I rediscovered Duck's Breath Mystery Theater today and it applies to software & AI. a) Was your product built by somebody who studied how to build it or better yet has built something like it before? b) Was it tested by someone who doesn't own stock in the company? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhjS...

I love these polls. I would be interested to see the polling on the usage of the Gulf of Mexico, since we're doing newspeak here.

People should stop calling it 'tactical gear', because fascists like that, and it suggests they actually use it for something. From now on, it should be referred to as 'Emotional Support Clothing'. #ICE #MAGA #FarRight

See this? This story is the sound of a bullet you didn’t even know was coming at you whistling past your right ear.

This is how "tech debt" happens.

Russia's disinformation campaign is now using deepfaked audio of Holocaust survivors to attack Armenia, in videos published on the 2nd anniversary of the Hamas October 7th attack on Israel.

STEPHEN MILLER: mark my words. terrorists will not reduce our great nation to ashes. we are ready, swords unsheathed, staring evil directly in the face as we reclaim what is rightfully ours [camera cuts to man dressed as Dino from the Flintstones spanking a giant teddy bear with a rainbow dildo]

If we pushed for this "unrealistic" stuff, even if we failed we'd get a lot better than we do now! Dems act like they've never heard of the Overton Window.

Re-animator (1985) is everything I had hoped it would be. I’m behind on horror films. Last year I was over 31 movies. This year I’m at number 3. I blame a certain political party and it’s billionaire owners for overstressing me horror.fandom.com/wiki/Re-Anim...

Scenes from #WarRavagedPortland It’s apocalyptic out there. Specifically, the sparsely populated post-rapture streets. The terrifying trees.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

They believe they will never be out of power and relatedly, even if they eventually are, there will be no accountability. Refusal to openly, credible, emphatically threaten them with it isn't just a failure on the principle of the matter for what should happen then. It worsens the situation now.

The government is shut down because of the last signature needed to release the epstein files.

RT @meadwaj.bsky.social Hilarious how quickly China has obliterated the “we can’t do anything about climate change because CHINA” argument adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

Miller oopsie doodled and said the quiet part out loud, talking about DT aka himself having “plenary authority”: A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations

AMD: Terrific. That will be $78 billion. How would you like to pay? OpenAI: Well, we were thinking that we would announce the deal, and that would add $78 billion to the value of your company, which should cover it. AMD: … OpenAI: …

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"In Portland, they're eating the quinces, the people who came in. They're eating the fuyu persimmons. They're eating--they're eating the produce of the people who live there."

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS "A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

Ah. Well, that will fuck the ENTIRE network of flights. Not just in the US either.

Dems in d- wait hang on.

Bird Trapped In Pete Hegseth's Hair, Treated With Mild Detergent And Released

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen

Incredible (via www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...)

There are plenty of hilarious things about Stephen Miller that have nothing to do with his height. The fact that he's afraid of Black people. That he hasn't emotionally matured because a Latina curved him for being a weirdo. That he looks like Dracula and Goebbels had a science baby.

Dolly rules and non parents probably won't know this, but she has a book club for little kids and she will just send them books for free. my kids have loved them. it's a good excuse to stop doing something and just hang out and read a book with them.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

2/ setting the pugilism aside, Trump is 79. he regularly says absurd things and things that didn't happen or conversations we know didn't take place. so we get what amounts to cognition 12 dimensional chess where we hear 'well in his heart he believed he wrestled bin laden and three lions.'

A FB friend of mine posted this about her aunt. I shared her quote here, there was more to her quote but I didn’t have room to fit it all in. It is now being reported by the media too. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Pakistan learns from its Gulf allies that for the right sums paid in hand (in undetectable Bitcoin, of course) you can secure whatever you like from the Trump administration. Including a new super port. www.ft.com/content/9f7c...

Oh SHIT. Two birds with one stone and neither were for immigration. It was to hassle black folk and make a sizzle real about it and to help Wells Fargo out. Fucking crazy shit.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats: “Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Everyone should stay home and let her pose on an empty street.

The Oregon Republican Party did this. The official Republican Party apparatus for the state of Oregon. Consequences when?

All of this 💯 There is no budget deal to be made until the unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis ends, & all of the lawless authoritarianism & illegal impoundment is ended & reversed. Otherwise, it’s just successful hostage taking.

Here’s the thing. There are actually really quite rigorously investigations of who the American people trust on news. CBS has been quite high on these lists for years. And these feelings are quite easy to track. What do you bet CBS will be trusted less in a year? today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Scoop, by @lorenzofb.bsky.social: A federal contract shows ICE spent $825,000 on vans equipped with fake cellphone towers known as cell-site simulators, which can be used to spy on nearby phones.

This is part of the great coverup of 1909 when the martians were angered and invaded earth. By 1917 europe was in ruins

I honestly can't imagine sitting in front of this thing for hours listening to the whine and clicky relays. Working in machine rooms sucked, and I did a lot of it.
