i keep seeing people ask why the reporters in the room don't push back or defend their colleagues when trump insults them, & i hate to break it to you but they all love him. they think he is brilliant and want to kiss him

Post something random or you'll have an awful December

They want to be cool. They want the adulation that comes from mastering a skill AND becoming known for it but they don't actually want to master the skill because they might put in all that effort and just create art they're proud of with no praise.

Okay, I need the pope to stop being cool. I am having a hard time processing cool pope.

If you see this, post an anime you love

Hey, this isn't the web site where you get money for posting shit so dumb people feel compelled to make fun of it. That's the other one, the one run by a eugenicist who loves AI.

Introduce yourself with four space ships.

It is ironic. Many considered the messages to be largely performative but then Trump made a huge stink and now they're brave truth tellers for being less scummy than Pete Hegseth.

Rich doofus raised in unfathomable wealth thinks he's better than everyone. Shocking. We all know an RFK. We know enough not to wonder why they think they are right. They aren't. Entertaining the idea that they might be just wastes your time.

"You'll be visited by three spirits."

“You’ll be visited by three spirits”

I will add the following: our students lack the research skills required to audit an LLM essay for errors. They don’t arrive on campus with these skills; we teach it to them over four long years. So throwing freshmen in the deep end and saying “swim your way to a shore of rectitude” is folly.

Famous dislikers of capitalism, small business owners.

"There is a pervasive immaturity in tech culture [...] the obsession with sci-fi futures—asteroid mining, Mars colonies, AGI—is a form of escapism. It’s fundamentally unserious and distracts from addressing urgent societal issues." 👏🏻

Yeah she's resigning because she doesn't want to deal with losing the primary for 2026 but leaving herself room to reenter politics in a post-Trump era

How many times can you talk to Trump before it becomes obvious that he doesn't have any kind of plan, let alone a grand secret plan? Whatever the number is, it seems MTG hit it.

If you want to use an issue where states rights are good, are you suuuuuuuuuuuure abortion is the issue you wanna go with?

It's like a slippery slope into awesomeness. Seriously though. If you believe in representative democracy why wouldn't you want that representation to be as equitable as possible? What is served by having a legislative body where 600k people have as much power as 50 million people?

Man, it's really demoralizing to be oppressed by such cringe dorks.

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

Right wingers always complain about their views being "censored" but what they really mean is unpopular. Left wing "censorship" is people protesting their ideas which they are still allowed to present. Right wingers don't bother with that. They just ban certain thoughts outright.

I feel like we were all told the story of The Boy who cried Wolf and should be able to intuit why calling everyone Hamas might have negative results long term.

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

people keep saying ACA is the best we can do and i keep thinking they're intellectual frauds and moral cowards

Elon is trying to write himself as a Mary Sue in real life

If the president can just raise taxes and spend money without Congressional approval, the constitution is null and void.

I think it's undeniable that a lot of people enjoy using LLMs and other GenAI for various purposes. I even get it to an extent. There's a fun novelty to it as long as you're never asked to pay anything which is not something that can continue. Most people don't know the real effects.

Not entirely the point, but getting a bit exhausted of stories that are just, "Hey, you know that thing Trump did that we all saw but he insisted he didn't do even though yes of course he obviously did it. Turns out he really did that thing."

on behalf of the Daddy Issues Community, I’d like to request that we’re excluded from this narrative. that lady got some other stuff going on

@aaron.bsky.team Bluesky needs to do better. You won't see this thread, or if you do, chances are you won't care or will think I'm just being petty and ridiculous. I've been here since before you were appointed though and I want this place to be BETTER. I want marginalised folks to be safe.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy...

We really need to know less about each other.

Find the period, girl. Sentence gotta end sometime.

I have a weird pet theory that her time working with Trump has convinced her he isn't the savior who will expose the deep state but she could be. Far more likely that she just sees which way the wind is blowing, but at some point the illusion has to adjust.

Obviously Kat is gonna be polite but this is just so truly mean. Basically a faux nice "have fun in prison". Again, no shade on how it was handled but what a disgusting person.

Do you watch action movies? Would you like to be shot at? Okay then everyone should be able to grasp that fantasies are not wishes.

hey I think maybe someone needs to say out loud that actually sucking another man’s dick is literally fine whereas raping children is instant death, like are we maybe not doing this one *just right*?

I'm not trying to be mean, but racists who believe Trump betrayed them by being a child molester are not going to embrace the Democratic Party without forcing that party to embrace racism. And the people gained would in no way make up for those lost.

I see no path forward between what people are saying they want and the Democratic party as currently constituted. No path.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

For what feels like forever, we've been addressing Republican dog whistles. Democrats have always tried to placate Republican concerns about immigrant crime. Turns out, the crime is being an immigrant. Always was. Immigration. Crime. Economic anxiety. All euphemisms for fucking over minorities.

Never mind that a lot of them are rich specifically because of where they live. Are all the stock brokers in NY gonna open up investment firms in Tennessee? Rich in the fashion industry? Yeah, you aren't gonna be leaving for Alabama any time soon.
