me, age 15: conservatism seems like a fundamentally evil belief system me, age 21: actually it is more complicated than that, things are very complicated and everyone has their own way of seeing things. i am very smart me, age 3x: no i was right the first time nvm

"What does it mean to “fund Antifa,” given that “Antifa” is not an actual organization? As ever, it’s whatever Donald Trump’s Justice Department wants it to mean—which feels like the whole point." www.thebulwark.com/p/yeah-its-f...

Man, if only someone had tried to warn you. Gee golly.

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Democrats need to begin with the truth: "My opponents' intent is destruction of the public good and theft and murder of the people who live here, which poisons even the few facts they get right; therefore, there's no point in finding common ground; we should seek only to oppose and defeat them."

They may not want a civil war but they are asking for one.

I emailed my reluctant Trump-voter brother last night about life generalities, but closed with asking if the takeover of DC, the creation of a national military force to quell dissent, and the attempted hijacking of the Smithsonian had caused any remorse. He ignored the question entirely. Odd.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social ...this is like American Nazi shit, right?

So, I am no expert on flying an Air India 787, or any airplane actually, but I just talked with ChatGPT, and...

The rate of calls for "lethal force" to be used against American citizens by MAGA aligned Israeli-Russian troll farms has significantly escalated in the last 48 hours. This is a significant escalation by the MAGA ecosphere as their call for violence extends nationwide.

We're gonna have to start saying "Uncle Clarence" instead of "Uncle Tom."

"Quick, think of a big number that sounds official!" "Drat, overshot the target!"

ICE tasered a man at a Walmart in NM! His screams are heartbreaking! Has Walmart acknowledged this unconscionable act in their store? And why was the woman recording this video asked to leave but not the masked attackers in Aisle H26?!

The United States Federal government is now actively working against the well being of its citizens. What a time to be alive. Where does it end? My guess is probably with violence, in one direction or the other.

Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas Fire her. Blood on her hands.

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought. Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too. What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

the vibes: they're not great chat

See, it's not the Gestapo, it's just a "new national police force." Rather like the Gestapo, but not.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

🤡

Guys, if you call #CarShield and tell them "Ice sent you." they won't rip you off or screw you over.

he doesn’t seem all that concerned with combatting antisemitism, given all the open antisemitism that comes out of his talk-hole

We’re approaching the show trial stage of authoritarian takeover

Wait until people find out about that time that Elon Musk gave TWO Nazi salutes in the space of 5 seconds.

We finally got here

There's something missing in this post from Alabama, but what could it be?

Good news! They will keep a "voice-ordering solution for drive-thru." Maybe it should be, oh, I don't know... one person talking to another person? Asking clarifying questions? Agreeing on a final decision? www.theguardian.com/business/art...

We know why the Epstein list suddenly doesn't exist. It's because one orange felon's name shows up on it, likely multiple times.

With this Supreme Court, what is left to save freedom other than peaceful dissolution of the Union or civil war? Because I'm not seeing it other options other than living under a Putin-like tyranny, which - well - just won't work for me, sorry.

Fuck Ted Cruz.

Y'all, I'm past middle age and even I cringe when I hear someone in my age group say they are "just chillaxin'."

Serious question: what did old people do before the internet allowed us to share long ago memories? Did we just talk to the wall and tell it about the past? Did it really even listen or care?

Tonight's dinner recipe: www.veganricha.com/ethiopian-sp... We are eating a ton of spicy peppers and brown rice these days with my latest recipe kick. It, uh, keeps us quite regular based on feedback from the fam.

Maybe it's time to move to Vermont.

Is he dead yet? (Note: I have three, maybe four, people in mind.)

April 11: “The phones are ringing off the hook.” July 6: “Many of these countries never even contacted us.” @atrupar.com

OK, folks, I just fucking give up. We had a good run.

Made this for family dinner tonight. I used whole grain spaghetti, and generally guessed at proportions of other ingredients. Tasty stuff. www.seriouseats.com/pesto-pasta-... #cooking

Talked to my Trump/FoxNews/right-wing radio bubble dad today. He brought up that "crazy guy in NY" who wants "the government to own all the supermarkets." Wut? I explained the benefits of opening stores in food deserts where market forces have failed (because, well, they do). (continued)

Whoever did this wins the internet today.🏆

When will people learn: EVERYONE is on the list. Sure, Trans people, gay people, and immigrants are at the top. Intellectuals and dissidents are next, but everyone is somewhere on the list. And, given time, they will get to you. No one is pure enough because they will just keep raising the bar.

America, this could be us, but fully 1/3 of you are fucking filthy fascists. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL46...

I hate them all. Every last one of them.
