How To Think About AI: Is It The Tool, Or Are You? We live in a stupidly polarizing world where nuance is apparently not allowed. Everyone wants you to be for or against something—and nowhere is this more exhausting than with AI. There are those who insist that it’s all bad and there is nothing of…

Over the past three weeks, the "nightmare scenario" for November's midterms has grown more plausible www.vox.com/politics/478...

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

I think book reviews in print media are important but so many people make full time living reviewing books on social media. This is weird framing.

I kind of feel sorry for Jonathan Ross, the British TV host. I have a name similar to a MAGA scumbag too (Dan Bongino), and it stinks.

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

AIM are the good guys. If you see folks sporting this flag, you can relax knowing they're here to help us get ICE off our backs.

Guaranteed not to be reported in US media.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

I was puzzled for a moment about why DHS would release the phone footage from the murderer's point of view, since it clearly shows that the murderer was in no danger from the victim.

I think we are seeing that the government does believe it has the right to murder US citizens as it sees fit. If they didn’t, it’d be pretty simple to sacrifice this one agent and go back to kidnapping.

We need a Thundarr the Barbarian reboot.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

A group in San Diego has been patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed.

This thread made me laugh repeatedly.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Why the heck is the top story on CNN "gee, this jobs report from September sure is confusing"? You have to scroll way down to find a little bitty blurb about how the President just called for mass executions of the opposing party.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says: “The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops This story was originally published by ProPublica. Republished under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 license. When President Donald Trump told reporters on Sept. 5 he’d started looking at sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon,…

azhdarchid.com/against-metr... I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going. Here is a detailed list, via @mehdirhasan.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/factchecki...

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

Whenever someone says, in regards to politics, "we can't have a purity test for _____", what they are saying is "I don't give a shit about _____".

the kids are alright

Lindsey Halligan is no Pat Fitzgerald. The attempt to besmirch Fitzgerald’s reputation was a cheap shot, and one that will undoubtedly misfire. She’s no match for what she’s up against—the rule of law & lawyers who care about it.

My five favorite signs from the Florida protest I went to: - Honk if you're not in the Epstein Files - Orange Lies Matter - No Kings, Only Queens [rainbow] - You're Out of Your Element, Donny - Don't Cherry Pick the Constitution the Way You Do the Bible

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This isn't true. I'm the person who ran the experiments this is BSing about. When search results are worse, people attempt fewer tasks. When they're better they attempt more.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Hey everyone I found the antisemites

A well-oiled machine 🫠

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
