This is why you prosecute the Bush administration officials for the torture program

it's "awesome" how legislators are falling over themselves to pass bills to make us all upload our driver's licenses to every random app to "protect kids" while looking at the Suicide Encouraging CSAM Machines and offering their finest shrugs

Those things are going to see unspeakable shit

“Decant after headlines.”

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

He's been taking lessons from Susan Collins.

Fun Fact: If Maduro was in the Epstein files he'd be safe at home in his bed right now.

So the US will sell another country's oil and keep all the profits for its billionaires and expect Venezuelans to just sit there and accept it? Ok! Good luck! Oh BTW, I wonder what China, the number one buyer of Venezuelan oil, thinks about all this...

It took congress a week to introduce impeachment proceedings against Trump for J6. By then, GOP opposition had evaporated and everyone got back in line. Imagine if they'd done it the next day. Maybe nothing changes, or maybe we aren't in this mess.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It doesn't matter whether LLMs are interesting or potentially useful or even already applied elsewhere technology. We do not currently live in a world where that matters or is possible. It doesn't matter what we invent if the driving force of how it's used is psychotic billionaires chasing ..

Reuters, a news organisation, just quoted a speak n spell like it was human.

Back in the day, Tipper Gore et al wanted banning of music that might have a detrimental effect on childrens' social and religious development Friggin crickets when one of the most prominent websites in the world becomes a vending machine for CSAM though Almost like that wasn't the point

The government made me wear an uncomfortable amount of PPE while drawing reactor coolant samples or entering the reactor compartment so now I think radiation is actually good for you and the shitlibs are denying us the miracle of irradiation.

White people will never forget their imagined grievances against the people that they see as lesser than them but they will always forget to wash their hands in public restrooms and I Want To Know Why

Looking for angel investors for my exciting new startup. We poison rivers. No, just for fun. Why, yes, it IS named after a Tolkien character. How did you know?

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

guys you can’t flip your shit about every bananas racist op-ed about zohran in the ny post. or you can i guess but that’ll mean spending most of your life in a shit flip. it’s a marathon and that rag has been training for it way longer than any of us

This is incredible. They just discovered an Egyptian tomb filled with chocolate and hazelnut. They believe it is the tomb of Pharaoh Rocher.

wut

Some of you will believe any horrific allegation about our president merely because it's fully consistent with who he is

“when did you, jd vance, apologize for being white” feels like a pretty natural question for the press to ask the vice president now

LMAO

There’s a direct line from ‘just asking questions about women’s sports’ to criminalizing our health care, we warned you it was coming, you said it would be fine and you just had a few more questions.

ever since i was a little boy i knew i wanted to stare at rectangles that make me angry

"The space shuttle blew up and it's a tragedy. But those astronauts believed they were smarter than me. I am the greatest president and have done so many great things. Who is smarter now? I prefer people who haven't been blown up. May they rest in peace, even though they were smartypants losers."

so tired

if these kids were conservative influencers, it would not have been "things can happen"

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Every time someone talks about safety nets, healthcare, ubi, trans rights, taxing the rich, prison reform, dei, they're called hate-mongering dangerous radicals. Every time someone calls for public hangings or kidnapping and stranding people in countries they've never been, they're called unorthodox

“Don’t replace the culture war with class war” is such a fun way of saying, “Please don’t unionize, I just bought a yacht that parks inside another yacht.”

You’ll Be OK

Before you reply to a post, ask yourself: would your dog approve of what you're about to say?

"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

Interesting thing for a guy who can be credibly described as a mass murderer to say 🤔

By destroying USAid, Musk is a murderer.

I am in favor of hanging one particular mass murderer

brave words from Musk too, considering the death toll from full self-driving* Teslas and (several orders of magnitude greater) killing USAID *not quite

Elon Musk is responsible for the deaths of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people, but he would never imagine consequences for a rich white man.

How is it not awkward that Elon is a mass murderer?

UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

Fortune Teller: "You will die on a major Mexican holiday." Trump: "Which Mexican holiday? Cinco de Mayo? Fortune Teller: "It doesn't matter because any day you die will be a major Mexican holiday."
