Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Wait, Tyler Cowen has been writing about how to find virgins since 2009 while he was a professor at George Mason University

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I’ve just received permission to make a PR against a repo I’ve been dreaming of making for EIGHT YEARS. I couldn’t be happier. And it’s all thanks to @niccrane.bsky.social More details at Shiny in Production 😄

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it. Yes, they might. And he should wear it as a badge of honour. Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet. Where's the hazard in that?

So unifying

Always the same tropes: "The West has fallen," "owning lots of books makes you immediately smarter," spurious correlations treated as evidence, and discomfort with the world of one's youth changing. If this is your magnum opus, James, it's not exactly original.

Many such cases

(I think a lot of the BBC’s written output can likely be explained by them interpreting “need to write for a reading age of seven” as ”need to write for a moron with an adult reading age”.)

He barely won the popular vote, and he would lose if he ran today. The counties he won are much smaller in average population, so this stat is meaningless. And he gets terrible press because he’s a terrible leader.

Listen. I don’t talk about my surgery often. But there’s a reason I did it. They got in the way. It felt like there was something between the real me and the world. Lots of people think this. I’m not weird. I’m not alone.

Oh goodie. I'm pleased about this as our problem with screens in general is we don't use them enough. This should sort that. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Things have gotten out of hand and it’s now going both ways. People are being doxxed and fired from their jobs, and in response, some are retaliating by taking screenshots of those who doxxed them to return the favor.

If you haven’t left Twitter yet it’s like it being 2025 and still attending queer nights at swingers clubs that price entry based on genitals.

Glad the vice president of the United States, whose salary my taxes fund, is using his position to *checks notes* attack me on the Charlie Kirk show.

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

I want a sci-fi to be brave enough to reveal “We were wrong. It’s not a hive mind. They’re just shitposting”

you could write an entire book about this post and I will for the right price

Brian Kilmeade wants to murder unhoused Veterans then?

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Yes, quite.

All I want in my life is to wax lyrical about kebab menus and how much I hate modal driven interfaces. Unfortunately, 🍖

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

WIRED spoke to Lee Pace on the eve of the season finale of “Foundation” about clone consciousness, robot gods, and what’s next for the newly renewed show. www.wired.com/story/lee-pa...

Release the Epstein files!!!!

I want you all to just watch how quickly mainstream media moves on from this story now.

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board: It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible https://theonion.com/it-is-journalism-s-sacred-duty-to-endanger-the-lives-of-1850126997/

Foundation Season 3 has come to such an incredible, Shakespearian conclusion. Yes, there’s slight plot sloppiness in getting folks where they needed to be. But that’s what you need if you insist on not having a double final episode. I can’t recommend this show enough.

This is also the exact vibe of Charlie Kirk obituaries. Nary a mention of how he said he’d hypothetically force his daughter to deliver her rapist’s baby at age 10

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨

Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.

My neighbor in Orlando mentioned this EXACT concern to me last night!

Even the devout, church-going Congregationalist John Adams, who had signed the Declaration of Independence, inked his presidential signature on the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli affirming to Americans and the world that “the United States is not, in any sense, a Christian nation.”

Context:

I adore AppleTV’s Foundation. I think it might be both the best adaptation and sci-fi tv show I’ve seen. To such an extent that I’ll suspend my disbelief that in a world where FTL travel is clearly so difficult a super weapon can be shot at instantaneous speeds over [REDACTED] light year distances

Huh. Surprisingly stronger chin than Andrew Tate.

If I was an engineer at Coinbase and heard this mandate, I’d just start to review AI code less rigorously and let it rip. The stated goal is to increase AI generation numbers, and nothing about quality, maintainability, correctness, lack of duplication - right? Give devs a goal and they meet it

For twenty minutes I became laser focused on starting a conspiracy that Stone Henge was actually just a glacial side effect. I should avoid sandwich shop queues. Or get medicated.

surely we can come up with something better for 7 billion people than being lorded over by a bunch of plundering elderly murder and torture enthusiasts who whisper to each other about printing spare organs so they can immiserate others in perpetuity

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

Good morning to you 🌞 from the Southern Coast on the
