Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

My kids were playing with another group of kids in our condo complex. One of the other kids asked, sweetly “do you go to church?” to which my 4-year old proudly responded “we go to Costco!” Silently, internally I said “good answer bud.”

it's fake but... if you're listening John Costco, it doesn't have to be

"He's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone" is a very good line of attack against Trump.

NPR finally waking up to the BREAKING news that all racists are also misogynists: www.npr.org/2026/05/27/n...

recession indicator: the 405 was pretty clear on a non-Coachella non-holiday weekend

“Everything costs more and that’s a good thing” is a CRAZY economic message from the White House

This answer alone should destroy this administration. This conversation is essentially: “people are hurting.” “ceos are fine.”

This is the arts patron equivalent of waiving your right to an attorney and representing yourself

Trump is now back to attacking the Pope. He’s not beating the antichrist allegations.

none of this would be a problem if ppl had just discarded graham platner the second his nazi tattoo was revealed now maine is essentially stuck with him that's how liberals do. they excuse 1 thing, then another, then another, then another, and then you're just stuck with the absolute worst option

Wait wait wait, Platner is a creep who disrespects his wife? The slur guy? The mercenary? The guy who loved doing imperialist violence? Are you sure? The guy who pretends to be a working class common joe whose excuse for his nazi tattoo was that he's very stupid? That guy? No. Don't buy it.

The way these "AI checkers" work is very, very simple. It feeds part of the text into an LLM. If the LLM predicts, correctly, the missing text, it scores that as proof the LLM produced the text. And LLM's literally stole *every fucking book and forum post ever fucking written* to train on.

The last 10 years in a nutshell: Nazi: I’m a Nazi! Media: Outspoken Man Touts Unconventional Ideas Nazi: No, I’m just a Nazi. Media: Meet the Dapper White Nationalist Who— Nazi: No, seriously! I’m quoting Mein Kampf! I love Hitler! Media: Why Both Sides Have an Extremist Problem.

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

i've said this before - but this current war on trans and LGBTQ+ people in general is a stealth war on the youth (who are more openly queer/trans) in my opinion

let's be clear, let's be very clear, let's be incredibly clear about something: Marcia Lucas is why you love Star Wars. She's why Star Wars worked. She's why it has heart. She's responsible for the in-media-res beginning, she's responsible for basically everything charming and unique about >

Looks like this guy is getting Broadview 6’d (leaving the case in the hopes the judge doesn’t find out what he did to the grand jury).

Anyways…

reminder to games people that (a version of this issue I've seen up close multiple times) whenever you're dealing with a large company nothing the people you're talking to say will help you after different people wind up in their jobs who will do whatever the paperwork technically allows them to do

Tom Steyer being full-throated in his support of trans rights and trans athletes pushed me off the fence. Of course I'm concerned about voting for a billionaire but who the hell else is doing anything remotely like this right now?

I really cannot overstate how good employees - especially tech employees - are at optimizing for whatever metric you are paying attention to, performance-wise you had better make good and fucking sure you want a lot of something if you’re going to put up a damn leaderboard

Steam capsule and other stuff done, steam page will be on soon! ^^ Thanks @goblinn.bsky.social for the beautiful art!

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case! Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined Kudos to our wonderful client @repbeatty.bsky.social & my colleagues @democracydefendersaction.org & Washington Litigation Group This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

You ever feel like a guy should maybe just stop talking

suddenly feeling a lot better about my screen time

enough shai hulud, would you still love me if i was confident hulud?

live your life in such a way that you would not disappoint Guillermo Del Toro

I think if Guillermo del Toro subtweeted me I would walk into the ocean immediately

asked a simple "who is donating to your campaign" and the man goes into a full vaudeville-routine collar-pulling flop sweat

have we considered that flo rida and vanilla ice might be locked in a deadly game of chicken where both performers have their entire net worth tied up in elaborate parallel kalshi bets that they will be the last act to drop out? I am asking us to consider it

This is how Trump’s racist reactionary policies are going to be pocketed by people who don’t really oppose them outside of the crude nature of its implementation.

Some will frame this as "bullying works", and I feel that is deeply disrespectful to why people were upset in the first place. It's not bullying to say you felt betrayed because the person you respected said one thing and did the exact ass opposite of another. Calling out hypocrisy isn't bullying.

Former "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft: “There is no smoking gun. But [Donald Trump’s] fingerprints and DNA are all over this. He’s been making threats against ‘60 Minutes’ and how he wanted it gone. And he finally got his wish.” Read more in @status.news: www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

Democrats self-sabotaged in 2024 when they stopped talking about these guys as the weird perverts and assholes that they are. Most of the country sees people like Stephen Miller and think they're gross monsters. They will always respond well when leaders/institutions that affirm their gut vibes.

im not gonna say this was what made Gutierrez cahnge his mind but i will say if Guillermo del toro called my ass out for something i did id probably reevaluate my whole life.

This is good news. Glad the message got through to him.

4 Down. Still no tic tac toe.

if you're seeing this, it's time to register for #SGDQ2026 gdq.gg/sgdq-2026

Argentina you say?

You see commentaries all the time arguing that Democrats need to moderate or tack to center, but you never, ever see anything like that for Republicans. And I think that reveals 3 different but interrelated assumptions we've all internalized without much critical thought:

Saw some goober on linkedin being like "I'm pulling up stakes, selling everything and taking my truck and RV trailer out across america to work remotely wherever I please!" and like, buddy, helluva time to be burning through what I assume is a severance on gasoline...

has this story broken through at all? i can’t tell.

my kids are going through a serious Toy Story phase, the toddler especially loves Woody (pronounced "Boody") but whenever he's not on screen I get asked "Where's Boody?"

Look who sold out.

SO CLOSE

my god

For those who forget, a jury ruled that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll decades prior. Now that rapist is further punishing his victim. At what point do we start fighting for what's right and impeach and convict this piece of shit?
