It’s weird noticing even the people who seem to be deriving maximum benefit from genAI are ALSO miserable from it. I haven’t had a job in a year because it’s destroyed my career and livelihood, meanwhile the people who should be profiting from it can’t unplug long enough to watch a movie anymore

What an awful way to live.

Police lie. All the time. In paperwork. To prosecutors. To the media. On the stand while testifying under oath. And even when in the very rare case their lies are exposed, they get to keep lying with few if any consequences. This pattern isn’t just limited to ICE.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

[watching my profession lose the public's trust after its most prominent practitioners spent a decade contorting themselves to flatter fascists destroying our country] god our reporting was just too hard hitting and good, the world wasnt ready :(

“lets hold ICE to the same standard we hold police”

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

what's done cannot be undone but it can be avenged

mods on vacation. time to deep fry a turkey inside the house

between Elon Musk's total control of Tesla and his deep passion for white supremacy, shouldn't the baseline assumption be that ICE/CBP is being given carte blanche access to any and all Tesla camera data?

I always say this—if any data or footage is collected anywhere, eventually police will come asking for it or someone will figure out a way to sell them access to it. This is also true of ICE.

there is perhaps no clearer example of the trolley problem

The Epstein Files' own Peter Thiel is going to handle Discord's age verification? Weird!

Weird how this keeps happening.

Life must be so easy if you just have absolutely no ethics, can you imagine

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft

idk how to rebuild society for this but i don't think people should be allowed to talk like this without it going very poorly for them

“You can’t ignore LLMs are good at code” sure but also Microsoft broke notepad this week.

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

Just going to note again, because somehow we've all completely retconned this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, that pound-for-pound Biden had one of the most draconian border security regimes of any U.S. president ever, second only to Trump, *many of whose policies he inherited and kept*

what year is it?

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

sigh

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

What the absolute fuck?

Like a baby knowing you won’t actually do anything substantive about this

all I’m focused on here is “elon musk,” “massive catapult” and “launch into space”

“I’ve mentioned before that concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933.”

These bitches eating CHICKEN

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

Republicans have told you nonstop over the last year that they like racism more than they like money, don't forget it

see how easy it is when they're not as rich and powerful? now keep going

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people. The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

San Francisco residents shocked, outraged that the conservative losers they elected to the school board for hating the school district have not, in fact, fixed the district's problems and has instead caused the district's first strike in 50 years

Immigrants and POC in warehouses. Veterans in sheds. Trump is building himself a ballroom.

The ‘abolish ICE’ door is cracked open and every one of us needs to push and keep pushing. “Liam’s father, Adrian Conejo Arias, said the family was in hiding. He cited a bomb threat at his son’s former elementary school and ICE agents patrolling the Columbia Heights home they no longer live in.”

every single person writing credulously about "elon will put people on the moon" should have to pin this post to their monitor

Decrying trans people calling out transphobia in your political party in an effort to build unity isn’t something that I would say is very unifying.

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.
