JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election. As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

I don't think anyone is noticing that Trump, Musk, and Gates's victims filed a lawsuit against them in Palm Beach County for their alleged trafficking network. Death threats and all kinds of mob tactics were used to keep victims quiet, and the primary plaintiff is seeking her child back.

Chiitan Knight will continue to spread his message until there are no more transgender people who are subjected to unjustified criticism and slander♡ Let's create a world where we can all love freely🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

in the current age, when intellectualism is under attack, one of the most radical things you can do is continue to learn and seek out knowledge knowledge is, quite literally, power

Me crunching the night before every storyboard pitch swearing to have better time management skills vs me right after the pitch as if she didn't learn her fkking lesson

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

jeffries likes "strong floor, no ceiling" because it specifically rejects progressive calls to reign in billionaires.

So many people have dismissed me because it's a bubble and bubbles burst, but like, this one needs opposition. This bubble NEEDS to burst, and the entire apparatus of rich people is trying to reinforce it. We have to make AI not only a class traitor thing, but extremely dorky and uncool.

Also, not for nothing, but dismantling capitalism will be virtually impossible if this weird AI coup they are attempting works. Reality will be so destabilized and impossible to agree on we will fracture into dust. You've really got to fight this, everywhere and time you see it. It's vital.

I crafted a really long and heartfelt post about how lots of folks, myself included, warned of the speed and ferocity that Gen Ai would attack industries. But I deleted it cause I’m tired. So here’s the short version: People did warn everyone about this, it was often dismissed, now we’re jobless.

Every day I see an infographic that’s like “Oxygen Is Now Owned By SludgeCorp: How To Keep Breathing Without Letting It Drain Your Vital Essence“ and then I have to spend an hour of my precious life figuring out if it’s worth it to stop breathing

Gonna be vague with this one on purpose but I had a recently uncomfortable personal incident with someone who is not a bad person or even a CEO but **very much** of an executive mentality and… now that interaction makes a LOT of sense when contextualized with this 😔

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely. They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things. Only you have the power to kill it.

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.

dropout hire me to do your props, I’m good at making them and I once trolled Postmates into changing their policy on live animal orders

First rule of Murder Club is: you do not talk about Murder Club, Petey.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Gen Ai.

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

@moryan.bsky.social’s excellent BURN IT DOWN makes me think it’s not just about rehabbing talent but about a desire of some to return to the culture of the bad old days….

Private equityyyyyyyyyyyyyy

They’re burying the weirdest part of this story, which is that this congressman’s twin brother keeps trying and failing to replace him in various jobs and is now hoping to replace him in this one

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

Saw ai guys getting excited about a new image generator and all the comments were like “it’s over for Instagram” and “it’s over for hinge” which underlines that these people have a combination of hatred for and misunderstanding of life

Drew the original Gojira, 1954. I've done at least three other Goji suit portraits like this and am thinking to do a few more.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

Now this is journalism. Point it out. POINT IT THE FUCKOUT. They are PRETENDING to not get it.

Elias. Freaking. Pettersson. Enough said. #Canucks

Here's a note I sent to our members about what we did with their money, and why we expect the Onion to outgrow the Washington Post. We keep doing weird, hard shit — taunting ICE, yelling at Congress for not taunting ICE, buying bad websites — when nobody else does. Our members keep getting papers.

genuinely think we have a moral obligation to be rude & cruel to scammers and grifters. they prey on ppl's manners and politesse and inability to say no. call it when you see it even if it makes you uncomfortable. right now they are being rewarded at all time highs & they need to be shaken

Mike Johnson will not see this

yeah I feel a very high sense of alarm about what the "incapable of loving our country" goalposts are going to include quite certainly they're going to try very hard to use it on elected Democrats which is at least one reason I feel like we need to be TALKING ABOUT IMPEACHMENT WAY MORE THAN WE ARE

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

All Charmanders, Charmeleons, and Charizards from here on out will be named Widehead. Comic by pocketss All voices by me~

clarence thomas has no jurisprudential argument, he just hates women and thinks the constitution doesn’t protect a varia suit

More of this energy!

bush administration spent 18 months carefully building a false case for war and they could've just done this

Dude who just got the SV Bank bailout two years ago is back banging the cup. It’s a tell.

Being a Layout Artist on 'Let's Go Luna!' was such a delight. I'd love the chance to work again with my team from the show~ #layoutartist #backgroundartist #illustration

the worst fucking thing about capitalism is that it just totally falls apart and shows its ass as the gigantic pyramid scheme it all really is when it can't make the Line Go Up
