They actually coulda had it all. Nazis 2. Jan 19, 2025 shit looked bad. The damage RFK has done to the world with relatively less damage to his reputation shows the way it couldve But they chose a 4chan Nazi to run PR, let King Leer do tariffs and have shown no capacity of internal organization

Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

trying not to let it phase me as much anymore because, like, c'mon dude; if your first guess is he/him, seeing me like this, you're the one being ridiculous.

happy festivus 💈

being attractive but clocky in public is always such a strange experience, some people being really nice or even flirty, and others calling me sir or being really rude.

Official data is in today, and US solar continues to grow rapidly, with generation up 21% compared to last year!

[Scherer had extensive access to Kennedy and his top deputies at HHS for the profile, including Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary, and Mehmet Oz––all of whom were bonded by the experience of COVID “in a fellowship of the ostracized.”] They were ostracized for GOOD REASON.

my feelings exactly. "in science" my ass. he's a fucking lawyer that doesn't know shit about science, with a deranged lust for mass-murdering people with disabilities.

i have seen this error made enough times that I have to ask if people know that the thing that slows your car down is spelled "brake"

one of the most valuable skills in the modern information environment is the ability to absolutely loathe people without altering any of your opinions to more directly oppose them

DHS needs to get nuked from orbit

happy to wish folks a merry christmas or hanukkah sameach, but i'm an atheist first, and these olive branches are meant only for people of faith who can respect boundaries.

Biases as a trans person aside, I think at some point we need to make a stand simply because Republican affirmative action becoming the norm will make it functionally impossible to teach.

doubling everyone's health insurance bill for christmas is unfortunately indicative of what's coming. even putting aside the depravity & violence, i can't imagine people continuing to tolerate higher prices & higher taxes while he brags about stealing our money & building monuments to himself.

becoming more woke (refilling my coffee)

the most notable thing JD Vance has done in the last five years is tell vicious racist lies about immigrants. If you think he hasn't taken a side on bigotry, you are an idiot. He's for it. He's very strongly for it.

Zionism is an ideology of genocide. It isn't genocidal in a special or unique way, but it is genocidal nonetheless. There are people who describe less objectionable positions and call those Zionism, but those usages don’t, IMO, reflect the consensus understanding of the term by any side.

It's very resistlib of me but my god it is just absolutely impossible to get me to care about fucking James Cameron Avatar discourse while the state is dragging people from their homes in the middle of the night and shipping them of to torture camps Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Copyright is about corporate power, repression of information and maintenance of culture monopolies and everyone who thinks it's going to protect them has been sold a bill of goods

it’s kinda depressing how every trans person knows that the TA was specifically targeted for being trans and most cis people will never hear about it because most news at most mention that she is trans in passing

If you're constantly getting into arguments with unreasonable people where you defend increasingly extreme positions you got negatively polarized into, and you're not having fun doing it, you should simply stop. Rather than demanding the platform ban the people you're arguing with

posts that make you say “huh” and then sit there for a minute wondering how that came about

OH MY GOD THEY DID

we live in a parody of 1984, where our cyber panopticon police state is operated by the three stooges.

yes... ha ha ha... yes!

never talk to me, my son, or my son's son ever again

it would be very feasible in our lifetime to set up a system of universal basic income, funded by taxing profits of increasingly automated corporations. in the us we could repurpose the social security administration for this; all age groups getting checks in addition to seniors.

i appreciate men so much that aren't insecure about it. like, even my dad, who i have plenty of disagreements with, at least openly enjoys things, has flamboyant outfits, associates with women or queer folks without issue. it has no bearing on him being cishet, happily married to my mom for decades.

call me liberal or whatever but i was raised to believe government shall not respect an establishment of religion or prohibit the free exercise thereof or abridge our freedom of speech. people can live in whatever way gives them meaning at home or church, but have no right to impose that on others.

[man standing up meme] I do not think any one individual’s ”lived experience“ is ever relevant to whether a claim based on aggregate statistics is true

definitely; i am unmoved by arguments we should be artificially policed into inefficient ways of doing things, instead of tackling the systemic issues of capitalism. we need to develop new mechanisms for distributing wealth equitably in a world of fewer 'jobs' and more free expression.

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

People of every political persuasion from fascists to communists have decided that something I'm interested in and think is neat is actually a Culture War battleground and it sucks.

i will never waiver on my abolitionist stance wrt prisons, but i am deeply frustrated with the systematic lack of other sorts of accountability. way more people need to be expelled from institutions, fired from jobs, and banned from communities for engaging in negligent or violent behavior.

subscribed to this channel like a decade ago and for a while they stopped uploading videos, but loving that they're back. it's so delightful to hear machinery making music.

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

there's no such thing as a "heritage american" and brain-damaged constitutional law professors and members of the vox cinematic universe treating it with respect is bad, and they should be berated borders are fake, and america is what it is in the best sense due to periodically recognizing that
