every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

This feels like something that should get an Attorney General impeached and disbarred.

"AI is a tool of fascism" really needs to start being one of the primary talking points

After years of our press hand-wringing about the figures as from the "Hamas run health ministry". Utterly shameful. But will we learn anything, hold anyone accountable for our enabling of genocide? Of course not.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Camps, where detainees can be concentrated.

I went to bed to Trump suing the IRS for $10b for no reason and woke up to Trump arresting journalists for covering protests against him, all against the backdrop of multiple dead civilians and flagrantly unconstitutional acts and Congress still can't be bothered to act in any capacity.

legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

A New York federal judge dismissed murder and weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, a major blow to prosecutors that means Mangione no longer faces a possible death penalty if convicted reut.rs/45Fin56

Jesus Christ. The "pivot" lasted about 15 minutes. Arresting a black journalist under the Ku Klux Klan Act for covering a pro-immigration protest at a Christian nationalist church led by an ICE officer is the perfect encapsulation of this administration's authoritarianism, racism, and trolling.

Ah, I see I am waking up to another signpost on the road to fascism having passed

This podcast has lasted longer than the confederacy. Fuck your stars and bars.

So initial experiments with Open AI's vibe-coding science tool Prism are going about as well as expected.

30th January 1649 Charles 1 was beheaded in Whitehall. A lost traditional but nonetheless Happy Beheading King Day!

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

Rough day for Sex Matters

No media outside of Kansas has picked up on the fact that the state just enacted a de facto public ban and papers-please act against trans people, and they won't, because trans people are only newsworthy if it furthers our dehumanization.

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion." Fascinating piece here on what Davos can teach us about the AI industry by @mattseybold.bsky.social

I genuinely don't know what to say about this stuff anymore. It's deliberate disinformation. There can be no other explanation.

I can confirm that Sex Matters has been refused permission to bring its anti-democratic, exclusionary, and bigoted challenge to the inclusive space at Hampstead Ponds. More to follow.

and as everyone knows, if you kicked a car, it justifies your street execution by death squads

Striking numbers which demonstrate, in spades, how tiny is the popular support for the culture of hate that Britain's institutions seem determined to impose on a kind and accepting majority. (Expect the BBC to ignore it or qualify it to oblivion.)

I hope by now everyone gets that all struggles are intertwined, but if you had any doubt— this bounty hunter model is based off of Texas’ SB8, which was the death knell for Roe— & allowed ppl to pull these same vigilante lawsuits against anyone assisting in someone getting abortion care.

As an historian I often wonder how people learned nothing from the twentieth century and how we have fallen into the mess and rise of fascism yet again and here we are. People simply *don't care* that they are in a military alliance with and dependant on a fascist state when capitalism requires it.

This is the way.

FIVE HUNDRED AID WORKERS

approaching the problem of "roving death squads" from an incrementalist point of view is just a slow form of suicide

Genuinely one of my all-time top three anime. Beautifully, creepy, and hauntingly melancholy. I really cannot recommend it enough.

JK Rowling: hello children Rowling: i finally know why the ungrateful kidss thesse dayss have been rejecting harry potter Barker: we all figured that out a long time ago Poe: clive Barker: oh i'm sorry edgar Barker: am i wrong? Poe: Poe: no you're not wrong

However stupid or bigoted you thought Scott Adams was, I'm here to share some trivia-bert that reveals he was actually way worse than that skepchick.org/2026/01/scot...

the way liberals are taking that guardian article on the ehrc 'guidance' as a positive sign is legit pissing me off. thanks 'allies'. that's all it takes to get you to go 'this sounds reasonable'. there is no way to do segregation reasonably.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

GC people will watch a lesbian be executed and agree to disagree on if it’s wrong.

Let’s take the government at their word and twenty minute taster sessions on Microsoft Copilot is the biggest government investment in adult education in seventy years, what does that tell us about this country?

Pleased to announce I've been hired to do the marketing for this campaign

NEW: Expensive gas still biggest driver of high UK electricity bills, says UKERC "Volatile, gas-linked market prices – not green policies, as some misleading claims have suggested – dominate the real-terms increase in bills since 2021." www.carbonbrief.org/expensive-ga...

Can you decide whether you want to resist the forces of hatred and division that have been tearing our society apart, or whether you want to wear a black suit and stand in front of a billowing union flag vowing to crack down upon Them? Because these two things are mutually exclusive.

Sounds like we bought a billion tons of cotton that M&M Enterprises now can’t shift, so we’ll all be eating chocolate-covered cotton for the next few years

Please, Mr Wallet Inspector! Won't you visit me again? So desperate for something - anything! - to save them from the consequences of 40 years of Thatcherism that huffing the Tony Blair Institute's farts about the barely-functional slop engine is their last hope for salvation.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I mean, a lot of this is quite directly a moral panic about social media apparently turning teenagers trans, if you dig into who's funding this push and what they're like.

there is a post from the US gov 'department of war' on here that includes video of them actually murdering people and threatening to murder more people & it's been up since november

She's had two of his constituents murdered and he won't call for her prosecution

"I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity." Scoop from @davidgilbert.bsky.social

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Dems are starting so far back from what is needed that one of their demands is "warrants for arrests" MOTHER FUCKER THAT WAS ALREADY REQUIRED
