MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

If this goes through, we are officially at 1933

if I catch A SINGLE ONE OF YOU doing this to our trans friends in Kansas, I will fucking wreck you. the politicians doing this to Kansas are evil. the people it is being done to deserve support and help and to not have to deal with your sadistic little jokes. grow a fucking soul.

“the president’s speech is going to be over two hours long!” they’re doing kalshi shit guys. they’re leaking a bunch of stuff about a super long speech and he’ll go about 2 minutes short of the supposed mark and everyone in the white house will make $200k on it

I know it’s kind of a trite or whatever, but god I really hate this guy

I think almost every video editor uses AI in their work today, but when people hear that they think we're using Sora to generate complete videos for us, when what we're mostly doing is having "AI" make interview transcripts

Very important the cops respond to a planned snowball fight--however, what happened next is both unprecedented and beyond the pale.

Trying to explain the current Amerikan political moment to an Amerikan: imagine if they let the Hamburglar run McDolands

Oh boy lmfao

for those who don’t know, being hamfisted like this is basically the only way you can preserve your message through via local media. They will cut it all out every time. I have seen it happen half a dozen times in the 3 months I have been organizing, they will edit you into saying both sides.

People who legitimately believe in AGI erupting out of LLMs are betting on capitalism resolving its contradictions by the Demiurge being private property and paying out dividends

It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

it’s even better on video, this is art

they need to import this to the Stanley Cup playoffs, watching hockey players be handed stuffed animals while they seethe is the new funniest thing in the world

The absolute range of Canadian gentility on display

Me this morning: WOO HOO USA GOLD! Me now: Canadians, if you'd like to burn down the White House again, I won't stop you.

You know, it would be nice to just have fun and enjoy this win without being reminded that my country is run by Epic Bacon Memelord Pedophiles and Fascists. I would like it if American athletes doing well didn’t mean enduring a bunch of soyfacing from the fucking White House.

big glass of water i brought to Arrakis immediately spilling everywhere when the ornithopter turns on

This is considered rude in Japan

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

What a terrible article. People like Emily Bender and Cory Doctorow have explained in detail and in many places why they reject the outlandish claims of AI proponents and this article frames that as a refusal to engage "seriously." Come on.

if you live in the core of the empire, fascism actually is distinct from neoliberalism, and it's not helpful to anybody of the left to flatten such distinctions. I'm really tied of this routine of flattening distinctions ~leftistly~. Read a god damn book

Thank you for sharing this

Hey everyone, so my girlfriend just got in a car accident. Luckily she’s ok, but we share a car which is now totaled. She needed to door dash to cover some bills we have coming up, and now isn’t able. If you’re willing to throw us a few bucks, my Venmo is @ Josiah-Sutton. Thanks.

It seems like the NBA All-Star game was actually awesome last night but TBH I am just excited they are gonna stop playing the NBA All-Star Game ad where a guy sings "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" but with NBA player nmaes

Is that good

Top to bottom, an incredible image

Can’t believe we are still doing this

This is one of the bleakest things I’ve ever read. I genuinely don’t think life is worth living if it begins to look like this.

The John Wick series is so effective because it fully embodies the three major tenets of dumb guy fantasy: 1. being able to kick anyone’s ass, 2. living by a code of honor, and 3. paying for things with gold coins

i see some of my more libbed out friends on here repost this guy every once in a while which is crazy because like 80 percent of the stuff i see from him is shit like this.

Man it would be so cool to work a full time job I don’t actively hate. That’d be awesome.

Holy fuck, this is so sad

While we’re talking about it though, I think Kazakhstan gets the Carolinas now that Ilia fell

I think they should put territory on the line at the Olympics

Yea sure why not

I would be surprised if even this unhinged administration would attempt to open the Pandora's box of governance by palimpsest, but on the other hand...

I’m sorry but you can’t make me learn about this clavicular mogging shit or whatever. You’re not going to convince me it’s important. I have a lot going on right now

Being brought into the principal’s office and being shown that a bunch of 38 year olds on a website you’ve never been on approve of you punching a kid.

Everyone involved in this is going to spend years in prison before a one-way trip to Hell

NEW EPISODE OF FRUITLESS! On today's episode, Leo Dickenson and @gnomechamsky.bsky.social join me to discuss Operation Metro Surge and the fraud crisis that was used as pretext to occupy the Twin Cities. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

Yea sure why not
