An artifact of a better time

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

For as much Elon Musk has bragged about building X, The Everything App, Zuck actually did it with the ecosystem of Facebook, Threads, Instagram, and WhatsApp, doing argubly more to incite genocides and spread deadly disinformation with less elite pushback bsky.app/profile/alex...

this guy is the co-founder of Airbnb

new metaphor just dropped

Can’t sleep, went for it @phat7deuce.bsky.social

Incredibly frustrating that Americans aperture of government is themselves and maybe the UK. Any policy from Asia, Africa or Europe is generally ignored at best. Case in point "only the UK" has implemented child social media bans. Nonsense wired-parents.com/tracker/

I am going to log off because I am so disappointed that a number of Americans who I thought would know better are so instent that we lack air conditioning in Europe because of a sense of moral superiority. We cannot consume our way out of this *currently*. There are legal and structural reasons.

That Musk is on a daylong crashout over this is an indication that somewhere in his little bird brain is the realization that, no matter what else he does, one of the first lines in his obituary is going to be about how he directly oversaw the circumstances for millions of excess deaths globally

Elon Musk is apparently going with "the Lancet study that proved I am responsible for the deaths of millions of children was concocted by the evil Jewish puppet master." Because Elon Musk is ideologically a neo-Nazi.

we got 1000 dollar consoles now but it's chill cause the worst person you know can generate fake videos of things they pretend happen to get mad at on demand

Keir is about to give his shahada and declare the caliphate of the isles and welcome all of the ummah home #blessed

The American mind cannot comprehend this

Again, need to say it - if Biden, Obama or any other Democratic President publicly endorsed Iran having ballistic missiles after launching an ill advised war to essentially eliminate Iran's missile launching capabilities - Congress (even a Dem led one) would launch impeachment proceedings next day.

Re. the press gallery. They like her and want her to win

One Nation want to replace actual, existing, vibrant cultures, the ones you and I spend our time reproducing, in actual, existing groups of people in civil society, with Facebook uncle sentiment and paid-for slop. Those are the stakes.

I'm for extremely late term abortions for One Nation Voters, like 500 months post term

Hanson's press club screed is some of the most vile auspol there's ever been, next election is going to be disgraceful

"Fresh Butternut Pumpkin Whole".

Should have done this forever ago

GET FUCKED TURKEY

It can't be overstated how he really doesn't know how anything works but was mythologized as a supergenius engineer by a shitty press

The world’s first trillionaire took away our Ebola response capacity, gave us screwworms, hollowed out our government so he could pay less taxes, and condemned millions of the world’s most vulnerable people to death.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

This was a race riot. Families were driven from their homes. People were targeted because of who they are and where they come from. Words matter. Those who fuel hatred and division bear responsibility too. We have more in common than that which divides us.

sorry man you cant be showing me boring shit like this im thinking about the ethical implications of 1800s yakuza tupac for like the res tof the show

"The Food and Drug Administration is advising consumers not to purchase or use Big Penis"

lmao

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Perennial

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

Nothing can prepare you for who's singing this National Anthem (via lpaulfranklin / TT)

oh god was he in the files

From the main Discord I'm in: "i'm not a furry but this is the least fuckable fox mccloud has ever looked" #StarFox

trump is breaking y axes left and right

This again is one of the problems of this whole thing. The Iranian leadership is not "insane." They're fairly rational actors that seem to behave in rational ways, but if you keep saying they're insane there's no way you can talk to them.

Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, on Putin's threats:

I'm utterly fascinated by the modern art of journalistic simulacrum at no point do this piece's four authors consider wandering anywhere close to the idea of corruption, or that Trump says a lot of things that are utterly meaningless, or that our regulators no longer function in the public interest

Bring back the ancient knowledge

once again, it is great that the president is a klan-level racist

It's important to remember that, yes, sometimes good things still happen. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.
