It would also not be okay for ICE to assassinate an immigrant

Danish guy gets it

War to Americans is an abstract, distant exercise. The last war on US soil was the US Civil War. The last attack by foreigners, even longer ago, about two centuries.

Median American voter: It's ok that he killed fishermen and slashed aid and medical research, but renaming a building is where I draw the line

It's your birthday, Duane.

The use of "nuclear" so flippantly by the only country to ever use nuclear weapons is.. Interesting

Was talking to a Gen Z colleague today and found out she DOES NOT KNOW WHO ELVIS PRESLEY IS. The world you were born in no longer exists, etc

As part of our equality and diversity initiative we will ask all job applicants their gender identity and sexuality as mandatory questions in the application form. And if they "prefer not to say" we will assume they are a minority 🙂

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

Those posts that are like "trumps approval is only 30%!!" really tick me off for some reason. Who cares? 50% of America voted for him just a year ago. Do you want elections every year? The only thing it proves is that Americans are fickle and their principles fly about in the breeze.

God, I hate this world order, it makes me sick. Americans re-elect the rapist clown and Africans and Asians die of thoroughly preventable diseases for lack of aid. Venezuelan fishermen get shot in cold blood. No one knows their names. Everyone else's lives are so cheap to you people, it's all a game

The only generation being brainwashed by AI videos is very visibly boomers

"Importance: High" is sending me

again I ask, what is the upside of this technology

If Altman or anyone at OpenAI had a shred of a conscience, they'd pull the product after the first death. We're at several now

Fucking hell man

If the American left wants to be serious about anti-imperialism I think they shouldn't consider military candidates at all. If a dude served in Abu Ghraib that should disqualify him even before he unbuttons his shirt to reveal his nazi tattoo

if you don’t spend several hours a day on your phone you’ll miss all the Crap and Bullshit

Last night was a movie that failed the Bechdel test

Oh no! Anyway

"doxxing" was named after the first person doxed, Robert Dox, 4520 Jacobs Ave, Belview, MN

For baseball's similarities with Test cricket, it doesn't seem to have an all-rounder culture (so far). In contrast, over 40 people have scored a century+5WI and four have century+10WM.

What did the previous two mass protests succeed at doing? Did they have any aims at all besides catharsis?

dudes rock

(Slow horses spoiler) The horses are slow

Didn't MAGA terrorists straight up assassinate a state house speaker hardly a couple months ago? Totally gone from the discourse cycle

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September

Neighbouring UK towns differ more in accent than entire regions of the US. This video's existence (+the reaction it's getting) is in fact evidence of the homogeneity of US English. In another generation this will no longer be possible.

call for no more papers

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

People thought conservatives would finally turn on Trump after the election denial/Jan 6. One by one they all fell back in line. It will be the same for Epstein

A lot of bad American takes on Palestine can be explained by their view where American Jews are American and therefore human, while Palestinians are foreign and therefore merely a theoretical issue to discourse over. So American Jews' feelings take the forefront.

Humans truly are all the same accros time and space :')

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

This sort of thing really puts the lie to the whole thing doesn't it. "Intifada" cannot be used due to the worst acts committed by some Palestinians. This same rule doesn't apply to "Zionism" though

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

i’ve been busy touching grass and i gotta say i think chronically online is the life i was actually meant for

If we're not supposed to drink the hand soap why does it come with a little straw?

I learnt that the Earth is round, and I thought that meant we were on the inside of a hollow sphere. The sky was the hemispherical upper part.

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

American solipsism makes me want to hurl. Why is your stupid election more important than doing everything in one's power to stop the flow of arms powering the Gaza genocide? The scare quotes here are particularly sickening. It's just a game to US libs. Fuck you, seriously.

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

"Antisemitism envoy" may be the only fake DEI job for chumps who do nothing

The next generation will absolutely not believe how good pre-AI Google was.

Thank fuck he's alive

I'm with liberals on this issue but they should really try not talking like this if they want to seem like the reasonable ones

TURN ON THE FUCKING NEWS IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT CHANNEL
