TOP SECRET EYES ONLY

🎼 There is a doggie on a cloud I like to go there when I sleep 😪 Petting the dog is not allowed 🤬 But I still do it on the cloud 😈

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

i've made a new comic called "TOY STORY II: a sequel to Toy Story".

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it. The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

The only Olympic facts I care about are the ones about deprecated artistic medals

So it's ok to start a war illegally against a nation of 92 million, for whom you have "no sympathy" as long as the purpose is clear? The Big Dem line that Trump is a demented fascist domestically while simultaneously agreeing his foreign policy decisions just isn't gonna cut it anymore.

this is that democratic party social media venture kamala harris announced. this is their big idea to attract young voters.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

If this rock was a side character in a niche PS2 game with a cult following this is what it would sound like

This is from a longer piece and the whole story is crazy. LARB -- which as far as anyone knows is just someone's shitty blog -- manages to have a whole tier of upper managers who impose non-profit respectability politics and and genocide apologia on everyone else who works there.

This is so wild. A Senior Editor at LARB referred to a California volunteer IDF genocidaire as a “survivor.” You can’t make this up.

out this afternoon, we saw a crow land near a little planter, stick its head inside, and COME BACK OUT WITH A PEANUT IN SHELL, which it opened and ate. it stashed it there! oddly i suspect the crow knew i was watching, because when (after) i tossed it another peanut, it grabbed it right away. 🧐🧐🧐

This is a scary story and I think a sign of worse things to come. But I was confused by something: how exactly did grok de-anonymize Dahl? Was it ephemerally public info (eg leaked by a creep) that had previously been squashed? Or could grok be working with non-public face databases??

Great example of capture: UK ministry of defence forced to buy new Palantir product because competitor wouldn’t function with Palantir product. Sovereignty as a service. www.ft.com/content/5207...

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Greg Grandin suggests, more or less in passing, that the virulence of the US evangelical right is blowback from the CIA's support of evangelical-right death cults in Latin America in the '70s and '80s. Could that be right?

I'm adverse to this one

i needed some comedy back in my politics and mgp’s lobbying to be able to kill corolla-sized sea lions is that

If it was here I wouldn't feel safe until he died there. Just takes another illiterate fucking redneck to pardon him and he's back baby. But it would be nice to see him behind bars.

Trying not to tilt over bait post implying "leftists" are being mean to AI. Like what proportion of LLM activation states do you think are affected by leftist meanness? If models have welfare at all, what matters is how they are used on an industrial scale -- which is not by "leftists."

This is what happens when you stop placing harms to health on the other side of the ledger.

Quick question for the Kill Iranian Civilians Now fans: how are Iranians going to make money (even under the very competent regime of Reza Pahlavi) if all the economic infrastructure of the country is destroyed? Is economic devastation good for progressive social change and stable democracy?

dog what does "understanding" mean

It was front mission alternative PS1, with the Dingus

I don’t think enough attention is being given to how and why strikes are spreading across California — yes, salaries don’t meet the cost of living, but charter schools have also just decimated public school populations to the point that districts can barely function. We can do better than this. 🤬

Well, this is a bit of a plot twist.

Have you guys seen that Google paper that posits that humans have an as-yet-undiscovered LLM-like device in their brain for making normative judgements?

#tbt my dad razzing me for selecting "soul-wise, these are trying times" as the most likely completion of that passage of Tom Paine.

"Why Is Trump Dumping East Wing Rubble in a Public Park? The East Potomac Golf Links is a municipal course that has been a fixture in Washington for decades. President Trump is turning it into something else." -- www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

Like Epstein, Brunel was found hanged in his cell before his trial could proceed.

Might go down as the funniest post in site history

Me to my Korean friends as I watch their democracy succeeding at punishing an insurrection while our own failed miserably to do so:

The best write up I've ever read on the group I used to be affiliated with.

The justification for war with Iran is so paper thin it's almost funny. Everyone knows it's for two stupid illegal and immoral reasons: 1: Ensure Israel has no state enemies 2: Residual anger by our gerontocracy who haven't gotten over 1979 and the hostage crisis

The US is poised to engage in an unprovoked war of aggression against a country of 92 million, which will cause economic and political reverberations that dwarf the War on Terror and become a core factor of American life for decades. And these rats are like 🤓☝️ the polls say trans ppl are gross 😏

the unreasonable effectiveness of fooling ourselves

Heartwarmed and flattered by a new crop of folks getting into Caves of Qud on Switch. If you're having trouble with how deranged it is at the start, please stick with it: it gets much worse
