Folks, I’m starting to think these people aren’t particularly bright

But not Anthropic, because the check didn't clear

I would just like to say that I'm REALLY not enjoying seeing confirmed Cabinet officials getting replaced with unconfirmable cultist dead-ender acting officials. Acting roles expire with a new Congress. Which means they're probably here to salt the earth between now and a Democratic Senate in 2027.

tfw you fire the secretary of the Navy, who had no military experience and was on Epstein flight manifests, in order to replace him with someone worse

New rule: no conservative commentator may appear as a talking head to complain about Virginia redistricting by referendum without their position being played back to them on Texas redistricting without a public vote last year

Not sure how Newsnight on CNN managed to find even less compelling Republican talking heads than Scott Jennings, but here we are

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted. Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more. /1

Obama unfroze $400 million in Iranian assets as part of his deal and Trump called him a beta cuck patsy bitch for years. But yeah, sure, unfreeze $20 billion, art of the deal etc. www.cnn.com/2026/04/17/p...

This man is 80% rizz by volume

Here's the article which includes the actual interview in question. Yes, he absolutely said this and yes, it's in context. wordinblack.com/2025/02/rfk-...

MAGA Catholics pleading at the Pearly Gates: but look at his RECORD OF RESULTS

Stefanik is Trump's personal chew toy. She's happy to be disgraced by him over and over again and just pops right up and cheers him on. Find some dignity, Elise. Somewhere.

Allbirds engaged in a pumps and dump scheme. You’re welcome.

Anthropic has basically adopted the pricing model that was hanging in every 1980s car mechanic's waiting room

The man who threw a molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's house was partially inspired by AI doomer propaganda promoted by the mainstream media and Altman himself. Both the media and AI labs must stop platforming this kind of dangerous rhetoric. www.wheresyoured.at/i-will-never-respect-a-website/

If there is not a pizza-related promotion in Fenway Park next April 14 in honor of the 20th anniversary of Here Comes the Pizza, I really don’t know what the Red Sox marketing team is doing.

Did you know: There's HD video of Here Comes The Pizza?

“It's a shame that the Pope has made the Catholic Church political” is one of the most amazing sentences ever uttered by a politician. Elite stuff. Arguably the most wrong a person could be, including rejecting basic arithmetic.

*record scratch* Yep, that's me. I bet you're wondering how I ended up in this situation

A reminder that as Americans we pay double per capita for healthcare than every developed nation on Earth, AND have the lowest life expectancy. We're getting robbed & bled literally to death by the exploitative for profit system we have. We demand universal healthcare as a human right. Period. 2/2

Mexico—a nation with 1/17th GDP of USA—is rolling out universal healthcare to its 130M citizens. Starting April 13, Mexicans 85+ will have access to universal healthcare. By Jan 2027, Mexico will expand universal healthcare to all people, with full coverage of drugs, lab tests, etc by 2030. 1/2

I would also accept "stay on in order to be expelled with the 3 other Congresscritters who need to go"

Black Sheep, "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" Engine, engine, number 9/on the New York transit line/ if my train goes off the track/pick it up, pick it up, PICK IT UP

Dude wasn’t even there long enough to try out “Islamic seating”

Episcopalianism is so American that it’s already had a schism over being too woke. The breakaway churches believed (among other things) that women shouldn’t be ordained, so they went back to calling themselves Anglicans, just in time for Anglicans to name the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. 😏

Anybody involved in Artemis II has permission to give any SpaceX or Blue Origin employee a noogie

Humans just got launched at 17000mph away from Earth, slingshotted the moon, then came back down at 25000mph and plopped in the water like it was nothing fuck yeah, A+++ human shit, please don't use any of this for evil kthx

Are these policies in the room with us now?

When someone explains a technical standard I am acknowledged in

I’ve watch a lot of marginalized and underrepresented people leave technology jobs the past couple years. I’ve seen many of them get laid off while on disability or parental leaves. It is happening so openly, so unapologetically, that in many cases I think it is hostile.

Cheers to Melania for Streisanding the fuck out of the Epstein files

Absolutely not. Every time someone tries this, I point out how it biases against Black speech. Every. Time. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Also from the launch of the Perspective API and its "toxicity" score. Police don't kill too many Black kids." Score: Not toxic.🤦🏿‍♂️ "Police kill too many Black kids. Score: 80.28% toxic.😮

Counterpoint: "If Democrats were in power they'd actually hold people accountable for committing atrocities" is actually a pretty good platform and something they should try for once

The best part of this is that a person who designs coverings like these is known as a "skinner"

Anything less than a 9-0 unambiguous affirmation of birthright citizenship as settled law that cannot be changed except by Amendment is properly understood as an assault by those Justices on the foundation of American values, law, and government. To even humor this shows the institution has failed.

Thinking about Trump in the audience here, not understanding more than half of these questions or why they're being asked. He's the dumbest official in that room, by a country mile.

Barrett just "yeah yeah yeah"ed Sauer like she was tired of hearing the lunch specials. We're done here.

Love how CNN is carrying these oral arguments live, but it's not important enough for them to skip commercial breaks

If this SCOTUS case isn't knocked down unanimously, we should probably pack it in as a nation. Possibly even if only Alito and Thomas side with Trump.

A 24 year old disabled man died when an airline mishandled him during boarding They pushed him down the ramp in a chair without safety straps He fell face first and the assistant fell on top of him He died of multiple blunt force injuries Lack of disability accommodations killed Hunter Adkins:

#NoKings PSA: The larger or more iconic the location of your rally, the more likely someone will be to post a deepfake hoping to do big numbers on Insta. Or worse. Just be careful what you share. The rep you save may be your own.

It's stunning how utterly pickled the brains of British women are in general with regards to trans people. They make most of their American counterparts—no paragon of virtue here, either—look positively enlightened.

Smart move by Anthropic to secure the bag before their life is all Congressional testimonies and equity market investigations and DoJ referrals www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It’s been fun the past few years, having people lie or be useful idiots about how Anti DEI is just about merit and not a backdoor whites only policy and then insist those of us who saw that clearly are shrill or paranoid

This fuckin guy

Wow, former Jerusalem Post EIC is impressed by the war in Iran. Quelle surprise.

If there is one thing every individual can do to stop Trump, it’s to get right with trans people. He knows he can sprinkle a little transphobia over everything and make it all a little more palatable. You can stop that one carefully-placed “hey, fuck that” at a time.

This shutdown will be wrapped up by the weekend.

I'm fully expecting Iran to strike somewhere in the next 24 hours, since it's basically the only way for them to state "officially" that Trump's making up these alleged negotiations.
