I've lost count. Are we in Gulf War 4 or 5?

I think this is exactly correct. Take note, now, of who the decent ones are, and remember. Take note of the others, too, and don't forget.

If this asshole was a black guy, exactly how many minutes do you think would pass before he was in prison? www.propublica.org/article/mark...

Does anyone remember the Amazon phone? I used to work for Amazon and I don't even remember what they called it. A few people will buy Elon's XPhone, I'm sure; probably a lot of the same people who bought Cybertrucks.

on behalf of my dog, I sincerely hope I am listening to the sound of some dumbass's fingers getting blown off

Happy 4th of July!

what a bunch of total losers

A reminder that as you see photos of those Patriot Front douchebags today, they are marching on a holiday because none of them have anywhere else to be. None of them have friends or family who want them around on a holiday. No one is missing them today. They're already with their only friends.

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social on why we must defend public libraries: “There is a reason the culture warriors hate the library. It is the same reason that Americans should defend it with our rights. No political spin doctor can sell us what is freely given at one: the right to think for ourselves.”

Inevitably, the AI bot/hologram of trump that they create after he kicks it will be far more articulate than the scum king himself. Junior will probably be "endorsed" by the bot.

they used to call it "speculation" and economists used to frown on it.

because if he did the rational thing, he'd inevitably conclude they thought he was stupid and they were making fun of him, and you can never, ever, hurt the rich man's feelings, even if it's all in his head

I think the part no one wants to hear is exactly how many people are comfortable with stepping over dead children so long as it fills their coffers.

CNN aired a devastating montage of all the times that Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission. #cdnpoli

Last time Trump demanded a list like this, a lot of US agents died in mysterious circumstances.

Engineers (the vast majority of the first few cadres of astronauts) are not the same as scientists, and for some reason seem to be more susceptible to creationism. Also eugenics. I don't know why.

Ed's right. www.wheresyoured.at/p/f859f1db-0...

The top of tomorrow’s column on the Great American State Fair, arguing it’s patriotic to savor a bully’s humiliation:

PROFESSOR: Quick question. What's a corporation? STUDENT: That's easy! It's a legal mechanism to facilitate capital formation, spread risk, and encourage productive investment. PROFESSOR: No, dummy! It's a mechanism for concentrating power, diluting responsibility, and evading accountability.

well this just fills me with confidence

that would have required joy, which is the very thing MAGAs want to kill

It's so magnanimous of ross to offer a concrete proposal to the ladies, for how they should conduct their personal lives in order to assuage his completely imaginary concerns.

The internal combustion engine is 150+ years old, is manufactured in practically every country on earth, and is well on track, within this generation, to becoming a niche technology, like incandescent lighting, photographic film, vacuum tubes, mechanical timepieces, and sailing boats.

"After five rounds of interviews, three personality evaluations, a lie-detector test, electroshock therapy, and a metaphysical ascension into the unconscious plane, we’ve decided to go with a candidate whose experience more closely aligns with the listed position."

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

In the future as imagined for us by our dark tech overlords, all human knowledge will be implicitly, and noisily, encoded as a latent representation within the weights of a single giant LLM, and only available with a subscription and the right prompting. "To be or..."

It's strange; at the outset of this war, a bunch of friends on another social media site came out in favor of it; some were positively giddy. Now that we've won the war, they're all so quiet - I wonder why??

breaking news: new details from a series of trump's latest shits show how the color, consistency, and ratio of filet-o-fish, diet coke and adderall changes depending on which fox news host he's watching at the moment

I feel terrible for all the space nerds whose aspirations are now being subverted by a violent white supremacist cult.

I wrote about the smash-and-grab politics of fascist gangsterism and what it would mean to take back what’s been stolen. “The task is mass reclamation and transformation: taking back what has been stolen and making it impossible for so few to steal so much again.”

Went to see this documentary film last night on Orwell's 1984. When you see what is really going on around us, the world is a lot scarier place than you realize. Definitely worth the watch.

there are still many mysteries about lee greenwood, but at least we know he's free
