You hate to see it.

Oh, also, apparently »The Boy in the Stepped Pajamas« is a powerful allegory for the denialism that Boyne has that his book is any good.

Minutes into a @bigjoel.bsky.social video on The Babylon Bee, and, “none of them has been able to answer”? Even my Bluesky client is blue underlining “has” because it's “none have”, how did it ever get through the editorial process with “has”? Like. everything else, but, how “has”?

had no idea people migrating illegally to the us were bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars with them and buying houses

Jfc at least put on the fake handlebar mustache, complete the ridiculous dumbass bit. This whole administration is the dumbest group of villains imaginable

“I'm Mr… Snrub.”

Hegseth’s name card says “SSECRETARY OF WAR.” (sic) Either more of that egregious White House incompetence or just openly flaunting the whole SS thing now. Or both maybe.

JD Vance: "Why did homes get so unaffordable? Because we had 20 million illegal aliens in this country taking homes that ought by right go to American citizens."

I buy this head canon honestly.

The sole author here, Peter C. Gøtzsche, was expelled from the Cochrane Collaboration for his increasingly extremist screeds against drug company research, breast cancer screening & COVID & HPV vaccines. He started his "Institute for Scientific Freedom" to continue his fringe anti-vaccine views.

Matt Gaetz, James O’Keefe, and Laura Loomer have replaced the Pentagon press corps. I am not kidding. Look at the thread below. One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

Trump Announces 5,000% Increase In All Numbers https://theonion.com/trump-announces-5000-increase-in-all-numbers/

Immigration judges are not Article 3 judges, they are executive lackeys doing the President's will… … lest they be fired.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Monday fired at least seven immigration judges in New York City, according to a spokesperson for the National Association of Immigration Judges and a review of a U.S. Department of Justice staff directory.

Trump claims he's slashing drugs prices by "200 percent, 300 percent, 400 percent, 500 percent, 600 percent, 700 percent, 800 percent. Nobody has ever heard of it before."

Silly me. I thought it was a dictionary entry.

Calling it embarrassing is generous. The country deserves a proper Defense Secretary, not a grown man LARPing as one.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military. They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Whelp, it was great having the US President the leader of the free world. Next up, the US President is the leader of the authoritarian world. Like, Nikita Chruschtschow was.

It was not—in fact—hard at all. I was suffering from cognitive impairment (constantly felt buzzed), and I ended up memorizing the test. These people just lie because they don't care about the truth, and they know they can just lie their way out of problems.

Most STDs are actually blood-borne pathogens! That's why we vaccinate babies, even if in adults, it's most often spread through sex.

“There's never a scandal.” MY SIBLING IN CHRIST, your Presidencies have been reliable pushing out nearly a scandal every single day. There's a second reason why 2021–2025 seem like they disappeared in a blink. Barely anything was happening!

Trump: "I should get the Nobel Prize"

Still seething over a YouTuber making a burrito with rice to represent New Mexican food, and then hating it… Like, first of all, if you don't like rice in burritos then when making your own, don't put rice in them. Burritos are flexible like that. Second, we don't even put rice in our burritos!!!

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

I literally took the cognitive exam when I was in a situation of cognitive impairment. I kept going in because I felt buzzed/drunk and/or low blood sugar (cognitively, they feel the same), but was definitively neither. Eventually, I memorized the test, and they still had no answers.

If we tell them it's a flood zone or likely to burn down in wildfires, it hurts sales 🤪

Apple AI chief steps down amid Siri struggles

Crypto Leaders Call For Infusion Of 20 Million Dopes To Stabilize Market

OK, internet, from a pretty awesome discussion with someone who has a different view than me, have a question. Is the following hypothetical bullying: Someone on my block rants to his Facebook friends every Saturday about how he hates seeing the damn kike walking to synagogue Please comment

We can't really say this enough... > Anastasia Berg [at UCL Irvine] said that new research — and what she's hearing directly from colleagues across various industries — shows that employees who heavily rely on AI are losing core skills at a startling rate. www.businessinsider.com/ai-tools-are...

Unicode normalization.

lol. lmao even

one of the things dr schake and i were both wrestling with in this conversation--i think not really conclusively--is how you maintain the norm of civilian supremacy when the civilians are issuing objectively illegal, murderous orders

The core problem is that in a state, something has to be sovereign - in a democracy, it is the people - and you can design and tinker as much as you like but there is no way to design around a loss of virtue in that sovereign entity. If the people keep elected maniacs, no guardrails can hold.

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about.

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about.

"Anti-woke" is just seeking license to be an asshole.

Lol yes people in history have had MRIs they don't know what they're for - people whose brains are mushy enough they don't know what's happening

Fighting linguistic prescriptivism one reader at a time 💪🏼 open.substack.com/pub/linguist...

Kevin Hassett: "Turkey prices were down 19 cents. I bought two different ones because some other show was criticizing me because I said, 'Oh, generic turkeys are pretty good.' So I made two this time and I didn't really notice the difference, so buy the cheaper turkey next year, folks."

Ex-official explained this in a way that will stick with me forever: Within fire departments, the EMTs are overworked and underpaid and don’t have time to advocate for policy. The fire chiefs, on the other hand, have a lot more time on their hands. So fire response, not medical, dictates policy.

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle

WELKER: His asylum was approved in April on Trump's watch. Was there a vetting process in place? NOEM: The vetting process all happened under Biden WELKER: Are you saying he wasn't vetted? NOEM: Vetting happens when they come into the country and that was completely abandoned under Biden

Honestly can't tell if she meant "prosecute" or she's just embraced the full fascist experience.

The psychology of this website is so transparent. They're not attacking progressive media (who don't give a shit) so much as they're naming access bootlickers who already often cater to the WH anyway — because they’ll actually freak out and change their coverage *even more.* Just working the refs.

Problem: you have two left wing parties in British politics. Solution: start a new left wing party to unify the movement Problem: you now have four left wing parties in British politics

Effective Altruism inevitably operates as a kind of fascist cult: it is a mode of thinking that liberates its followers from any direct moral responsibility for their actions.

And one more other thing I’m seeing now, that Northwestern unsurprisingly didn’t mention in its statement, effectively banning gender affirming care at NU school of medicine
