That's not 'generalizing' – that's racism.

"Give our party enough votes to remove this old asshole (and get your gas prices back to normal)" has to be good for a supermajority result

It’s been an unacceptably long time since I mentioned this so fuck this bigoted old shitbird and fuck all you shitbirds out there who support him.

Priorities.

Bacon is remembered for making a strong case for formalizing how people should investigate nature but there’s little discussion of the fact that he firmly situated his framework in a belief that man’s role (and he meant men!) is to dominate and exploit nature

I watched the launch and was as usual emotional because it’s such a scary and hard thing to do. And right now I’m thinking about the big claims being made, that this is an advancement for all of humanity, and Francis Bacon and his commitment to imperialism and the colonial aesthetic of his method

Michael Banks, current Chief of U.S. Border Patrol, makes the 83rd sexual predator on our ICE/CBP Sexual Predators list, with today's bombshell investigation exposing Banks's sex tourism travel to countries like Thailand and Colombia.

Hi there, I'm Barbara and I work on the Artemis II Lunar Science team. I'll be here for a couple hours while watching the preparations for launch and happy to take your questions! www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBM...

Just so everyone knows, the Solicitor General straight up lied about the 1921 law review article he kept talking about. quick thread:

Trump is going on national TV tonight to look the American people in the eyes and say "two weeks"

suspect this may be one of the things where they give a plan emphasizing the costs and risks in order that it doesn't get done; the problem is this president is Donald Trump

If you liked the eel life cycle map I posted the other day, and you want to know more about how/why I drew it, I've written about it over on my patreon. It's free & public, so give it (and my other posts!) a read if you're curious about what goes into making maps. www.patreon.com/posts/slip-s...

Are you worried that merchants are trying to sneak unfit eels into your town? Should you be? This was an ongoing concern in medieval London, & so the city had customs workers who unpacked, inspected, & repacked all suspicious barrels of eels. Which, really, is not a great job. 🗃️🧪

If the stakes weren't so high and the human toll wasn't so awful, it would be genuinely very funny how little of a shit Trump gives about any part of his job that isn't renovations or rigging elections. The most obviously checked out dude in history.

Everyone needs to just keep repeating this, over and over. The politics of a case is NOT JUST ABOUT THAT CASE. There is a meta-game here too. This case is surely going to be used as cover for gutting the VRA. And too many pundits are going to fall for it.

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.

Companies are using AI to determine the minimum pay you’ll accept. Experts describe “surveillance wages” as a system in which wages are based not on an employee’s performance or seniority, but on formulas that use their personal data. Source: Washington Center for Equitable Growth

The Moon and The Sea, two ancient goddesses that I love and honour and delight in and absolutely will not be caught fucking with

14th Amendment (1868): “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Seems pretty clear to me.

curious!

If you can’t see that Putin benefits from all this, and that it likely is no coincidence, we’re not even sure what to tell you at this point

We couldn’t have hoped for a better advocate than @aclu.org National Director Cecillia Wang today in the SCOTUS, arguing against Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship. If there’s any fairness left, this wil be a big win for democracy, citizenship, & the integrity of the 14th Amendment.

This is absurd.

Just a reminder that the senator who sponsored the bill which became law with broad bipartisan support that states a president cannot pull the US out of NATO without congressional approval was … Marco Rubio.

Bottom line, I think this backfires. Roberts and Gorsuch will not like this. Brett will be too hungover to care, and Amy will act like she doesn’t know what’s really going on, but Roberts and Gorsuch will actually be *insulted* by this shit and they’re both petty enough to act like it.

The thing really pissing me off is that you only do this if somebody on your team (Miller) tells you showing up and trying to intimidate the justices might work. It won’t “work,” he’ll win or lose regardless. But somebody thinks it could, and that’s WHY he’s doing it. The goal is ALWAYS… ruinous.

There’s also a non-zero chance that Trump shows up with Roberts’ brother or nephew or some shit, the way Michael showed up to Frankie Five Angels Senate testimony with his brother.

Roberts and the Republican justices deserve every bit of this fucking circus since this case should never even be here.

Great outcome, but the quotes from the pissed off evangelicals are exactly what you’d expect: inability to see any other religion as valid, with a splash of antisemitism. Hope this holds.

Pete Hegseth’s broker tried to line up a multimillion-dollar investment in defense companies just weeks before the US –Israeli attack on Iran. Now it’s blowing up on Hegseth. 🚨 Today House Oversight opened an investigation & wants answers from Hegseth, plus execs at Morgan Stanley and BlackRock.

I recall, from early childhood, my very Irish-American grandfather (born here but his family had gone back for a bit & he spent about 4 years in Sligo after the civil war) providing a frame of reference for the man for my very Jewish grandparents by comparing him to, you know, Hitler.

This is excellent.

Stephen Miller demanded that ICE-holes “force confrontations” with protesters because “anti-ICE could not be viewed as successful.” He repeatedly said that protesters “need to be vanquished by any force necessary.” Later, ICE-holes murdered Alex Pretti. #ProudBlue #StephenMiller #FuckICE #AlexPretti

It is really, really wild how persistent and prominent this remains in common LLMs. There seems to be an air of "well they fixed that" and it is 100% not true: most of the energy just seems to be going towards 'being plausible enough to be accepted', ie style and not accuracy or truth

i appear to have asked a question akin to "how do Rebel Alliance schoolteachers feel about Darth Vader?"
