Oh wow, another leftist stanning for Platner. Color me wholly unsurprised.

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

I may have found the most delusional person on BlueSky. Multiple false claims, no evidence, and when I showed them evidence from the election that they're wrong, they doubled down. Amazing stuff. All in defense of Bernie too.

I've noticed a new level of micro-targeting ads. We've been bingeing Abbott Elementary and the Xfinity commercial with Frankenstein comes in all the time. There is a clip where he sits down to watch a sports multicast for a few seconds, and the screen shows active video with audio. /1

Probably not the best place to ask this, but what is the real difference between generative AI, machine-learning, LLMs, predictive text, etc. Is it just raw computing power at scale, or something radically different?

I can't believe this shit is real. "Are we the baddies?" come to life, but they're totally on board with it all.

Dude lasted .5 Scaramuccis, which means he must have seen some more oppo research about to come out and was like "NOT ON MY WATCH LOL!"

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

"It’s not that progressives and centrists are incapable of understanding one another, or compromising... it’s that factional actors often go out of their way to dramatize differences for the broader public, and in doing so they behave like assholes." www.offmessage.net/p/how-to-inh...

It's like he summarized every moronic leftist justification to either NOT vote for Harris or TO vote for the guy with a Nazi tattoo. Perfection.

I spend all this time trying to figure out what the master plan is, and it always hits me: nothing. Just conspiracy brain worms all the way down. And the most smug self-righteousness as Kennedy and cronies destroy over a century of concerted scientific effort and hard work.

*Nobody* watches Heat for the wigs.

I actually do want the next president to appoint someone like Stephen Miller, except I want it to be Bill Kristol, and I want his monomaniacal obsession to be destroying Trump’s legacy and prosecuting everyone in the administration.

Wow, can’t imagine why Jacobin hasn’t managed to expand the presence of leftists in the United States with phenomenal stances like this

Besides the fact that people can be angry about multiple things at once and protest more than one thing at a time, this is very, very wrong. People care about symbols and that's also a way to motivate them for good or ill. Look at how successful Trump was at marketing that photo of him /1

Bernie Sanders Ryan Grim Zaid Jilani Krystal Ball Jon Lovett Matt Stoller Lyle Jeremy Rubin Ariella Elm Who else is either chiding us for being upset about a Nazi tattoo or actively still supporting Platner?

There it is.

Re: Platner, based on the comments I've seen today, the Venn diagram of people who say something like: - "You'd rather support someone in favor of the Holocaust in Gaza or - "I don't want another candidate bought by AIPAC!" And... - Those who are excusing the Nazi tattoo Is a perfect circle.

gd grant me the confidence of a mediocre white goy who does unspeakable evil while drunk off his ass and doesn't apologize for it or even admit it for decades, then thinks he deserves to have easy street to high office regardless

This thread has a been a handy tool to expand my block list because the people Adam describes are crawling out of the woodwork to prove him right.

Graham Platner: "Hey guys, I understand now that the tattoo of Hitler on my chest was perceived by some to be a little problematic. So I fixed it!" [Rips off t-shirt like Hulk Hogan to display a messy-looking Stalin tattoo] Bernie Sanders and his bros: "Perfect, we love it even more!"

"Why don't you like Bernie and those leftists, Bill?" This is why. I can't stand vets who use this excuse for their behavior, and for Bernie to make this comment when he never served is just as bad. Disown the guy with the Nazi tattoo. It's not hard. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

When I went to USMC Officer Candidate School in 2000 as a prior enlisted candidate, one of the other priors with me was a Scout Sniper, and we were practically rackmates as our last names ended in "H", so we got to know each other well. A common thing back then for Scout Snipers to do was /1

NORMALIZE HOLDING POTENTIAL OFFICE HOLDERS TO HIGHER STANDARDS AGAIN! Especially at the Federal level. It's not hard to do!

There were warning signs BEFORE the Nazi tattoo came out. And this guy hasn't acknowledged he was wrong, but is posting milkshake duck memes now, like he wasn't fooled. 🙄

The OP turned off replies, but I'd like to know how what the UK is proposing is worse than what we're doing in the U.S. now with the ICE raids, ending visa programs, screening social media, etc. Not a competition, but I can't see how it could be worse than what Trump is doing here.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

In 2024, Charlie Kirk assigned his podcast co-host Blake Neff the task of taking MLK down a peg in the public's estimation. Neff is most well known for having been fired by Tucker Carlson in 2020 for being exposed as a white nationalist. www.wired.com/story/charli...

Compare yesterday's millions to this and how we couldn't escape breathless coverage of the Tea Partiers at their peak.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again. www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

What is wrong with people? He doesn't have a perfect, DSA-approved voting record, which I noted. Now I'm a fascist. Jesus fucking Christ with these morons.

Replace VAR with NFL instant replay crews. At least they get it right 99.9% of the time.

Posted eight months ago (I just saw it today), and it's like the admin used it as a roadmap. Jesus.

Exactly. Whoever wins whichever Dem primaries you can vote in, you vote for that person. Harass them about whatever policy goals they have you don't like AFTER they're in office.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

I didn't work with him directly, but we would have been roughly peers had I stayed in longer and not retired in 2014. I wish more of the people I served with were as honorable as him.

Consecutive posts on my feed right now. I guess in the age of Trump, it's impossible to say that past statements can ruin a political career anymore, but the second screenshot sure seems like something only Trump could get away with unscathed.

And there you have it. These strikes are clearly not legal. Pete will push commanders aside until he finds one who won’t question these extrajudicial killings. #SOUTHCOM

if you're black and 14, you're a man. if you're white and 40, you're just a kid

The Capitol Police ten seconds after investigating: "It's his, there's prints and DNA matches on the Nazi flag. Oh, that was too fast? Maybe you shouldn't have let Trump pardon the J6'ers."

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor. According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

The thing is that the modern GOP (not to mention its basement-confined moron stepchild, the Mises Caucus libertarian “party”) is accurately depicted by this language and a critical mass of the party is absolutely fine with it. /1

Turns out your assumptions about what republican group chats are like is correct www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trumps head of operations for the war being waged in Chicago is openly trying to channel the supposedly masculine imagery of the Nazis Make no mistake these domestic enemies waging war against the states are Nazis. Bovino is really trying to sell its aesthetic now.
