the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

This part right here, is very important for everyone to understand

these people should all hang

the burden of proof is on the people who just wiped out a grade school.

now I'm sure they're going to claim this was an accident. a sad consequence of where the school was located. this is nonsense. unless proven otherwise you should assume those children were targeted maliciously.

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime. The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country. In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits. This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

Israel's most moral army in the world just can't stop bombing hospitals, and they're out of hospitals in Gaza because of their continued genocide. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

It's 2003 A republican is POTUS because Dems lost a winnable election against an imbecile & a complicit SCOTUS GOP cuts taxes for billionaires, guts social services, & expands the military Citing Jesus & Israel, GOP POTUS illegally bombs a Muslim majority nation based on WMD propaganda It's 2026

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

Don’t let anyone tell you that this unhinged war of aggression the United States and Israel just instigated against Iran is justified.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

oh no they scraped your stuff without permission oh no

imagine a world where regulators would actually fucking do something about this

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

re @anthropic.com: I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more. These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

don't we all

So..... how's YOUR week going so far?

The tech oligarchs pushing AI do not care if you can afford a computer, because they do not truly love the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-hdd...

@garybrannan.bsky.social "Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea." Got to love it when someone in the Civil Service can fire back at these ignorant morons.

Thinking of Virginia Giuffre and her family. Wishing this happened sooner, but would not have happened at all without her heroism.

I feel like people think "birds are dinosaurs" is a weird fun fact that is "technically true" but I don't know how to emphasize that there are tens of thousands of species of theropod dinosaur on the planet with us right now. People keep them AS PETS. WE EAT THEM.

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.

another guy who never protested before radicalized to the point of tears by watching masked ICE agents terrify children in his neighborhood the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated

This is a key problem with AI. When you search for something weird using a standard web search, you get 0/limited/obviously wrong results. If you have AI do it, it'll just make something up.

Look dude, none of us are sure how you’re alive either, but at some point you need to acknowledge wealth and luck and stop using your survivor bias as a reason to kill everyone else

the thing most people struggle with is understanding that doj wasn’t hesitant to go hard at trump because they were unsure of the outcome, they were hesitant because they were VERY sure of the outcome (conviction) and it scared the shit out of them.

These are the people who are willing to go on the record. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Happy EPSTEIN Files Release Day Eve for all those who celebrate!!! 👍

trans kids should have access to healthcare. same as cis kids. ANYTHING that their parents and doctors think would have a positive impact. Not complicated.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

wanneer je partij afgelopen 1,5 decennium de zorgstaat uitholde, extreem rechts normaliseerde, racisme witwaste, de democratische rechtsstaat hielp ondermijnen, grondrechten wil inperken, een genocide niet erkent, en de kiezer geeft geen ene moer. 🇳🇱💃🏻🥰💃🏻🇳🇱

If someone tries to tell you that diversity is a problem, you should immediately wonder what’s in it for them if you believe them.

If he wasn't in the #EPSTEIN_Files, a hardbound copy embossed in gaudy gold would be readily available for sale at his MAGA Merch site for the low, low price of $500, or IF YOU ACT NOW, a personally signed copy for the more-than-reasonable price of $1K: Courtesy of the gross greedy #GrifterInChief.💰

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Rowling and Emma Watson's argument is painful to watch😢 Good-hearted transgender people never intend to hurt anyone else. They just want to love who they want to love and live according to their soul's direction. Chiitan stands by the hearts of good-hearted transgender people. I love everyone

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Good thread from @signal.org CEO, @meredithmeredith.bsky.social underscoring our critical dependencies on a few key orgs, and an increasing challenge in organizational and national resilience. We have a lot of work to do. cc @gate15.bsky.social

This thread does a better job of capturing why the cloud isn’t merely “renting a bunch of servers” than anything else I’ve seen recently.
