AI is the most important new issue on the agenda and it’s not great that the leading approaches are: 1. Do whatever big tech wants 2. Make stuff up about water use I think we can do better!

Stop the count!

Who is bidding up silver to $60/ounce??

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military. They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Rand Paul could push harder on this Will he?

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

“Is it too much to ask that immigrants love America and its system of government?” asks the article Apparently it was too much for the Republican Party which is hellbent on destroying our democracy and replacing it with a kleptocratic cult of personality centered around a reality tv show host!

I know the racism doesn't care and it's not the main point, but Omar has lived in the United States since she was 13, thirty years ago. She became a citizen when she was 17, twenty five years ago. She's an American by law but also just substantively, she's spent her entire adult life as an American.

Every day he wakes up and chooses another community to spew racist bile upon

At least the trucks are getting so high off the ground now they might miss the toddlers entirely Anyone under three feet tall can safely pass under these monsters

damn

I think I’ve discovered an infinite money glitch. Every time Trump promises to do something that will cost money and help people, you can safely bet that he will NOT do the thing because he doesn’t give a fuck about helping people.

glad you’ve identified the really important issues at stake

the batshit American government is forcing children’s book publishers to put out the absolute wildest statements

Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

A district court previously found Habba was unlawfully appointed U.S. Attorney for New Jersey.

That’s how she ended up on Gilligan’s Island

At the same time, it's important to safeguard our elections because the repugs know they won't win if they don't cheat. BTW, DemocracyDocket.com is having a sale on annual subscriptions. It helps Marc Elias's law firm. You know, the law firm which just won the case against Texas gerrymandering.

Just a quiet, sad little PSA. If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’ They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids. It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.

do you ever think we angered god or something

20–29-year-olds as % of SF population • 2013: ~16% • 2023: ~13% That’s why the city’s nightlife is still struggling to recover post-Covid There just aren’t as many young people as there were before They can’t afford the rents

bluesky is filled with a lot of millennials and gen xers who basically want to run back 2010's social media because it benefited them personally to some degree and i'm sorry friends but some of you are some of the least capable people of being self-reflective about the problems of that era

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020. Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

Data centers do not pollute a lot. People are just saying things now.

Lmao Huntington believed the world would be decided along civilizational lines that looked like this Do I need to explain how dumb this is?

Iraq was a mistake. Afghanistan was not. Like if a terrorist group that was sheltered by the Houthis did a 9/11 style attack we'd absolutely go in the same way today in Yemen. Someone who puts Afghanistan up there on a list of failures is just going to be in head scratch territory for me.

the comments to this Fox News article are so fucking funny, man literally conservative boomers being like "yeah, fuck Gen Z" www.foxnews.com/media/nikki-...

These people are just as delusional as the MAGA Cultists who attacked the Capitol on January 6

This kind of free-floating cynicism & lack of trust is deeply, deeply corrosive.

“The only people who get angry when hearing service members being told to ignore illegal orders are people who intend to issue illegal orders.”

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

schmitt’s derisive mention of “color revolution” is a good clue as to the nature of his information environment

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

The new integrated payments on Christchurch Metro lets you use a credit card, but you can only buy one ticket. Driver was having to give free rides to family members because there was no way to pay for them. Surprised nobody anticipated the rare scenario of buying two bus tickets.

I’m amazed y’all kept wanting to watch this show I totally lost interest when it took multiple years for the next season to come out

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - US appeals court rules former Trump lawyer Alina Habba disqualified as New Jersey prosecutor. @apnews.com

BREAKING: We won! 3rd Circuit affirms illegality of Habba appointment We @democracydefendersfund.org are honored to work on this case with the wonderful folks at Lowell & Associates, Gerald Krovatin & many others 👇

DOGE did what Republicans have wanted to do for years, conduct an ideological purge of government They always had the ability to do this but they never had the courage to do it directly That’s why they outsourced the task to Elon Musk He could take the blame and be booted out once it was done

RIP ATLANTIC CITY The idea of building a destination casino resort only works if your destination offer something other than casinos. Las Vegas has managed to diversify. Atlantic City has not. The opening of casinos in New York City will be the death of what’s left of that place

incredible to see the U.S. right echoing the Chinese Communist Party.

Wild how people like this, just like russians, still can’t comprehend that the Revolution of Dignity wasn’t staged. It was Ukrainians choosing freedom over fear. Imperialists and small minds always assume someone else must be pulling the strings, because they’ve never seen a nation with a spine.

I tried to teach ChatGPT how to play poker and it was a surreal experience. The system messing up the chip counts at the end of each hand. It also kept asserting you could make a straight out of 6789Jack for some reason. 🧐 I don’t think AI will be wiping out all jobs any time soon.

It is important to stand up to election conspiracy theorists because nothing destroys a democracy quite as quickly as the belief that elections are fake and pointless.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

The world is eventually going to hold Trump and his regime accountable for war crimes. So, we have that to hold onto.

I’m warming up to the Mark Kelly 2028 campaign We need an effective communicator who can win in swing states and make the case against MAGA extremism

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not
