"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

Nazi get shot on stage: "put up statues in every public space." Kids get shot at school: "things can happen."

Trump Pretends To Block State AI Laws; Media Pretends That’s Legal The mainstream media just failed a basic civics test so badly that you'd think their brains have been pickled by the kinds of folks who spend all their time on X (oh, wait…). Headlines across major outlets are breathlessly…

NASA created a "sonification" of the sound emerging from a black hole. It's... god-like...

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

BREAKING: At 7am ET, in response to the emergency overnight filing, Judge Xinis issued a TRO barring the Trump administration from re-detaining Abrego Garcia. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71191...

@rivianofficial.bsky.social I'm really considering an R3X, but $15/mo for "built-in" voice-operated texts is a really bad experience when every CarPlay option is actually built-in and costs nothing beyond the purchase price.

What the actual fuck. www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

I know there are much larger issues in the world, but... and's. And's. AND'S. It's stupid every time.

I will believe AI is a thing when Google maps realizes that I don’t wanna take a total freak show route to where I’m going to save a minute and a half on a one hours drive. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

All I want from a new iOS is for it to stop correcting "and" to "and's" - a word that doesn't exist and which I've never used in any form of communication.

are we still on about em dashes and ai. imo human writers should just use the em dashes even harder. we should be out here pummeling out those em dashes like we're emily dickinson

Student have walked out at Burnsville schools in protest against gestapo activity around the Minneapolis metro.

what if we were to replace the quirky individuality of lived experience with a homogenized and badly automated blandness shaped largely by the country's weirdest sociopaths and shittiest companies wouldn't that be nice

By my math, we could just about double that with FanSpark.pro

Found the line between crippling anxiety and incandescent rage, and brother I am using that line as a fucking jump rope today.

these are so clearly only controlled by humans it’s astounding how much everyone gives elon musk for lying to everyone all the time about everything

I am deeply worried for the future. NVIDIA's revenue is a chain of pain - selling GPUs bought with debt that are rented to unprofitable LLM companies subsidized by VC who sell access to unprofitable AI companies subsidized by VC. The end will be gruesome. www.wheresyoured.at/nvidia-isnt-...

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

The “both sides” narrative isn’t new. I was taught in grade school that the true tragedy of the civil war was it pitted “brother against brother, father against son.” Downplayed was the natural conclusion that one brother or father was willing to kill their family to own other humans as property.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

I love this line

I can’t get over how Barbie succeeded because it offered tangible ways for women and girls to celebrate each other (and dress up and go to the movies together) but studios thought it worked because it’s about toys so now they’re making like Bananagrams the movie

“They’re economically disconnected and are distracted by culture war issues” No. They justify their economic suffering through the lens of cultural hierarchy. We’ve been doing this since poor white Southerners marched into the maw of war for wealthy slaveholders.

You have your advent calendars; I have mine.

hey so that sounds like total shit. really fucking awful. bleak. soul and society destroying. world eating levels of bad.

This is like how every time there was a terrorist attack during the Obama administration, Republicans would insist there had been no terror attacks during the Bush administration

“Narcoterrorists” is the new “antifa” is the new “jihadists” is the new …

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

“When I built my corporate empire, and by that I mean when my father retired and left me his venture capital firm, I promised him that one day I would use a glorified autocomplete program that requires the same clean water supply as Winnipeg to annihilate the job market”

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Demand would likely be higher if the product wasn't, for most purposes, garbage.

"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

Kelly Pannek makes it 1-0 Frost in the first!! 🥳

If I open an article and the splash banner is AI slop, I close the tab. If you don't have the bare minimum of discernment to not do that, what else do you consider "good enough" to publish?

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

JD Vance loves nothing more than telling insane lies about this nation’s history

lol @ this headline

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

That’s a real sentence

Hey Spirit fans, I have a ticket in the Spirit supporters section but don’t know the fans in from DC. Say hi! #thatsthespirit

Are we really supposed to be able to concentrate on anything at this point. Like, are you shitting me, my liege
