"Hinckley found that those living in counties with high mortality rates were more likely to express attitudes in line with authoritarianism and right-wing populism. He studied poll responses to statements correlated with authoritarianism..." I have thoughts...

They don't technically have InfoWars, but nobody has standing to sue them.

The thing about Mitch is, he made Trump this powerful. Every 5/4 court decision that favors Trump is because of him. The gates of hell are waiting.

My MIL got some money from Reels and then it just faded out while she was putting in more and more time making them content. It's absolutely a taste to get them hooked.

Going to a funeral-themed Fourth of July party. What dish would you bring to a funeral for your childhood idea of America?

This story completely tricked me and I live here. I am still not clear on the motivation for this but goddamn I guess I can’t trust anything ever again. Thanks AI!

I'm really passionate about games, I've loved them my whole life. So I'm spreading this petition around for people to send Sony a real message of what we gamers want, the right to own our games. c.org/8BRm6NdhWH

not wanting to call them the SSPX because it offers them a veneer of legitimacy but being unable to spell the name of their cult founder. lefabrvites. lefarbvites. lefavbrites.

HYDRATION ADVICE from an archaeologist who works in intense heat: 1) Water isn't enough. You need electrolytes. Use liquid IV/ gatorade, premake a jug. 2) Set up phone reminders every 2-3 hours to drink 8oz, more if outside 3) Wake up and DRINK and have a glass before bed. You'll sleep better

Using genAI alienates you from everyone else. It doesn't democratize art, it atomizes it. No genAI user is gonna get an outpouring of sincere support from others because even they themselves don't give a fuck about what they're making.

An account created in November of 2024 whose only replies to anyone in the last 30 days are ALL aggressive.

I remember about a year ago, maybe 2, someone did a thing where they prompted several chatbots dozens of times with different variations of "tell me a story about a knight who falls in love" And damn near every single regurgitated output was identical. It was all homogeneous slop.

I haven't been part of the Catholic church for almost 20 years but reading up on why some groups have beef with Vatican II, and if I had only read Reddit I would think it was because they hate acoustic guitars.

I'M GOING TO BED NOW FUCK YEAH LET'S GO SEE YOU TOMORROW

These motherfuckers starting the fireworks at 9:45 on a Wednesday night...

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Cis allies, now is the time to be REALLY FUCKING LOUD about supporting trans rights. I mean, the best time to be loud about it was like 10 years ago, but the second best time is starting now right now…

JD Vance gave a speech where he said he hates poor foreigners this week. Excommunication when?

this is incredible lmao jfc www.instagram.com/reel/DaQCjQ5...

Just got my copy of /The Power of Making Thinking Visible/ or as I like to call it Making Thinking Visible 2. Right off from the introduction I like "sometimes products obscure students' thinking." I think the current AI crisis in education is the result of this long-running problem.

I guess Sony isn't interested in selling Christmas presents.

Watched a great chat with @adamconover.net, @edzitron.com, and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social this week on YouTube. Great chemistry, accent work, analysis. Interesting discussion of how trying to label everything as socialism has finally backfired on Republicans. Guess we like socialism!

One of the finest things about this internet of ours is that if there's an ad you want to watch on purpose you will have to watch other ads before and during that ad.

I wasn't paying attention at the Asian grocery store when I grabbed something off the shelf and now I'm pickling sunchokes.

it's possible that that doesn't matter a ton - maybe a lot of these assholes are rich! - but it matters for things like, none of these bishops ever being allowed to become a cardinal and vote for pope, hold a Vatican office, oversee a real diocese, or wield influence within the hierarchy

Just got a weird AI ad where the spokesperson looked like a 9ft tall GI Joe. Very uncanny and weird.

Every year I set the initial goal at $50,000 in honor of our first year where that was our initial goal. We just blew past it just about one hour in. 💓 We can't wait to see how far we can go this year!!!

New: there is a major vulnerability with Apple’s Hide My Email feature that lets attackers discover peoples’ real emails. Verified it works on my own email. We’re not disclosing how it works because Apple has not fixed it. But Apple has known for more than a year www.404media.co/apple-hide-m...

Already crossed $40k of their $50k goal!

How many of you got PURPLE first today on four by three? 🙋🏻

Good morning Sara Bareilles fans! youtu.be/DTZyNQCy5nk

So many fucking DNC fundraising texts today. The party that's more concerned about Zohran than trans women's rights can fuck RIGHT OFF.

We definitely need a new term for this kind of person, and I propose “prolapsed Catholic.”

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!

A: Here is an article about an app that detects if an author used AI People: It was built using AI A: She had a good reason to use AI to build the app *slams head into desk until my brain leaks out*

This is why the effort to paint what we were seeing from Border Patrol and ICE as the result of bad training and/or militia infiltration was and remains counterproductive. blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/30/w...

If you are trans and are raising money for your own needs, post the link below and I will share. If you are cis, choose one to donate to and share this thread.

I know we feel the need from left to center left to take the wins where we get them but a 5-4 decision on the literal plain text of the Constitution is absurd and this means we have to cripple the court, permanently, period, end of story.

Our auction is starting again tomorrow, and here’s your reminder for six particular reasons that our FUCK SCOTUS sticker is back, for anyone who needs that, which is a lot of us.

If the Democrats don't pull a Mitch and tell Trump he can't have a SCOTUS confirmation hearing until after the midterm winners are confirmed, they're as useless as we think.

There you gave it.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Fourteenth Amendment protects birthright citizenship, blocking Donald Trump's executive order to end it. Roberts has the opinion for the court, which is 5-4 on the constitutional question and 6-3 on whether federal law protects birthright citizenship.

Goddamn it. Kavanaugh also has the campaign finance case. 6-3, spending limits on dark money violate the First Amendment. Peter Theil's boy comes through for him, throwing WIDE the gates on the billionaire class buying elections.

So if you're a candidate in the US and you want to accept foreign dark money you now only have to: 1. Have someone on your campaign set up a Super PAC 2. Have them set up a Dark Money group to take the foreign money. 3. "Donate" the money to your PAC 4. Use the PAC as another arm of your campaign.
