All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

ICE carried out an Iraq 2006 style convoy raid using half a police department, 2 multi-million dollar armored vehicles, and a drone to question a suburban college kid about his anti-genocide and anti-ethnic cleansing posts online. Millions in tax payer dollars to harass a kid.

The results from Germany's big 3-year UBI experiment are out! 122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with incomes between €1100/mo to €2600/mo They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time, and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.

Elon Musk trying to prove his worth to online teens gets destroyed by commenters as he live streamed Path of Exile 2 whispers. Commenters said “YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND WILL DIE ALONE” & “DIE” as he frantically tried to hide them, then lost his hardcore permadeath character due to Starlink lag.

NEW: The #TeslaTakedown protest is getting BIG in New York right now. The main showroom in Manhattan is surrounded on all sides. One of 500 anti-oligarchy & anti-Musk protests happening at Tesla sites globally. 👏 (🎥 TPUSA)

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The intersection of "taking AGI hype seriously" and "discussing a Civil War" is *terrifying*. The military has long used "the AI told me they were a terrorist" line, and cops picked it up, but a DOGEfied FBI will do that at scale, to US citizens, in a rush. Foucault's Boomerang on ketamine, guys.

It went down bc it becomed viral. But how many hoops this *idea* went through without *nobody* noticed how deeply unethical this was? techcrunch.com/2025/02/25/y...
