Today in Cincinnati, Police shut down a highway overpass and held a line on each side to allow Hate Club to wave swastika flags and nazi banners unchallenged. They then protected them as they loaded back into their box truck, while physically pushing back a crowd of people trying to confront them.

Hell yeah. Channel your inner Duolingo Owl

to their credit, This American Life reported this well before the inauguration. They had an episode in which an expert was like "they'll start with people who are following the rules because they're easiest to find, which will allow them to brag about a high number of deportations quickly"

In case anyone needs an absolute banger as a pick me up today

Autumn is trying to get her mom out of a conservatorship and move her in order to take care of her. Any help is appreciated

One republican senator - the absolute dumbest one, in fact! - held up 400 military promotions for a year. On his own, from the Senate minority.

Happening NOW - We're at a packed Ohio Power Siting Board public hearing today on the Eastern Cottontail Solar Project. Overwhelming community turnout with a record-breaking number of public comments - 80% expressing support for the project.

Watching the fallout of the DeepSeek news and tech is having a really bad time

We are a laughingstock of a country

Let me get this straight. Petro calls for dignified transit. Trump threatens tariffs. Petro smacks Trump in a post threatening his own higher tariffs. And Trump agrees to what Petro asked for. And yet NYT is calling this *Petro* backing down?

Also: because deepseek's r1 model is open source it is also open with how its chain of thought reasoning works, something that OpenAI has been avoiding so people can't copy their process and thus their model. Sadly that didn't need to happen! Uh oh!

One important note: this is not about deepseek making a "better" model. They have created a much much cheaper to run model that performs about as well as OpenAI's o1 model. OpenAI may have to drop pricing to compete on a more expensive to run model. Race to the bottom baby!

Sure looks like that AI bubble might be bursting today Alt text for image in quoted post: a line graph of the NASDAQ-100 by hour showing a huge drop over the course of several hours. Line Go Down

A recap of today's crisis: - Colombia: Deportations are fine, but don't use military planes. - Trump: F*** YOU. 50% tariffs, visa bans, and sanctions. - Colombia: If you're going to be that way, screw you too, 50% tariffs back at you, we're breaking up, and we'll see other people *coughChinacough*.

This was the funniest and best thing to happen this weekend. You love to see it

Social media was a mistake. We must go back to having tin cans in our room with string tied between them.

What a fucking self-own for the Dems. Genuinely do not understand how people think they are going to stand up to Trump when they are responsible for giving him a win like this before he even takes office

If the Democratic Party was a soccer team, they’d kick the ball into their own net because it’s more attainable and tell everyone it’s a good compromise

A TikTok that gets Trump’s approval is gonna be a bad time

Watching Resistance Libs™️ getting angry at people pointing out that Biden signed the ban into law and the reason it passed was thanks to significant support from Dems, instead of getting mad at Biden and the Dems for pushing it, really serves as a microcosm for how we got *gestures at everything*

Sorta pitch-perfect Bidenism: take a high-profile Trump stunt, turn it into bipartisan law in the name of national security, defend it to the hilt until queasily attempting to walk it back last minute, then let Trump reverse his original position in a way that is both popular and corrupt

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

So it looks like Bytedance decided to take down Marvel Snap in the US as well as TikTok. Didn’t even realize Bytedance owned the studio that makes it. Very cool and thought out piece of legislation!

Paul F. Tompkins showed up in my Hunter: The Reckoning campaign

Also might be helpful if so much of the Dem leadership weren’t pushing 70 and 80 and actually understood how these platforms work and get used

incredible that the Democrats passed a law, panicked and backed away from the law when they saw how unpopular it was, and then handed Trump the world's easiest victory by stopping the law. Just complete lack of political ability from start to finish
