It really is the purest encapsulation of this movement in terms of both its leaders and adherents: an old angry guy who can’t do pull ups making everyone watch him try to do pull ups

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

The top-10 carmakers by market cap make up 75% of global passenger car sales. Tesla makes up less than 2%. The Tesla bubble will be widely documented in history books.

it’s kind of insane it came out that the president might be one of the most notable pedophiles in modern history and he’s just still the president

We need AI regulation yesterday

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Communists are always framed as pessimists for saying “we can do better than this”

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

A movie that takes place where you're from

Zohran Mamdani just made history by saying on live television beside the President of the United States that instead of housing their own children they're spending money supporting Israel's genocide of Palestinians

It's staggering how often AI still lies. Me: How do I do something in this software? AI: Here's how you do the thing. Me: The options you're describing don't exist. AI: I can understand how it might be confusing because yes, those options don't exist. I was generalizing. WHAT A GREAT INVESTMENT

we’re about to start seeing a lot of “here’s a cost effective meal your grandparents made during the great depression”

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

It's just hyper-Wild West out there.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10. This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

Our entire economy is now AI and crypto speculation and sports betting. All three of them are just pure gambling and the closest one of them to not being total random chance is sports betting.

We wanted to know what it was like to own a Cybertruck. So @zoeschiffer.bsky.social went to the desert got this absolutely amazing quotes (and Michelle Groskopf took the pictures!) www.wired.com/story/owning...

cnn dug up graham platner's old reddit posts and unfortunately a lot of them seem to confirm that....he's pretty cool www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/p...

I'm so tired. The largest squandering of wealth in human history. Just turn it off

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE. It’s time to cancel your account.

the appeal of fascism has always been restoring a mythical glorious past, it’s just that now that it’s gripping America at this moment they can’t think of anything more glorious or mythical than malls and Furbys

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

Zohran Mamdani calling it a genocide on The View and getting applause.

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

I'm still desperately waiting for the middle of the Three Os trilogy. We have the bookends, The OA and The OC. Where is The OB?

Not the point of this piece exactly but a great example of how chatbot validation could increase polarization www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/w...

Making America great by sending money to other despots www.express.co.uk/news/world/2...

You could also keep boycotting Disney because they donate money to Israel

Ghouls like Zaslav are doing great things for physical media, libraries, piracy, and even touching grass.

This is cute but spineless. He should've just repeated Kimmel's monologue.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The vice president of the U.S. guest-hosted a Nazi's podcast.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

Right-wing ideology is inherently violent because it centers around hierarchies and enforcing them.

Putting away all the "CIVIL WAR NOW" banners at the news station and bringing out the "Mental Health Crisis in America" banners with a heavy sigh

His work was to stoke hatred and fear through cynical snark, you ghoul.

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

What is "transgender ideology"?

Shame

“I just want people to know that AI is being sold as this tech magic – that’s why there’s a little sparkle symbol next to an AI response. But it’s not. It’s built on the backs of overworked, underpaid human beings.” (From Varsha Bansal in @theguardian.com) www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

American corporate media is really saying that you can cultivate misogyny and other hatreds and be labeled an activist.

Kill it (ChatGPT) with fire

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.
