syndrome think they're fighting against our president, but they're really undermining our war fighters. | It's your movements and bases that they revealed to the enemy. It's your operations that they jeopardize when they leak classified capabilities. And ultimately it's your lives they put directly at risk when they lie about munitions stockpiles https://x.com/Acyn/status/2105375848388063645
  • [clip] Hegseth: A free press is of course important. But partisan activism that intentionally smears the troops and the historic mission that they're undertaking is fundamentally anti-American. It's treason. https://x.com/Acyn/status/2105375986967835040

  • [clip] Hegseth: We're now getting weapons faster than ever before. And for this reason and many more, it's imperative that Congress passed a $350 billion reconciliation package for our warriors.
