the wildest part of the ANTM doc on netflix is that there was enough Shit that happened that after the doc was over i turned to my husband and said "they left a lot of stuff out"

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Bro you have no idea how heroin works, come back to me when you’ve tried heroin before we have a discussion of if it’s bad or not.

The proper terminology is “Mr. Client, do you have the question and my admonition in mind?”

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

I'm love them

the only thing stronger than fishtopher's chomps is lover's love

I don’t think anyone should have to even listen to this take from Vance while the Trump administration is litigating to end birthright citizenship, notwithstanding the clear text of the constitution.

"The questions leftists ask about AI are: does this improve my life? Does this improve my livelihood? So far, the answer for everyone who doesn’t stand to get rich off AI is no."

swordfighting tactics, germany, 16th century

it's so funny to try to legitimize a moronic argument by claiming that it is supported by a growing movement of diverse thinkers and then you list the people who belong to that movement and every single one is stupid and/or racist

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

John Roberts has somehow created a regal impunity, in a republic nonetheless influenced by British common law, stronger than that enjoyed by the British royals themselves. In-f’ing-credible.

3000-word “X” post breathlessly explaining how everyone’s lives are about to change forever now that all of Silicon Valley can play chess against a Turkish automaton

Finally, a place where I can watch Colbert interviews of political candidates

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

oh you think white people don't have culture? what about this sickly family of incestuous warlords from a book i didn't read?

it’s so funny how many liberal pundits claimed this guy was the future of the democratic party lol

So Trump, and not the "anonymous staffer," actually did post the Obamas/apes video?

"why are you against progress" I yell confidently as my sloppily-implemented algorithms prematurely murder your grandma

the idea that leftists are sticks-in-the-mud who are skeptical of generative AI for no good reason is infuriating. the context here is a years-long campaign on all fronts to force people to start using gen AI, whether it did anything useful or not.

We’ve come full circle

Phil Gonzalez from CBS, welcome to the Verge’s background policy www.theverge.com/policy/88000...

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

I just wrote a book about antifa! Its real! It’s not org w/ leadership tho - it’s a non-hierarchical, decentralized, underground network of leftists dedicated to destroying far right “by any means necessary” and the story of antifa in America is extraordinary www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

they're calling it the most washed PAC of all time

Just like the narratives around trans rights and racial justice, this framing constructs "activists" as unreasonable, radical and holding all the power. "Do you know how mean fat activists are if you lose weight?" Do you know how mean everyone else is if you don't?!

Everyone who worked at this camp should go to prison.

Louisiana is down with the sickness.

there’s a whole different America out there posting on Threads

Jackson's role in gradually shifting the left-liberal consensus on Palestine is pretty underrated.

DSA did endorse him in 1988— and received a lot of internal pushback because Jackson was too pro Palestine lol

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

i think we probably have to stop calling middle aged women who don't like the president "wine moms"

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

the median reporter or editor makes $60,000 a year, which makes them slightly below the average U.S. income. www.bls.gov/ooh/media-an...

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Elimination of emissions standards was one of the pretty clear policy stakes of the 2024 election and it received about 1% as much coverage as whether Tim Walz retiring from the national guard after 21 years was cowardly.

i simply do not think the "2016 and 2024 prove america will never elect a woman" people in the QTs are expressing a savvy political wisdom as much as they are expressing cope

From Hamdan Ballal, co-director of last year’s Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land.” This is happening now.

I do not get the sense that they agree on this

Propaganda during WWI and WWII in fact
