This? This is actually insane. I don't think there's anyone left to convince that this is despotic, nationalist behavior and that we do not *want* a despotic, nationalist government. The fans of it are thrilled that it's happening. Their brains are rotten, they cannot be convinced.

Most of what I have to say about Very Special Biggest Big Boy of WAR* is the sort of thing that you don't want to leave a digital footprint of just in case. * don't you dare acknowledge it's not the Department of War, Defense is so lame and it makes him shit his pants in rage

It is artificial, but it is by no means nor measure "intelligence."

Not to get political on my political feed but

Wonder who owns those outlets.

Thought for a long time that #WorstAmericanPresident was a singular title but I'm thinking it's more a "How many different categories can you be Worst President in?" Like we've got Andrew Jackson in "Most Violent Crimes Against Humanity", it's kinda hard to top his genocide streak.

There's so much going on here (The extendo-arms, forehead-grenade throw, AI letter-salad, shapeshifting-and-wrong gun models...) that it feels almost entertaining just to play Spot The Wrong Things, but this vomit carpet probably drained two lakes and burned 8 tons of coal to produce.

They do, it's just that they're center-right and largely disinterested in sticking their ancient necks out. When they do, it barely makes the news because this is Trump's circus and he'll decide who gets to attend it.

Folks outside of Idaho, the Wilder raid is a big deal

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

I cannot recommend using UDM14-dot-com enough. It is a proxy that uses URL commands to skip the AI shit. The AI shit cannot be trusted. It could never be trusted. It is not valid information. Ignore it. Avoid it.

I make breakfast. I power up my PC to log on on to write video games. The president says he wants to unleash the military to kill U.S. citizens on American soil. I respond to a few emails. Gotta take inventory of what still needs signoff before script lock on Friday.

the "who will the public blame for the shutdown?" handwringing is asinine. the vast majority of voters have no idea how government shutdowns work, and by the time midterms roll around they won't remember anything that didn't impact them directly

Great to see the comedy tradition of "I hate my wife" and "Sexual violence against women is funny" continue uninterrupted.

There we are.

OH, so Charlie Kirk was the surrogate son for a bunch of elderly conservative weirdos whose adult children have gone no-contact for whatever reason. This explains everything

Me: Guys I have an idea Wayne: What Me: what if we killed someone Carl: What? Like who Me: I dunno maybe that king of the Jews guy he’s always talking shit Carl: I dunno man that seems kind of extreme Wayne: [Looking at the bowl] guys I think something may be wrong with this hummus

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

The NYT is being actively harmful? Again? It's more likely than you think!

Rush Limbaugh used to rattle off names of gay men who'd died from AIDS while playing upbeat music. Alex Jones called grieving parents "crisis actors." They cheered RBG passed away. They laughed when Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer. They went wild when Biden was diagnosed with cancer.

Y'all want to pretend like Charlie Kirk wasn't Charlie Kirk, that's fine. Delete posts, ban people, wave the flag at half-mast, call for unity, all of that. Show him more veneration you ever did for other victims, and do it loudly and blatantly, sure. By all means, break any last trust you had.

I may be American, but I’ll never be the Gestapo.

I see the Right, in a combination of stupidity and dishonesty and self-blindness, is leaning heavily into “this happened because the Marxist subhuman terrorist scum of Left keeps escalating the rhetoric!”

"When do we get to use the guns? To k*ll these people" asks Charlie Kirk supporter (2021) Universal warning

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

Despite the shooter still being at large and the motivations for Charlie Kirk's assassination remaining unknown, the right are already saying that it was the left or democrats who did it despite having no evidence. They don't care about political violence. They encourage it.

I thought people were exaggerating, but no, it really is the case that liberal politicians posting platitudes about the Nazi Youth youtuber never posted anything about Melissa Hortman

RIP Charlie Kirk, you would have loved politicizing the shooting of Charlie Kirk.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

democrats should be like 'we deplore this shooting and demand action on gun control right now' to make every republican go 'nah prayers are fine'

The President is going to give Charlie Kirk's eulogy and it's just going to be an hour talking about toilets and windmills and Rosie O'Donnell and that's exactly what he deserves.

Don't you all realize what this means? The right will begin a systematic and extralegal oppression of their political enemies and vulnerable populations. This is the first thing I saw on the news after waking up from a 25-year coma.

Anyone crying that #CharlieKirk was a fAtHeR and a HuMaN bEiNg, please remember that this man was openly disgusted by empathy and thought piles of dead children were a worthy price to pay for the right for someone to own the weapon he was shot with.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

these are the same brainstarved wormlings that will INSIST that the President has the right to sue people for "defamation" for being critical of his flea circus regime.

You hear a whistling overhead; Are you alive or are you dead? It's only Thursday... (What time is it?) You feel the shaking of the ground; A million candles burn around -- Is it your birthday? (What time is it?)

Figure I may as well spread the word on this as if there wasn't enough shit to worry about: They're trying to pass SOPA again under the guise of the BlockBEARD bill and some other bills.

a thread-barely-coherent octogenarian with an ego vastly disproportionate to any of his achievements would be hysterically funny if this freestanding anus didn't have control of our fucking future for however long it takes to unfuck whatever's left when the ghouls are done picking the bones

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Windsurf's co-founders really screwed over their people. They got $2.4bn - half of which went to investors - to go to Google, sold the IP and staff to Cognition, who are now laying them off or offering buyouts. Layoffs from an AI company are a pale horse unto themselves
