This is important context to keep in mind when considering the actions of this administration www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

They're killing these people for the content. Trump is using the US military to shoot snuff film to do numbers on social media.

I was actually versed enough in history to know the OG Nazis were all creepy nerds and resentful failsons, but having to live it in real time fucking sucks so much ass.

Strategically acquiescing to the bigotry you assume in other people is just more bigotry.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Meta exposé author faces bankruptcy after ban on criticising company

65% disapproval is really as low as you can go with the US population.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

Feel like we‘re suffering another “groupthink” calamity

Charlie Kirk said Joe Biden should be executed. When Democrats defend their vote for a resolution honoring this man, just remember that this is what they voted to honor.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Is this for real? I can't tell anymore. ca.news.yahoo.com/senate-passe...

It’s not Fifth Ave but it’s the same thing. This guy is an unabashed murderer.

"A temper tantrum disguised as an ideology". That. Is. Awesome. Explains everything, brief, to the point.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Still think an AI tamagotchi Jesus keychain would sell like hotcakes.

Trump reeks of weakness and desperation and lashing out foolishly as an attempt to obscure that fact and causing more damage to himself by his reaction than the alleged offense is the vicious circle he's caught in.

hey so this is insane

Major media outlets are (surprise) missing the fact that the big networks are being more feckless than usual (Kimmel) in part because they're lobbying the FCC to eliminate some of the last remaining media consolidation limits preventing the big four networks from merging

When I lived in LA all the people I knew who worked at Disney called it Mouseschwitz

Last call for anyone ever claiming the founders intended the 2A to afford the people the right to overthrow a fascist regime

Alas if we had a functioning FCC

We need to retire the concept of "fuck you money" because all the guys allegedly with it actually turned out to be huge toadies

Pilot dies after plane carrying nearly 200kg of SpaceX-branded cocaine crashes in remote Brazil

Where's Liz Cheney?

Youngkin is 1000% a bald faced liar.

NEW: A FOIA doc obtained by the @brennancenter.org shows a misconfigured DHS platform left sensitive natsec intel—including info about surveillance of Americans—accessible to thousands of unauthorized users. @agreenberg.bsky.social has the scoop. (No paywall bc FOIA) www.wired.com/story/a-dhs-...

I agree with this but also see that ChatGPT has 34% of the search market of college aged Americans. So when ChatGPT gives up on AGI they can pivot to being a search engine which is much easier. Maybe in 5 years kids will have @chatgpt.com emails instead of gmail

The blast radius of that Georgia raid has already reached Tennessee

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Seems bad

One of the reasons I trusted Bluesky when I started an account was it had a vibrant trans community, so this week seeing Bluesky mods putting thumbs on the scale to put them in danger has me thinking this may have become just another bad place.

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

The MechaHitler-ization of the opinion columnists of the American left

Bullets with memes is a grotesque evolution of violence. The missing link to this evolution was allowing the first amendment to be weaponized by the second amendment - IE defending and defining a violent mod armed with loaded weapons as a "free speech rally".

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Never Forget

Yes, murder is very bad.

This is the America I’ve always lived in.

There’s no place for political violence in America which is why qualified immunity and ICE should be abolished

The Supreme Court complaint line is (202) 479-3000

The overdeveloped sprawl of Charlottesville scarring the landscape. Make it stop.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Something about tonight made three different copperheads decide Esmont rd was a good place to nap.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

We’re gonna need 2 CDCs when we’re picking up the pieces and rebuilding our busted country — a Center for Disease Control, and a Center for Disinformation Control.

I was able to glean some useful information from an AI agent today and then it told me it was “glad” and that is a bridge too far for me
