Sure Trump is monstrous, but the most revealing thing about his presidency is that you can visibly have your brains leaking out of your ears, but as long as you’re for cutting billionaires’ taxes & gutting consumer protections, our oligarch-owned media will pretend you’re King

What a performance. The boys were brilliant. COME ON YOU SPURS.

Genuinely just bonkers to watch the USA do this to one of the most successful and innovative hubs of scientific research the world has ever seen. All those years of Free Speech On Campus debates and it turns out they actually wanted less cancer research. Absurd.

Impossible to overestimate the damage this guy caused. His book was based on a laughably false premise and the movement he inspired led immigration crackdowns and forcible sterilization campaigns. Glad the population got one Ehrlich smaller today.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

We could have minded our own business and had universal health care and real safety nets, but no.

The extent to which every single one of these guys has absolutely no idea what the fuck they're talking about is frankly stunning. You should be embarrassed to go out in public and spout shit like this. It should scar your soul and make you weep in shame, but that requires introspection, so...shit.

Strike has begun, 3,800 meat packing workers in Colorado have walked off the job

"fallacy" is a weird word to use. the actual conclusion is that yeah, raising cattle feed in the desert is fuckin stupid and wasteful as shit, it's just our hyper anachronistic legal system prevents obviously correct decisions www.landdesk.org/p/the-alfalf...

I'm not just against AI to be some contrarian Luddite. It's because the guys pushing this shit are always, always, ALWAYS weird technofascists.

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

The Laffer Curve is not real, it is not in the room with us, and to the extent it was ever real, it had to do with statutory tax rates far far above normal collections rates, which has not been the case in a long time and is in fact becoming the opposite case due to inflation and interest effects

"Not since Adolf Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker beneath the garden of the German Reich Chancellery on April 30, 1945, have the lives of so many people around the world been so buffeted by the psychosis of a single man."

The U.S. made this class of stunningly stupid, pudding-soft MAGA parasites who have managed to move through life without ever encountering genuinely meaningful pushback. This led them to starting this wildly dangerous war in Iran - and looks like their reality distortion field is no longer working.

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

theyre just all so fucking stupid and we were told we had to be respectful and treat their stupid fucking opinions seriously even though we knew its all bull shit and now here we are

Disgraceful.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

If you are younger than 83, you have never seen the US drop a single bomb as a formally declared act of war according to its constitution.

sorry, the contention is that *stanford* is not sufficiently aligned with the american military-industrial complex? are... are there multiple stanfords?

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

Bouie’s core weakness as a public figure is that he reads books with some regularity and both understands and retains the things that he reads, this infuriates many

Interested in making the Wasatch Front more affordable and livable? Apply to be a member of the Board of Directors with WALC. I’m a Board member and would be happy to answer any questions

Epstein “identified &aligned himself w/the intellectual machinery now justifying our current dystopia, inc the academic rationalizations & motivated reasoning that hover b/h the most terrible excesses of the Trump admin: glorified phrenology, violent misogyny, genetic determinism, & elite impunity.”

What about when he lied about the woman his administration murdered? That was a pretty not great moment IMO.

I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.

Perhaps that's a point in Grok's favor. Other LLMs are trained to sound like experts, causing non-experts to mistakenly trust them, but Grok has been trained to sound like an overconfident ignoramus who watches Fox News all day, thereby warning users that it can't be trusted. 🙃

Union density, the most important measure of worker power in America, was stagnant for another year. We can start turning this around whenever the labor movement is ready to put on its ass-kicking shoes. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/labor-move...

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy

I’m sorry, but if we hold everyone in the Epstein files accountable for their involvement and punish each one for their crimes to the fullest extent, we will begin to collapse a long-standing system that has only given power to elitist excrement and I don’t see a motherfucking problem with this

Really weak snow structure out there in the Wasatch, just like the Sierra. Please exercise caution in the backcountry the next few days/weeks.

⛷️This week is one of the busiest of the season in mountain resorts. This means longer, slower lift lines…with a simple change we can make them move much much faster. 🎗️ Take the pledge and adopt Lore 34: Share The Chair. 🔗 freeride-republic.com/lore/share-t... #Skiing #Snowboarding #FreeRide

Utahns: because the GOP waited until super late to drop signature packets, there’s a chance many of those signatures are from people who were deceived into signing. You have 45 days since the packets were deposited - til March 30 - to get your name removed if you were tricked.

A much better question for 2025 is what exactly is in it for me, and the answer is, you will be poorer. That's it. That's the offer. That's what he's been trying to do in ways large and small since he came into office. Make you poor and his buddies rich. That's all. That's the whole game plan.

Some friends and I wrote a letter with four key requests to the Utah legislature regarding SB 242. We are all parents with young children, so this is personal. If you live in SLC or nearby and want to make our streets safer, please consider co-signing it. We'll email it to the legislature by Friday

“‘This is probably the most extensive fraud that we’ve seen,’ [county clerk] Davidson told a local Fox News outlet. ‘They’re not just fraudulent signatures. [It’s] making up names and addresses. It’s like a non-existent person.’”

If anyone involved on the organising side of any MLS fans‘ group follows & wants to talk to a Scottish journalist colleague writing a piece ahead of the World Cup, could you drop me a reply?

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

When Jeff Bezos bought WaPo, he immediately took control of the opinions section. Now, he's laying off hundreds of journalists, including those covering Amazon. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of billionaires with vested political agendas taking over our media.

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

Absolute mashed potatoes for brains. I cannot believe he is the president.

"In any other foreign country, if a US reporter was writing about these raids..., we wouldn’t hesitate to call ICE or CBP as a “paramilitary force loyal to the regime” or “masked right-wing militia” www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Starting to realize that everyone was in on this and Epstein having all these people by the balls (Dems and Dem donors, etc too) changed the course of history and is responsible for every life lost under this administration, the ones cut off from USAID and the terror here at home. Unbelievable
