10 years ago : blockchain is the future of banking. if you don't understand you're an idiot 5 years ago : you're a dumbass if you dont get in on the ground level of the nft-do-not-copy.jpg Now : you don't understand the stock market. NVIDIA can only grow until it's the only company in the world

There's a question here that I don't think a lot of people want to ask, because the answer is just too grim to contemplate, and that's how is this murder not a policy victory for the British government? Is this not the intended outcome of smearing trans people as dangerous predators?

Lbr the point of incrementalism is to placate progressives so they shut up not to aim for the goals of progressives in a mythical long run

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

when this piece of shit is asked what good phone pouches are supposed to do, shs responds glibly about online radicalisation. where else would children learn to be transphobic in the tolerant UK, after all? ridiculous

People in the UK aren't getting transphobia from weird niche online communities. They're getting it from the prime minister, the BBC, politicians and the newspapers in every newsagents in the country.

Joyce Carol Oates hates 3 things: 1. Muslims 2. Halloween 3. Elon Musk

"Ha! That's simple. These bitches gay, Zexion."

we’re about to start seeing a lot of “here’s a cost effective meal your grandparents made during the great depression”

Very convenient to be able to shove the transphobia that got this girl killed under the carpet and blame phones instead and be able to deny any criticism like that Maybe Esther doesn’t think its insulting, but its rubbing salt in the wound to the whole trans community

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects a call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

Stark's gotta pay off his debt one way or another 🥴

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

it's like how data breaches used to be a huge deal that made the news and corporations would offer free credit monitoring or whatever. now they barely even fucking notify you and when they do it's like "oopsie! we let all your data get stolen again! sowwy hehe"

Favourite genre of bad history: "[ancient writer] predicted [modern writing that explicitly riffs off ancient writer]" i.e. "Plato predicted the Matrix"

We pay for the government. Every time they're evil or callous, that's your money going to fuck with people. I don't want them to be careful or slow or cowardly, I want them to sell tickets to the trials.

i didn't know they made them like that...

incredibly funny that Joyce Carol Oates owned Musk so hard he's started trying to post like a regular person with normal interests

oh my god

Also, if you all unconditionally support Democrats, fascism will always rise. They’re not here to stop fascism, they’re here to stop you.

By the way, this has been the Democrats party for decades. They’ve skated by for years on this “at least we’re not republicans” bullshit, meanwhile enabling them at every turn. This is just the time during which you can ill afford their feckless ways.

[US politics] You know, I never actually, sincerely believed I'd have health care again, but it's extra shitty to have them snatch it away from me and spit in my face while they do it. "You just don't understand politics." I think I do, actually, and I think you're about to learn.

It’s humbling that @dateeverything.bsky.social’s Barry Styles has regularly been called the best portrayal of neurodivergence in any piece of media by players discussing him. He’s made players cry, and made them feel understood or helped them understand. I’ll forever be proud of that.

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

First primary challenger to call Chuck Schumer a feckless cunt would demolish him in a landslide

Apparently there was a plan for Democrats to fold last week just after a blue wave took place. It's not enough for Chuck Schumer to leave office in disgrace, I need to see him get fired in to the sun from cannon filled with dog shit.

this is what 'vote blue no matter who' gets you. stop falling for it. it's a trap. sen. john fetterman ( of course ) sen. dick durbin sen. jacky rosen sen. catherine cortez masto sen. maggie hassan sen. tim kaine sen. jeanne shaheen throw eggs, if you can afford them, at chuck schumer

Chuck Schumer is a complete sentence

schumer: don't worry, I've got us right where they want us

Centrists will always vote for fascism if the alternative means any personal inconvenience.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Unfortunately Americans won’t remember this “Republican intransigence” because a) the news cycle is like 18 minutes b) they’ll be too busy trying to survive, and c) the majority of Americans probably don’t know what intransigence means.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

Chuck Schumer is caving in on ACA extensions the right way. by Ezra Klein

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

-Chuck Schumer refuses to endorse the Democrat Mamdani. -Mamdani and the Democrats have a huge Election Day Tuesday. -Today, Schumer reacts to this by readying a surrender to the repulsive Republicans. So tell me: What's the difference between Chuck Schumer and a repulsive Republican?

Dealer: alright everyone ante up Chuck Schumer: I fold Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏
