i can't describe for you the weirdness of visiting one of the (relatively few) parts of the world that has a high background level of regard and gratitude for the U.S.A. It feels like stepping into a mirror universe.

Look I'm sorry but you gotta leave twitter. Like you gotta delete the account. Yeah I know the name squatting thing but like come on if it's that much of a danger take a screenshot of you deleting your account and save it somewhere. Like the verification system already doesn't work there the fuck

elon musk knows about the sexual harassment and CSAM generating bot he’s created and he likes it and endorses it! pedocon rapist theory

“It's time to limit the First Amendment” says Shlomo Kramer. Kramer is an Israeli, a veteran of the IDF's Unit 8200 (its clandestine counterintel and cyber warfare operation), a multi-billionaire, and co-founder of cyber-security companies, including Check Point, which is used by the US government.

Osgood Perkins being my most watched director of 2025 according to @letterboxd.social I expected, given I watched two of his films, but the most watched actor being an obscure random character actor made me laugh hysterically.

You're quoting a self-service kiosk, you dipshits.

Am I sharing this because it's an interesting story about the challenges of using lunar water to fuel rockets? No, I'm sharing it because I deeply respect that the writer used the term "benighted chasms."

This book is superb, and formed the theoretical backbone of my show GEBURAH.

uh holy SHIT?

Gap Unveils New 'For Kids By Kids' Clothing Line

"Lapses" implies there was a safeguard that failed. I really doubt the memo said "fix the little hole in that system we already have that blocks CSAM."

This is so sad that a master artist is in this situation. Please help if you can.

they saw arab spring and went 'hell no'. they saw gamergate and said 'hell yes' and now here we are

'elon's so stupid he ran twitter into the ground' i mean if you thought that he bought it to develop a free and open speech platform idk what to tell ya!

they successfully destroyed the organizing locations online

Whether it’s Barack Obama being the editor of Harvard Law Review or Donald Trump narrowly passing a cognitive test used to detect dementia, there’s plenty of serious intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.

Dial 1 for housing & ask can you get your hands on one of these many boarded up council homes on Dominic Street, Shandon near Cork city centre This is unacceptable Structural violence & vandalism boarding up homes & keeping them from families who have no home 😡 #DerelictIreland #speirgorm

This isn't just about stopping aid, this is about removing "respectable" witnesses. When a Palestinian testifies to Israeli atrocities Israel can smear and undermine them. When a white English surgeon testifies to the atrocities he has personally treated its harder for the West to ignore.

I cannot brain today, i have the dumb.

When we say Starmer has no political instincts this is a good example. Yer Da has long since forgotton he's angry at Kneecap so pumping money into this case is a lose/lose situation. You're just going to create a new headline when it gets thrown out again.

The best part of the Pluribus season finale is when Carol dropped this bomb. Absolute masterclass from Gilligan.

X is run by a Nazi and it's in built LLM generates child sex abuse material and pornographic images of people without their consent, but on the other hand, I am a dopamine addict who craves attention and need the validation of the remaining other addicts. So it's not so simple.

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

I have written about this. #r4today screedvault.neocities.org/post/2026010...

day one in mamdani’s new york

Trans communities warned for years about the NYT's transphobia, but the specifics of how this was ordered were often shrouded behind corporate hierarchy. No more. Sweeney lays out specifically how the highest ranks of the NYT rigged coverage in favor of anti-trans bigots.

No company or organization that values its customers or safety should be on X or using musktech. Period. End of discussion. Especially in states with stuff like Jessica's or Megan's Law. If I see a business active on X or its employees using xAI/grok, i see this as a do not cross/engage red line

‘There was panic’: Neighbour tells of rescuing children from Finglas home targeted by arsonists

some of you haven't heard of jamie meal

"do you have any resolutions this year?"

For the last few days on X, people (mainly women, and sometimes children) have had nonconsensual images of them in swimsuits (or much worse) requested by users and created by Grok. Musk's only apparent response thus far has been to crack jokes about it.

Saw Bloodsport tonight. A fun little fight classic, but its really crying out for a remake. Weird seeing JCVD take all his fights extra slow so he can look like the underdog goodie in the fighting tournament, and I was more interested in the hulking best friend played by Donald Gibb.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

It's worth listening to what native people are saying about the Avatar movies. The racial tropes the series plays around with aren't just silly and awkward, they have a real effect on the people whose histories they're parodying.

🎶 twin high maintenance machines 🎶

been kind of a funny thing seeing some reaction to this being "what's he talking about, republicans don't know how to speak with civility and decorum" just - zoop - right over the head

The 2024 election was a cost of living election and a referendum on the failings of the Biden administration, and the main theme of 2025 was people mistaking that for a total cultural victory for the far right and acting accordingly, to the horror and confusion of average Americans

A message for you all to carry through the year

one last time, for the road

I wonder what part of lower bills, tax billionaires they're panicking about most? Cry harder. Join.greenparty.org.uk

the energy i’m bringing to the new year

Elon turning Twitter, which is dense with egirls, into a revenge porn generator with Grok is already insane enough. But what's even funnier is Grok then going "yeah if I did that thing i am currently doing, it would be illegal and criminal"

Happy Public Domain Day, gang! Nancy Drew, The Shadow, Japanese superhero Golden Bat, and Betty Boop (dog version) have all just had their copyrights expire. Go nuts!

It’s not even “are these people racist?” It’s “do these people have any beliefs at all besides white supremacy?”
