so for America 250 we dissolved the Union? seems bad.

Needed some background noise so turned on a linear stream of old TechTV/G4 content on Twitch to see @doctorow.pluralistic.net fighting the good fight with @eff.org all the way back in the day. Thank you, sir, I appreciate what you continue to do on behalf of us all.

boy did i need this little nostalgic dopamine hit #wethot youtu.be/dQ6hm6h4kIw?...

hey, remember: don't eat anything and don't breathe

This is my eulogy for both Lindsey Graham’s life and Graham Platner’s life in politics.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?

remember the conservative plan for schools: 1) elite secular academies for the wealthy, 2) religious instruction to brainwash the middle class and 3) a prison-like rump public school system to discipline the lower classes into mindless servitude

This is a hell of a piece of writing from an essay by German Philosopher Jurgen Habermas,

there is infinite money for weapons, non-educator vice chancellors of nothingness, and tech-grift corporate welfare but zero money for teachers, libraries, tuition

This thread is the whole friggin' ballgame, chums. Brilliant. Skynet probably isn't the threat; companies burning every planetary resource trying to make Skynet happen definitely are.

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

This article perfectly sums up why I'm still a techno-optimist and also a AI hater. Thanks @aftermath.site and specifically Gita Jackson for this. aftermath.site/anthropic-cl...

sad to not be at #sgdq rn, but still immensely proud of this piece about @gamesdonequick.com I published earlier this year. interviewed dozens of people in an effort to convey what makes the speedrunning community so unique compared to other video game communities aftermath.site/games-done-q...

Absolutely fucking exhausting that our elected leaders continue to see the moves the administration makes as “failures” and not what they really are: wildly successful *intentional* plans to steal wealth and move money from public services to the pockets of their billionaire buddies.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

This is the “Stephen Miller can go fuck himself” speech i needed! Grounded in history but speaking to the current moment, Mamdani reclaims the country’s history for the people, not the performative corruption coming out of DC and the ruling class. Beautiful. www.youtube.com/live/JztQx56...

Once again I am calling on my fellow Americans to stigmatize lunatic billionaires like how racists do to minorities

The DOGE rats are still in the regime, still criming. Did you know passports.gov is now run by the White House, not the State Department, running illegal tracking technology? #doge

Gregg gets it correct here. “New OMB grant rule” sounds nerdy. But this is a huge and insane plan. This is the Trump admin writing down their goal of fundamentally changing the relationship between government and society. Funding for everything will be taken over. 1/

It's easier for media to portray the election as an attack on American Jews than to delve into what NY-10 really was: The second most Jewish Congressional district in the US having a referendum between two Jewish candidates on what it means to do Jewish politics in the age of Trump and Netanyahu.

One of the world's worst humans...but also a raving nutcase.

the world falling apart sucks real bad, but it's amazing that New York somehow slipped into an Disney Channel Original Movie alternate reality where our problems are fixed by Mayor Socialism and the Power of Friendship wins basketball championships.

I'm actually more concerned about the half that isn't being paid by taxpayers, because that means it's being paid by people buying our government.

The world's first trillionaire did this

man nyc is such a fun place right now. on my way to a mets game (lol) and everyone’s in knicks gear or brazil gear or mets gear or argentina gear. everyone’s on their way to a watch party or a block party. the whole country could be like this if it wasn’t run by miserable pudding brained freaks

Regular reminder that no wealth tax is going to stop this racist oligarch from destroying America. We must put Musk in prison for the crimes he has committed that are public knowledge—or others that have so far been hidden. The DOGE violations of federal law will be sufficient.

Something has gone horribly wrong in a civilization that has trillionaires and homeless people

Any trillionaires are a policy failure

solipsism is a defense mechanism for miserable assholes

Will a single media outlet ask whether Trump inconveniencing a commuter cohort the size of the entire population of Wyoming, causing countless ebullient parties to be cancelled, and destroying hundreds of millions of dollars in business, is going to have a negative effect on his popularity? (Nope.)

My opponents are all communists. In unrelated news, my government will be taking ownership of the means of production.

People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose. The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥 It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

if you just went by media coverage you would think that trangender kids playing sports are a much more immediate threat to the public well-being than a billionaire becoming a trillionaire by pumping $2 trillion worth of fraud into every single 401k

Tell ‘em, Chuck!

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

Phish 🤝 Data Science get in nerds, we’re sharin’ in the groove

my confidence that these people are going to lose is rising and my estimate of the amount of damage they are going to do on the way out, especially as they realize they're losing, is also rising
