U.S. journalism and punditry completely ignores the fact that the U.S. electorate belief system --including their belief of what Democrats stand for -- is shaped predominately by a massive right wing propaganda network across AM radio, broadcast TV, cable news, and the internet.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

Rowling and Emma Watson's argument is painful to watch😢 Good-hearted transgender people never intend to hurt anyone else. They just want to love who they want to love and live according to their soul's direction. Chiitan stands by the hearts of good-hearted transgender people. I love everyone

to win elections the democrats need to shift even more right than the republicans. that way they can capture moderates and conservatives. and the left should still vote for the democrats

Some are mad because people are on SNAP and not working. I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.

Old Soviet joke: Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three? One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

First of all, rude.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer 1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else 2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

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

There’s money to bomb boats in Venezuela. There’s money to give $50k signing bonuses to ICE & increase their weapons budget 700% There’s $40 billion for Argentina There’s money for military vanity parades. But there’s no money for SNAP, healthcare or housing. Got it.

I made an image of all the art posted by US DOL on X since approximately Labor Day

Every day, ICE employees wake up and give new people the motivation to go full "Liam Neeson from Taken." They haven't done it to anyone who has the ability yet. But they keep rolling those dice. And when it happens, no jury will convict that person.

🎵Take me out to the ballroom Decorate it in gold Find me some donors with lots of cash I don't care if the East Wing gets smashed Let me loot loot loot the taxpayers And spread around doom and gloom For it's 1, 2, 3 terms I'll spend In my new ballroom! 🎵

Bunch of white people in Maine choosing to not care about their friend's Nazi tattoo sure aren't helping us white people beat the allegations any time soon.

here’s a comic about ❤️being kind❤️

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

the last good president the United States of America had was Jessica Spaghetti, who i just made up right now this imaginary woman with basically just a name and a job defined about her and nothing else, is better than every other president who lived

As long as you don’t use an auto pen, it’s okay to have no idea whom you’re pardoning.

I just emailed Cuomo’s press person to clarify that he believes Mamdani would cheer for a 9/11-style terrorist attack. Stay tuned!

😭😭😭

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I'm an en-dash user myself – always preferred the one with spaces around it. It's just neater.

Please listen closely as our menu options have changed. Failure is not an option. Anymore. Why did so many of you choose it

also: I am a white man who has been terminally online since I was sixteen years old I even spent some time around 4chan in its early years it was actually quite easy not to have a nazi phase

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

So maybe letting one monopoly run most of the internet was a bad idea

I have a buddy who went Slash back in high school. Plays a mean guitar.

God, moving the TV outside so you can rip Marbs while drinking the lightest beers on the planet is such a weird version of masculinity

The left is melting down at the now iconic “diarrhea President”

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

it is my pleasure to report they are indeed mad as fuck on the other site over being blocked and ignored. keep up the excellent work everyone

you may find yourself behind the wheel of a vehicle women don’t like

block this shit

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Jesus Christ, this image completely sums up the current experience on Xitter.

Mr. Sargent again holds nothing back as he takes on the media's insistence on whitewashing and tiptoeing around the corrupt administration's true goals, and the way in which they refuse to simply call it as it is:

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

Found a photo of my parents taking me out trick or treating. Hard to believe it’s almost been a whole year.
