i think it's good to live in a country where one of the two political parties can't read and the other party is copying their homework

its the useless committee from "the good place" but real life.

Whoever invents a meat whiskey first is going to be a MAGA MAHA multimillionaire.

Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

The especially fun thing about this is that the mainstream papers of record will continue to run stories about how some random thing a Democrat said is "raising the temperature" and inciting violence while not writing about this at all

On a train from Stockholm airport to central station. It is going 160kmph. It takes 18 minutes and is utterly seamless. We could have this.

Side by side on the shelf. What utter marks conservatives are. Amazing the contempt they have for their own base.

Excuse you?? The rest of us are capable of multitasking, thanks. Ai is demonstrably harmful, both sociologically & environmentally. Just because *you* don't give a fuck beyond whether you get any likes for posting such bullshit doesn't mean the rest of us have to be so shallow.

You know what I hate more than hydration breaks? Hydration breaks with a full set of adverts in them. Damn American TV. Bring back the clips chosen by a bored TV director switching between lads spitting their hydration straight back out, for feck sake! #ECUvGER

Someone on Reddit used this prompt to get "AI" to reveal its copyrighted training data, and I decided to test it myself and what do you know, anyway, "AI" is trained on theft, don't use it

It's so funny how they know nothing about us. There are literally intraracial jokes about how hardworking Haitians are.

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

Kagan points out in the dissent here that Alito is too much of a coward to even put Trump’s supposedly non-racist statements in his opinion.

“James Carville fans” has to be one of the saddest phrases in the English language.

These are the exact words she posted: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

🚨THE KIDS ACT IS AN INTERNET SURVEILLANCE BILL🚨 Congress is rushing the KIDS Act toward a vote. This blend of KOSA, the SCREEN Act, SAFE Bots, and other bills is a single package that is a threat to privacy and free expression for ALL internet users. 🧵(1/10)

Mamdani's favorability's at +32 in New York City AND +11 in New York State according to the latest Sienna poll. That +11 state-wide is frankly mind blowing - up from +3 in April. People like the dude! h/t @ericmgarcia.bsky.social sri.siena.edu/2026/06/25/h...

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

The Republican president of the Utah State Senate lost his 2026 primary because of his support for "AI" Data Centers. UTAH. Democrats, i really really really need you to get this message and get it right now.

It's very funny that Musk is not a trillionaire any more but also the fact you can supposedly gain and lose three hundred billion in a week should really hammer home that the economy is fully imaginary

But in terms of geologic time, human-induced warming is extremely fast.

I don’t usually repost things without alt text but I will make an exception because I went to high school with Tom and he wasn’t always this pathetic. (But is clearly now. Sad)

How does this song sound fresh after 40 years?!?! youtu.be/XmiKqRlfX00?...

The pernicious thing about AI is that it does make people who can't otherwise put two sentences together sound vaguely and superficially competent. The saving grace is that it's almost always super fucking obvious when a person who can't otherwise put two sentences together is using AI to do it.

in addition to every other problem here, mamdani spends the vast majority of his time in the public eye speaking about hyper-local new york city governance issues. the idea that he is preoccupied with israel at all times is based on nothing other than the fact that he is muslim

Jaime Harrison - As party leader: • LOST the White House • LOST the Senate • LOST the House As candidate: • LOST to Lindsey Graham As a lobbyist, clients included: • Bank of America • Wells Fargo • Berkshire Hathaway • Big Pharma • Casinos • Coal • Electricity • Walmart Jaime is out of touch.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

lol. I see what you did there @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social

I know that this makes me sound like the aged millennial I am, but one of the joys of playing video games when I was a teenager was reading the manual and getting excited by the map/character cards on the bus home. You don't really get that any more. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

LMAO -- GOP Rep. French Hill is literally right now during a news conference touting the bipartisan housing bill and the president's support for it, unaware that Trump moments ago angrily announced he won't sign it

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Mark Zuckerberg thought long and hard how to make things even shittier, and came up with

Clearest proof we've seen that he thinks refugees claiming political asylum were refugees from an actual insane asylum. The leader of the United States is dumber than dirt but there's an entire cult enabling him and a corporate media too cowardly to call them out.

Inside me are two wolves: actual WWFC supporter rooting for Portugal and normal decent human being rooting against Ronaldo.

I really love this legacy media environment in which I'm asked to pay $20/month to support traditional newspapers and then asked to spend another $29.99 for a supposedly essential book written by two reporters who could have already published that information in said traditional newspaper.

OTD in 1979, THE MUPPET MOVIE opened in theaters across the United States. Jim Henson noted (with typical understatement) that its reception was "Great!" and it was one of the most profitable films of the decade. But getting the Muppets to the big screen in the first place was hard work.

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.
