Fascinating to think how the world will be viewed by the generation having their first moments of political consciousness now, as the craven stupidity of the whole system is just really laid bare. The concept of “adults in the room” will soon be deader than the dinosaurs, and good riddance to it.

I'm going to become a money influencer and teach people how to save by never going anywhere or doing anything. It'll be called going tree mode

"One friend said he'd be waiting for me at the airport. He said that I had no idea how important this was to all of them. He said that their families could be rich, pay off all their debts, and afford to send their kids to private schools for better lacrosse coaching."

i met a girl who sang the blues and asked her for some happy news. "lol" she said. "lmao"

Can’t believe they published my Mad Libs www.independent.co.uk/sport/us-spo...

A thing to remember about measles is that it is insanely contagious. It has an R0 value of up to 18, which means one person can be expected to infect up to 18 others. Just being in a room with someone who has measles means you've been exposed. Ask your doctor and get vaxxed if needed!

I've never understood people who believe that because they suffered, so must everyone else. "I had to pay my student loans! I had to work 100 hours a week! I had to walk uphill both ways! Therefore so must you!" That's not fairness, it's cruelty. The next generation should have it EASIER than us.

“Polling shows that Locutus of Borg currently has an impressive 100% approval rating among the Borg Collective”

If I had a dollar for every critique of communism that amounts to little more than describing the modern reality of working class Americans under capitalism I'd own the means of production at this point

To paraphrase Sartre, “The Antichrist is other people.”

“Even if you hate me and openly pine for my death every day — wrong, bitch, you love me. Thank you for your attention to this matter”

the only successful airborne operation I recognize

So, no more pretense, even, of wanting to ”liberate“ the Cuban people, huh? No “come to the US like so many Cuban Americans did,” just “you’ll starve or you’ll rot in our camps if you try to escape starvation“? Who could possibly have seen this coming?

The destruction of recorded history is a key facet of any fascist state and the corporatist fascist now in power are no different. That is why so many of us on the academic and research side of countering fascism and authoritarianism have been so adamant about protecting physical media and history.

We must believe in a world to create that world

A sad but perfect example of capitalism and fascism sharing a common goal: not even to *own* everything, so much as to *devalue* everything. It’s never *just* about money for capitalists, or power for fascists; it’s about leaving no money or power for anyone else. Own it, ruin it, win either way.

It won't do much good in the short term to reduce consumption in this new fossil fuel crisis, but imagine if governments had actually cracked down on plug-in hybrid consumer fraud right from the start www.theguardian.com/environment/...

hey assholes, thanks for making me check which fucking food items i should buy in my dickhead grocery app so i can get the best goddamn discount on some bitchass gasoline

Ultimately, Bernie is doing exactly what AI companies want. They do not care that the LLMs sometimes respond in a way that seems “unfavorable” to them. The ultimate goal is to get us to buy into the idea that the LLMs responses are meaningful at all.

chopped unc scenario unfortunately

“The Al‑Aqsa Mosque (Al-Quds, Jerusalem) has been closed or heavily restricted to much of the population. Important Friday prayers during Ramadan have been cancelled, and many people have ended up praying outside the compound or in nearby streets because they could not access the site.”

“No one belongs in a cage. As a Quaker organization, AFSC opposes all forms of detention and incarceration. People should be able to stay with their families and communities as they navigate the immigration system. Their rights and dignity should be respected.”

Never in my lifetime have there been so many reasons to say “this is really bad” and “this is really funny” about the exact same thing

I will not read theory and none of you can make me

so are the DOGE checks and the tariff checks coming with our tax refunds, or do i need to apply somewhere

Impressive to lose this war twice

Congrats to President Trump on finally liberating Iraq

setting aside the horror, it is kind of grimly amusing how every single thing hegseth says about iran is even more true of the united states "they were wasting their resources on missiles" "they're driven by apocalyptic fantasies" real "the only language they understand is force" energy

One of the less-discussed hazards of AI isn’t even the way it’s actually used, but the fact that its hasty adoption by corporations and institutions has been so publicly sloppy and wrong-headed that we’re now all playing one big, neverending, corrosive game of “Is this AI? Is *this* AI?”

Has any scholarly work been done on fascist influencer voice? Genuinely curious why Nick Fuentes, Ben Shapiro, et al. all talk so specifically like an actor who wants you to instantly hate their character. Whereas I at least understand the affably clueless appeal of bro-podcaster types like Rogan.

getting everyone to say classy like molassy because I’m bored

deeply concerned about the way queers and women in the US latch on to western rights based frameworks that are used as justification for imperialism; the blowback for this in the last 30 years has meant that LGBTQ+ rights and gender equality are increasingly seen as oppressive western constructs

EXCLUSIVE: Documents obtained through ATI reveal that an Alberta Infrastructure employee raised "red flags" about MAGA Christian nationalist performer Sean Feucht's performance at the Legislature last year. The concert occurred anyway. www.theprogressreport.ca/sean_feucht_...
