Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

I mean, is it that surprising? (You might want to pay more attention to your page layout, CNN)

It seems the socialists are both representing the will of the people and using grassroots campaigning to achieve their goals. They must be stopped at all costs!

One might even say they fired at them

A Los Angeles restaurant worker with a valid work permit was followed by ICE into her workplace. The manager used PAXIS.app to identify the kitchen as a non-public area, told agents they could not enter without consent, asked for a judicial warrant refused access, and requested that they leave.

having to enter a password/key/captcha 7 or 8 times to do a simple online task is way way out of hand and i’m not kidding it needs to be legislated against

I've made the mistake of listening to a lot of Peter Thiel interviews recently to try to understand his worldview. The guy is an absolute third-rate thinker who contradicts himself every 30 seconds and nobody pushes him on it.

Europe is currently experiencing an unprecedented heat wave. The US government is paying companies to stop plans for wind farms. Tech companies are building mountains of energy-sucking data centers. This is unsustainable, literally www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

101 former judges have asked New York disciplinary authorities to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging ethics violations tied to his conduct at DOJ. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

We could use more people DOING something about Elon Musk instead of just amplifying his Stürmerposting. You can dismiss the Tesla dealer protests as "shitlib" all you want but it's 1000x more effective than just soyjack pointing at the guy's tweets

“AI companies need hundreds of billions in revenue or they’ll go bankrupt.” Wow, it sounds like AI companies have a terrible business model.

Every day normal people walk down the street and they pass a dog and that dog barks at them and they somehow manage to get out of the situation without shooting the dog. Cops cannot do that. Not in their skill set

fuck israel

Internal documents and former company executives revealed how Cigna doctors rejected patients’ claims without opening their files. “We literally click and submit,” one former company doctor said. (Published March 2023 w/ @capitolforum.bsky.social)

these are the sentences for 8 of the Prairieland federal trial defendants Judge Mark Pittman: Benjamin Song: 100 years Maricela Rueda: 70 years Elizabeth Soto, Meagan Morris: 50 years Judge Reed O'Connor: Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Autumn Hill: 50 years Daniel "Des" Sanchez Estrada: 30 years

Wow. Prairieland defendants being handed sentences between 40 and 100 years. For background on this case: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

Maybe the reason people struggle to name Starmer’s achievements but can readily recall this, his comments on cutting off Gaza, him kicking people out of his own party en masse, blocking Burnham from G&D etc. is because he made a loud performance of being a thoroughly nasty piece of work.

Finally finished my Ork battlewagon made from a toy truck, failed 3d print pieces, and assorted rubbish. Pretty happy with the result, even if my projects do tend to get completed on a geologic time scale.

U.S. Sen. Tim Sheehy has proposed eliminating the U.S. Forest Service’s airworthiness inspections for aircraft that fight wildfires. The idea itself could benefit Sheehy personally.

Same office that covered up prosecutor's crimes in the Broadview Six case just covered up a police shooting. Feds said a teen beat up a cop before he's shot. They have clear video evidence showing the kid just squirmed away from him. They hid it from the judge. Judge just set a sanctions hearing.

Keir Starmer and Joe Biden will both leave office among the most unpopular leaders in their nation’s histories. Surely there’s nothing to be learned here about where timid centrism gets you!

I’m sorry, no. This is not the guy who did the reflecting pool. No. Come on. We’re just putting a hat on a hat here. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

Today, there can no longer be any doubt that the chief purpose of Flock cameras and other surveillance systems is to pave the way for authoritarianism. In "Blinding the Cyclops," an anonymous researcher wages a personal war against surveillance infrastructure: crimethinc.com/blindingthec...

Israeli right wingers assassinated their own Prime Minister over a peace deal, what made anyone think this wouldn't happen.

This is such a big problem and GW don't seem to get it. Once again: -The rules should be free -The app should not be behind a paywall. -If not free, digital unlocks You'll still sell books and reference cards. People still like having those.

It's the perfect metaphor. Fix something that isn't broken. Ignore experts and scientists. Spend tons of public money enriching Trump's friends. Reveal the fix as superior. Watch in the following days as it immediately becomes extremely clear how they made everything worse.

If I were asked to be in a Christmas Adventurer's Club with billionaires who are obsessed with the Antichrist, I think I would say, "Not really for me, thanks" because I don't really think that's for me. (These stories are wild.)

I'm not remotely kidding when I say how dare that officer not turn the gun on themselves immediately.

Mississipi police officer shoots and kills 1-year-old baby in response to shoplifting call. "A witness saw two women exit the store: one carrying a single box of diapers, and one carrying the infant child." Video shows the car speeding away from, not towards officers, contradicting their story.

We are entering the "forced labor" stage of the concentration camps

Every Single Attempt To See What UBI Does Proves UBI Works But instead of using this information to do something, we keep repeating the test hoping for a different outcome.

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

I’ve been told by several people that this is actually okay and we need to get over it.

Really great how every single media company is going to be owned by 3 white guys all loyal to MAGA. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

"What do you rebuild in its place?" I don't know, fucking flowers? Wild grass? The overwhelming beauty of literally anything else? It's not just a metaphor, you have to destroy the surveillance palace that doubles as a fascist bunker if you don't want disconnection to be part of American governance.

The Knicks victory is generating so much passion and excitement that if it ran in a primary election, Establishment Democrats would not support it.

I'm the world's slowest Warhammer hobbyist, but I do love it. Been working on this thing for a while now and it is slowly coming together.

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

One year ago, Los Angeles bravely stood up to ICE, the police, and the National Guard. Remember—until then, many people said any kind of resistance would "give Trump what he wanted." In fact, the uprising helped to turn the tide against him. Fighting back works. crimethinc.com/LosAngelesJu...

The pedestrianization of Broadway through the heart of Manhattan just expanded, and it's glorious:

This is terrible, and I think it’s likely far from the worst thing that will happen in this World Cup. I think it clearly puts the team at a competitive disadvantage, especially for the match they have in Seattle. FIFA should have moved their matches to Mexico.

There is no technology that is safe for law enforcement to use, because law enforcement is fundamentally at odds with safety.
