Danish guy gets it

The Trump's still made bank on all the trades. It was the little people who lost money.

when he identifies concrete flaws in their reasoning, the systems often respond with confident reassurances rather than correction. He described responses such as “Oh, it’s totally fine,” even when the mathematics is wrong. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/ne...

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

[2015] “the police on the scene fired 10,000 rounds of ammunition at the MOVE compound over the next 90 minutes. They eventually had to ask the police academy to send more bullets.”

2015, Philly Cops bomb MOVE

I graduated high school in the US in 2001 and didn't hear about the MOVE bombing until well after I was out of the military, but before I started my undergrad. So, also: If you're American and you're like wait, the US bombed its own citizens in a major city? Yes.

We all already know ICE never left Chicago, but just to emphasize: several vehicles have been spotted out and about this morning. Unconfirmed (for now) reports of several abductions.

Five years ago.

They explained that because there is exponential growth in AI used for cyberattacks, we had no choice but to exponentially deploy AI agents to detect and combat cyberattacks. We will literally burn the planet watching this shit fight itself, while both sides pay the same guy

Guys, we did it. We invented the Commodore 64

Hawley ran away from J6ers again.

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

An emergency decree has sought to stamp out any public celebration of Maduro’s ouster and ordered police to seek and detain “everyone involved in the promotion or support for the armed attack by the United States”.

🔺NEW: Keir Starmer and President Macron announced the plans in the event of a peace deal at a meeting of the ‘coalition of the willing’

Walz: "What Trump tweeted the other night put the Hortman children at risk. They have to look at security. Put my family at risk again. What he's doing the Somali community is unconscionable ... for God's sake, the kids of a murdered Speaker. And [Rs] can't speak up and say 'this is wrong. stop it'"

i love how like the Reason crowd find this depressing despite the fact that even the Manhattan Institute polls finding that most young Republicans hold genuinely reprehensible beliefs

BREAKING: Abortion will remain legal in Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down laws, including the first U.S. ban on pill abortions.

“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.” Monstrously cruel.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

The most unsubtle, heavy-handed claims made by pomo academic types have turned out to all be true. Gender is a relation of domination that requires constant, affirming witness. Capitalism will require extractive colonial relations. There’s no subtlety. Every day is like a 101 seminar at Oberlin.

The Gen z snow in london today is pretty pathetic. Absolutely not putting in the effort. Just drifting down. No effort to stick or settle. Not like the snow of my generation. I blame woke.

I don't think I can remember a technology in my lifetime that's prompted governments to basically suspend existing law -- copyright, obscenity, incitement -- like genAI/LLMs. they seem prepared to gamble everything on it. feels quite final.

That's what I've been saying! The bread's thru the roof & the circuses are shitty. This is no way to run an empire.

The thing about having pedophile rapists run the country is they don’t know what consent looks like much less how to manufacture it

We don't know almost anything about the pre-Columbian exchange natives of the Americas because most of them died of disease, the natives settlers found later were basically Mad Max-ing it through a post apocalypse setting.

3. The Enlightenment owed a huge amount to the discovery by French Jesuit priests that the Wendat (Huron) and other Great Lakes' tribes had a completely different form of essentially egalitarian social organisation. 4. Richard II was essentially a forerunner of Donald Trump - dark triad.

Religious fundamentalism happened AFTER the scientific revolution.

In that batshit insane interview? Stephen Miller repeatedly (after 4:15) calls Venezuela an island. I don't rule out that Miller doesn't know the difference between Venezuela and Greenland. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/05/p...

Yep, I've got a History degree and the lessons from it are far less predictive of what will happen in contemporary society than Gender Studies and Critical Race Theory, which are like that sports almanac in Back to the Future II.

Believing that Venezuela is an island is the same kind of mindset that leads you to believe you can impose big tariffs on coffee and bananas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NiB...

“This is why I wrote that open letter encouraging people to write down who they were before autocratic consolidation took hold. I wanted Americans to have a way to remember what we thought of as normal and acceptable and track how far we have deviated.” - @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

Hyundai Motor's vice chair said the company understands concerns about job losses, but people will be needed to maintain and train the robots, and additional personnel will be required.

Are we going to look to Europe for a healthcare model?

Every ex-military MAGA dude whining about vaccines got like a zillion shots for diseases he never heard of when he was deployed somewhere

So they like the way Europe does things, do they?
