Algorithm-generated garbage in, algorithm-generated garbage out.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

President Bystander stumped when asked about pardon he signed hours earlier www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Okay Bluesky is this pillow ugly or not ugly? Out of 3 people in our household, 1 loves it and 2 say it is hideous.

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

I'd love to see reporters reach out to the people running the Reagan Foundation to see if there's a gas leak in the building or www.reaganfoundation.org/about-us/exe...

Here’s a little joy for you because we all need it

Of course it's a drop in the bucket. But I don't want the idea of a privately-funded U.S. military to gain the least bit of traction - or precedent.

Something I say a lot is, "Let Black kids go to Narnia" as shorthand for, "There should be more stories where Black characters get to be centered in the magical adventures they've often been excluded from" so projects like this always make me so happy. I am looking forward to more from this team!

I think this is accurate and I'd expand it further to include the majority of wealthy Americans. Which tend to also be Conservatives. They don't have to be an actual adult until years past the rest of us and they resent that it ever happens.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

Schiff voted to confirm one of Trump’s judges roughly an hour before his account posted this.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

Yup. I was just explaining this to an in-law last week. People really don’t understand how much the social safety net keeps an entire economy afloat…but we’re all about to find out.

In case you missed it: a little noticed Florida state dashboard showed several instances of immigration enforcement arresting U.S. citizens. When the Miami New Times asked about it, most of those arrests disappeared from the dashboard and public view.

This is an utterly nonsensical way to report the really relieving news that Plaid Cymru, a party which espouses all sorts of liberal values including trans rights, etc. (and which isn't even mentioned in this headline!!!) won the election by a 47% landslide, well ahead of Reform as well as Labour.

Fuck ICE 🖕🖕

Just when I thought I'd become inured to it...

There’s no doubt that Republicans (and weak-ass Democrats) cynically capitalized on trans issues, but it wouldn’t have worked if the target audience weren’t unhinged morons.

Updating my LEGO White House

You know, whatever else there is to say about DC comics firing me, I have to say it felt deeply satisfying to tell a suit, "I get it, it's important to keep the faceless mob of Nazis happy"

“we’ve gutted our newspaper, chased off most of the talent, and turned our opinion page into a low rent WSJ clone somehow this is not attracting new subscribers, better gut it some more” what a disgrace

This is really cool: a guy found one of the original Cinemascope anamorphic adapters used to shoot 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA (1954), and that had been sitting in storage for 70 years, for sale on eBay bought it and shot some beautiful new footage with it www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg0f...

trump is demolishing our national symbols and selling the country for scrap to his corrupt donors

Trump promised in the summer he wouldn’t touch this. And then he bulldozed it. Just like he swore he knew nothing about Project 2025. And then he put its authors in charge. Just like he promised to lower prices. And then started a trade war with the whole world m. Please learn, guys. He lies.

Cuomo can say Kościuszko but not Mamdani?

Does it hurt less if you’re shot in the passive voice?

I see we're still doing nazi tattoo discourse and I just want to point out that working for Blackwater is also disqualifying

Read HER book!! BURN IT DOWN is crucial all the more in this age when people seem to have amnesia about why patriarchy is, like, bad and stuff

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

The Leverage actors getting on social media to swear they were not in Paris is the content we deserve.

LOL. It’s not hard to have candidates who are both anti-establishment and also not nazis.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

This shit is why I don’t trust Bernie or his bros.

Look if you aren't going to disqualify someone for having a Nazi tattoo (and you really should immediately disqualify them), consider the possibility that they are cosplaying as progressive only to turn full fascist once in office. It's not worth the risk, find another candidate.

When you see someone trying to be an apologist for Nazis or Nazism When you see people saying we need bad guys to beat bad guys BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY SHOW YOU WHO THEY ARE

I bought it on Sunday. $25 dollars going in the trash.

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

I love that we’re all unanimously like “listen that building is not sacred to me and it has a bloody history and if it came down ethically I probably wouldn’t shed a tear, but watching this man smash a wrecking ball into the side of it from sheer selfish malice has unexpectedly fucked me up”

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution

Are people aware that popcorn is made out of corn?

I may be broken. I'm still laying in bed twenty minutes after I should have been up. I can't seem to make myself move. Oh Monday, why so cruel?

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social
