What makes all of this so aggravating is we were all told the story of The Emperor’s New Clothes as kids and now when it’s happening, 30% of the country is unable to see how it’s applicable today.

That's not how cause and effect work in a universe where time is a linear one way street.

"sky is the new home of TNT Sports on HBO Max" is still sending me into conniptions. it's not even literally on Poob. it's a Tubu original presented by HeeBee on Pheebo, subscribe through Poob using the hoob button

"Humanity actually had everything they needed to enter a golden age in the 2010s but because a few psychotic assholes who wanted to own everything couldn't stand the idea of other people thriving, they sabotaged an entire world just to have more fake money than they could ever use before they died."

i still fundamentally believe that sandwichnet is real in star trek

The first bots to fight on a human level will be quadcopters the size of your fist, they'll be armed with just enough explosive to puncture a human skull & facial recognition and travel in packs of a few thousand Someone will put googly eyes on one and snap a pic and it will be Discourse for a week

I know some disagree but someone like Stephen Fry changing his mind and doing a complete 180 after supporting She Who Must Not Be Named, is a good thing and is evidence that attitudes are changing.

"Stop resisting" but for mass surveillance

I cannot reiterate enough with the frequency and gravity it deserves that every reinfection increases the cumulative risk of Long COVlD. Our PMC survey data (n>2,000) suggest it is rare to avoid LC after 5+ known infections. I'll talk more about that again Sunday night in Becky's Space.

companies have long hijacked the names of real or dead people to create fake support for unpopular policy during public regulatory comment periods, something made exponentially worse by AI

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.

That’s also why you should not describe him with ableist such as calling him batshit insane. You have to understand the mad are a population he wants to eradicate & not contribute to his cause.

I can’t get over how Cultural Revolution the DOGE story is, these young people doing crimes they didn’t understand on behalf of a political leader

Devastating. I have a hand cranked radio, I don't have hand cranked wifi.

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

I've never seen this much of a difference before, my god - I keep telling you: these freaks hate being mocked or laughed at more than anything. I wonder how many of these "reviews" were created just for this.

"An officer told the teen that she was causing her own injuries because she was screaming as the dog attacked and bit her, and she was handcuffed as the dog continued to bite her, the suit claims."

“she had spent nearly six months in jail and because she was unable to pay bills while behind bars, she lost her home, her car and her dog…Lipps’ arrest is the eighth documented wrongful arrest in the United States tied to facial recognition, according to IBS Times.“

Let me just say that having been there, the idea of being a Black woman in labor in America and having to go before a judge is terrorism.

At the beginning of the pandemic some disabled people felt hope. We saw inclusion and accessibility improve overnight. We saw accommodations put in place that we had spent years begging for. We saw the world adapt. That hope was ripped away during the rush back to normal. It still hurts.

Dark money campaign in IL-09 changed their shady website last night not to dispute reporting but to smear it with the fact that I worked w/ Abughazaleh's boyfriend at NBC 3 years ago. To be clear: Ben is cool. We used to work together. And that had no influence on this 100% true story. Send me tips!

Idk I'm not fully convinced this isn't "fuck the balance sheets look terrible and we're overleveraged" being turned into a marketing opportunity to boost the value of their AI assets and also mean they won't get penalized by the markets for poor management decisions

NIH funds are not ever going back to real researchers under the new system. It's not about cuts, it's about redefining science as the junk these cargo cultists produce and diverting the NIH budget to that. Bhattacharya's buddy Kulldorf laid it all out in their "journal" last year. It's all there.

it's deeply embarrassing that team usa is treating the wbc like a military operation while every other team is just having a lot of fun

Pleased to be quoted alongside Sarah Yager in this piece. “The basic idea is that it’s both inhumane and counterproductive to execute people who have laid down their arms.” And an outrageous war crime to even announce you will do so. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

Horrific. Texas Supreme Court ruled that PFLAGs in Texas have to turn over records related to fleeing the state, contingency plans to get care, doctors lists, and more. Texas has become such a terrifying place for trans people. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/lgb...

“McCabria wrote in his decision that there isn't enough evidence to show that trans people will face harassment and discrimination if they have to use bathrooms or show IDs that conflict with their gender identities.” lmao oh cis people

Indeed, if you are lucky, in the best case scenario, you will live long enough to become disabled.

For Kansans: If you need help covering the costs of a new ID, transportation to the DMV, etc., both the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas and Equality El Dorado have set up mutual aid funds to help: LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas: lgbtqks.org/sb244/ Equality El Dorado: [email protected]

Imagine moving to Ireland with a condition like diabetes and being told that, no, while you may have been diagnosed elsewhere, you have to wait 18 years for assessment to make sure you really have diabetes before you are prescribed insulin

I walk by this every week or so. Mostly empty and they play Jetsons episodes on the screens. Employees outside try to look busy. Just a generally grim place. Destined to shutter its doors soon.

The details here are horrific. They arrested her in Tennessee, jailed her for months, and eventually shipped her off to Fargo. She lost her home, her car and her dog. They eventually realized their mistake and put her out on the streets of Fargo on Christmas Eve. Could happen to any of us.

Yeah people like Matt Y will then rely on a whole defense of “we just need to follow the will of the people”. *The will of the people ends up being a poorly worded, conveniently open ended poll

When you are claiming you have a responsibility *to the country* not to give a guy a fist bump at a baseball game, you have lost your footing in a variety of ways. I just am so bummed about how this is all going.

abstract art haters bring up "talentless random paint splatters" or "that one banana" as total non sequitur with all the unbridled psychosexual rage of a familially estranged terf frothing about the sanctity of co-ed elementary school sports

BASEBALL is not about FUN or JOY it's about the ARMY

'The amendment introduces severe criminal penalties based on vague and undefined terms such as “influencing someone to become transgender.”' Horrible stuff, if unsurprising. Was wondering when this regime would start to tighten the vise on the trans population, like their western counterparts.

This made me fall into a fit of madness hate laughter like an old-time cosmic horror story

Team USA continues to have the most rancid vibes of any team in the World Baseball Classic. O'Neill is a right-wing lunatic.

Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.

Stars & Stripes is one of the best examples (if not the best) of a successful, publicly-funded, editorially independent newspaper. The model could be the future of journalism. Therefore, the Trump administration wants to kill it.

The most immediately notable part of the verdict is that people were convicted material support for terrorism for believing in antifascism and going to a noise demo where people lit off consumer grade fireworks.

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...

Once more for those in the back: don't fedpost. They want to scoop you up as easily as possible, and gifting them a reason makes you a soft target.

I'm 63. I transitioned at 57. I sometimes think about what would have happened to me if I'd done it earlier. And I'm aware that I will end up having lived longer as the wrong me than the right one. But I can't change the past. And I'm happy. I might be a late bloomer. But at least I bloomed. 🏳️‍⚧️

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

I would also like the Democrats to stop just ceding the Republican framing of everything that matters we can't be the party of "nothing matters except tax cuts" when teachers have to buy school supplies with their own money and no one under 40 will ever be able to buy a house
