People who couldn't handle the mild inconvenience of social distancing are somehow going to endure the far more immense disruption of getting randomly shot by their neighbors? Sure, ok 👍👍

We told you AI was a tool of fascism.

He lied. All this other verbiage is unnecessary. He lied.

I partially think Team Trump is attacking Somalis & Minnesota because it’s such a perfect example of the greatness of immigration. A group totally embraced by a community and region and thoroughly successful.

Researchers at Texas Southern University have analyzed demographic data around the locations of almost 100 industrial facilities proposed statewide and found that about 90 % are located in counties with higher concentrations of people of color and families in poverty than statewide averages.

After the recent joy of Hard Boiled in a packed theater it hit me that one of the tragedies of capitalism’s manifestation of our tech age is that on top of imprisoning us in gilded cages disconnected from shared reality, they are transforming communal experience into an expensive, uncommon novelty.

Well this fucking says it all, don't it

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

The intention I think is to pollute everything that is peaceful, shared, and clearly understood, by mixing it with violence and ugliness

A horrifying CNN investigation reveals how Israel buried hundreds of starving Palestinians some of them alive using bulldozers and unmarked graves.

😩 I wish I couldn't believe this, but here we are.

Idiocy. Bigotry. Cruelty.

A+. Perfect. 10/10. No notes.

The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel voted to change the recommendation for a child’s first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine. Instead of a first dose within 24 hours of birth — the protocol for more than 30 years — the panel voted to recommend delaying it until two months old. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans

One thing you can absolutely bet on -- if I had stopped multiple wars, I'd sure as hell remember how many wars I stopped and that number wouldn't change every time I brought it up.

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

An American journalist helped facilitate RFK Jr's ingratiation into Trump's world and kept secret disqualifying information on him that could have kept him out of major policy, which impacts millions of people.

I was told everyone was leaving. @fortune.com #NYC @wutangforchildren.bsky.social fortune.com/2025/12/04/m...

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud. In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that. What a confession.

It was never about the bathrooms...😒

The in-development Monopoly movie about to go crazy

BREAKING: Insurrectionist who planted pipe bombs in Washington DC during Trump's lie-based coup attempt is a Trump supporter who believed Trump's lies and used violence to try and advance his attempted coup. Once again, it turns out to be exactly what it looked like.

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with. It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.

Maybe they’ll put all of Ben 10 back on streaming platforms.

The difference between Cassidy and most other Republicans is that he knew exactly what he was doing to millions of Americans' livers and health in general, and did it anyway.

More proof of what @prisonculture.bsky.social says that most people in this country have no idea what's going on: Yesterday two different clients told me they wanted to take their cases to the Supreme Court because they knew there was still a liberal majority.

Punish em all: www.jphilll.com/p/ai-and-the....

I love companies being punished for replacing workers with AI. Gimme more

these people aren’t “visionaries” they’re drunken blackjack players with a self-replenishing pile of chips and a bunch of sycophantic dopes saying shit like “splitting 10s is genius sir”

Again: the Purpose of LLM- type "AI" bullshit engines is not to tell you the truth or to lie to you, but to tell you something you are statistically determined to be more likely to accept, irrespective of facts— which makes them perfect for accelerating dis- & misinformation & persuasive propaganda…

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

"If you’ve ever wondered how a Trump speech might read with all the rapier sharp wit and easy charm stripped out, I can heartily recommend the Tucker Carlson piece published by the Spectator last week..." Why, to mangle a quote from a work of great American literature, are they so obsessed with us?

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

The damage this Administration is causing and the war crimes they’re committing are doing generational damage — make America great, my ass.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

"As far back as September, defense officials have been quietly pushing back on criticism that killing the two survivors amounted to a war crime by arguing...they appeared to be radioing for help" society must discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities www.cnn.com/2025/12/04/p...

A Mexican woman was grabbed by ICE right after a c section. She was suffering eclampsia and other complications, and her baby was alone in the NICU They wouldn’t even give her a breast pump She has a pending visa for victims of violent crimes… and then ICE committed a violent crime against her.

TLDR: SCOTUS rules, 6-3, that racial gerrymandering is totally okay when Republicans do it. And if a district court suggests otherwise, they were dumb and too mean to Republicans (specifically “not presuming their good faith”).

literally 'the court responsible for fact-finding should have just assumed nicer things about the government instead!' 🥴

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Yet again: this SCOTUS, in important respects, is not a court. Courts decide on the basis of evidence. Appellate courts decide on the basis of lower-court fact-finding & the record. This SCOTUS doesn’t even pretend. It makes up its own facts, & to hell with the trial judges.

I quite literally won’t buy a gelatin snack food with this fuckin guy’s name on it but yeah sure go ahead and give him all your money to play with.

There’s also something especially crazy-making about SCOTUS’s “eagerness to playact a district court” (Kagan) in a *shadow docket* decision that doesn’t really engage with the facts at all. The gap between the professionalism of the district courts and SCOTUS’s arbitrariness couldn’t be more obvious

I realize everyone knows this, but you'll note that what he saw was two survivors trying to flip a boat over. Which is a thing literally fucking anyone in a shipwreck would do. The other stuff he said was fanfic he made up about them.
