America has convinced people that yelling your unsolicited opinion at a stranger is free speech but someone telling you to fuck off in response is oppression.

I really don’t get these mouthy kids who talk shit online and then get SO UPSET and perseverate over it for days If you talk back at them. Who told them they’re special?

I’m sick of pointing this out but JB Pritzker, governor of Illinois, put these cops here and bragged about it and wants to be president @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Bit depressing to think about if somehow there are more elections and somehow Democrats get into power that no one will be prosecuted or held to account bc consultants will say its too politically risky again and the cycle after that we'll do it all over again and even worse again. Ah well. Ah well!

The liberal elite delusion that police are broadly on the side of truth and justice has put us all in existential danger.

I am happy that more people see that the police state is a BIPARTISAN project.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

what a social scene, they both have so many amusing anecdotes about doing blackface or killing a nun

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

no I eat spaghetti in a big bed with my wife

Zitronian Jihad now.

There has got to be a version of the Bible where “Nate silver kind of admits he’s wrong” is one of the four horsemen

Crazy how with these people it's always AI that's "here to stay like it or not" and never like gender affirming medical procedures or something

The way the AI thing has really coalesced around the "educational" idea of making facsimile versions of historical figures to talk to really feels like... these people are so fucking mad that there are people who were greater than Computer and the first thing they want to do is Make Them Computer

Pritzker’s goons shutting down protests at ICE Detention Center in Broadview.

It's cool how when you try to search for the solution to a computer problem now you can pick from an AI summary, several out-of-date videos by a guy with a shitty mic, or some forum posts on the publisher's site dealing with an obsolete version of the software

s/o to everyone from working class backgrounds in the arts and entertainment who clawed their way to where they are without the benefit of family wealth, career experience, or connections

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

i think we should make room for ICE in society, and that room is called "prison"

i don't conduct my business on the belief that the joker will poison gotham's water supply because I saw it in a story somewhere, so why do so many dipshit motherfuckers use "if you build it, he will come" from field of dreams as business advice?

An actual opposition party sure would be useful at a time like this

Good to see the Salvation Army take a minute off from their virulent homophobia to…feed fascists instead

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

people really think like this huh

Every English-language article about the Nobel: "Well-deserved win by brave freedom fighter!" Every Spanish-language article about the Nobel: "Lmao remember the time she asked Netanyahu to invade Venezuela"

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

idk why the youtube algo fed me this but i can't describe how scary & weird it is being a woman knowing these freaks are doing presentations on how to understand & conquer us like. we are just people. have you tried being fucking normal. i will never get used to society being like this

the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you

I think a lot of things that are 'popular' are kept going by business and algorithmic inertia more than anybody genuinely having a deep love for them.

Mr Beast is very emblematic of modern fame where he’s very successful, incredibly rich, gets 12 billion views on everything, and simultaneously, at the very same time, no one gives one single shit about him

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

A friendly reminder: Scott Cawthorn (FNAF's creator) is a pro-life, pro-ICE sycophant who's donated much of his income gained from this franchise to politicians that push anti-LGBTQ+ legislation & programs like conversion therapy. He also regularly hires transphobes. #ResistAndBite #LGBTQIA2 #furry

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Israeli officials gave a document they said is from Hamas to the NYT. NYT: Is this document authentic? Israeli officials: Yes, it is real NYT: Great, confirmed authentic. Guys, that’s not how authentication works!

The promotion of pseudoscience about a supposed “cause” or “cure” of autism and the destruction of special education (and all of public education, really) are part of the same project. It is a fascist attempt to expel certain people from the body politic, based in eugenics.

anyone else notice that the west took a turn for the worse once the concept of signaling one’s own social virtue became derogatory, almost as if cynically deriding all displays of charity and good will is indicative of a deeply cynical and nihilistic society capable of collaborating in genocide

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

"even if it's AI, it's at least true" hard to overstate the damage this stuff is doing to people's brains. we're gonna be cleaning the slop out of archives for decades

Fashy Cinemasins That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

Paraphrasing something I think I remember @shaunvids.bsky.social saying: "They once made an identity of their hobby, but aren't enjoying it like they used to, so they want to believe it's because somebody's making their hobby worse, not because they themselves changed."

Do you like what you see @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Yes, because NYT is a fascist institution

one thing that's funny is the weirdo canadians/nazis on x the everything app increasingly have to monitor this place to get their rage fix now. you won! enjoy your cool app with your cool friends

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

I want them all prosecuted. Every last one of them.

i’ve been trying to think of the real actual applications of generative ai in it’s current state and the two things i have so far is it makes everyone more dumb and also every more paranoid

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:
