I’d do it

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

This is the only strategically correct move. Every single person suggesting otherwise is dumber than they think they are.

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

I know that there is just so much going on in every direction, but it does really feel like we've reached a point of class divide where the people making Big Money Decisions are an alien species who can't imagine what the rest of us are thinking at any point.

This thread is so good.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

In case anyone forgot or didn't understand the reference www.wgbh.org/news/2017-10...

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Can all political events have tiny lecterns with adorable children?

How is she still only 24!!!

Every American needs to watch this:

Journalists at Washington, D.C.’s leading publication were not allowed to report on decisions by that publication’s leaders to lay off roughly 1/3 of the newsroom and shutter entire sections of the paper—decisions that will dramatically change news coverage in and of the nation’s capital and beyond.

Pour one out for we hunted the mammoth

every awful trend on the internet for the last decade came out of GamerGate and they were all readily visible from the very early days if you couldn’t see it you weren’t paying attention, and everyone who coddled the movement bears responsibility for where we are today

Every state needs to randomly select a sample of precincts for hand recounts. The selection should be done publicly/on video after the vote is in using a manual method.

it turns out that establishing “there is a global child sex trafficking ring with extraordinarily deep ties to one of the two major US political parties” as a discredited and vicious right wing attack meme was really convenient, huh? wonder what web forum that started on

Maybe it's time to make it clear - if you help fix the mistake whatever you have done will pale next to your heroism. If you don't help, we will not rest until you are punished.

Whether it's Democrats wanting the federal government to release the names of people who raped children with Jeffrey Epstein or Republicans wanting state governments to release the names of people who voted Democrat in 2024, both sides are seeking names for retribution.

Why not regulate the practices of how social media is addictive and polarizing? - reducing notifications - enforce time based feeds and active following as the default setting - add time blockers as default - algorithmic transparency to users and to the market -pagination

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Missing "Rise of the planet of the apes" which is my relevant to me only because one of my former coworkers went to see it and said "it had a real twist ending...." Just a reminder that you don't have to be smart to end up a VP of something.

Can we talk about "Set Your DVR" being the Chyron. Because... what?

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald. He nails it here, though.

"Don't forget to add the bit about people only having rights if they agree with what the government is doing."

They seriously overplayed their hand and totally underestimated the sentiment of Americans.

This absolute king.

SAVOR THE FLAVOR OF RESISTANCE Now with pina colada!

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Are we all kneeling for the national anthem now? Finally?

"It feels like we're performing CPR on a corpse: the US Constitution." Great line, & not from one of our so-called leaders but this random guy

Welp - remember all those times americans saved people in video games - We are now the people who we need to save people from. I want to see aggressive campaigns to rescue these people - get on it Democrats

I am not doom scrolling, I am hope scrolling. I am desperately looking for some good news. But it's very hard to find right now so I have to keep scrolling.

I assume @raygunsite.com is already printing "Deluded Wine Mom" shirts.

Whoa, someone just went ahead and summarized the nightmare we're in and how it's unfolding

quite the split screen here: NYTimes: Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise Wash Post: Trump’s bold capture of Maduro was a victory for America. What’s next?
