The New York Times Got Played By A Telehealth Scam And Called It The Future Of AI Since the New York Times published its semi-viral big profile of Medvi last week — the "AI-powered" telehealth startup that it breathlessly described as a "$1.8 billion company" supposedly run by just two brothers —…

Going to be thinking about this episode of @diabolicallies.skystack.xyz for a long time. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

The arrest rate among CBP agents is higher than the arrest rate among undocumented immigrants.

fucking horrible. V for Vendetta shit. hell is not hot enough

An observation I've been thinking about: Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

They are not hiring the best and brightest it turns out. Weird.

It’s impossible for these cowards to act in a manner that might actually improve our lives. It’s not rotten and corrupt from top to bottom, it’s just misunderstood and needs more rules they can ignore while continuing to murder

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

Holy crap chart from Gallup

Even being nearly impossible to avoid usage on most popular sites and apps this weekly number is crazy low. Even I’m shocked by the lack of demand.

It’s all I wanted too

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

republicans: we want the gestapo to terrorize racial minorities democrats: MAKE👏 THE👏 GESTAPO👏 WEAR👏 UNIFORMS👏

Shot + chaser

QAnon: The powerful pedophiles have invented elaborate codes to secretly discuss their crimes that require decades of interpretation Actual powerful pedophile: Hey Jeff hope this email find you well last week was great so when we meeting up to do pedophilia again

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Wasn’t expecting the Epstein scandal to blow up the New York Times but sure, why not

LESS. THAN. A. WEEK. Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop. I’m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

This conversation between ChatGPT and the young man it encouraged to commit suicide is just...my god www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Until SNAP is funded, here’s an ongoing list of Bay Area restaurants where SNAP recipients can receive free food. Just bring your EBT card!

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

“The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared likely to strike down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy by licensed therapists practiced on minors — a ruling that could affect similar laws in nearly half the country and make life more difficult for LGBTQ children at an already perilous time.”

Don’t worry, once we’ve helped them come for immigrants and trans people, they’re sure to be appeased and dedicated to solidarity in our great big tent and not come after anyone else, as history teaches

This is now the second attempted terrorist attack on the LGBTQ community in a week as "revenge" for Charlie Kirk. This follows an attempted mass shooting of a gay bar in Arizona. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Here is my piece on Thursday: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-weak...

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

As a recipient of lifesaving cancer treatment via clinical trial I can without hesitation state that I will never forgive these Dunning-Kruger fortified bozos nor any that supported them

"They give you food only once a day, food that even has worms in it," Izquierdo said.

(I would appreciate it if you shared this because it feels weird to write something like this and then have no one read it)

TPM’s @hunterw.bsky.social makes a convincing case - citing experts - that we should be referring to CECOT as a “concentration camp,” “penal colony,” or “permanent prison camp.” Based on its features (no due process, indefinite detention) he says: “President Trump is sending people to the camps.”

it worries me when the narrative about trump is that “it’s dumbasses that don’t know what they’re doing”. they know exactly what they’re doing. peter thiel is a close ally of trump and owns JD vance. peter thiel is a believer in curtis yarvin thought, which is 100% in line with what’s happening

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Also seems to me that we are definitely not expecting enough of our representatives if they are determined to keep those jobs into their 80s and 90s

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

one freddy krueger tongue please. extra milk. and an open-face cannoli

lol chefs kiss

Very cool Casey, sounds like OpenAI's agent thing is extremely stupid and sucks and doesn't do anything interesting, and is also broken. Sounds like a really "compelling demonstration"

The thing is it’s impossible to square the need to pardon your family out of fear of a lawless president with the need to attend his inauguration to preserve democratic norms. If you have to do the former there no longer are democratic norms.

Truly this is the worst timeline

It takes me more time to revise a generic chatGPT output than to just write something creative for an assignment on my own. It's not a good use of my time. Also, what it creates is very gameable by chatgpt because it is so generic.

Never has a crime so obscene been so confessed to, so endlessly, so shamelessly, so proudly

I made a thing! I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃 Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something

Read please and “fuck civility”
