Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

This lady was the Steve Jobs of the Online Death Threat Industry for like 10 years. Not to be a dick, but fucking spare me.

We got Weird Al out here singing Killing In The Name, the time for moderation is over

This is an excellent and necessary use of Holocaust analogies. Like, sometimes you should avoid Holocaust analogies. But not in this case. This is right on.

Senate omertà mostly kept Democrats from ripping into Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto over this even though Rosen and CCM's reasons for opposing Mangi were so ludicrously racist they wouldn't put their names to them in public until an angry Biden administration called their bluff

They get off to violating the consent of others. Not more complicated than that.

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests. Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here." It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

I have gone from having no opinion on Bush’s Baked Beans to a negative opinion on Bush’s Baked Beans

wow... it's almost like the HRT is a medication these people need

Why have so many corporations lined up to donate to Trump’s ballroom project? Because in Trump's White House, everything is for sale — even the building itself. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nbf6BJzpk1E

posting this kind of blatantly racist shit to a government channel should trigger trials with penalties of capital punishment. i’m not joking or exaggerating.

You only use the presumption if there's no evidence to support whether it's true or not!!!! You don't need to PRESUME good faith when there's evidence they did NOT act in good faith. Insane logic

Columbia University is helping a government filled with literal Nazis to reward millions of dollars to Zionists who oppose free speech against genocide:

Tom Cotton openly admitting the US will commit war crimes. Not a surprise we do, but now we admit we don't have to follow our own laws

I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."

Don't buy anything HP-related. If you do you own this;

never been prouder of @scottcollette.bsky.social slop not from the humans, for the humans slop also into you

Y'all are messing with much too dark of magic! This is Cubs winning the world series level dark pact making. The sickos guy is shaking his head and backing away from the window

Quick explainer as to how I can root for Duke football in the ACC championship game:

Wonder how folks involved in the boat strikes feel about a successor administration declaring presidential pardons invalid.

You should write a book about it

3/ In every country we reported, Trump's health budgets have been a crisis of LGBTQ *employment*. HIV is a slow-acting virus & while "the cuts" have caused death, overwhelmingly, the biggest and fastest form of harm has been Black & brown LGBTQ people losing work theintercept.com/2025/12/01/w...

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties

This is extremely bad and worrisome for obvious reasons, but it's worth pointing out that this was obviously the student's goal She knowingly wrote a garbage essay for her trans prof's class and when she obviously got a terrible grade stirred up a media storm This was clearly the intended outcome

As former Bush OLC leader Jack Goldsmith writes, the DOD manual prohibits killing shipwrecked enemies. If reporting is correct, killing helpless men clinging to boats was a war crime.  open.substack.com/pub/executiv...

conservatives basically want to implement the caricature of affirmative action for conservative students. acceptance without meeting qualifications, good grades and degrees without having to do the work.

this is why people very far into the upper middle class should support building out a proper welfare state like @reprashida.govpeeps.us proposed the other day. you'd pay just a little for a tremendous amount of material security www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/11/20/r...

oh they gave me a blue check now I can say how I REALLY feel!!! trans rights free Palestine housing is a human right universal health care for all six hour day for eight hours pay mandatory minimum wage raises that track to rent & cost of living protect the oceans & the rivers and bring back Jujubes

GET RID OF HIM

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

The reason people don't like conservative students is that whenever they're inconvenienced or annoyed they throw a tantrum and call in national media to terrorize their peers.

Amen to this. Time for establishment Dems to suck it up and start getting behind policies that win like universal healthcare, trans rights, free Palestine instead of continuing to hold out for racist or bigoted candidates that match their beliefs

GOOD. BETTER. BEST.

Thankful you held on for over a year to spend more time with us after your cancer diagnosis. Miss you every day buddy.

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

thinking of her today

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

oh are you going to crack down on muslim immigrants and refugees? what would that look like? blackbagging people off the street, sending them to foreign dungeons even though they have lawful status? wow that would be an insane thing to do all right

part of the problem with the flood the zone strategy is sure, were all just numb to the graft and cruelty now, but also, what else can you really threaten to do now? you've already given in to every horrible impulse. you're commiting murders daily, oh are the gloves going to come off now

weren't they doing this anyway? maybe this is overly cynical on my part but I just assume any non-south african refugee, afghani or otherwise, is and has been in serious peril now

Sometimes I see someone complain about a 10 hour day and I have to remind myself that my 14-21 hour days are neither normal nor healthy. But this guy? Most the snap recipients he hates work more in a month than he has all year

Need my fellow AI Neoluddites to rise up. The Luddites were right then and we're right now ✊
