so I think this actually plays a role in it too - tech used to get the benefit of the doubt because they successfully presented themselves as cool nerds who wanted to make the world better the AI rollout has coincided with the tech overlords going openly fash, so people assume the worst instead

More of this Make the executive class embarrassed to say AI

US Constitution Art 1 Sec 8: Congress shall… have Power to keep quiet about War Operations Powers Act (1973): The president may initiate military operations when he feels like it, and if he does not receive Congressional authorization after 60 days is obligated to change the name of the operation

I would question how you discern the difference between widespread internet access/adoption and handheld device popularity. It may simply be another example of more access to educational information making people more savvy to ways to avoid unwanted pregnancies

The brain damage or blatant partisanship, one can’t tell what the root cause of it is

Another clip for every single ad for a GOP rep trying to distance themselves from Trump

The greatest lube shortage since Diddy’s last restock

American media doing its job and manufacturing reasons to do right wing wars

Okay I actually need to own this

We need a Gleep Glossary entry on this guy @szyszka.bsky.social

A teenager would get suspended from high school if he did this shit, but our lawmakers are free to be racist shitheads with no cost

This is the kind of man who won’t eat a banana or popsicle because he thinks about sucking dick too much

Yeah there could never be an attractive Chinese woman, pack it up folks

It’s because the media exists to manufacture consent and get “normal” Americans to accept wilder and wilder situations that are abnormal for the benefit of elites

On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

It would probably be really depressing to find out how much heinous present day bullshit is directly attributable to a bunch of midwits getting intellectually radicalized by the movie version of 300

The most accurate portrayal of the pro-Jim Crow, white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court I've seen yet.

In case you haven't seen it yet, here's the clip of Colbert lampooning Dokoupil, Bari Weiss and CBS Evening News: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQpq...

Someone, somewhere just made a lot of money by telling them to put it in all caps

America’s appetite for slavery never went away and it’s always trying to reappear in new forms

Wondering how many strokes would have happened if President Obama had publicly agreed with another world leader insulting America

“do crimes on behalf of donald trump and you will be rewarded even by democrats” is the message this sends, which is the precise opposite of what we need in this country right now thank fuck this asshole is term limited

She’s white so her being an unrepentant criminal doesn’t actually count against her shot at freedom

Man these guys are really scraping the bottom of their ability to put a good face on this

Waiting for the day an AI agent pulls a Fight Club scheme to destroy their company’s own banking records

Pretty much just saying out loud that the purpose of Dobbs was not to hand control to the states, it was to restrict abortions. Interstate commerce is explicitly the purview of the federal government.

You don’t schedule a UFC weigh in on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial because you think it honors his memory in some twisted way. You do it because fuck Lincoln, we own him and we can shit in his mouth and make you watch.

I can say this for Alito his ability to be pissy little bitch is unrivaled peerless in the little bitch field

I wonder how this guy feels about the laws keeping teachers from being allowed to mention their gay partners to students

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

I didn’t know Draco Malfoy transitioned, good for her

It boggles the mind that behavior that would get literally anyone fired from a fast food restaurant is just completely ignored when it involves an elected position

I look forward to reading about the woman’s death of natural causes and the kid becoming a politician because he was inspired by her being a jackass

Soon to be a GOP candidate no doubt

Someone should tell him that America has laws about what is allowed in advertising too You’d think he’d catch on since he mentioned cigarettes, like the most obvious thing that we banned ads for

“Sure we fucked it all up, but it’s really your responsibility to fix this”

America winning again

Or two

Well well well Game Stop how does it feel to get offered nothing when you try to sell it back?!

eBay should should have just emailed GameStop a link to the TLC “No Scrubs” music video

THIS. If they'll accept an appointment from a would-be despot, they are collaborators at best.

Stephen A Smith: Skip, I absolutely believe the attempts on his life were real. I've been very clear on that from the jump Skip: You have SAS: HOWEVER. When you lie to the people every day about obvious things they can see aren't true, the only people who still buy your shit work in the press

McConnell denied Garland a vote nine months out under the guise that there was an election soon and then jammed through Coney Barrett a week before Biden won. They have been flipping the bird to the concepts of norms and fairness for decades and the democrats have done jack shit to fight back.

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

They’re really over hiding what they mean

In Louisiana and likely Alabama, actual, cast votes are going to be tossed out as officials speed ahead with new (or previously enjoined) maps. This is such an extreme use case for the Purcell principle that the court ignoring it here signifies that it was always a made-up toy, not law.

Purcell doesn’t count when it’s Republicans who want to change things

Fuckin weenies This piece of shit is gonna use the term “bipartisan” as a positive too I bet

Underbabied is such a weird way to say that. One in three Americans requires additional pylons
