It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

I have been wondering how long the ICC was going to keep to its unspoken rule to never prosecute people from the wealthy part of the world. And then Trump goes and tells them, please, I'm so guilty, you have to stop looking for evidence or there will be consequences.

Iceland to boycott 2026 Eurovision in protest of go-ahead for Israel reut.rs/4oJ5woX

FUN FACT: Democrats have won or overperformed in 226 out of 254 key and special elections this year — nearly 90%.

If I had to leave Sweden, I'd rather go anywhere but the US. There are maybe 60 countries where they'd kill me on sight, but only one where they'd kill me and act smugly superior about why I deserve it. Make your country so shit no one wants to go there, then complain some have better choices.

Miami will have its first Democratic mayor in 30 years

I reported a coworker to HR for racist comments and now all my Trump-supporting coworkers are pointedly avoiding me and making sure I know it. Joke’s on them, this is exactly the outcome I desired. Stay away from me. Do not speak to, acknowledge, or perceive me now or ever. Be gone from my presence

I have to try this "argument" if I'm ever on trial and I'm guilty as hell. "You can't look at the record of my activities because it would be bad for my defense."

Donald Trump is the US's Chernobyl disaster - the cleanup will take centuries, and by the time the country takes notice the illusion of having any power on the world stage is already gone.

Let Eurovision be a pro-genocide event if they need it. Everyone who's into human rights can do our own thing.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

Look at this. Just look at this. Hateful voices from the Stone Age, screaming desperately against science and modern understanding of a perfectly natural human variation, like petulant, spoilt brats throwing a nasty tantrum after being told the kids they dislike are still allowed in the playground.

Video of this train in Belgium spray painted with a message calling Israel a ‘terrorist state’ has gone viral online. Earlier this year, the Belgian government imposed sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel, before the Gaza ceasefire which Israel has violated nearly 500 times.

This dude has GOT to go. Let’s make it happen:

The saying goes, you can con a honest person, but it takes more work. And Trump has always been a minimum effort manipulator. He'll take whoever falls for his lies, take whatever they're willing to give and move on to the next grift cause people are nothing but resources for him to use.

This one officially wins as our favorite comment on the photo.

Thank you again to everyone out there! Another year down, another million raised, and so many people who will be helped because of what you've done with us this year and every other! We couldn't do this without you, and through all the laughs and the tears, we wouldn't want it any other way...

throw all the bums outta office

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

We hit our 100th $5 donation last night so I’ll be making the $500 matching donation as promised in the next day or two. If anyone else would like to join me in my matching donation I wouldn’t say no 😛 desertbus.org And thanks to everyone who’s donated so far! We’re already over $5000!!! 🥳

New awareness campaign

Masks are for protecting "other people" from "your" infections, you lazy, selfish, dumbass.

A reminder for the nationalists out there

This Palestinian man shed tears of joy upon finding his home in northern Gaza still standing. Thousands of Palestinians are returning mostly to rubble in the north, following the pullback of Israeli forces under the ceasefire terms.

"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?" If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.

Nah, they're not going to make peace before they've killed or chased away every single Palestinian from Palestine. A hundred years later they'll apologize by naming an attack helicopter after them and that will be that. Unless they want some more land.

US commentator Van Jones has apologised for making a joke about Palestinian babies killed by Israeli attacks, but he is not alone when it comes to dehumanising comments about Gaza aje.io/33pm5k

Common mistake, murder is a crime in most cases but it's fine as long as you're wearing the right flag

I wish the U.S. was a small country without airport that we could mute forever, instead of a nuclear power with 2000 military bases around the world that we can absolutely not afford to ignore because the dumber they get the more harm they will cause

"I for one think Disney should shut up about politics and stick to buying the entire world's entertainment industry"

If they had a vote today, would the backwards, poorly educated, plagued by deadly violence, barely industrialized aside from banking and movies, no healthcare except for rich people, apartheid dictator state USA ever get a seat in the United Nations?

"Inflation-weary shoppers." I worry there's a significant portion of liberal middle class people who actually don't comprehend the idea that you can not have enough money to buy food; who think "not having money" means needing to liquidate investments or taking loans at suboptimal rates.

The head of an independent United Nations commission that concludes Israel has committed genocide in Gaza argues that countries supplying weapons to Israel, like the United States, are also complicit.

"To the right [and Bluesky admin], Kirk’s death is an opportunity to discipline the country, to let people know that some people matter more than others. It’s about power, which is why they want people to be punished and fired for not at least pretending to be sad over Kirk’s death"

Why not www.tumblr.com/tehamelie/72...

The way this should play out is people who have never heard of him ask what he's known for. And then they get to read/see a bunch of actual quotes from him. And then they think "and this is who the President has us lowering our flags for?" And perhaps these people realize some hard truths.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Sure he called for stoning gay people and also killing foreigners who might think about stoning gay people, but he did it the "right way"

Paul Saunders rt if you agree

A new take on US imperialism: Go after healthy democracies that elect leaders you don't like and punish those you like.

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did
