BERNIE "Thurston Moore" SANDERS
 
Article in last weekend's edition of Belgian newspaper De Standaard. It's based on an article in
The Guardian titled
'Backing bands: which musicians endorse which US presidential candidates?'

The Nuge might be a bit of a nob, but he did play guitar on Journey to the Centre of Your Mind by The Amboy Dukes.

Sighs.. election years always make me depressed because jingoism and belief in the tooth fairy remanifest themselves continually until everyone has fooled themselves into complacency and the "hey at least we tried" excuses. #VoteForYourself

Better yet, join the United States military and witness the chaos first-hand, since you can bet Trump would invade more places than Dick Cheney dares to dream about. According to the DoD, 4,491 members of the U.S. Armed Forces died in the Iraq war — if you're lucky, you could be like them!

Don't be a FUCKING MORON. We've been there already. Scattershot anger gets you nowhere. As indestructible as the political/economical/military/social system seems to be, there ARE real consequences to voting for Sanders or Clinton or that walking sack of shit.

I'm pretty sure someone would get nuked. I'm not joking.

Leave it to a Jew to figure out money hahahahaha

BTW, what ever happened to gast?

The Echo Chamber, by David Byrne

Not too long ago some friends were asking each other, "How are Trump supporters so seemingly unaware of his lies and bullshit..."

Too long to post it here in its entirety, but a great read. So read it, you degenerates. FEEL THE BYRNE!

Among the few musicians who have declared [their support] for Trump are the country music legend Loretta Lynn ("I just think he’s the only one who’s going to turn this country around")

This is fucked up. And just sad. One of the genuinely greatest country music (and beyond!) artists ever getting her skull filled with Trump excrement.

:(:mad:

Scientists have warned that rapid strides in the development of artificial intelligence and robotics threatens the prospect of mass unemployment, affecting everyone from drivers to sex workers.
Intelligent machines will soon replace human workers in all sectors of the economy, senior computer scientists told the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Washington at the weekend.

“We are approaching the time when machines will be able to outperform humans at almost any task,” said Moshe Vardi, computer science professor at Rice University in Texas. “Society needs to confront this question before it is upon us: if machines are capable of doing almost any work humans can do, what will humans do?
“A typical answer is that we will be free to pursue leisure activities,” Prof Vardi said. “[But] I do not find the prospect of leisure-only life appealing. I believe that work is essential to human wellbeing.”
“AI is moving rapidly from academic research into the real world,” said Bart Selman, professor of computer science at Cornell University. “Computers are starting to ‘hear’ and ‘see’ as humans do . . . Systems can start to move and operate among us autonomously.” He said companies such as Google, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft were scaling up investments in AI systems to billions of dollars a year.
Professors Vardi and Selman said governments — and society as a whole — were not facing up to the acceleration of AI and robotics research. Prof Selman helped draft an open letter issued last year by the Future of Life Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, urging policymakers to explore the risks associated with increasingly intelligent machines.
Among the 10,000 or so signatories to the letter is Elon Musk, the tech entrepreneur whose company Tesla Motors has a large AI research programme aimed at developing self-driving cars.
Mr Musk will fund research at Cornell University “on keeping AI beneficial to humans”, said Prof Selman. The project will predict whether and, if so when, “super-intelligence” — all-round superiority of machine to human intelligence — might be achieved.
According to Prof Selman, one of the fastest advancing areas of AI is machine vision, and particularly facial recognition. “Facebook can recognise faces better than any of us,” he said. Machine vision is key to the self-driving vehicles that scientists predict will take over our roads in the next 25 years. Prof Vardi said automated driving would cut accidents by 90 per cent or more, compared with vehicles driven by error-prone people.

“With so many lives saved and injuries prevented, it would be hard morally for anyone to argue against it,” he said. Yet around 10 per cent of all US jobs involve driving a vehicle, he added, “and most of those will disappear”.
Prof Vardi said it would be hard to think of any jobs that would not be vulnerable to robotics and AI — even sex workers. “Are you going to bet against sex robots?” he asked. “I’m not.”
