While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Being in tech and having a single modicum of critical thinking is just screaming "this isn't what LLMs are designed for" over and over as people shove a bunch of word predictors into critical decision making processes because some glorified used car salesmen told them it would fix all their problems

I’m sorry, it’s time to start talking about the establishment of a Second American Republic. The first one has been hijacked and broken by pervs, thieves, thugs, religious whack-jobs and obscenely rich assholes

Exactly. Once they admit he’s done one bad thing, there can be no stopping point, as he’s a bottomless pit of moral depravity. And once they step on that slippery slope, they can’t escape their own culpability. So instead they look away, and lie to others—and to themselves.

Imagine how shitty you have to be to be 20 points less popular than openly fascist criminals who are sending secret police to kidnap people to concentration camps in broad daylight. It honestly takes effort to be this useless.

Every day is a new embarrassment www.espn.com/espn/story/_...

It fucking sucks to be living here right now but not really have anywhere viable to go. Really should have married a Canadian.

1966 Batman was the best Batman.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

I’ve read a lot of history about Europe in the 30s w focus on the Spanish Civil War. MAGA is full-on fascist; the real malignant deal. If you think ICE is only going to go after criminal immigrants, I’ve got some disturbing news for you 5/

too bad how, for five pandemic years, people have received expert-level training in how to fabricate a sense of normal as their world deteriorates

Not joking about this at all: if someone thinks it's appropriate to be cruel about young children drowning in a flash flood because it happened in a red state, they should not be allowed indoors. They should be out in the forest burying their own scat

I have no skin in the game obviously, but c'mon New York - don't rank the sex pest. The mind boggles that this isn't obvious to literally everyone.

My vision is that everyone in this administration is wearing a wearable within four years.

Struggling to see why selling public lands is a bad idea? Here's a prime example that I visited just a few days ago: 1) Nice, close up view of a native pictograph panel on public land 2) Another panel, across the street, fenced off and demanding payment to view up close, even for research

The one good thing about these idiots trying to hasten the climate apocalypse is that it might be the reason that other countries finally make us a pariah (at best) and hopefully speeds up the inevitable collapse of the fascist regime.

the epa says it's giving up on regulating emissions from power plants just days after noaa released the highest-ever recorded seasonal co2 concentrations at mauna loa. what a time to be alive!!!!!!!!!

You and your children will breathe more air pollution because of this action. People will have more asthma attacks. People will have more heart attacks. All while climate impacts accelerate.

I understand radio isn't quite the media powerhouse it once was, but you'd still think they'd try to find someone who doesn't sound like he's on his deathbed to do color for the NBA Finals.

If the Ku Klux Klan had at some point taken over the entire executive branch I think it would have looked functionally identical to what we've seen over the past six months

We don't really have a free or functioning press if they are required to pretend not to know conclusively that Stephen Miller is an avowed white supremacist

I cannot emphasize enough how many people don’t actually know/refuse to know what’s going on (“don’t care about politics”), and they won’t care until something happens to force them to connect politics to their lives. But by then it will probably be too late to salvage what’s left of the Republic.

Silence = Death #EndClimateSilence www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but the fact that 30-40% of people are still on board with all this is incredibly disheartening. There is no bottom for these people, and even if we somehow don't fall into full force fascism (unlikely), I don't see how you assimilate them into the real world.

I mean honestly, why is the Democratic Party not shutting down Washington and calling for the arrest of the entire administration at this point? There's nothing to say, other than they are completely 100% complicit in the fascist movement here. Actions speak louder than words & there is no action.

Genuinely curious why they haven't just refused this order. The president has zero authority to control the California guard. There isn't an "insurrection" just because he says there is.

Well this is horrifying

MAGA never sounds more like Hitler’s Nazis than when they talk about art, science and history Word for word

You’re a billionaire, why don’t you buy it and make it perfect for us, get some real Nazi thought leaders to make it a richer experience Who in their right mind feels like they “haven’t heard from the other side,” god forbid we don’t hear from them for 10 goddamn minutes

This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

You *must* swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.

This feels like when the rubber really hits the road now. The fascism is out in the open and happily using force under contrived circumstances. May someone, something have mercy on us all.

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

JUST IN: University of Utah Health announces that Robert Jarvik, the inventor of the Jarvik-7 (the first permanent artificial heart installed in a human) has died at age 79. #Utah

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

So I say again, why the fuck are any of us still working or going to school or following the rules at all? We should be bringing this abortion of maladministration to a halt with a general strike. If they don’t have to earn their keep, then we shouldn’t keep doing our parts either.

“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success.”

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Just found out they're doing a Magic the Gathering Final Fantasy set, and the Palom & Porom erasure is OUTRAGEOUS.

If you're curious, over on "ecks" they're having a great time declaring that courts don't have review power over executive orders, and in fact, all courts except the Supreme Court are unconstitutional. Not a fascist cesspool at all.

The worst people on Earth coming together to make everything worse for everyone

Happy Pride month

The guy Gov Cox tapped to build a Utah nuclear reactor is a high school dropout who apparently knows his Bible stories

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket
