Notably, the psychologist who came up with Stockholm Syndrome didn't actually talk to or interact with any of the hostages

a *lot* of mewling liberals need to understand that the answer to "You're gonna' get in trouble." has to be "Okay" followed by action or nothing is going to get better ever. You cannot challenge a system without being willing to break its rules.

i think it really speaks to how fucked every single thing is at every level right now that tech ceos have openly pivoted their businesses to "lying to all the other businesses that their new computer program will let them fire all of us" and we haven't started a violent revolt against them

Scooby Doo meme guy with a mask on that says "shitty about trans rights" 2nd panel they pull the mask off and it just says "actually just a huge piece of shit" without fail the venn diagram is a circle

Okay so they’re using AI for it then. Hate companies twist their way through this crap

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

I hate centrists so much dawg. "Different beliefs" bro some of these people's "beliefs" include the deportation and deaths of people like me. I always hated that shit man. Different opinions should be shit like "I like chicken instead of beef", not "I think brown people shouldn't have rights"

tell it to the hague, buddy

I've been going to these fancy conferences and just doing a gloves off thing for the last few months and I feel freer than a guy with five DUIs riding an ebike on a sidewalk.

Going to make a thread of every reason to NEVER vote for Newsom. Let's start with:

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

VAN HOLLEN: What did everyone else have for lunch on Epstein Island? LUTNICK: Everyone else ordered the pedophile salad. VAN HOLLEN: And what did you order? I will remind you you are under oath. LUTNICK: I ordered a normal salad. With green goddess dressing. But there was... a kitchen mistake.

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

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

jesus christ!!!!! stop wtf!!!!

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.

Really funny how the ruling class keeps justifying infringing on our liberties with "we gotta protect the children" while bombing palestinian children, protecting a global billionaire network of child trafficking, and building measles infested children prisons

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

the owner just spent 75 million on a film that opened with a 7 million take

"Abolish the Police and then what?" while infantile and often asked in bad faith, is at least, on some levels, a real question "Ablish ICE and then what?" Is not a real question. Clearly if ICE didn't exist tomorrow society would just objectively be more peaceful and would not in any way fall apart

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

This guy is a great example of why the way to handle people scared of cool progressive stuff is to ignore them, do the cool progressive stuff anyway, then watch as their protests quietly fade because the cool progressive stuff is inarguably good.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

The sooner Chuck Schumer is gone from office, the easier and better our lives will be.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

The coolest Congresswoman there’s ever been.

A rant. I (Ben) have multiple pending deadlines, but am very frustrated tonight. I need to rant about how awful paywalled magazines/news sites are. Why? Because their paywalls are trivial to break. Paywalls built using javascript actually download the full article, then put up a wall to block it.

It sucks that while Tim Walz has basically done nothing besides praise the civilians for hating ICE, that's still better than Gavin Newsom going "now hold on let's not abolish ICE." Walz is doing the bare minimum and that's miles ahead of a whole lot of the democrats.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy www.sacbee.com

"I didn't say I wanted to. I said that I will." This is the kind of positive thinking and visualizing we really need.

I'm constantly disgusted with people who claim everything wrong with the world is down to human nature, attempting to naturalize what ultimately is down to culture and structures. It's only because colonialism has so thoroughly sucked all the air out of the room that anyone can make those claims.

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.

any dem stupid enough to fall for this shit needs to be primared out of office bsky.app/profile/greg...

wait, so Visa, Mastercard et. al can go after video game storefronts for six fucking months for having porn games but the moment X/Grok starts generating ACTUAL CHILD PORN they CHANGE THEIR POLICIES? dawg,

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This hit so fucking hard today.

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant
