We’re gonna need a bigger reconstruction.

Northern New Jerseyans: if it means anything at all to say Cammie Croft was in my wedding, I'd trust her with my kids, and I endorse her for Congress wholeheartedly … well, I'll say that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

we should wrap ourselves in the flag while defending trans rights. it says in our founding documents that we are all equal and to say that any of us are not goes up against what america is supposed to stand for. real patriots support trans rights. otherwise you're unamerican.

Well. Turns out that Penn & Teller are quite good at magic, eh? Who knew!

Alright, we understand it's ridiculous that pregnant women are being discouraged from using Tylenol... Now we just need to take that a bit further & consider how tough it is for people with chronic pain to get adequate pain management & how stigmatized their meds are. Everyone deserves pain control.

autumn vibes 🍃🍂🍁

The right's obsession with The View is so telling. Like it's not some radical leftist show, it's just some ladies talking, and it terrifies them.

Also does Kimmel coming back mean the Rapture is cancelled, please someone tell me, I've having a terrible time keeping track of these things

But not for the reasons you're thinking.

Trump's numbers are collapsing across the board and yet these guys are racing to tell us who we need to throw overboard to win white independents

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

Personally, I think an antebellum election is an ideal we should look to in building a multiracial democracy, ditto for FDR, because the conditions under which those elections were held *should* be very different from our own.

It cannot be the case that racism in the United States isn’t a powerful force in social life *and* you have to accept racism to have any path towards national power in the United States.

They demand people accept a “tradeoff” in which they don’t have to actually lose the Black support they’re willing to trade in. Which is impossible.

No clerks. No building. No budget. No shadow docket. Ride the circuit. 25 justices, with 9 chosen by lottery. We will treat you like petulant children until you stop ignoring the law, Constitution, precedent, Article I, voters, & the plain meaning of words. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

The apparent success of the boycott in defence of an incredibly wealthy white man, who has an extensive resources, cannot be where y’all put down your pitchforks. Take the win, turn the momentum to the defence of Mahmoud Khalil. Free speech, right?

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

"I did a deep dive on ______ and I don't see the racism..." You became more of a red flag and a threat than I thought. 😮‍💨

So you know how many views Charlie Kirk’s memorial got online in TOTAL now a day later ? 26000 Folks are having “dialogues” to see both sides with folks who can’t top a mid level anime food influencer At some point we admit they aren’t being bullied . They’re racists weaponizing cowardice

NOBODY LIKES THIS GUY! EVERYBODY LOVES MAMDANI!

sucks that we have to go to work the day before a rapture

With the weather in the northern hemisphere cooling again, it reminds me that it's SOUP SEASON! And of this fabulous piece by @alexkrokus.bsky.social!

Republicans held a Nazi rally yesterday. Chuck Schumer also spent yesterday asking them to be bipartisan negotiators.

It's dispiriting in part because there are a bunch of people in the room who spent our entire lives telling us how they're the adults, and lecturing us about eating our economic vegetables. And now that the room is ON FIRE, it's "oh gosh well have we considered being more polite to the arsonist"

believe it or not, there was a time on the internet where it did not feel like you were constantly getting clonked on the head with hammers. there were problems, sure. but the concussion symptoms were way, way lower, on average.

Seems unlikely.

I almost feel like I need to go back and watch it now because it feels like they just gave us a full psychological workup that documents all their pathologies explicitly

I don’t let white people tell me to be humble, thanks.

So. Again: There's no such thing as a "Generative AI" system that doesn't generate bullshit, because the processes whereby bullshit is generated are the exact same processes via which "Gen AI" do anything at all. And this was obvious from even a broadly theoretical understanding of their operations

This is… on point!

We had a dry run a couple weeks ago, but we all knew it was a drill, the real thing is going to be something else.

"I exist" whoa slow down why are you bringing politics into this

This one

Blob being a very specific technical term is also very funny at times.

If you’re too afraid to do your job, you should quit your job. If you’re too afraid to report on what’s going on because you’re afraid of MAGA death threats, you should stop being a reporter. if you’re too afraid to vote against honoring a white nationalist due to death threats, you should resign.

The media haranguing Biden but letting this shit slide with Trump is going to be one of the great mysteries of our time for future civilizations.

That we have to have landmark studies to prove that a trowel is able to trowel soil but can't really run PS3 games, just because five of the stupidest people in the world said trowels can run PS3 games and that everyone should give them money about it AND THEY DID

The Bluesky Experience™

“The computer acts like a computer” is such a profound and such a mundane result, all at once. It’s far more shocking that reasonable-sounding people have argued that massive datasets contain within them a secret truth that only will be revealed by… multinomial logits

“Making a joke about an assassination—there is no room for that at all.”

like that was kind of the point of the article, trump’s favorite guys being above the law. they’re gonna kill a slam dunk bribery investigation to maybe nail him on tax evasion later? is this question a joke i’m not getting?

What!!?

The biggest takeaway from it is that this kid, who I guess I thought of for a while as earth's most confident dude, was an anxious wreck throughout, shrinkingly shy of the girls around him and way more relatable than you ever imagined.

I will day this, the Disney Adults have proven themselves much more ready to meet this moment than any Harry Potter Adult has.

This entire Jimmy Kimmel situation shows, again, white folks can shut all this down whenever they want. But they won’t because they’re not against authoritarianism and hate. They’re just against it when it affects them.

My sort of crank, not thought through theory is that as MBA brain has proliferated, management of businesses has gotten more and more divorced from the particulars of the businesses they’re managing, and CEOs’ jobs are “business” in the same way Ken’s job is “beach.”

when they used to say "twitter isn't real life," what they meant was they thought progressive viewpoints were overrepresented there.
