@radleybalko.bsky.social @gregdoucette.bsky.social No big deal, right? Just a few hundred innocent people may have been convicted with falsified evidence.

If we could get the Ceaușescu ending... 🙏

I’m so mad. I realized today I do not, in fact, align with the Dark Side. I am purely Yoda-coded. I just want to live in a swamp and hit people with sticks if they find me.

My number one requirement for Dems: do they know who the real enemy is.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

RIP to a legend ▫️Survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki ▫️Pioneered drag culture in Japan and was one of the first openly gay celebrities there ▫️Had a relationship with Yukio Mishima and became his muse ▫️Delighted Hayao Miyazaki in the recording booth for Princess Mononoke #voiceacting

I want “we will be reviewing and cancelling every government contract issued to a business associated with the family of any member of this Administration, followed by a top down review of all such deals that might involve any members of Congress” in every candidates speech.

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

this child is literally a wizard, this is incredible

One of my favorite Chef John YouTube videos is for homemade ketchup because at the end he’s like was it worth it? No. Does it taste better? No. But was it fun to make? No. Should you do this? I’m not the boss of you but no.

When I think about the countless pieces over things like “racism being frowned up on campus is a free speech issue” and now I watch the literal US government go after individuals everywhere for their speech I get completely furious and will never forgive these Harper’s assholes.

Don't use AI then you fucks

The right: actual demons are persecuting us, we need to impregnate as many teenage girls as we can about this demonic threat Normal people: what the fuck Centrist dems: give us between $5 and $50 to find the middle position between you and my esteemed colleague on the other side of the aisle.

the feds have done more to harass americans angry over good and pretti’s killings than they have to investigate them

New York, 1970. Gay Liberation Front Protest.

Welcome to the Great American State Fair

An excellent use case for why people really need to be able to define “AI” and recognize it’s an umbrella term, not a synonym for heavyweight commercial LLMs/frontier models.

if we thread the needle on oil inventories until after the midterms ill scream

Literally manifesting a united front against the will of their own constiuency with a swiftness and vigor they could not muster to even feign resistance to open fascism

These people are performing for grass.

Hollywood has *always* run on the exploitation of unpaid labour and misery (casting couches, child/animal abuse, interns working 20 hour shifts) The use of genAI is theft. It’s theft from the creatives that CEOs want to replace because it pads their bottom lines. kotaku.com/a24s-bad-exc...

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

Anyway, why point this out? 1. They've always blamed the left for losses. It's been going on forever. 2. Don't let it stop you.

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

It would have been epic

problem solved; I remembered that I have this one

Illegal gambling sites. Illegal cab companies. Illegal hotels. Crypto for criminals. “Full Self-Driving.” The wholesale theft of billions of copyrighted works for AI. Surveillance capitalism. Automated price-fixing. Election rigging via media manipulation. Big Tech is organized crime.

Big Tech is organized crime. Most people won’t engage with that statement. They don’t want to confront what it means — how huge the problem is and how hard it will be to fix. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. Big Tech is organized crime.

Well, fuck.

Today is a good day to remember that authoritarianism is not inevitable, overthrowing fascists is possible, and good things can still happen. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

Today I was discussing Executive Dysfunction with some folks, and how in our household we call it "The Sits" I decided to make an info poster. It's based on my personal experience with it. Yes, the person is me 😆 #neurodivergent #memes #executivedysfunction

The Federalist Papers: Do Not Elect An Unvirtuous Dirtbag America: We have successfully elected the Unvirtuous Dirtbag from the famed essay series "Do Not Elect An Unvirtuous Dirtbag"

“An Epic Research study published on Friday analyzing electronic health records found that gambling disorder diagnoses have risen more than 60 percent since 2018 in states that have legalized sports betting. The largest increase came from young people, aged 18 to 29, whose rate more than doubled.”

If you’re self identifying as a Democrat but saying with a straight face that DSA members hate America and the job of Dems is to support free marketism, you can just march your ass over to the GOP and be done with it

As convention season gets underway, a reminder that we have an ongoing masking initiative pushing to make all comic events safer for all of us! 🧵1/3 ( art by @orchiscribbles.bsky.social )

so… (1) north carolina declines to pay to put up state booth at trump “state fair”. + (2) random republican congressional staffer does state booth instead = (3) cue the “confederate flag at north carolina booth” headlines… www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Genuinely fucking wild to me that the response to the fact that when women have total independence they often choose to be happily alone because they don't want to be treated like Bangmaid Mommy, and the response is not "Should I be a better person?" but "let's remove rights from women."

has caused so much trouble. If we had forced them to stick with “Large Language Model” as the terminology for this tech, do you think states and counties would be bending over so hard to allow them to build data centers everywhere? No, probably not. Be precise about your wording about this crap.

AI has not made any discoveries. Iterative AI models have helped *scientists* make discoveries. No version of LLM (generative or iterative) is autonomous and working under its own direction. Being imprecise with language and allowing AI grifters to co-opt the term “A.I.” in the first place

Shareholders.

Those alt gov accounts that arose after 2016 are grifters. One of the top posts yesterday was @altnoaa.bsky.social posting an AI image of a beluga whale "escaping captivity to reunite with her baby." In response to being told it was AI, the poster said AI is good, actually, for evoking emotions.

This is what the World Cup is about. More of this please and a lot less fascism.

IMHO, the Supreme Court is a *bigger* problem than Trump, and it should be the primary target for reform. Trump and Congress would both be very different under a law-abiding SCOTUS, which would have stopped government action clearly animated by racism and racially gerrymandered districts.

The same people who build, improve and breathe life into our country are the ones we are always trying to keep out. A nation of immigrants filled with fear, hate and ultimately, self-loathing.

I hate seeing men get scammed like this. Put that money towards therapy and getting a hobby. Therapy will help you be more at peace and the hobby will bring you friends.
