Well first of all there needs to be a mass education drive so people understand the need to have a pension. But this is also a cost of living issue - if you’re struggling to manage today, you can’t afford to save for tomorrow www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...

Great to see ABC news doing this - that's Rebel News panicking because if everyone does it they no longer have a business model @news.abc.net.au

Their mastery of headline syntax remains their strongest superpower.

Jared Polis pretty much screwed his career with this One Weird Trick to pander to the MAGA demographic for a future presidential run. Just the worst political insticts.

PSA because I'm tired of this 🧵

I have not stopped thinking about this since I saw it two hours ago. Like yeah of course I’m always at Best Buy purchasing prewritten software. My giant estates are nearby — why wouldn’t I be at Best Buy purchasing prewritten software?

Bluesky is such a weird bubble. People here are not eager to sacrifice their children to ba'al - something extremely popular in the group chat, on X the everything app, and in Ohio diners

I'm sorry, is Fortune actually framing this article in such a way that it's directed at like maybe a few dozen people? That's sad.

Small typo there, what you guys meant to write was "splitting their allegiances depending on whether they want to work for Silicon Valley or want to lead the progressive movement."

Streeting bought into the hype the media whipped up around him, and it's lovely to see how he completely fucked it.

NEW: Sen Michael Bennet (D) says he will not appoint Gov Jared Polis to the Senate if Bennet is elected Governor. Bennet calls Polis' clemency for Tina Peters "disqualifying"

So when Obi Wan cut off Anakin's legs, did they just like ... leave them there? Like did Palpatine have a doggy bag or something what's the protocol

In 2025, HHS issued stop work order for federal research lab that studies Ebola virus and other deadly pathogens and fired its director. This lab was a world leader in accelerating development therapies and vaccines for Ebola and other viruses. 1/ www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

With the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, we are going to see a big uptick in adoptions. As someone who works in Grogu rescue, I will remind you: when you adopt a Baby Yoda, you are committing to its 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘯. Grogus can live up to 900 years. They can also move shit around your apartment.

We’ll see what happens in the election but I have a real fear of CA morphing from a fundamentally blue state into a full technocratic libertarian nightmare, all because it’s still couched in the word “democrat”. www.pressdemocrat.com/2026/05/18/b...

everything's cool everything's chill everything's BIRD

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

This little boy is what’s keeping me grounded

half of all tech news these days is something like "i am so excited for AI to put us all in those tubes full of goo from the matrix"

Terrifying how quickly this fundamental betrayal of art and human creativity has become normalised.

Starting to think AI psychosis is the most urgent mental health crisis in modern history. betakit.com/ai-godfather...

Tomorrow’s free: AI is too expensive, and a preview of “Revenge of the Business Idiot”

It should be a huge scandal that a close confidante of, and adviser to, President Trump and Secretary Rubio reacted to a deadly terrorist attack at a mosque by calling the mosque "evil" and calling for the deportation of all Muslims from America. But it isn't. *sighs*

reminds me of:

I don't think folks younger than 30 know what the internet once legitimately promised to be (and I would argue briefly was): a boundary-less space of pretty much uncommodified information and communication. A mix between community bulletin boards and university library stacks.

Hey internet! You know how you love to be mad? Well now is a great time to put that skill to use and contact the FCC.

the president loves stealing your money and giving it to pedophiles, folks. it’s like his favorite thing to do

The next college speaker that has praise for AI written into their prepared speech:

UPDATE: Judge in Trump’s bullshit IRS lawsuit closes the case with prejudice BUT she notes there’s no “settlement” that resolved this case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A “fun” thing about the 1776 number is it makes it more clear how much the settlement agreement is corrupt. Todd Blanche signed his name to an official government document claiming this figure was “based on the projected valuation of future claimants’ claims,” which is clearly, obviously, a lie.

Good job America. You all need to give up part of your paychecks to reward a bunch of losers who failed to overthrow the government on behalf of a pedophile. Definitely one for the history books, but not of any history that will ever be taught in the southern states.

This little man has spent days acting absolutely feral and has suddenly decided he's changed his mind and regrets his previous words and actions. 😂❤️

She starts off kind of trying to laugh her way through it like "what are you gonna do ha ha oh that wacky AI" then the booing gets worse and her expression starts to falter as she understands "oh no they're BIG mad" All these kids will remember "AI" fucked up their big day.

The whole AI-to-make-graduation- efficient is bizarre. The most efficient way to award diplomas is by mail; there’s no logical need for ceremonies. The whole reason they exist is for the human touch & so people can celebrate each other. AI for “efficiency” here is nonsensical (& doesn’t even work🫠)

A girl is no one. I mean, a girl is Me. Me is no one? No one is me? It's a-me, Liono? It's The Woman Who Lived! wimdpod.com/episodes/the...

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society," Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first" Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates". Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media. None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty.

"glenallen mixon"

Why did they even *need* AI for this? What problem was AI suppose to solve, here? Are the deans of the college illiterate

The normalization of far-right ideas continues as Curtis Yarvin and Lauren Southern are invited to a glitzy tech conference in Vancouver - which several Canadian politicians also attended. Full story here, no paywall: thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

“AI is here, so we have no choice but to accept it” so are immigrants and trans people, but I guess that’s a skill issue

Two people just shot up a mosque. Look at this three days ago:

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Oh, I know he of ALL people isn’t bringing up Comstock!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone keeps saying it's $1.8 billion so I missed the fact that it is actually $1.776 until I heard someone say it out loud, and I want to leave the fucking timeline where even the most blatant corruption you've ever seen is also a meme pun parody of patriotism just because they wanna rub it in.
