Anyways tell me again how we're being unfair to """Real""" Cops...

Police do not have a legal responsibility to protect the public. This was established in Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005). Given this, and the tremendous harm they do every day, what possible argument could one give for not abolishing the institution of policing entirely?

@democrats.org There is no retraining this. No reform. Demolish. I will not vote for, endorse, campaign for, or donate to any candidate or party that endorses the continued existence of the Department of Homeland Security. I will not vote for fascism. I did not stutter. I will not negotiate.

KIDNAPPED. You don’t arrest a child. The word you’re looking for is KIDNAPPED.

So nice of Pelosi to rush to make sure this one particular person gets released. Fuck you if you can't swing a bat good, and those children, off to the torture prisons you go.

This story gets worse and worse.

that's so unlike him

it is kind of jarring how quickly "you should come into your office job even if you are sick with a contagious illness" became the norm for so many offices after covid.

I'm increasingly convinced that if social media existed in the 1930s Germany, there would be endless videos of Jews being hauled out of their homes while people watched like this. People let this happen because they can't fight the state and it effectively encourages learned helplessness.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

Average fantasy romance reader.

TECHNOLOGY IS WHEN CAR THE MORE CAR IT IS THE MORE TECHNOLOGY IT IS ALL HAIL CAR

Iykyk, but the one thing I've learned about game dev very early on is that if there's a big controversial writing decision, the writing team will have flagged it, they were ignored, and they will be the ones blamed regardless

Just a casual reminder that yes, anger is the correct response here and no, you're not going crazy.

common elon lackey L

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

The banter on Bluesky today

This shits so fuckin accurate lmfao

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality. I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

this is especially true for people like me and others like me, where the risk of armament is greater than the reward, especially compared to human/soft skills of solidarity and coalition building

Remebered an old painting (in comment below) Got inspired #YautjaOC #OCart

Don't be shy~ For anon

i’m fascinated by this new strategy wjere multiple ai company CEOs have been going on tears tours this year so far complaining about how anti ai sentiment has hurt their businesses

now there's a man with his finger on the pulse mostly so he knows where to sink his fangs in but you know whatever

Let's assume that the skeptics were right and that Trump's threats toward Greenland were never serious. Allies are still noticing that Congress was willing to let the executive threaten a NATO ally. "Aren't you guys going to do anything about this?" remains the underlying trust problem.

I am so fucking tired of senior officials for government offices just calling us slurs, and getting absolutely zero pushback for it

Remember, it's not about finding a use case for ai, It's about the whole package. From theft of work to train, to unsustainable infrastructure built to destroy poor communities. It's bad tech and none of it benefits anyone but the shareholders. Reject the Slop

His name is DAVID EASTERWOOD and he’s not just “reportedly associated,” he’s the Acting Director of the ICE Field Office here. They want to be badass warrior spies with no mercy, no rules until they face the *tiniest* bit of accountability, then they cry like babies who got their juice box stolen.

"we as a people, not individuals, are done being used and abused by everyone. We've done everything they want and they still won't treat us as equals" !!!

"Look! A Man! Behold! It's a fuckin fatherless biped! just like you said! Lookie here! This what you wanted? This what you meant? It's a fucking chicken!!!! You're not thinking Plato you're not thinking! Come on man!"

casting Northernlion to play Diogenes

"Everyone hates you now" Fun fact: I have the kind of personality that already assumes everyone hates me. Checkmate, Europe

Trump is giving a deranged, rambling monologue in Davos to an audience stunned into silence. He sounds incredibly tired, his voice raspy; he keeps trailing off into long pauses. It's jaw-dropping. The sanewashing headlines are going to say "Trump Doubles Down On Greenland Demand In Davos Speech"

I love the various pride cloak names in SS14

one day it's gonna be real.

CONTINUE TELLING EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT AI IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER IT IS WORKING CONTINUE TO MAKE ART YOURSELF CONTINUE TO WRITE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ALIVE IS TO CREATE COOL SHIT AI STRIPS US OF THE POINT OF BEING HUMAN

They feel under attack because they are under attack

Unlike, presumably, enabling fascism which has famously never hurt any working people at any time, ever.

"your country voted in trump twice" ok? 75% of us didn't. our voting system is nowhere near as eclectic as it is around the world, maybe you should gain a better understanding of the economy.

I live in Texas. Oh no, somebody's going to hate me because of the politics of my elected representatives who I voted against. Gee, I've never experienced that before. How will I ever survive?

pro tip: you can use the money you'd usually waste on evil companies towards supporting your fave indie artists

and each other!!

wait til they learn how much we hate the government!

FUCK ICE FUCK ICE FUCK ICE FUCK ICE FUCK ICE

Yeah that's the thing They want to be the little brother beneficiaries of American aggression but only if we keep the rabid dog pointed at someone else

I'm just amused that Davos is the new UN, and that world leaders give back-to-back speeches like it's General Assembly week. Almost like capital rules the world order or something

I'll accept my personal responsibility for the failure of a democratic system that has been collapsing since before I was alive after europeans accept their moral failings for not tipping when they come here
