this is all Tiktaalik's fault

  1. R/aitubers is all the entitlement of NewTubers but exclusively for people openly churning out slop.

    “I’ve automated 2-4 videos daily, zero human intervention, I spend a half hour a week working on this, why am I not getting paid yet?”

  2. Vegetable prices are spiking after large taxes were put on imported ones and masked paramilitaries were deployed to harass and even kidnap the people who pick domestic ones, huh, who’d have guessed. (Not a dunk, these explanations are mentioned in the story!)

  4. The thing about the “the courts are a sick joke therefore there’s no point in contesting even cases clearly in our favor” is that irrefutably demonstrating the court is a sick joke is a necessary step to delegitimizing it if that is indeed the case.

    “They’ll just get a court order from a Republican district court judge and SCOTUS will back it”
