Every time someone jumps on socials and says there is no point to mass protest days and visible reaction in the streets, share this chart with them. The approval ratings are tanking not just because they're doing bad things but also because protestors won't let people forget it either.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

In case it's not clicking for the Zoomers: That's supposed to be Yoshi on the label. Yeah.

Personally I these white men just need to assimilate to the real Indigenous values of America, responsible stewardship of land & use of resources, cooperative community governance, hospitality, honor of spirit, instead of refusing to relinquish their barbaric European culture, we'd be better off.

if you see a robot in the wild like this you are allowed to ride it like you would ride a turtle if it wasn’t unethical to ride a turtle.

the time has come

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

so thomas king is also like, a pretendian? man what even is going on?!

You know they would love to make the big issues of their next candidates literally anything other than "prosecute every member of this administration, tax the living shit out of the billionaires who funded it, and start the 40 year process of fixing shit"

bsky.app/profile/pook... You know deep in your bones, that dem leadership would love to talk about such as increasing funding by 2 percent, or giving tax rebates to eligible homeowners, instead of the vast New Deal slash Manhattan Project that will be fixing anything that has already been destroyed

PLEASE, retail workers from a religious minority living under Christian hegemony year-round (factcheck: true) the public space stuff this time of year is a lot (though I'd 100% take public Christmas but w/national abortion access if playing forced choice, ofc) PLEASE DO THIS it is a kindness

Community college has always been the much more sensible option for higher education but also it turns out you're *way* less likely to have a professor who was buddies with Epstein if you go to one. Community college: odds are your professor is not in the Epstein files, unlike any of the Ivies

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

See, this is exactly why image and video Gen AI should be outlawed. There's no good use case. There's no value that those 2 AI processes bring.

Another bombshell new report just dropped exposing Canada’s complicity in Israel’s genocide on Gaza. The authors found hundreds of shipments from Canadian military manufacturers to the U.S. weapons factories that manufacture Israel’s warplanes, bombs and artillery shells. That’s not all:

A British lady is doing the same social experiment calling asking for help with baby formal and of course the churches are talking to her like she is stupid and being rude. Muslim churches offered to help and didn't care about her faith.

Einstein presented "Explanation of the Perihelion Motion of Mercury from the General Theory of Relativity" #OTD in 1915. He used his nearly-complete theory of general relativity to explain the 43 arc-second per century anomalous precession of Mercury. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭

guy who finally decides today he has enough information to conclude donald trump is a pedophile

Wait, I'm supposed to believe that the convicted child sex trafficker who was inexplicably moved to a minimum security prison after an interview with the president's personal lawyer and who the president's allies have been portraying as a victim has blackmail material on the president?

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

new york times headline: new emails reveal potential relationship between epstein and trump the email: Re: re: re: My Best Friend Donald Trump is a Pedophile, We were doing Pedophile Stuff together

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

four colds in five weeks. i’ve had FOUR COLDS in FIVE WEEKS! WHERE ARE TJEY ALL COMIN FROM????!!!

Howdy friends - I have a budding scientific illustrator looking for advice. For example, what classes should she take outside of biology? Any advice appreciated! Thanks!

I mean, this should be the absolute loudest wake-up call possible that any vote in December will be exactly the same. GOP keeps showing their hand over and over here.

mulders going to start a band

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

If only Chuck Schumer could be just 5% Mitch McConnell and not 100% Charlie Brown.

went to a ben caplan show. he has always been impressive and he has been refining his artistry in fun ways. what a delightful evening

Again, the conflict between the “Hitler wing” and the center of the GOP is like the fights between the Klan and the White Citizens Council. The councils mostly agreed on substance, they just wanted to distance themselves from the tactics of the Klan’s vulgar commoners.

this human… is feral. yes.

I am sorry, but it is simply not possible that people feel this way about Microsoft Teams. It is the worst piece of software I have ever used, so objectively bad that I refuse to believe anyone would intentionally give it a rating that is not zero. These are spoofed reviews. There is no way.

Days like this one eats cake

“Three men in black vests entered a NY restaurant claiming to be ICE agents. Inside, they tied a worker’s hands and pulled a garbage bag over the person’s head. Another, believing the burglars’ story, surrendered themselves, only to be kicked to the ground and tied up as the intruders robbed an ATM”

I’m not an especially astute political observer, but my (admittedly amateurish) take away tonight is that people hate ghoulish weirdos trying to dismantle their country, eliminate healthcare, tank the economy, roll back civil rights, destroy democracy, and starve children.

BIG BREAKING: Democrat Zohran Mamdani is elected Mayor of New York City, in the largest turnout vote since 1969. He becomes the first Muslim and immigrant mayor of New York City, and the first Muslim to be elected of a major U.S. city.
