Day 18 of inserting a random Muppet into a random Star Trek screenshot #StarTrek #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds #StarTrekLowerDecks #TheMuppets

In the 90s we were told that when an AI went on a psychopathic, murderous rampage it would look like Russel Crowe being chased by Denzel Washington through downtown LA, not Sam Altman’s chatbot telling college kids to kill themselves. I do not like this future.

Never forget the Maxwell not only procured girls for Epstein. She also took part in the abuse. She’s as guilty in that regard as Epstein himself. Which is why I find her move to ‘Prison Camp” so utterly disgusting. Trump. Maxwell and Epstein are all cut from the same cloth.

www.mysanantonio.com/news/austin/... A spokesperson for the Texas State Employees Union CWA Texas Comptroller fired Austin resident Caleb Newton on October 28 due to a video he shared on his personal social media accounts encouraging other residents to attend the No Kings Day rally on October 18.

Unpaid air traffic controllers are quitting their jobs altogether as the longest government shutdown in U.S. history continues.

This is an ad on X. WTF!!! 😡😡😡

Wow: Trump is pardoning a convicted agent of the Chinese Communist Party

One of the key things the Supreme Court is supposed to do on an emergency motion is to balance the hardships to each sides. Here it is not even close--people starving v. the government not tapping a reserve they are supposed to tap anyway in the event of an emergency

The chaos of this whole fucking thing is UNHINGED. Some states have already started to distribute money! Some people have gotten the payments! Is he going to demand they TAKE THE MONEY BACK? like what is going ON

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

WE NEED AN ACTOR'S STRIKE, ASAP

So enraging that the emails from the school district are "here's how you can get food" and "here's how we're protecting students from ICE." What barbarity, a breach into which underpaid teachers and administrators are stepping in as best they can.

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

While I won't swear the Biden years were amazing, I really miss there being fewer horrors to discuss every day and, often, every hour...and that was during the early pandemic years. Now, you step away to shower and it feels like you have days of news/horrors to catch up on. This isn't healthy.

The fact @democrats.org hasn't produced ads bashing the republicans for the shutdown with pictures of the trump partying contrasted against ICE bearing up moms and kids & food lines underscores how fucking infuriating incompetent the DNC has become. If I can think this up. Smh

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.

The Trump administration's cybersecurity policies are indistinguishable from a foreign attack. In many ways they're worse, given they're wrapped in layers of phony operational efficiency.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

If a judge orders you to release funds for hungry children and you continue to fight it, it’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate how you got there. No political leverage is worth corrupting your soul.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.” That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.” @jessefelder.bsky.social $MSFT www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

From Lawrence O'Donnell: SCOTUS heard oral arguments on the Tariffs. The Regime lawyer admitted that Tariffs are taxes that WE THE PEOPLE pay and not the counties and that Congress has the authority to regulate Tariffs not the President. There is a good chance for them to rule against the Tariffs.

My Junior year of college, I took a course in logic, and I opted to do a half-hour presentation on fallacies. “Fallacious” was a word I’d read many, many times, but never said out loud. I mispronounced it. And consequently spent 30 minutes unintentionally making dick jokes.

These Vets are protesting outside ICE headquarters. As the people leave the office they are playing the crying and screaming of a child who's mom juts got kidnapping by ICE. Kidnapping by masked men is not ok and @jollygoodginger.bsky.social and crew are making sure they know they are all guilty!

The Senate is working through the weekend to find a way out of the shutdown. The House would rather keep blocking a new Democratic member and the Epstein files.

Every time a tech entrepreneur says “we don’t need to stop global warming because AI will” I want to slap them with a fish that says, “if a superhuman intelligence came into being and we asked it how to stop global warming, it would say ‘stop burning fossil fuels, you fools.’”
