"While supremacist beliefs regularly appear with such intersections of multiple dehumanizing and conspiracist ideologies, coverage often appears to struggle with this, focusing on one ideological strand and neglecting the other elements of the belief system."

the boys is really the end stage of "you can't make satire that people won't take at face value" if there's one thing you cannot accuse the works of garth ennis of, it is subtlety, he is problematic but hates these people with every fiber of his being somehow the show had to be even more explicit

RIP #RobBase all of Gen ex can’t remember why we walked into the fucking room but we remember every word of that song

nothing is really new here, just Dilbert-ass MBA behavior

Baby jewel cichlids look like actual fish now instead of eyeballs with a tail

I am begging everyone to make something! Yes, YOU! Make something bad, make something stupid, make something messy Draw, paint, sing, dance, tell jokes, film, mold, whatever Just make something that didn’t exist before you made it I’m convinced creativity and community will save us

Just thinking about how when I was uninsured in Idaho, it cost me like $230 a bottle for estrogen for some weird reason (it’s never cost that much anywhere before or since then) and I had to beg friends to help stay on hormones, but now Texas has socialized healthcare solely for detransition

The rent was too damned high in 2023, scuse me.

Tangentially but related, if someone says ‘diversity of thought’ to you they fully intend to put you in a death camp

Love it: the night after he was kicked off of CBS for good, Stephen Colbert hosted a public access show in southeast Michigan.

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

⚡️Zelensky calls German ‘associate’ EU membership proposal ‘unfair,’ says Ukraine would be ‘voiceless’. The comments come after Friedrich Merz proposed creating an interim "associate" form of EU membership for Ukraine and other candidate countries while they wait for full accession to the bloc.

I realized a few years ago (after Kamala Harris teamed up with Ken Paxton to shut down Backpage) that the most politically expendable identities were people in prison, sex workers and trans people.

"We're sending people to the camps...but only so they can't harm society while they learn the skills they need to be useful to the world we're building."

Every time someone buys one of my games or supplements on Itch or DriveThru, it gives me the resources to do more. From buying art to being able to use a site's marketing tools (those cost money). KS is off the table, and often more trouble than its worth, so this is how I'm able to make new stuff.

McGovern: Can you explain what is happening with the Iran war powers resolution that was scheduled to be voted on this evening? Are we not voting on it because the American people are sick and tired of this illegal war that is costing tens of billions of dollars?

Well, at least Tulsi Gabbard now has time to attend Trump's son's wedding

The ICE/DOJ scandal that finally saw the light of day yesterday in a chicago courtroom has now spread to DC www.notus.org/courts/durbi...

BREAKING: Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is resigning from Trump Cabinet.

Let’s hope she gets booed every time she is out in public. Without Secret Service backing her up I wonder how brave she’ll be.

the guy who wrote the boys wrote this panel! he hates you! he hates everything about you and he will write gross-out humor about it because he holds you in so much contempt! this is not so much media illiteracy as it is media anti-literacy

So while they're ignoring Trump just taking $1.8 billion of taxpayer funding for his "do crimes for me" slush fund, MAGA is all a-flutter over this case. Not that it surprises anyone, but they only think it's "fraud" if they think Black people benefitted. apnews.com/article/frau...

"Sarah, what is best in life?" "To win the trust of a feral kitty. To have them seek you out for companionship. To feel them purring on your chest as they drift off to untroubled sleep."

have great confidence in meta's investment in ai and how they are laying off workers, after all these are the same people who nailed the fact that everyone wants camera glasses and vr chats with legs cut off. they know the future.

There's no paradox of tolerance. Those who refuse to partake in the social contract can lay no claims to it.

When a reckless driver kills someone driving aggressively, the police just ask other drivers to please slow down 🙏 When some kids are annoying on ebikes: $500 fine and straight to jail!

I have always said Elon would rather be a middle-range SNL performer than a billionaire. He wants more than anything to be cool and funny, and there is no amount of money that can get him there. I don't even think he's smart enough to hire comedy writers for his tweets.

If Google's plan really is to kill linked results through their search, ok way to wean me off your flagship product once and for all I guess. Right now I treat the AI summaries as slop summaries of the SEO-optimized content farm websites and then scroll to find a link to Reddit results

This would be a powerful cartoon. If it wasn't posted in The Guardian, which fought for this very thing. You can't wash your hands clean with ink.

Lifted off food stamps? Trump and Republicans RIPPED food assistance away from millions of Americans to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires.

A family in Idaho has dropped their lawsuit challenging a state law barring transgender students from using the restroom after their 16-year-old trans daughter died by suicide. Idaho AG Raul Labrador praised the decision without mentioning the girl's death or why the case was dismissed.

wave of the future, why are us naysayers so out of touch 🤷🏻‍♀️

there’s not a “this you?” big enough for the Guardian publishing this

The president of Cornell hit two students with his car, lied about what happened, and got away with it. The story illustrates an under-reported crisis in higher education: administrators and the trustees they answer to are increasingly hostile to the idea of college itself. I wrote about it here:

My personal take is that we had a settlement - not the same thing as an agreement, no one agreed to it exactly, it wasn't written down - but an arrangement that was pretty favorable to people who made money in industry, and THEY are the ones who blew up the arrangement

People often pitch AI as unprecedented. But what if we already have the organizational tools to evaluate & negotiate its use? Our new book Auditing AI opens in the 1980s with the story of the US Network for Organ Sharing how how they test & decide on their algorithms direct.mit.edu/books/book/6...

We’re short on payroll for our multimedia labor reporter! We just need $206 - can a couple folks chip in?

RFK uses stories of snorting cocaine off toilet seats while telling you measles builds character. MAHA is a grift, purity culture in clown shoes, recycling century-old eugenics to activate a base while billionaires pocket the proceeds. Andrea Pitzer on MAHA's American Eugenics as farce.

Uh ... not "lifted off." They were simply thrown off of assistance. That's not the same thing.
