Since generative AI is so good and perfect, and there are plenty of instances where not prompt is needed at all, those skills we're inevitably going to eliminate won't come in handy when shit breaks down. At least we'll have more time for self-improvement. Right? Like last time, right? Hello...?

Nationally, members of law enforcement have killed 1,319 people in 2025. That same year, 44 officers were killed in the line of duty by gun violence. Naturally, we need a "Back the Blue" Act for further protection of officers from Senators Tuberville and Britt. Two of our most stable and sane.

Ja Rule's "Mesmerize" was an early 2000s hit with Ashanti that samples Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross and it reminds me that we used to be a little more subtle with songs about raw fuckin'

It is INCREDIBLE how much of this country's bullshit today can be traced back to 1964.

Of particular interest to design nerds and Gen X. alphabettenthletter.blogspot.com/2013/05/anat...

1865 to 1877 and 1965 to 2026. The two times in United States' history that it came *this close* to a full democracy and ultimately yeet'd the whole thing in order to backpedal to white supremacy. Out of 250 years, only 73 years have even come close to honoring the Constitution properly.

Trump gave an incredibly racist white supremacist speech during King Charles' State visit. Any white person who voted for this ignorant monster should be embarrassed and work hard to unwind this. Any Black or brown person who did, well...fuck you, wake up.

Now that the lethal Attack On Iran™ reality show is in full swing, can we see the evidence that the Iranian regime was *THIS CLOSE* to developing a nuclear weapon? Pretty please?

And the "we're not racist" crowd immediately springs into action. There are only two scenarios that explain this shit: 1) They've always been ready or 2) They were told to get ready. Anyway, fuck these people...

LAST CALL for novellas! We’re looking for dark thrillers, crime noir, and dark speculative fiction—if you’ve got a complete manuscript between 25k-40k words in one of these genres, we want to hear from you. Guidelines: links.ruadanbooks.com/Novellas26 #WriterSky #writingcommunity #AuthorSky

JFC, the GOP is hard-charging at an iceberg, desperately trying to please Trump by passing these obnoxiously expensive bills via any means necessary. This is the party of responsible budgets? These bills will come due and NO ONE is going to be happy with the results.

Its been sanitized out of our history books as being nothing but marches and been repackaged as TV movies about very good white people™️ helping things out alongside sad black organizational and milquetoast radical teddy bears

*chef's kiss*

People cite Jesse Owens' gold medals as a huge fuck you to Hitler and tend not to mention there was a Presidential reception at the White House to honour the returning Olympic athletes and Owens wasn't invited because it was whites only

All this analytical coverage of King Charles' visit to America is...remarkable. Breathless, in-depth observations about something that will make absolutely no difference at all. The POTUS and allies only change course when forced to. Expecting "diplomacy" of any sort to affect change here is a joke.

Aside from it being a theft-machine and a scapegoat for laziness and a thought-conditioning brainwashing machine and a cheater’s best friend, it’s also convincing my students they’re terrible writers so they don’t even bother trying to express themselves or play with language. So, the hell with AI.

My family has fought for the United States in every war—including the Civil War—to this day. Every. One. #thread

So... It's a legal gerrymander when the map is redrawn for GOP advantage that disenfranchises POC, but it's illegal to draw a map that benefits Democrats because benefitting POC is racist. We are pinwheeling into the past and literally no one is going to be happy with the results, in the end.

"Two Jewish people were stabbed in north London on Wednesday, witnesses told CNN, in an incident that comes against the backdrop of a series of antisemitic attacks in the UK capital."

These are the same folks who believe Haitian immigrants are eating pets, Somalians are responsible for all the fraud in MN, TPS is for freeloaders, trans people are a threat, everyone else is a terrorist, while also believing that America has been the greatest force for good in the world. 🙄

Sergey Brin blew through $57 MILLION dollars to defeat California's "billionaire tax"!? This makes sense only if "Dragon Disorder" is real. This muthafuckah is greedy AF. Dude's got $57 million clams to piss away, but still...

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

This feels like fodder for a Kimmel skit where he enters people's homes who don't want to listen to him and just chatters away while ignoring their pleas for him to leave. These people are so stupid and unserious. And stupid.

Okay, so, now it's not okay to make public statements or speculate about the president's age and mental fitness? We can just say the average, human male life expectancy in the U.S. is 76.5 years, I guess, and it is factual that the current POTUS—the healthiest we've ever had—is 79+ years now. 🤔

Knead Doughnuts has an Earl Grey Old Fashioned donut in play and it is DELIGHTFUL. Me strolling into the shop:

I don't know how a neuroscientist with cancer can ever think ChatGPT gives better advice than his oncologist, but the commercialization of AI doesn't seem to be helping anyone very much.

The 988 suicide hotline has restored the press #3 option for LGBTQ+ connection and that's a good thing. This horrific administration eliminated it, at the start, but now it's back.

New to me t-shirt. Vote, donate your time and resources accordingly. Mitigate harm when possible, equity and inclusion always.

There are many bad things in the world, and this is one of them. #thread

Pretty cool how the Director of the FBI referred to the KKK as a "supposed hate group." Yeah, pretty cool...

An endless parade of weirdo simps for a decades-long over-committed-to-the-bit, narcissistic weirdo with no discernible, common human traits that anyone could recognize or enjoy. Maybe it's the rat's nest of dried piss on his half-orange-half-pasty head these freaks are into? Who the fuck knows?

Prince (1958–2016) Still feels weird that he's gone.

"We will kill as many Iranian men, women, and children as it takes to demonstrate our respect and admiration for the Iranian people."

I was listening to an interview about the upcoming confirmation hearings for Fed Chair and the interviewee casually mentioned "...the surge in AI productivity..." and I was very, very confused. What was he talking about? What surge? Please, someone help me out here.

This is what I think of whenever someone—especially a Black person—trots out that "Trump saved" bullshit. He saved nothing but himself, full stop. open.substack.com/pub/michaelh...

The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Very cool. community.wacom.com/en-us/mingju...

I keep wondering this myself. 🧐

Yyyaaaayyyy... I'm sure police departments are still confused as to why so many people hate them. 🙄

"One clove of garlic." EXACTLY. 🤣

Why didn't the NYPD tase machete guy at Grand Central?

I am foolishly watching JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH and I tend to judge media thusly: 1) Idea 2) Execution

As long as she's paying taxes, voting, and serving jury duty... 🤷🏾‍♂️ youtube.com/shorts/n1NFl...

Joe Rogan spent the entire election cycle campaigning for the far-right candidate, now he says he wants a "logical centrist government". Bro, Kamala Harris WAS the centrist, which you would have seen if you weren't a racist piece of shit who went out of your way to ratfuck her comms team.

"Hulk Hogan: Real American" Can't argue with the accuracy of that title for his documentary. 🙄

Hard to disagree with. 🤔 open.substack.com/pub/alisav/p...

Look no further than a Supreme Court justice rubber-stamping racial profiling and a federal judge condoning a "list of Jews" as examples of institutional racism. This country has been coming at folks who aren't white, straight, and male for a long, long time. Imagine what solidarity there could do.

An entertaining "live" #thread about the USSC session on birthright citizenship. People like @brackenmacleod.bsky.social who court watch and understand the more obscure nerdery here will have a very fine chuckle, indeed.
