Even after a historically successful election and the largest protest in American history, Chuck Schumer’s caucus caved in the shutdown fight. Senate Democrats need bold new leadership to fight the Trump regime, and that starts by making Schumer step aside: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

This paragraph is a journey.

Every Democrat needs to be flooding the airwaves and in personal communication to the military that orders to attack South America are illegal.

But without saying which orders are illegal, they still only have one voice telling them. That the orders are legal, and none competing with that view. It needs to progress to directly competing with the chain of command.

Why on earth should you get over this? If you lived in 1920 and knew a Klansman, you should look down on him. If you lived in 1940 and knew a fascist, you should look down on him. The grand progressive listening tour doesn’t work, these people need censure to change. Proudly hold contempt for them.

And when people act like things always sort themselves out somehow they don't seem to appreciate the "somehow" requires action at all levels of society inside an information system that amplifies the worst moral-epistemic systems for that specific "somehow"

WAKE UP DEAD MAN (2025): Easily the least cohesive KNIVES OUT narrative, but also the most emotionally mature. Born to be catnip for the progressive Catholic-to-atheist set (👋), but more than anything, it’s a screed against nihilism. Believe in something, put faith in something. I feel that.

Here's a transcript of the podcast www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

The MAHA pitch was supposed to be that Americans don’t really need insurance, vaccines, or other “establishment” medical care — they just need better nutrition and less exposure to environmental toxins. And yet: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/h...

The media treated Biden's pardon of Hunter for trumped-up gun possession charges as more scandalous - far more scandalous - than Trump's pardon of war criminal serial killer Eddie Gallagher. And here we are:

Trump and GOPers have correctly identified that there are essentially no consequences anymore for elites or politicians. Losing a midterm is not a "consequence" that's just normal politics. Until every Dem is actively pushing for REAL structural reforms, there is no chance there will be consequences

Northwestern and Columbia degrees now worthless.

BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university Full statement from NU below:

In addition to the lives that were lost, what is most disturbing about this is learning that our military will, in fact, obey illegal orders.

“.. an extremely poor showing.” @electrek.co $TSLA electrek.co/2025/11/28/t...

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

ChatGPT is a Dunning-Kruger amplifier.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

This is the guy Trump is basically trying to give Ukraine to. The president is a fool. Putin 'sends top general to Venezuela along with troops tasked with training up President Maduro's forces' as US considers attacking South American country www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

“To the extent that agents use ChatGPT to create their use of force reports, this further undermines their credibility and may explain the inaccuracy of these reports when viewed in light of the BWC footage.” 👀

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

“Two new Cochrane reviews show strong and consistent evidence that HPV vaccines are effective in preventing cervical cancer and pre-cancerous changes, especially when given to young people before they are exposed to the virus.” cc @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

I expect we’ll see more and more of this. I really tried my best to be positive about AI and LLMs the past year but the situation keeps getting worse. Way too much of my life is now spent reviewing AI slop. The impact on open source is dire. ziglang.org/news/migrati...

Then: Investigate and, if needed, blacklist all authors, reviewers, and editors that were involved with this paper. This is independent from the other thing, because no matter if there was AI involved or not, they have chosen not to fulfill their important duty for science. 5/6

I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota. REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members? TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

Literal bullshit machine

Trump is to blame for her death. She should have been with family for the holidays, not performing dumb security theater for a fascist pedophile.

I am in the Midwest and I’m about to experience something for the first time ever. I am from New Mexico. This is exotic and it is thrilling

On one side of the ledger, we have half a trillion dollars in operating losses expected over the next 5 years. On the other side of the ledger, we have all the money we'll hypothetically make when the hypothetical technology we imagine comes into existence mostly on its own. So it's net positive.

JD Vance loves spreading 16th century pro-genocide propaganda so much

not the point, but I did a doubletake on this graphic - "That blob is labeled 'White House' but they left off part of ... oh right"

A new Normandy SR-2 replica (Mass Effect 3 livery) is coming in Spring 2026 at @masterreplicas.bsky.social ! "The model was based on in-game assets to ensure that it is as accurate as possible. It measures 8.66 inches (22 cm) in length."

Guy from Washington state drives across the country, kills two West Virginians who should've been at home, and not deployed in D.C., and so Trump sends 500 more guardsmen to D.C.

i've literally seen this happen IRL

Chalabi 2.0: electric boogaloo

Maybe this tragedy can be a moment to reflect on how war inflicts enduring horror and suffering on us all

The stuff you find when you actually read the RCTs in a systematic review... This paper is one of the foundational studies on vitamin D to prevent respiratory infections in kids. Cited 1,400 times as per Google Scholar.

I think among the last big tells is that fine detail in the background gets weird (bottles, here), and fine detail in the foreground is smoothed over when they should be perfectly in focus and sharp.

"One guy, it doesn't matter who, swears there's a poll out there that says people want to be invaded." What kind of sourcing is this lol

Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, AI related stocks have accounted for 75% of S&P 500 returns, 79% of earnings growth, and 90% of capital spending (Capex and R&D) growth. am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/...

25 hours later

NBC News released new information of Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the suspect in the shooting of 2 National Guard members near White House.

Phone battery math: slow decline to 5%, then drops to 0% within minutes.

Uhh... Some of my mutuals follow him. 😬

Tried both I Love LA and The Chair Company. The latter has something interesting about it, but I utterly cannot stand the main character. The former is just Girls: Los Angeles with less interesting characters.

With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.
