Also, "woke" in the now-common white supremacist appropriated vernacular just means "I'm a bigoted and/or complacent piece of shit, and every reminder of the vastness of human diversity—up to and including simple basic acts of human decency—confront me with my moral failing, causing me to lash out."

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

You can fume at people on bluesky for being disillusioned with these guys but at some point you have to admit it's their behavior that causes poll results like this. The public correctly recognizes them as weenies

Chat, is it good that the new modern miracle that's going to change the world has become a slang term for awful garbage among the youth?

The most predictable thing ever happened. Don't say trans people didn't warn y'all. Another proud leopards eating faces party member.

still just stunned at how badly this all went for Trump * started completely unnecessary war by murdering a bunch of little girls * cemented hardline IRGC control of Iran and gave them the strait of hormuz * turbofucked the global energy market * accomplished literally none of his supposed goals

It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous

It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because you've seen the other shit this country spends tax money on. At least going to the moon is cool.

Could explain why an interpretation of a Supreme Court opinion is misleading, unfair, or uncharitable, but if the Court itself is dishonest and unfair, and has lost any possible entitlement to charity, why bother?

My "We don't allow bets on assassinations and murder" ad campaign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the ad campaign

Like maybe this is true. But it's also true of heroin

That’s because the New York Times is run by the fascist authoritarian Sulzberger Family. A hundred years ago they published lots and lots of fawning coverage of both Mussolini *and* Hitler. And then for Trumpism & Republican Fascism they’re doing the same thing. The Sulzbergers are on Team Evil.

earlier today The Husband wondered whether NYT's No Kings coverage was so bad that it would become counterproductive for them--like, propagandaing so hard that it's not credible/useful and makes people suspicious of what else they're mischaracterizing anyway,

CENTCOM told me Iran keeps hitting their high-value assets so I asked how many they have and they said they just go to the Pentagon and get new ones afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding high-value assets to the Iranians and then INDOPACOM started crying

not a big Hillary Clinton fan but the way the media is protecting the public from the details of Kash fucking Patel's personal emails is impossible to ignore

I saw some fool on here claiming the No Kings protest is performative theater that does more harm than good. If you’re gonna come around here with that, please block me first. There is no freedom without solidarity. Energy feeds energy. Protest doesn’t just change the landscape; it changes you.

You never really hear panicked stories about cops being exposed to fentanyl anymore. Almost like it was a completely fake crisis invented by law enforcement and perpetuated by the media while Biden was in office.

on some level, she was just a Melania movie in a different form—a terrible programming choice in the service of higher corporate priorities. but Bari and her followers, at least, thought she was more than that. and, well, here you go.

"We need a Joe Rogan of the left" [Hasan, an honest to god Joe Rogan of the left who also happens to know what he's talking about most of the time, exists] "Democrats need to steer clear of Hasan."

"We used an AI to do this" is increasingly a way of saying, "We didn't want to do this in the first place and we don't care if it's done well." 21/

I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!" but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question

okay, Ill bite. What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

Guy who's paid to be really into sonic the hedgehog: The Democrats lost because they didn't talk enough about sonic the hedgehog

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

this is so ghoulish and disgusting

One thing about Jamelle is that he absolutely drives a lot of his peers crazy because he’s better at his job than they are at theirs. I think the reasons for that are not hard to figure out.

This I regularly feel like the meme goose screaming “what’s the winning FOR?!”

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

happy 10-year anniversary to this razor-sharp political prognostication

this is good. underrated problem with popularism: it is--openly and explicitly--a pathetic, wimpy school of thought www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

With this salvo, Kansas has escalated what will be a federal effort to establish a Jim Crow system of lawfully enforced second-class citizenship aimed at trans American It was already the case but now it's inarguable; anyone who doesn't fully support trans people is an enemy of all civil rights.

A transphobe with *any* good in them should be fucking horrified at who they were manipulated by, but nope. They’re in too deep to reexamine themselves. They shouldn’t be allowed to forget though. Gendercritters serve a pedophile ring. That is what they do - knowingly, now.

It really needs to be reiterate in these plain terms. The grift is on the table, the rise in anti-trans panic is easily traced back, and yet the attacks on us haven’t missed a single beat. No pause. No reflection. They just continue doing what the perverts told them to do.

If you had any questions about how racism, ableism, sexism transphobia are the underpinning of this country you shouldn’t have them anymore And if you are doing anything but planning how to protect and repair the people who warned you You don’t actually want to win

This is an incredibly important piece of writing.

I think the New York Times has become a psychology experiment in which they see how many times they can poke their remaining subscribers in the eye before they finally walk away

the only thing that separates gavin newsom and republicans at this point is the party registration and yet so many libs will yell at minorities for daring to point that out it's almost like american liberals care infinitely more about aesthetics than the people they claim to be "allies" for

This. It is utter bullshit.

Hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software, Persona. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet, and that was just the beginning. www.therage.co/persona-age-...

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

The Talmud is very clear on this. The rabbis considered the trolley problem long before it was known as such. If you’re in a position where you have to make that kind of choice you attack the person demanding it.

I'm taking the liberty to repost these images with alt text. The key thing is for voters in Chicago & Illinois to be leery of the dark money PACs named "Elect Chicago Women" and "Affordable Chicago Now!" They appear to be front organizations for AIPAC.

maybe no time travelers showed up to hawking's time travel party because everyone in the future knew about his ties to epstein
