And maybe it's an intentional fuck you but actually I think this is whole rush job is most likely a function of, the Mad King is impatient and continuing his documented career-long disinterest in trades best practices and historical preservation.

Innocent people don’t do things like this. Or sane ones. OpenAI requested “all documents relating to memorial services or events in honour of the decedent”, according to the document obtained by the FT. on.ft.com/3LmxXuS OpenAI prioritised user engagement over suicide prevention, lawsuit claims

Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

This is why No Kings is important, among other reasons

I was chatting with a neighbor this afternoon and he asked me "so . . . what's going on in the world," and I led with, "well, there's the whole destroying the East Wing of the White House for a ballroom thing, it's just gone," and my neighbor said "wait what? I didn't know that"

This little item by Luke Broadwater on the abrupt, wholly unannounced destruction of a major component of the White House complex is a microcosm of the dysfunctional relationship the press has with this mendacious administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

PRECISELY. He is tearing our government down now in full view.

the rapid destruction of the East Wing at the White House without congressional approval feels like something that would be deemed too extreme for an episode of Veep

Thinking this through: given that my students are early enough in their studies to think that “neutrality” is a thing, and that a good # of them want to go into AI, I wonder if there’s something that doesn’t bill itself as for haters but that nevertheless paints an accurately devastating picture.

But it gets worse. According to the New York Times, the DOJ does not “require a public announcement of settlements made for administrative claims before they become lawsuits.” That means the DOJ could pay Trump $230 million in complete secrecy.

That is a glaring ethics issue. How can you expect lawyers in those cases to be impartial when making a decision about granting millions in damages to their former client—especially when that client is now their boss and the president of the United States?

Alberta is ground zero in the fight against MAGA tyrants. Standing with the teachers, students and families who are the front line of resistance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vujr...

Nesmaa really needs some money to keep this little one fed and safe.

The idea is that the US and Europe will see the nuclear and ballistic testing and publish fear propaganda about how Russia is big and strong and Ukraine should surrender or “nuclear war!” or some stupid shit like that.

Eugene Williams, the local civil rights leader and affordable housing advocate, has died at 97. One of the last cover stories in The Hook was about Eugene Williams and his experience growing up in Jim Crow Charlottesville. Read more: web.archive.org/web/20200815...

You're welcome to reply to the top post with your book links! Just please I AM BEGGING YOU: 1. Include a buy link 2. A cover or promo image that isn't a tropes tag (sorry, a lot of people who follow me hate them) 3. A little blurb about the book's plot 4. don't be weird

Indie authors & publishers aren't paid immediately, so there's just 9 days left to where any books bought in 2025 will be paid out to them. So I thought I'd do a thread where people could find some books! (authors, please read 🧵first lol) (Inspired by @suleikhasnyder.bsky.social post)

Anyway if you have a Nazi tattoo it’s true you’re not a secret Nazi. You’re an open Nazi. You literally have a sign that you carry around in your body every day that says “I’m a Nazi.”

The consumer backlash to data centers is here. Right now, you’re paying more for your electricity because of AI data centers you’ve never seen — and that may never be built. Advocates for ratepayers in Maryland are pushing back. @umairfan.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4650...

Any Democrat president consistently rambling 💩like this would have the GOP demanding impeachment or 25th amendment. ESPECIALLY after demolishing the White House. I can’t even imagine how fast the outrage would have erupted. Fucking hypocritical cowards.

Conservatives are now agitating against Indigenous title in Richmond, so it’s not like that won’t blow up in their faces. #HoC

Ben Meiselas doesn't hold back after Meriwether Farms gushes over Trump but begs him not to "betray" them by propping up Argentina: What are you doing? Like, you realize he’s destroying you. He hates you. He absolutely hates you and thinks you’re dumb and stupid.

A lot of people need to be visited by three ghosts

The silver lining is the Professor still has his faculty job, but this is explicitly viewpoint discrimination, a message that there is no such thing as faculty governance. All admin must be aligned with a political party. For all the talk of leftist indoctrination, this is no different from China.

... and tastawiyiniwak: 26.1 Again this comes after the Alberta government mandated an end to electronic vote counters edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

“Frighteningly easy to sell new wars”

TRUMP IS SCUM WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN RAPE TAPES???

Ordered to lie, fired when he refused. My thoughts on the 60 Minutes interview of former DOJ attorney turned whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, and why any prosecution in the Trump Regime must be viewed with skepticism, if not outright disgust. youtu.be/GJcXaI7IeH8?...

I know it's risky, but we need more on the inside to speak out.

Long line because of stupid form. Our supreme leaders idea. Cleaning up voter fraud, that we don't have. Loathsome woman

Tom Homan reportedly accepted $50,000 stuffed into a takeout bag from undercover F.B.I. agents. We must continue to ask where the money went, Ruth Marcus writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/zn2Q1B

Trump scoffed at the idea that he is a king But, on Feb 19th, Trump's White House posted this image of Trump wearing a crown with the words, "Long Live The King" Now that the No Kings movement is steamrolling across the U.S. don't be gaslit by King TACO NoKings.org

Clark Construction, AECOM and McCrery Architects.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

This oped nicely makes the point that Mark Carney, and Ottawa generally, are beholden to an out-of-date, 90s-era economic ideology that treats government as a problem to be minimized and citizens as mere consumers, not as assets to be mobilized for the public good.

It's wild to go to the trouble of putting on a skull mask balaclava only to wear it so high that it doesn't cover your distinctive forehead tattoo

Well... Almost 1,100 days since Danielle smith boasted 'HEALTHCARE FIXED IN 90 DAYS!"... You guessed it.. More ER Closures, OBGYN Closures & more! Updates on COVID-19 in Alberta, along with Influenza & RSV still kicking around! open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social

Strapped to a Meta Exsanguination Slab for my 16hr shift, I ask “how many more litres to earn the Bali vacation?” I feel the opioid dose increase. “You already went,” the AI assures me. “Look how much fun you had.” My ocular implants show a photo of me on a beach. “Oh yeah,” I reply, drifting off.

I mean listen, we can't cut off this 30-year-old boy's bright future just because he said incredibly racist Nazi shit when he was only 30 years old

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Once you see how mainstream pundits literally blame Democrats for everything, you can’t unsee it. That blame shift filters down to everyone, even people who should know better.

New York Times economics reporter asserts that by passing the Affordable Care Act without a single Republican vote in the Senate, Democrats "gutted" it.

This is so, so good.

Only in Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon does this apparently need to be said: We should not be firing live artillery over our freeways.

These people are, not to put too fine a point on it, nuts.
