The Loot:

i'm deleting this post. since posting it i watched some more basketball and it turns out this is pretty much always what happens

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.” America’s Mayor can’t miss.

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

This issues a compelling thesis I’d never considered: the Supreme Court justices are as Fox News-brained as any of them; they’re just among the few of that milieu who are literate

Filling my tomodachi life island with gay gay gay furries and then there's a Sam Reich to torment them

“The right wing is on the decline. People are realizing that they have no vision or solutions, just hatred and empty slogans. All they’ve brought to the world is war, inflation, inequality, and social division.”

this is why it's incredibly important to know the signs and immediately dismiss people exhibiting any of the signs. taibbi, musk and nate silver in particular: you could see the malevolent stupidity in them from a mile away if you knew the signs. there are primary voters about to learn the signs

lrt so it was vibecoding AND ddos. bc of vibecoding. masterful gambit staff

Assimilationist LGBT people have been discovering that their attempts to distance themselves from all the queer freaks did not actually help them at all, and the people in power never stopped thinking of them as dykes and faggots and trannies this whole time.

YES! 😀

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

True! Fun fact: They did this because someone leaked Robert Bork’s rental history during his confirmation battle.

A federal judge in Illinois today ruled that the Trump administration improperly coerced Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking apps in violation of the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is both (1) some of the most important SCOTUS reporting ever, and (2) far too generous to the Republican justices in framing of many pieces and omissions of Trump-era developments

Missing from this: (1) unconstitutional for SCOTUS to rule on the Obama regulation when it was no longer in place (2) Rs invented a totally lawless “major questions doctrine” to give themselves the power to veto any agency action they don’t like (3) look what Major Questions they let Trump decide

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

its crazy that we get to live on a planet full of beautiful transsexual wife's

Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.

bringing back shame and social sanction for being a bigoted asshole is good, actually

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Please don't tell me again how woke and great the Chicago pope is. There are reasons I have expressly requested to never be taken to a Catholic hospital for any reason whatsoever. This piece touches on some of them.

Here's some good news as you head into your weekend: In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy. e360.yale.edu/digest/us-re...

they withdrew my state taxes already leaving me almost negative 1k in my bank, any support needed now more than ever

got out of the ER with my partner last night after being at doctors all day. their hand was sliced by glass in an accident and they needed 9 stitches. I will be helping during their recovery, while working on art and an OSHA course and job interviews. overwhelmed, need help.

The infinite growth model is one of the worst things to happen to journalism/media. At some point you reach the ceiling of people who want to read your magazine! You can just make enough money to pay people well and publish things and not grow forever!

Viktor Orbán’s loss marks the collapse of one of the far right’s most important governing models, long amplified by U.S. allies. The reaction, outrage from extremists, silence from others, underscores the scale of the rupture. Read more:

my biggest pet peeve around LLMs is when people (usually those invested in its success) call it “intelligent”. it definitionally, how it functions on a base level, is not intelligent. the way LLMs are built, it can never hit real intelligence. it’s just predictive

Once again: corporate-approved horny. Baldur's Gate and The Witcher and Cyberpunk will not be banned on Twitch, while less lascivious indie games are banned from sale. Horny is an increasingly relevant Cultural Trend, and culture must be consolidated into the hands of capital.

I can't even joke about this shit, hundreds of people are trapped on those ships and the food is running out, this is a fucking nightmare scenario. Looking at the meals being served I'm betting members of the crews will start running calorie deficits real soon if they aren't already.

Holy shit. According to the article sailors on TRIPOLI are rationing their food and if someone gets a little extra they're sharing it with their friends. There's no fresh produce, which points to a lack of resupply ships able to serve the ships maintaining the blockade.
