there are thankfully fewer of these over time, but i like the americans replying here about how it makes sense for the dems to run to the right like their party didn't just try that last election and totally faceplant against a ridiculously weak opponent. this isn't a hypothetical! you tried yours!

but we need people to go one further and stop thinking that places like MSNBC are the 'left' outlets. They aren't. NYT isn't. They use the language of the left to launder the ideas of the right and people should be more disgusted by it

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Racism really is illogical bc how are you threatening HBCUs bc a white man shot another white man at a white rally at a white university in what has GOT TO be one of the top 5 whitest states in the country??? Black people couldn't be further from this if we actually tried.

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

Something I wonder about for real is what comes after this, whenever that is. Because it can't be this again, right? Like if this is what the presidency is now then we can't ever have another president

Feels like a year of being yelled at for rocking the boat when all you’re trying to do is row

The U.S. will continue to get worse as long as they don't dismantle the Democratic Party. They're not chaotic or useless, they function exceptionally well as controlled opposition party

this why i’m in the “primary everyone” camp. jeffries and schumer have been bad, but they’re more a symptom than the underlying disease. the controlling faction(s) of the party are committed to an untenable, elitist, and undemocratic vision of politics, and we need to change that

Imagine explaining to Bill Watterson while he was drawing this that "Calvinball" would one day appear in a United States Supreme Court dissent

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

Stay salty DC 🔥

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Just saw someone call the military occupation of DC a distraction, and that’s it, the it’s a distraction people have lost it. We should wait until the bulldozer is running over your house and all chime in with “isn’t there something else we should be talking about”

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

do not upload your photo to any ID verification service to BROWSE THE INTERNET i am being so serious id much rather buy a vpn. learn how to pirate. this data is so obviously going to be used in nefarious ways

People who became affluent/well off in their 20s from a booming software industry and, for lack of struggle, decided to become reactionary cranks. An ideology that was only possible in San Francisco precisely because they were so narrow and incurious of the world itself.

ICE piñata - scenes from Chicago ✊🏽

I honestly feel like Epstein is their way of rebuking him without admitting to being wrong about the substantive matters.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

We have kimchi in America, it is called coleslaw and you make it by substituting every step in kimchi preparation with mayonnaise

The only logical conclusion one can come to is that Democrat leaders want the exact same things Republicans do. And they despise the Democrats that don’t

We have one party that is nakedly evil, and another party that wants to be seen as opposing that evil (though only ever unsuccessfully) while its leaders quietly benefit from every evil policy enacted

I’m totally a centrist dem, but statements on mamdani are becoming an excellent litmus test on which elected officials should be replaced

ai art is the modern aesthetic of fascism

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

the "where are all the protests against trump" people became the "these protests against trump are bad optics" people so quickly you may have missed it

Uh, Republicans control the house and senate, do you expect Democrats can just wave a magic wand and not praise ICE and advise people to help them

GUY WHO, IF PRESSED, TURNS OUT IS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO YOUR CAUSE: are you sure *those* tactics help your cause

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

i dunno man "dems need to move to the center on cultural issues" has always just seen to me like a way to make sure there's no air to talk about other possible moves like shifting the party from the right back toward the center on issues like campaign finance reform

applying for jobs again

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

what

one of the tasks of the American left is to explain to retail and service workers that this is the future that America has planned for them

I think the main thing to keep in mind is that the abolish ICE people didn't really appreciate the danger posed by ICE under Trump or else they would have voted harder for two vocal supporters of ICE.

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

openai’s new ghibli “generator” is explicitly an intentional attempt at humiliation of a prominent objector openai is culturally fascist as well as functionally fascist it’s not an accident
