Over the past 13 years police in the United States have killed approximately 16,000 people. Over the same period in the UK, the figure is 34

In the American form of government it is easier to pay companies $2.5 billion to do nothing than to spend any amount of money on the poor

Beakman gets Final Destionationed

Read this thread and tell me EDDINGTON isn’t the film of the decade

this is going to be responsible for a lot of Discourse

turns out AI can do incredible & lovely things 💖

This kind of person's job is to look at something extremely obvious and pretend they have no idea how it happened

Nothing particularly creative to say about this, it’s just dementia tbh. Found an old picture of a blonde (looks like it’s Clinton-era Camp David) and thinks it’s his daughter. Pretty much a textbook symptom.

yeah unfortunately the point at which security agents started manufacturing crimes to so they could arrest people to support the delusions of a single personalist ruler was the point at which the story stopped being silly heavy-handed metaphor and started being of real concern

🤡 🤡 🤡

sigh

"this guy seems like a stable partner we can work with" - both parties in the united states government

This is the most Frank Drebin shit I’ve ever seen

in this story the neighbors notice something is wrong, stop to help, call someone else to come translate, film everything, defend the victim from further attacks from a belligerent armed racist, and call 911 *four times* over several *hours* before the cops roll up and immediately kill someone

i will turn on this thing so quickly i swear to god

An interesting thread from a month ago that predicted exactly what we’re seeing in the reflecting pool now (peeling up, prolific microbial activity)

the first sentence here was broad enough that I wasn't sure which conservative it was about

Happy Thursday. Hillary Clinton is praising Donald Trump while Barack Obama hangs out with George Bush. You have to vote blue no matter who to save democracy.

Maggie Haberman what are those fuckin glasses

Boy, seeing them all gathered together like this really makes you think about their legacies and how each of them, in their own way, paved the way for Trump to happen not once but twice.

Take the bosses’ snacks, then form a union anyway.

many people are saying "Nektulos", "Neriak", things of this nature

funny example of how bad the Democrats are at politics is they will somehow become the pro-Israel party

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas

Ignoring the fact this is not how the money works re: Iran, Democrats love to post "with all the wasted money we could do all of these things that we also do not support."

Thank you President Trump for finally ending the 3000 year long war with Iran. Promises kept

honestly I love that Republicans are becoming openly pro-Iran. it tracks that they would submit to the stronger nation

My only checking account I had until like 5 years ago was “shared” with my dad - he needed to co-sign because I was younger than 18 when I set it up. And it’s a huge pain in the ass to remove someone when you’re older

Still don’t know how anthropic and OpenAI got away with doing this to books

this man DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IT!!! New York City is not unique because of WALKING, it's because you can either see a business open or see 9/11!!

Remember, it's only a waste of taxpayer money when it is something that is being done to help other people

why does Lionel Messi look like the exact midpoint between Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

Please send me posts like these, they’re so funny

>renames it to the Department of War >names himself the Secretary of War >fights one war >loses

this look like such shit i cannot believe they released this lmao

“everyone injecting themselves with black market drugs” makes it official that we are living in cyberpunk

“industry convinced us to be okay with cars mowing down kids and taking away public space. we can also adjust to all the harms of the product making me a lot of money.”

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings.” bad news Ursula, divine right of kings is making a comeback

“Trump spent 112 billion to close Hormuz and 300 billion to reopen it”

There is not an editor in the world that would let you get away with this in fiction, the notes would be EXCORIATING

I hate this piece of shit as much as anyone else in this fucking administration

i'm not sure any tech criticism i could put forward rn would be more effective than the totality of this screenshot

what the fuck are you talking about

I respect every Rob Schneider, every James Woods, more than the evil pussy that is a Nate Bargatze

"when i was growing up, humans had freedom in the world. now it's a cage and we all just got used to it" - the sales pitch for AI

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

There’s nothing cheaper about this country than the way rich people can ruin it with the tiniest bribe

Every once in a while I remember Joe Biden is still alive lol

we were wrong to ever stop referring to them as micro$ux
