if mamdani gets this in every interview, republicans should always be asked to respond to the 76% of Black voters who think their party is "very" racsist

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with: -No casus belli -No authorization from Congress -No allies or international support -No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela -No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Spotted at Harvard today. Not great at all at how this nazi is being mainstreamed and normalized. This shit is absolutely not welcomed here. Used water from my water bottle to erase part of it.

Maybe instead of spending billions of dollars to shove unnecessary AI into everything, tech companies could spend $10 to innovate updates not resetting all of your settings.

musk agreeing with an explicitly eugenicist post

Corrupt AF www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is a story about how America’s world-leading cancer and dementia research system was destroyed by frauds and naifs who broke the law. There must be consequences.

A lot of people upset about this should bear in mind that the audio was recorded 15 years ago for an audio book. This is about a corporation fucking over actors.

This country is what it has always been.

Wait u don't mean to tell me prosecutors ever bring cases they know are bullshit based on bullshit testimony from cops they know are bullshitting???????

I'll just leave these here

So, I have read articles written by people who claim that the entire concept of modern medicine is bad, because "artificially" saving people's lives has put a stop to human evolution by letting genetically inferior people breed. Great that those folks are in charge of the CDC now.

Whenever this is mentioned, it is obligatory to post xkcd 2381, in which @gretchenmcc.bsky.social shares forbidden linguistic knowledge with the masses.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially. Period. This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Not only that, but this comes a week after Kimmel lost one of his best friends/band leader. It’s just horribly insensitive and tasteless. Also, for someone who made a living from TV, you’d think he’d know there’s no such thing as “TV syndicates.” (The word he’s looking for is “affiliates.”)

Checking in on MechaHitler

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Trump's DC troop deployment is likely illegal — both as to D.C. National Guard and and out-of-state National Guard units — granting DC's request to block the use of the troops in this way. The preliminary injunction is stayed until Dec. 11.

The only reason Trump got away with it with the Mueller Report is that the press rushed out to publish "Mueller finds no wrongdoing!" headlines. Will they do the same thing with Epstein? (Yes, they will.)

One conspiracy theory I half believe is that the NFL changed its rule about how early teams got access to the kicking balls in hopes of getting someone to break Justin Tucker's distance record.

So you don't think a president should show others respect, even or especially if they say something unfavorable. That he should carry himself with dignity and not look like an orange-flavored shamblin' shoggoth in a cheap suit? If you think he shows dignity or respect, I have a bridge to sell you.

I think the level of sexual abuse that is going to be coming out of ICE would put the Boston archdiocese and Penn State to shame

Prediction: Some sections of the fandom will bitch and moan endlessly about this movie. Then it will come out and be actually good because I have faith in Wes Ball.

Is November 17, 2000 the most “HOLY SHIT, TWO CAKES!” of family movie releases that actually worked? Rugrats in Paris and How the Grinch Stole Christmas?

The fact that a raging homophobic racist bigot like Marjorie Taylor Greene is seeing the writing on the wall with all the pedophilia and going "yeah I'm out" means there's a breaking point that's finally being established

Morgan Freeman is taking legal action over AI clones of his voice "I'm a little pissed off ... don’t mimic me with falseness. I don’t appreciate it and I get paid for doing stuff like that, so if you’re gonna do it without me, you're robbing me" (via Guardian)

Nine of the stuff currently happening in America would he happening if y'all had voted for democrats. I mean, no Dem would try to out a 107 percent tarriff on fucking Italian made pasta.

I would argue the I Choose You version surpasses XY and definitely has the sauce

Proud to be the 2,009th backer 😎 on @backerkit.com for The Dragon King. Thanks @thedragonprince.bsky.social

I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights. I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

This is while Square Enix is part of that group of Japanese companies demanding that OpenAI stop using their stuff. Not a single thing SE is doing makes any sense, and I don't see what the functional outcome of this could possibly be.

'Mega Dimension' DLC Announced, Detailed For 'Pokémon Legends: Z-A'

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

Absolutely correct. There clearly *is* a social media site where the users are trapped in an unreal bubble that bears no resemblance to reality, but a lot of reporters are trapped on Twitter there with them so they just can't see it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably the first time in American history a sitting governor has used that particular -- and particularly apt -- phrase in a public speech

just want to reiterate that the first amendment isn't something you "hide behind," it's something that constrains the government's ability to limit your inalienable rights. that distinction is very important

The corporate media keeps insisting that "HEY EVERYBODY, A RICH GUY SAID SOMETHING!" is worthy of news coverage but in most cases it really isn't. New Yorkers had an election yesterday and a lot of them were fine with "Mamdani's talking points." I'm sorry Richie Rich isn't happy, but who cares?

Bahahahahahaha

That’s the second reported and sourced story on US soldiers not being fed today

I know you've been holding your breath for *my* take on the election, so here it is. BREATHE.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Checking in on Rudy Giuliani, I see he's having an insane one

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions

We now go live to Andrew Cuomo for his concession speech.

Who is wise? One who learns from all people. Who is a fool? One who is content with their own limited understanding of the world. (Pirkei Avot, Ethics of our Fathers)

I don’t “entirely“ agree with this. Yes I think Dems should consolidate their coalition & non-white support. Yes Dems can win without a “majority” of white voters. No I don’t think we should give a pass to how white folks vote. Not when they systematically whine about how fucked their lives are now.
