Demolishing the White House is the perfect metaphor for the Trump administration.

guy who brought the trans flag we iwo jima’d described himself as “yeah i was pretty neutral about trans people, think i still am honestly, but these people are being so goddamn weird about it that i gotta get off the fence”

LMFAO

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.” Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Y'all are getting hoodwinked if you think this is anything beyond a reaction to the last person he spoke too. Listen to the actual audio, it starts: Q: "A few weeks ago you talked about ending the war in Ukraine because it might help you get into heaven. How does this help? does this help?

the choices arent dont enforce immigration law or what ICE is doing

Is it Glonzo or is it Johnson stabbing Thune in his filibuster protecting neck?

Yes, yes! Ruin her over 4 year old footage. That's right. We let men get away with far more but sure let's make sure to spread this far and wide so everyone in California knows how much shit they get to eat come next November..

People keep saying that Trump is prosecuting his political enemies but that’s not what this is. She’s not a political enemy, she’s a prosecutor who charged and tried a criminal. The criminal got away and now has the power to exact revenge. A mobster ordering a hit. That’s all this is!

Are white parents sending their kids to school with their passports, in case of an ICE raid? It’s weird how everyone knows exactly what is going on, but few are calling it out for what it is.

I wonder if they have the pardon papers and auto pen with a backdated timestamp already set up for when he kicks the bucket or if that's gonna set off a huge wave of panic and backstabbing.

Thank you all so much. 💐

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

Remember Wikileaks? That website that was very much earnestly concerned about government overreach and abuse and not just an op?

This is a must-read

Oh cool. Our discourse du jure is now "what constitutes a death threat" This is a fantastic topic that I'm sure everyone has a complete and total grip on and something that will be very fruitful to discuss. Make sure to keep the windows and doors closed to keep ICE, NG, and O2 at bay.

Can we lower the flags for Jane Goodall?

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

which way agi enthusiast?

But y'all dont wanna have that discussion 💅

At the end of the day the logical conclusion of anthropomorphized large language models is pointing out the folks creating and using them are doing something pretty despicable and People for the Ethical Treatment of Large Language Models should be up their asses about it.

that's a powerful frog!

Notice they stopped clapping when he said this quote. I'm all for making him look foolish but let's hear the actual applause line, @atrupar.com

Now you're agreeing that yes, obviously that's homemade Family Guy edgelord "I'm not actually touching you" bullshit and the issue of whether generative AI constructs should be thought of as beings with intrinsic self worth is conveniently left by the wayside

Then someone will show up to point out that they're only arguing that using derogatory terms for LLMs clearly derived from existing ethnic slurs reveals a desire to use those actual slurs - the motte to the original bailey

For instance you might notice some discourse and point out that LLMs are not sentient beings with inherent self-worth (or any true "self" at all) and thus cannot be subject to eugenics and racism.

The way internet discourse takes place across many parallel discussions simultaneously tends to (perhaps inadvertently) create motte-and-bailey fallacies that are frustrating to deal with.

This entire nonsense conversation would be better suited if it were about Earth visiting aliens instead of spreadsheets we're actively trying to animate

"Only the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities." 31 USC 5114(b)

I mean, like, we absolutely positively do not need this. In many ways that is the opposite of what is true.

Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

(solemnly) You've had mail.

If the President of the United States can assemble all of his commanding officers and describe his plans for prosecuting a military conflict against US cities without drawing even an ATTEMPT to impeach him under the Constitution’s explicit definition of treason, the legislature are all oathbreakers.

its not ragebait

The Trump administration's homelessness plan is that they are going to produce more of it.

Why the fuck is Ezra Klein so damn ubiquitously obsessed over. This is worse than Trump. Shun that damn nerd. He is not important and you all ned to stop making him so.

Ever the victim, the maga "jokester" won't lose her license or job over speech fantasizing inflicting patient pain over politics but nurses that cracked a Charlie Kirk joke can't be trusted with their duty of care.

Every day we see political violence enacted on camera by lawless goons with badges. But none of these victims are podcasters or politicians so the chattering class doesn't have much to say.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I’m begging America’s leaders to read this important treatise on negotiations and when to say “no.”
