This is really stupid and only is being done to pad the pockets of the H&R Blocks of the world

There's an actual medical revolution that's steadily brewing, and it doesn't involve cane sugar and beef tallow (though those are yummy, if you prefer them, okay, just don't delude yourself into thinking they're magically healthy!)

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

When can we start calling GTAVI vaporware. (And hey, some vaporware did wind up coming out eventually, which I'm sure GTAVI will, just goddamn)

slop was invented by humans first before the AI learned how to make it from us

absolutely baffling. grammarly... has more or less always been an AI company?

Does man who spends 14 hours a day posting deserve one trillion dollars? Many posters say the matter is complicated.

I mostly hate subscription services, but AMC A-List can be a such game changer if you actually like going to the theater 4 tickets a week + 10% back in rewards on concessions for the prices of less than 2 tickets a month is absurd A few months in now, can't go back

Why should I have any feelings other than contempt for this government? They clearly have nothing but contempt for me.

It's me exactly

If your job application includes both "trans" and "woman" as separate options in a question about "gender identity" where only one answer is allowed, I'm gonna pick "woman" I am trans as a byproduct of having a female gender identity, it is not my gender identity in and of itself

When I was working for a Chinese government contractor in 2019, my mainland colleagues insisted that Trump was a fellow traveler who was just doing Chinese communism very badly, and would fail because of the US’ public’s independent streak. FWIW, I think they’re completely correct now.

Eagerly seeking a senior+ TypeScript, Solidity, and/or technical leadership role. Must be remote. Boosts appreciated!

This is just sad

One of the most important things for government stability, even more so under authoritarian systems, is that the military is fed and paid.

I love social democrat Bill Kristol

My inner social democrat enjoyed Zohran Mamdani quoting Eugene Debs last night. I vaguely recall my then-even-more-suppressed inner social democrat being pleased in 1990 when Debs was inducted during the first Bush administration into the Labor Department's Hall of Honor. www.dol.gov/general/abou...

We want to make ProtoPro work how you want with your broader AT Proto experience. There is now a setting that replaces button links to Bluesky with Deer Social instead.

Eagerly seeking a senior+ TypeScript, Solidity, and/or technical leadership role. Must be remote. Boosts appreciated!

If you applied for beta access at any point using the form on our website, you should now have access! (Though we see several of you already got in via invites 💜)

Thank you so much for 3k!! I will continue building nifty things to try to help this protocol truly become the paradigm-shifting technology it can be. 🫡

The PDS Data Browser inside of ProtoPro now has syntax highlighting on the JSON viewer and a tab for exploring blobs (e.g. pictures and videos — your non-text data) Though many users may not need these tools, we want to empower power users to have control over their data!

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists.

I want a society where we do what we can to ensure everyone has the things they need, but we're otherwise largely left to live life on our terms in the way that is meaningful to us

So glad it's turning into leggings season. They're just so cozy, and I love the aesthetic of black floral dress + plain black leggings.

okay this is legitimately funny

If SCOTUS strikes down most of the tariffs just because some of the conservative judges hate taxes more than they like Trump, I'll take it And it's looking like that outcome may be in play

Sliwa calling Mamdani to give him a warm and sincere congratulations versus Cuomo saying nothing is further proof of this

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable. A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over. This really can work.

MAGA is really trying to go with the angle of "this guy who has a bombshell of a wife who always looks like she just walked off of a fashion show runway is going to make women in NYC wear burqas" What's especially sad is that it will work on some people

The Spanberger-Mamdani-Kristol National Front: And *WE* will make them PAY, FOR WHAT THEY'VE DONE

I will stan this film until the day I die

Nov 2024: Trump is building a mutiracial right-wing coalition!!! Nov 2025: ...and they're all already voting Dem again

One important thing that last night showed is you don't have to compromise on trans issues to win. For most people, for better or worse, it's low on their priorities. If the average Joe thinks you'll help him have an affordable, thriving existence, he won't care either way.

I remember during the primary making a big deal about how "Mamdani and AOC" are the future of left-wing politics, and people were mocking me, saying Mamdani will never wield power I win, assholes, and it wasn't even close

Politics, for better or worse, are so much about vibes. Triangulating positions based on polling just makes you look artificial and inauthentic. If you can come across as exciting, fun, and helpful, you can get elected with very left-wing agendas.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The midterms are going to be a bloodbath

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Obama knows Mamdani has the sauce but can't outright say it, lol

Let’s go Mamdani!!

Just saw Bugonia. What a movie, wow. In a good way. I also like how very obviously set in Atlanta it is.

I've said it before, but Mamdani's wife is so friggin cute

The question is whether the cat backs bodega cat-loving Mamdani or cat rescuing Sliwa He heard Cuomo likes to do inappropriate things to pussies

In a world where fossil fuels didn't exist, they'd be invented in fantasy as a fictional trope oh yeah, of course the dominion of the evil sorceress powers their machines with black sludge that is literally made from death and decay, what else would they use?

every election day is a terrible day for elderly president tariff otaku, which you should take pride in

Ah yes, another day here on the app where I talk with my friends, tell my little jokes, and also conduct digital knife fights with my moral enemies (total strangers who agree with me 97% of the time)
