Follow journalists... not fucking influencers.

these people think the average American is a white racist who drives a $65,000 truck with a cab big enough to hold a humpback whale, but his shirt isn't clean so he's poor Kid Rock basically

if I want to know what I think why the fuck would I watch the news

One thing I would love to see less of in 2026 is people posting screenshots of tweets/other social media posts with no corroboration that the thing being posted about in the screenshot really happened. Esp. news/politics related things. I’m sorry, but this is 100% necessary atp.

This is a bare minimum for the first day actions of any post fascist government at the national level. If a candidate cannot or will not commit to this amongst other day one actions on the campaign trail they do not deserve to hold power.

they opened with artificially low rates to price out all of your local restaurants' in-house delivery drivers specifically so they could do this

That's it, i'm no longer doing any of my banking on X

People coming over from Twitter now that Grok is doing things that are fully and rightly illegal almost everywhere... Yeah, you stuck it out when Grok was pro-Apartheid and cosplaying Hitler. I can't stop you from coming here but at least have the decency to not expect the red carpet treatment.

There are multiple national political commentators who earnestly predicted that Eric Adams would be a legitimate presidential candidate and a national figurehead of the Democratic party by now and those commentators still have careers somehow.

This brainrot is more responsible for the rise of authoritarianism in the US than any of the wokeness it will not shut up about

I should have mentioned in my thread that this is also an extremely common collaborative thing for public people and designers to do (also photographers, wardrobe designers for films, etc). A whole hell of a lot of those red carpet looks at every huge event are loaned out.

I still maintain the single worst change Elon made in terms of pure user experience was updating replies to favor the people willing to pay for the blue checks instantly - overnight - reply sections changed from a font of creative riffing to a barren wasteland of the worst posts imaginable

Exactly this. Don't buy her bullshit.

2026

which political views? which ones specifically

Starting tomorrow, federal agents who cover their faces can be arrested across the state of California. If your local elected officials have been crying about ICE raids for the past year, now they can direct the police who exist entirely under their control to do something about it.

I’ll see yall next year ✨

one of the all-time greats

This will stay with me forever

After my home was destroyed, I'm now living in a relative's house. But that house lost all its walls due to the bombing of neighboring houses. We put up plastic sheeting, but the wind tore it. Now the rain leaks everywhere. Any support gives me strength. - Sama’a 🤍 tinyurl.com/SamaasFamily

Israel becomes the first country in the world to ban the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders. Let that sink in. File under "Things you do when you are committing genocide"... www.nbcnews.com/world/israel...

it's actually sus that they don't have enough daycares. There should be MORE.

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.

libsoftiktok is now the third most powerful branch of government after the president and supreme court

Mohammed Jamil is struggling to raise funds to get some basic shelter for him and his family. You can help by sharing and considering even a small donation

sahar and her family need shelter after their tent was destroyed by bad weather. please help them out if you can gofund.me/77a751af7

Politicians introduced 96 bills targeting transgender student athletes in 2025. That’s more than 9x the number of trans people playing college sports nationally.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hadeel. Hadeel and her husband owned a business before the war but it and their home was destroyed. They are living with their children Joan, 3 and Celine, 16 months, who was born during the war. They are struggling with vitamin deficiencies.

the problem with dedicating campaign funds toward charitable endeavors is what if you lose and then all you’ve done is helped people in need in your community?

Diplomoceras (the clippy) and Pseudocenoceras

"Your Current Subscription" Mixed media on paper Haha but can you imagine

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months. It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

The rate of return here is crazy: for a few hundred thousand dollars, this lab produces literally billions of oysters and supports a seafood industry worth hundreds of millions. And the Trump administration is just like "fuck all that, it's wasteful spending, you're fired"

Administrative burdens: Policymaking by other means

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Pluribus rules because it’s forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person

Never mind the casual misogyny in that post, and the implication that women "trick" men into relationships by applying…make-up?

“Literally funded by EU tax dollars”. No "dollars" involved, and the EU pre-production arts grant was under 5% of Dustborn’s total budget. Watching an "industry professional" (ex-iD, Chaosium, Microprose) recycle culture-war rage bait is pretty bleak. This is how disinformation spreads.

Trying again. 🫩 Unfortunately, my ssid claim got denied. Gotta work on that. Anyways, I have a bill in need of paying before the 22nd of December, despite it saying January. Also, a $100 for food would be great. Need pay ASAP. #helpsky www.paypal.me/maninthearmor cash.app/$maninthearmor

I think the aim should be “boycott the skin and reject playing with people who use it,” which is more in line with how people would handle this on Discord if there was a Harry Potter promo profile border or something
