The characters are nothing but gratuitous eye-candy and ship-bait but sure, tell me again why minors should be allowed in the Alvin and the Chipmunks fandom

The newspaper that mainstreamed Chris Rufo, Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, and Charlie Kirk renews its calls to meet fascists halfway:

republicans: it’s inappropriate to call your political opponents nazis republicans in group chats: hey guys jim “the nazi” hitler here and yes i do have the mustache

blue maga again not beating the allegations

Liberals got really comfortable saying things like "Palestinian diaspora have too much empathy for their loved ones and that's a bad thing".

There is a certain clique of users here that love to use “Dearborn” as a pejorative.

So I realize I’ve reposted this all day, but I cannot understate the scale of this story. If Anthropic is spending this much on Google Cloud - or even 25% - the costs of running their business are never coming down. It’s a huge scoop, and the first real discussion of the true costs of AI anywhere.

I guess I just feel like it should be a bigger deal that Penske Media owns the Golden Globes and ALSO Rolling Stone, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, GoldDerby, and Deadline, plus 20% of Vox Media

genuinely incredible to encounter a 'millennials ruined ____' post in 2025. like meeting an uncontacted tribe

i can't help but feel kind of bad for the aging Xers they were raised by the TV, and now even the TV's abandoned them, as their parents still cling to power from their hospital beds. an entire generation cursed to never be politically relevant

I refuse to accept that people genuinely believe banning a set of footballer fans from a game because of their systematically racist and violent behavior is bigoted

If your "big tent" isn't big enough to include marginalised people then it cannot beat fascism because you're already embracing it. Sacrificing the vulnerable in favour of bigots is not a win and every time I see folks bitching about "political purity", I read it as "I got mine".

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

I literally see no one who isn't on the right depend political/ideological "purity" can people just admit they call certain political standards "purity tests" when they disagree with them?

If Keir starmer really wants to prove he’s not antisemitic he’ll riot with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Anything less he may as well be Hamas.

Conflating Jews with violent Israeli football hooligans seems like a bad strategy

A possibility: the brief moment of labor power during covid scared them so much that theyre uniquely susceptible to this particular pipe dream

Market irrationality: Falling rate of profit has had investors chasing bubbles since the late 90s. This is the newest and most inflated. Bond villainy: Tech oligarchs are willing to torch the planet and billions of us because they legitimately believe that AI will turn them into immortal gods

This is a good question and neither of my two answers, Market irrationality and Bond villainy, augur well for the future

I feel like if the people running the study never even contemplated the possibility of the most obvious result, the study probably underestimates how bad it actually is

ok like wrt like "leftists have a messaging problem leftists need to be nicer" it's like at some point what the fuck am i supposed to do for you bitch. you're a 37 year old college educated woman scared of mexicans and transexuals so bad u wanna kill them what am i supposed to say to you girlie pop

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more. Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages. It Was Never About The Hostages.

Dawg…

🚨 ‘SWASTIKA NAZI’ Positive ID as MARC MACLEOD of CITRUS HEIGHTS - ASATRU FOLK ASSEMBLY. ID confirmed through collaborating data collected by Antifa Sac, who has followed his activity for years! Info reposted by @anarchistfederation.net www.anarchistfederation.net/marc-macleod...

My mistake, you are correct! I generated the file, but I did not give you a download link — let me go get it for you [pretends to walk down stairs behind couch]

As I was saying

Translation: After we built an addictive tool based on stolen data, exploited labor and plundering the environment, which pushes kids to commit suicides, we were like, why not cash in on "erotica"? After all, this is what building so-called AGI that "benefits humanity" looks like.

It’s so great and normal that Israel can just pause and unpause ceasefire agreements in-between bombing Gaza It’s almost like Israel never respects ceasefires, neither in Palestine nor in Lebanon.

Saw someone say you shouldn't bring any flags except a US flag to a No Kings protest in response to a post about pro Palestinian protestors attending. Decided to click on the profile for fun and first thing I saw was a repost of someone bringing an Israeli flag to a No Kings protest lol.

Fascinating how the 13th secret rule was getting slowly poisoned by your daughter

*coming home after a long day of protesting against the president* haha that'll show those fucking commie bastards

Israel violating a ceasefire deal as a mob of Israeli settlers attack an American journalist and Palestinian grandma & an Israeli soccer match has to be cancelled because of violent fans is all the worse when you remember the deal calls to "de-radicalize" Palestinians and not Israelis

This motherfucker's entire political "philosophy" is just being constantly and performatively mad at Leftists he's conjured up in his blinkered lead poisoned head, huh

you liberals are addicted to being mad at the left, i swear

Come on Donny you can’t make it this easy

Extremely this meme

This is the thing I have the hardest time convincing people of even though the polls vindicate it: Mamdani's ability to distinguish himself from the rest of the pack early on with his position on Palestine necessarily entails a Democratic primary electorate receptive to his position in the 1st place

This btw is the way

they'll never understand what it was like for me to start out as a zero follower lowbie who knew nobody on the site. i had to toil in the posting mines for months on end as my vitamin d levels got dangerously low. i had to forge bait so good that terfs would try to call the british police on me

It's apparently perfectly fine for senior political journalists to call for the deportation of British Muslim politicians now, with zero consequences

hey @jbpritzker.bsky.social where the fuck are you? Mr. Big Talker can't get his own troopers to stop assaulting protestors?

10 months in and we're getting drunk SS members asking local cops if they're Haitian

Most of us technical analysts, engineers, architects, and consultants can’t stand AI— largely due to the fact we understand it so deeply. Not only is it highly inaccurate due to its non-determinism, it’s also dishonestly marketed, has tons of copyright issues, heavily contributes to pollution, etc.

As an engineer - please hear the engineers in this thread that AI is deeply related to misinformation, and that the attitude you're taking here is part of that It's understandable that you believe what you do - I'm not trying to insult you. I'm hoping you'll hear experts in this who want to help

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

powerful people have convinced millions that what matters isn't the fact that the environment and their lives are being destroyed in order to enrich for a handful of sociopaths but whether or not Dark Souls Clone #7,322 is woke
