Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon both helped start the modern anti-trans moral panic to distract from their paedophilia. That is a fact. As documented in the files. Also a fact is they hoped it would drive some trans people to sex work and into their arms. Also a fact documented in the files. 1/2

The short story of the 21st century in the United States is that out of malice or cowardice or some combination of both, every presidency contributed to building and expanding a federal secret police of goons and thugs, despite clear warning and obvious abuses, until we got to this point.

well i for one couldn’t be more excited for the possibilities of AI. finally a technology that answers the age old question ‘what if clippy was wormtongue’

This is a pogrom

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

My very good friend Vic died last week, also at the age of 48, also after a two-year battle with colon cancer. He might not have been as cute as JVDB, you might not have had a parasocial relationship with him, but his family really needs the help too (and has a fraction of the resources).

This movie is coming out in theaters now, but I happened to see it during a limited release in NYC late last year and it was one of the best movies I saw last year. I totally loved it. Highly recommended.

"Maybe all we do is frustrate," Star said. "Give someone one more day with their daughter or their dad. "But if you lost your dad, or you lost your daughter, you would give anything to have one more day with them. And that’s what we can do.” My latest for Slate

Rep. Becca Balint: This is not a game, Secretary. Pam Bondi: I'm Attorney General Balint: My apologies, I couldn't tell.

Media moved on because for one hour Trump pinky-swore he was going to do his genocide in a nicer way, and every day since the people in Minnesota are showing us it looks like a war zone

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

After 2 years trapped outside Gaza, Palestinians finally returning home through Rafah are met with handcuffs, blindfolds, and hours of interrogation. Israeli soldiers told them: "Gaza belongs to us now." Yet every single one said the same thing: "We will not leave." mondoweiss.net/2026/02/hand...

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

It’s an odd phenomenon where the long established red line—criminal abuse and rape of young people—has broken down, in part because of decades of elite corruption and in part because it implicates their demagogic leader. But popular revulsion won’t go away, so they’re trying to jury-rig a new line.

The bravery Marimar Martinez has shown in fighting the very federal government that tried to execute her to make it possible for all of us to see these messages is “name an elementary school after you” level of hero status.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

It is getting worse here.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

The richest people in the world are in a group chat, sending each other snuff films and sorting out the logistics to commit crimes. Meanwhile I have to go into the office tomorrow to deliver value for clients and then coach rec bball and generally carry on a normal life. The dissonance is...a lot

Okay, I’ve heard all the criticisms. I agree now that my plan to create a Jonestown on Mars was foolish and dangerous. I will instead be building a much more achievable Jonestown on the Moon

I guess I get people who want to go to space but why the fuck would just some person want to go to the moon? There's nothing up there, and it is as inhospitable to human life as an environment can be. It's like saying "I will soon make it so anyone can go to the middle of a roaring fire" Okay?????

Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

more ppl need to be pointing out that wes streeting is peter mandelson's protege and that he defended mandelson remaining friends with epstein after he was convicted.

The thing is he's not pitching this to people who work, he's pitching this to retired people who are furious that other people might get marginally better working conditions than they had.

Pure evil at work, folks.

Right now Rikers Island, the physically largest jail in the entire United States, is holding under 7,000 people. ICE's warehouse plans include detention camps which will hold between 8,500-10,000 people in buildings not designed for human habitation.

It is impossible to assault a robot and people who interfere with or damage property are not assailants.

They’re definitely making the most of the world’s attention lying elsewhere.

some things are actually getting worse here.

also the venn diagram of people mad they can't understand the lyrics and the people who think born in the usa is about how good america is is a circle

“the aura of your hobby has been hobbled by…dweebs”

And Now For Some Fun News: the Kundalini yoga grifter looks exactly like @totallyallen.bsky.social

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

The fall of the fountain in public spaces should be rued.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Having a hard time distinguishing this from actual 1930s German propaganda now

I’ll file that under Who Gives a Shit

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

i wish i loved anything as much as the dems love referring to fascists as their colleagues

if you are in MN and hear of anyone in need of a flight home from detention please send them my way ([email protected])

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again
