I’ve been circling a cursed thought for a while and it’s time to let it out: These guys are Disney Adults for fascism.

Pritzker is offering the following at the moment: 1. Trust the courts. [not a viable strategy] 2. "Film the cops" 3. Vote in 2026 4. Protest [peacefully] And he knows this is not sufficient. Everyone does. He will not address the local cops angle because he might be deposed...

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

For reference of Portland frog facing off ICE art being made.

Government Shutdown never ends.

What’s lost in this conversation is that language must always escape containment, so your playful little “clanker” slur is now being directed at people with bionic limbs. Harmless fun, right? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8AjSabH/

anyway, here is 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics winner Geoffrey Hinton discussing what we know about large AI models on 60 Minutes.

SENATOR: you have violated your oaths to the bar and the constitution ATTORNEY GENERAL: ah, but senator, have you considered, i have also made some shit up

i am king shit of fuck mountain

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

Can’t tell if Bryce Harper is the ultimate wife guy (derogatory) or the ultimate wife guy (complimentary)

Good *cough* job *eye twitch* Chuck *nose bleed* Schumer *vomiting blood*

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Five days, says Rudy!

So Trump is now going to try to rule like an early modern king - just avoid calling the estates general or parliament or the diet and so rule by fiat. Maybe someone in the GOP should turn the page in book and see what happened next...oh, oh dear...oh no...oh dear ohnonono....

I like my Congress like I like my hockey: Full of checks and the occasional fist fight.

Even with two of the best players in the league out with injuries, the Florida Panthers still look like the team to beat in the NHL. #GoCats

"But autism is not caused by one thing, it’s a complex mix of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Announcing a ‘cause’ or ‘cure’ without rigorous science not only fuels stigma but also harms families who are left with more confusion than clarity.” -Danielle Hall

I know that nobody ever believes this, but legally, the Vatican City is a sovereign nation, and the pope is the absolute monarch of it and could absolutely invite JD Vance there and kill him, and it wouldn't technically be illegal, although it would probably cause some difficulties down the line

wait it's possible to move from pilot studies to permanent implementation of basic income? please tell everyone except Andrew Yang about this

Those AI pics and videos don’t make y’all spirits itch?

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Fiona Apple's 'Extraordinary Machine' turned 25 yesterday, so here's a few reminders, for you and for me www.youtube.com/watch?v=adaX...

Broken Eggs, by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1756

"I see it in our support groups [people with Long COVID]. We’re the unlucky ones, everyone else is walking around getting it a billion times and they’re “completely fine”. But I don’t trust anecdote, I trust science. And science says that with each infection, risk is cumulative."

googles “what happens if you stop paying soldiers“

They’re all realizing that this is not the thousand year reich, this is a dottering old man and a bunch of court eunuchs who can’t stop fucking up, and that they’re going to be held responsible in a way they never considered when they thought Trump was the god-head

If I was placing bets: Nashville makes the playoffs, Carolina wins the East, Vegas wins the cup... The injury situation in Florida makes them hard to bet on, even tho I'm cheering for the 3peat.

it would not be surprising to learn that his aides are feeding him a steady diet of AI-generated videos in addition to fox news endlessly re-running carefully edited footage from 2020 portland, creating an alternate universe he is cocooned in

primary anybody who doesn't talk like this

if bsky tanks i guess i’ll go back to saying stupid, weird, uncomfortable things to various cashiers and waitstaff

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Skeptical of these reports of IDF brutalizing and humiliating Greta Thunberg and keeping her in inhuman conditions. I mean she’s not a six-year-old Palestinian girl.

my most radical take is that i think machines and computers got no soul so it’s ok to beat them into pieces with a hammer

Clankers aren’t people. People are people. You shouldn’t think clankers are people. You shouldn’t use clankers not being people as an excuse to treat people not like people even if they think clankers are people. There. I solved the fucking argument. Moving on.

Stephen Miller is what happens when liberals scold people for punching nazis

It was clear from the beginning that ICE staffing up was going to be a full employment program for racists, barroom bullies and wife beaters
