the AWS outage is affecting Ring doorbells. Sky News says “some users can’t see outside their house, definitely scary” just look outside your window 😅

With the AWS outage, now‘s as good a time as any to post this old strip.

Every AI Trump video

Funny, but something to consider: if cell phone cameras didn't exist, this choad would tell all the papers and news stations that he'd been jumped by Antifa. And they would have reported it as such.

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, This ain't no fooling around! 👏🏼👏🏼✊🏼

Bullseye. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Ever read "The White Plague" by Frank Herbert? This is terrifying.

New from 404 Media: the Discord hack is every users' worst nightmare. Yesterday the hackers started posting Discord users' selfies, identity documents, email addresses, phone numbers, more. I watched in real time. This is risk of tech storing ID for age verification www.404media.co/the-discord-...

"Respondents were given several options to categorize their relationships with AI other than romantic or intimate, incl platonic friendship, bus or work colleague, personal trainer, therapist, sibling or parent, among others." Someone out there thinks Grok is their brother and Claude is their dad.

Because you deserve nice things,one of my favorite wholesome videos. Today we celebrate Madeline Kahn on the 83rd year of her birth with her duet of Sing After Me with Grover. I honestly do not want to be friends with you if Madeline or Grover or Madeline and Grover together do not make you smile.

This Dallas Fed factory survey comment from someone in computers/electronics stands out: "I may have to close the company. Orders have stopped coming in, and we do not know why."

MAGA: why won’t the radical, lunatic, communist, America-hating, enemy of the people libtards stop calling us names?

One of the constant strands in the history of the university, dating back to its medieval origins, is the attempt of authorities - especially religious authorities but not exclusively - to control what can and cannot be taught.

Stephen Miran just gave a speech outlining the logic of his Fed vote. It's this: He assumes every cockamamie White House talking point is true, feeds them into a model, and out pops the massive rate cut the President demanded. He has unwittingly become a walking advertisement for Fed Independence

Think of an economy as like baking a cake. H1-B visas exist so that if you're out of a specific ingredient, you can Instacart it and keep baking. Add a $100k delivery charge and you'll choose to: 1. Quit baking; or 2. Use an inferior recipe; or 3. Import cake instead of making it

Celebrating the fifth anniversary of installing solar panels on our church. We produce as much power as is used in 5 homes each year, save money, and provide clean power at a discount to a non-profit partner through community solar. So much winning!

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

The United States is now North Korea, only with nukes that work and grocery stores full of food, but only if you have the money to buy it.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Today is the day of the special election to fill the seat of former MN State Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot by a right-wing extremist.

The two narratives about colleges right now are: 1.) College professors are so charismatic and convincing that students are completely hypnotized into doing whatever they want. 2.) Students are writing all their papers with AI because they don’t give a shit outside of a degree.

So after two straight days of Republicans saying trans people and the Left did this, threatening full on violence, it turns out the suspect is a politically unaffiliated white dude who was trained to use guns by his Republican law enforcement dad? Do I have that right?

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

Your daily reminder that US economic data is of extremely high quality even when compared to other advanced nations and the envy of the world

These guys are simply not smart.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

The other thing is that it is impossible to sanitize your own official language to satisfy right wingers, because their goal is to be upset by language. So they will just dig up an old Tumblr or fabricate something to get upset about

They gaslit you all throughout the election.

The One Ugly Distraction let ACA premium tax credits expire—jacking up health care costs for 22M Americans. In VA, a 55-year-old making $63K will pay $2,410 more just to keep their plan. Working families pay the price for GOP cruelty.

Grace just sent this me this tok of a woman accidentally recording her cat in slow motions, and I am SOBBING from laughing so hard

Here, fixed it.

The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.
