Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

if cops weren't killing and hurting and abducting people anywhere and some randos were just damaging property for no reason I'd say, what the fuck, but given that one side is "shooting moms in the head" and the other side is "making it harder for the shooter's friends to sleep" i know who I back

"it so crazy the racist has a brown wife" no he also hates women and doesn't think his brown wife is a human person with thoughts.

If I leave the summer camp because of all the murderers, Jason wins

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

I made these this summer and was kind of shy about it, but here: Pokemon anti-ICE signs. Feel free to use them for whatever you want. Slogan courtesy of @miawong.bsky.social #art #pokemon

part of me is sorry to repost this, the videos are everywhere, but this is kinda critical context

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Not that it matters or makes anything worse but for those with family who insist on being obtuse

we simply transport the now-former ICE employees by boat to Jeffrey Epstein's island, where they live out their days subsisting on old chicken carcasses tour boats toss towards the shore

Impeach. For this, if for nothing else, and there has been plenty else.

they were always going to defend this. they absolutely fine with the idea of killing anyone who oppose their nazi agenda. they’ve been intentionally advertising to and recruiting far right maniacs in hopes they would escalate this far

important message to all bluesky users

Genuine policy suggestion: deep fakes are illegal. If you make something that makes them, we nuke your corporation from orbit. The cat is out of the bag for the tech but there's no reason we have to let massive corporations do it out in the fucking open

Anyone who 1) likes Gavin Newsom 2) said it was “too early to worry” about who’s running 3) believes, like Gavin suggests, that the Democrats lost the election for being “too woke” Is: wrong

MTG on the Epstein scandal—"elites doing horrible things and getting away with it"—may have an egalitarian air about it, but only if you fail to read it alongside the rest of her conspiracism. She's talking about the Jews. She's always talking about the Jews. flaminghydra.com/marjorie-tay...

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

GROK IS GENERATING ABOUT ‘ONE NONCONSENSUAL SEXUALIZED IMAGE PER MINUTE www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

i am back at work today

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

Once again.

Mia's right - yes you should expect the US government to be evil but this IS an escalation, it should be spoken of and opposed in extraordinary fashion

Never ever teach the algorithm what you like

It's a neat trick to say "get beyond the argument" when implicitly you mean "by accepting my position"

Elon Musk's vanity AI admitted to generating child sexual abuse imagery and it won't get as much attention from the New York Times as whatever panic about trans people they're trying to incite this week

"researchers watched 150 episodes of bluey" yeah, me too, most of them at least five times, you're not special I have a toddler

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

My wife frequents some mom groups on Facebook for anthropological reasons and the posts are always like "chat, am I wrong for being mad at my husband for refusing to be in the same room with the child?"

Oh no, my hubris

Ed's on fuckin fire with this one

This was probably inevitable once "nerd stuff" became the major driver of wealth but it's depressing all the same. We were supposed to know better, instead we collectively just became another version of "nice guys", complete with the misogyny

1. Yeah absolutely 2. Especially if they make you hold the ceremony at midnight like some kind of arcane ritual, why would you ever NOT do it like this?

This is not really shade to anyone but one of the hard things about posting as an anon because I don't think my employer would like all my takes is that sometimes I see someone in the energy wonk space go "well I haven't seen that proposed" and I personally know of more than one in queue

As Hannah Arendt put it: "The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists." Undermining that distinction will be a lasting legacy of generative AI.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

joining the "cybertruck owners only" group on fb is one of the best decisions i've ever made. every so often when i'm scrolling through fb getting pissed off, i get to see a little treat like this

Wow, and here I spent all day with people I love, mostly cooking. Guess that's why I'm a hater and loser

Oh so she's like, just evil
