Once again I think the capital holding class thought that Trump 2 represented a huge anti woke reactionary cultural backlash and it simply didn’t materialize.

corollary: if you run an open source library with any users at all, you are now in a vulnerability-finding arms race with those who will mechanically find and exploit security issues in your code… and embarrassingly, any software that depends on it

You are being lied to. And there's only one man who knows the truth. Jim Haggerty returns, only on InfoWars.

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

100% of articles mentioning Jared working as our chief diplomat should mention his corrupt conflict of interest raising money & working for Saudis (also his complete lack of credentials for doing this), but only 3% do mention it.

Today in fun Seattle characters, guy stopped at the light in front of me, listening to Rage Against the Machine with the windows down, drumming along on his steering wheel with an actual pair of drumsticks. Stickers on his car read “Roll for initiative” “+5 car of driving” “I break for critters”

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Sure seems like a good reason to never shop at target again!

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

“And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle.“

One huge bright side to this whole thing is that Orban had basically total control of the media through his allied oligarchs, and he still lost. Give me hope that we can pull out of this tailspin.

Pretty sure that a lot of the current oil market stability is propped up on the idea that paying a toll to Iran in exchange for stable safe passage at around 1% of total cost of cargo will be worth it, and that as a result oil flows will eventually go back to normal. If the US blockades however…

What made the Metaverse so funny is that VR was always destined for Furries and anime avatar weirdos hanging out in an accurate recreation of a Waffle House and any attempt to extend that to normies was destined to fail.

i will vote for dems who say this stuff and act on this stuff! i will give them money! i will tell my friends to do the same! it is what i want from government more than anything else right now!

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization. 25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.

Has your representative said this yet? If not, contact them and demand it.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

not to downplay the severity of what's cominb but the entire fall campaign of just executing boats full of civilians in the caribbean was a screaming klaxon that illegality of the order is no obstacle for Hegseth's Department of Warcrimes

One truly can only conclude this is because they like Trump and want him to rule us like a king

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

My thinking on this case is that Clarence Thomas should have been removed from office immediately when we found out his wife had plotted to overthrow our constitutional republic

Guys remember “have fun being poor?” I wonder how those guys are doing these days…

I hate the ballroom and this is clearly the correct result. With that said, it’s a perfect example of how fucking broken this country is that he was able to tear down the East Wing without interference from anyone or anything but he can’t build anything in its place due to a court order.

CA’s $20 fast food minimum wage raised fast food prices by only 3%. The reason minimum wage increases keep not reducing employment and barely increasing prices is monopsony power. www.nber.org/papers/w34990

Corollary to this, the opposition knows this too, consider how they might be trying to demoralize and de-energize YOU.

Per YouGov Rahm Emanuel is the 78th most popular Democrat, behind everyone from Michael Dukakis to Barney Frank. He is 12 places behind Harry Reid, who died five years ago. To the extent anything's happening here it's *entirely* media-driven. yougov.com/en-us/rating...

Google should have to pay you five dollars every time you catch the AI summary lying to you. That will get them to shape up right quick.

I really really cannot believe how fucking stupid CEOs/businesses were about the risk Trump posed *to them*

“The fact that organized protest can break the spiral of silence, and correct our impressions of what other Americans think, is one of the most immediate and important values of protesting in the first place. Scientists have [shown] protests update our impressions of what other citizens believe.”

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

I keep thinking about how Trumpism isn't even pragmatic assholery, a moral tradeoff where warmongering and cruelty leads to better results for Americans. He's just smashing the lose-lose button over and over again, making our country meaner and more violent, but also poorer and worse to live in

if you were actively trying to sabotage ICE, this is how you would do it. pack citizens into an environment that causes their cortisol levels to blow through the roof and then make these dickheads loiter around in the center of the room doing absolutely nothing to help.

"No solar farms on prime farmland"? My dude, you are growing fuel corn. A single field of solar replaces several fields of fuel corn which means THERE WILL BE MORE PRIME FARMLAND to use for FOOD.

Fortunately, wargaming has given me extensive experience of situations where wars spiral out of control to the point your war aims are just to return to the status quo ante. That's how I know what these guys need to do now is load from an old autosave.

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

Came out of the post office, saw that a guy had cut my saddle bag off my bike and was about to take off with it. I yelled "Please wait my cat's medicine is in there!" He started to run, and this grandma-age lady goes "SHE SAID HER CAT'S MEDICINE IS IN THERE" and WALLOPED him with her grocery bag.

A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel. This sucks, man

You know how in the prisoner’s dilemma, the optimal strategy is to cooperate, but punish defectors because otherwise defectors will just always defect? Can’t help thinking that world leaders failing to punish Trump for his past transgressions is what lead us to this moment.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

From the Point of View of a Cat ~ Karel Capek (translated by Dora Round - originally published in Intimate Things, 1935)

How to blow up a pipeline is really great, and you should watch it if you haven’t already. If you’re craving something with revolutionary zeal to meet this moment, look no further.
