Everyone says they want Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism until they learn the Communism will be endless amounts of charts, the Space stuff will be done mostly by robots, the Full Automation will come from AI, and the Gay part will also involve AI making up for the top shortage.

The majority of currently elected Democrats are not suited to take the actions necessary starting in 2027 to pave the way for even more dramatic steps in 2029. That means we can't have the primary base hating Congress in the abstract but thinking their House member is fine. That's how we got here.

Jesus christ! OpenAI had a negative 122% operating margin for Q1 2026 and growth in ChatGPT has stalled. Very nice Mr. Altman! Well done sir! www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

Anon reviewer told us to cite more of my work:

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

"Bikes can replace car trips" ≠ "Everyone MUST replace their car and ride a bike for all trips."

UPDATE: The Colorado Democratic Party's central committee is now considering a measure to censure or otherwise punish Gov Jared Polis (D) for giving clemency to Tina Peters. I'll thread details here.

Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be losing weight at a supernatural rate due to the “Thinner” curse after accidentally running over an elderly woman with your car.

I think a lot of our doomier politics are informed by having to sit idly by and watch a bunch of selfish shitheads reject the entire idea of society and loot the public coffers during and immediately after the COVID pandemic

I don't care what your politics are, this is bullshit.

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

These RCT results (via Swayable) get at the big problem. The right wing immigration ads Dems ran both built public support for the ICE nightmare we are living now, AND were politically disastrous, showing clear backfire on candidate choice questions. They made voters want to vote for Trump.

New genders just dropped.

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

If a grifter suddenly seems to be “switching sides,” they’re likely just looking for new marks. If you’re buying it, that new mark is you.

Historian here this is literally about gutting the Reconstruction amendments especially the consequential 14th amendment piece by piece.

it's actually true that you cannot fund good government entirely by taxing the rich, which is why slopulist proposals to gut the tax base are a bad idea but taxing the rich at punitive levels is a goal in and of itself, billionaires are simply too dangerous to public policy to exist

It’s because it’s not government policy. It’s not a legal action. It’s not a political move. It’s a heist. You’re watching an armed heist in broad daylight and the man leading it is asking you to be happy about your money being stolen from you and your family

👀👀👀

men only want one thing and it’s disgusting

Still growing

we remain shackled to the corpse of progressive era reform where to counter corrupt spoils we made everything elected but now all the mediating institutions that kept those offices bound together in something like order are dead or dying and we're just left with the rot

ICE goon Christian Castro has been charged with assault and shooting a man in Minnesota. He is the 2nd goon charged with a serious crime in that state in connection with the huge infamous ICE crime spree in that state. This is important. Not just talk. State officials are finally DOING SOMETHING.

There have only been two playoff games since 1990 where a player put up 40+ points and 20+ rebounds on the road: - Victor Wembanyama (tonight) - Nikola Jokic (May 5, 2025) Both against Oklahoma City. Both in wins.

Why do so many city employees hate cities so much?

You can’t budget you way out of things costing too much. You deserve to eat good healthy foods. To keep your home at a comfortable temperature. To drive to visit loved ones. You’re not asking for too much.

#LegalizeStreetFood We should be helping these small businesses bring culture and life to our sidewalks and train stations — not making them jump through endless hoops and penalizing them

In a sane world, we'd be discussing giving a million dollars to Jeffrey Epstein's victims and not to the traitors on January 6.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

its cool that half the executive branch looks like this dude now

❤️‍🩹The reunion of two loyal friends after a long separation – a Ukrainian soldier and his dog. First, the dog seemed to scold him for being away so long. Then it started hugging him. I’m not crying. Something just got in my eye.

The kids call it "Getting Hygge With It"

“The institutional left wouldn’t touch Tesla Takedown with a ten-foot pole. Democratic Party pros with whom Evan had a fifteen-year professional relationship wouldn’t take his calls about it.”

this is such a great encapsulation of what the various factions of the reactionary right want. i might add that they envision themselves as slave masters and the rest of us, in one way or another, as their slaves. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

After Plessy v Ferguson it was 58 years before we got a court willing to overturn it. I don’t think Black people who want to vote and women who want to have rights to their bodies and trans people who want to EXIST should have to wait that long because it offends your sense of propriety.

Gerontocracy is how I still occasionally see people talk about AOC being too "young" and "inexperienced" for a presidential run despite the fact that in 2028 she will be 39 and have spent a quarter of that life as a US congressional member sitting on 5 different oversight and finance committees.

Every Kash Patel story

really hard to beat this as a symbol of institutional decay. the SEALs — a unit that has become infamously loose in discipline — escorting a corrupt politician without any discipline (Patel) on a party inside a hallowed watery graveyard for the fallen

it's caturday, but i'm making an exception for Her

Japanese urbanism is an excellent example of dry, technocratic rules making a massive difference in the texture of people's lives

A devastating story has come out about a US citizen child, Orlin, who was murdered after ICE deported his mom. This tragedy is an abject failure by ICE, and it’s why I will not give them another cent. We must stop the cruelty and lawlessness of this administration.

NYT confirms — with new details: Last year, Navy SEALs used two boats to escort Kash Patel and nine others on what a Pentagon email called a 'VIP Snorkel' next to one of the military's most sacred sites, the underwater tomb of the U.S.S. Arizona. One Navy vet called the swim "horrifying."

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

this same dynamic also applies to a lot of the media coverage - “surely I, as a Serious Politics Person, would not be involved in covering a complete lunatic as a normal politician, so I must invent ever more elaborate reasons why he isn’t a lunatic”

He’s seriously doubling down on this. 🤡

Hey guys
