I can’t even with this. “Battleships”? “Golden Fleet”? Honest to Pete what is happening

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

i do not wonder what the alligator was thinking before it devoured a calf. i do not wonder what the black death was thinking before it infected a monastery. i do not wonder what the arsonist was thinking as he set an elementary school on fire. none of this is interesting. none of it is worthwhile

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”

Yes, and Google AI overview presented the Onion as a legit result. What's even funnier, when Google "patched" this occurrence, there was a forum where a post was making fun of it, quoting the "AI overview" and the new overview presented this quote as a legit result. bsky.app/profile/numb...

Once again media treats this deranged corrupt sociopath, like it's business as usual.

Honestly, the notion that adding Stephen Miller’s charisma and integrity would help the administration is what’s really delusional.

They tried to give the White House a comment and were rebuffed but Bari Weiss has Stephen Miller's personal cell number for some reason and he answers calls from her

And of course, for the 4,509,432 time, seeking asylum is not a crime!!!!! And they are migrants - because the have “migrated” to another country. There’s no qualifier unless you’re a racist.

Critical voices on the CECOT story, like Stephen fucking Miller.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me. Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

told my landlord he no longer has to apologize for being white and he lowered my rent by 25%. told the grocer it's now the trump kennedy center and he sold me potatoes for $1. told PG&E it's a christian nation now and electricity is free. try it sometime

doomerism is bad, but feel good pablum is also pretty unhelpful. we didn't just drift into cruelty and now we're drifting out. we're facing a vicious fascist movement with deep historical roots, numerous allies, and substantial popular support. 1

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Bari Weiss would have asked Eichmann to sit for a friendly interview before allowing an expose on the Holocaust to air.

support independent media. idk what else to say right now.

....I'm sorry what

Vance has charisma of the week-old roadkill. He will never make it.

The vast majority of Rep Ilhan Omar’s voters and constituents are white. Median income is $82k. Among the highest density of college grads per capita nationally.

Adding my voice as a non-Jewish person to all the Jewish folks saying WHAT THE FUCK, THIS IS FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE

Sounds an awful lot like a conspiracy to cover-up improper government actions. Good thing Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein had Ben Bradlee and not Bari Weiss - or we may never have known about Watergate.

making myself emotional imagining what it must be like for him to know he never has to be out in the cold ever again

hey this wound up in your hidden replies for some reason, just posting it here to increase traffic on the two-way street that is vital first amendment discourse

Amazing

Bari Weiss is just so fucking brave yall she just cares about having a solid debate

If they don't sanitize their input I wonder what else is possible.

Trump's in the Epstein files over 600 times.

It's not possible for my empire to have problems. My courtiers are always nervously smiling and telling me everything is great

I GOT MY FIRST COMMISSION and they tipped me so much I’m both scared and happy and and I feel unworthy but IM SO GRATEFUL 😭😭

Amazing work from whoever was up in N6914W over Ohio … www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated. Read more: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

Ominous clouds enveloping the harbor somehow maintain their beauty. — in Cape May.

Some of the best (I think) material in Five Came Back is there because a librarian saw what I was working on over 3 days and asked me if I'd like to take a look at a box of old George Stevens papers that had not been catalogued yet. So no, for a ton of reasons, AI cannot "do the research for you."

Wrong. The model for improvement is "Just add scale! It's always exponential!" That's simply untrue. It's been shown that scale limits for adding nodes and TOPS are already closer than horizon. Adding more data for research? From where? The world of electronically accessible text was already fed.

One thing I don't like about bluesky, and about social media in general, is that if you're just minding your business being a repulsive piece of garbage and trying to drive engagement by being obnoxious because that's your only viable option, people notice this and treat you like shit. Not fair!

Bari Weiss is really bad at her job, until you realize it's her job to be really bad at her job, in which case she is excellent at her job

I love how much happier he is doing these silly mystery movies and seeing himself as a muppet than he was being James Bond

Did you know that there’s machines now that can do 5,000 additions per second??! Automated language translation is just around the corner! AI bros overestimating computers and underestimating humans, since 1949.

Fascist activist Bari Weiss, recruited to align CBS News with the goals of American Nazism, again heeds the instructions of her boss.
