Look at my lawyer dawg I'm going to jail

Spectacular

We are going to war with Iran to follow up on our decisive and perfect war with Iran 8 months ago.

Don't see good ol fashioned ratios on the butterfly app too often. Feels good

first, the board of peace meeting, then war.

We could have photos like this too if peole gave a shit about men raping kids in this country

I just explained to my students that crooked politicians always like to use the passive voice to avoid accountability, and this is a pretty solid example. Exonerated by whom, sir? When? How?

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for "misconduct in public office", which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

When an entire administration betrays the public trust, an entire administration may be held to account.

The US has been lapped again.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

propaganda works. I suspect it probably works better on people who think they're immune to it

2026 basically

this is what ai and data centers feel like to me

chef: who wants dirt soup everyone: what? no thank you, just regular soup chef: bad news we had to get rid of the soup to provide the dirt everyone: but we hate dirt chef: (mouthful of dirt) who wants dirt

if you want me to embrace ai you need to first convince me it is the best use of trillions of (our) dollars and then you need to convince me its more than a fake hypergrowth ponzi scheme meant to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of billionaires

The right is currently demonizing **rainbow crosswalks**. There is no safe space to retreat to where we won’t have to win the political fight.

I cannot stress enough how no one is gonna want to pay for AI tools once they decide they need to make profits This is all so stupid

AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it

Writing is thinking. It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

A former Democratic colleague of hers once told me that Susan Collins is “usually there when you don’t need her and never there when you actually do.” The moderate brand she projects is entirely performative. It’s always surprised me that Maine voters don’t seem to care.

I am so goddamn proud of her.

I didn’t make this, but it’s pretty spot on

I genuinely loathe Chuck Schumer

normie centrists everywhere: my god ICE is monstrous and must be stopped chuck schumer: maybe *two* body cams

Everyone is lazy and stupid part 8 million

the more you learn about the antebellum south the more you transform into this every plantation owner should have been put to death

MTG square incoming? I still think she runs independent but maybe?

Just under the wire

how we got here

In addition to the space, it's also the noise. When people say the city is loud, it's usually cars -- specifically multilane high speed roads. Calming the speed and volume of traffic has tangible quality of life benefits even outside of improved walkability.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

At a certain point even an optimist like me has to assume it’s deliberate

You notice how when streets are closed to cars that people on foot and bike instantly fill them, moving without fear, enabled by the removal of the threat that plagues all cities? The space is there, it's just occupied by cars.

Barrington RI apparently doesn't give a shit if you shovel your sidewalk

We didn't need it before 9/11 and it's only been a nightmare since. So.

She fucking killed an entire family while speeding in her Mercedes SUV and they’re not going to even take her license away??

The best case scenario is that Trump will waste $38 billion. The more likely outcome is that these will become warehouses of human suffering, and a permanent stain on America's history.

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

ICE conducts daylight executions of civilians and uses children as bait, they are decades beyond reformable.
