Gotta love the spammer who leaves in the ChatGPT response saying that it's coming up with a "professional, non-spammy" spam (which our spam filter correctly caught as spam).

🔥👇🏽 “Workers is better. Workers is honest. Workers does not ask permission. It names the labor, not the caste.” “We are not economic segments. We are workers. Parents. Caretakers. Citizens. Neighbors. People who want a fair shake. People who believe we deserve one.” Whew! Brilliant piece, Chris! 👏🏽

The press release says Google Cloud's Gemini for Government will be the first instance available on the internal platform. As we’ve covered, because Google search results are also consuming AI content that contains errors, it’s become nearly unusable for regular consumers and researchers alike.

are we still on about em dashes and ai. imo human writers should just use the em dashes even harder. we should be out here pummeling out those em dashes like we're emily dickinson

IYKYK

an unfortunately plausible interpretation of the Biden economy is "if you cut wage inequality very quickly then there will be a broad-based bipartisan mental breakdown"

Got a lil fired up 🤪

Making the world great again. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fuck, yes. If only canadians had any sort of gumption whatsoever, instead of our blithe, what-can-ya-do laissez-faire racist nonsense.

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her. How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck? if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere @safety.bsky.app

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

No, Apple, I’m not clearing stuff off my phone so you can shove eighteen goddamned gigabytes of AI trash into it.

Even when they were doing the right thing, we often have a vague impression surely anybody in the 19th C. must have still held views we'd consider bigoted by modern lights. In fact, many of the prime movers were overt racial egalitarians, and proudly understood that to be what they were enacting.

Like @prisonculture.bsky.social, I've been worried about the ways popular myths of the civil rights movement make it hard to see how to struggle today.

In a back channeled "offer" to the International Criminal Court, the United States proposed dropping sanctions on ICC officials if the Court •Dropped charges on Israeli officials and pledged not to indict anymore •Stopped investigating crimes in Afghanistan •Amended the ICC treaty the ICC said: no

Gramps here, lecturing leftists who say the Dems can't change that in 56 it was aligned with Southern segregationists (who got the VP noms), but by 64 with MLK, because of successful social movement organizing. Take the party over, leftists. Else you're not actually involved in US politics.

Gently reminding you all to not put things in writing that could get you a visit from the FBI

an IQ of 68 means you have some difficulty functioning independently and implies a pretty substantial impairment. for example it would leave you susceptible to believing things like "there's a country where the average IQ is 68. pic unrelated

It’s not too late! If you are looking for a liberatory Shabbat experience in Winnipeg, you can still join us tomorrow morning. Drop us an email at [email protected] before 4 pm today for all the deets!!

There’s truly something deeply wrong with these people: all of them.

in which a new york hasidic leader repeatedly and calmly reminds the interviewer that politics is in fact transactional

RT to scare a SuperPAC

I’m encountering more and more older people who have worked in creative fields in Britain for decades who gently take my hand and tell me to run, get out, do not work here if you can help it sweet child, fly away from this place and don’t look back

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

Alas, it was not

So about yesterday... DCWP announced a $39 million settlement that's going into the pockets of NYC baristas, PLUS both @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov joined us on the picket line. Name a more iconic day 🥰 nypost.com/2025/12/01/u...

Pete Hegseth: "You must blindly follow my orders unless they later turn out to be illegal, in which case they are your orders."

Every time you are tempted to scream at a Canadian about posting food pictures when "there are starving children in [wherever the inspiration porn charities told you children were starving when you grew up]", go schedule a volunteer shift at a food bank instead.

Today in extremely normal headlines

Labour has completely adopted right-wing framing on this and they set new unpopularity records seemingly every week, maybe some lessons there

America: Did you order the code Red? Hegseth: YOU’RE GODDAM RIGHT I DID! America: Uhm, it’s a crime. Hegseth: Ok, someone else ordered the Code Red.

The fucking nerve to turn in a paper literally calling your TA demonic. And then claim YOU’RE the one being persecuted?

A national scandal over some fascist Karen with less than 400 followers and both her and her daughter look as orange as the President? How about one of the big thought having publications write about the glory of Zhuge Liang's jihad against "AI", the boer, etc?

Publisher of Franklin the Turtle responds to Hegseth.

When I asked the old punk how Thanksgiving went she said her sister told her “if you love me you won’t talk about Covid or politics or any of that crap,” and the old punk explained that in response she told her sister “I try to talk to you about that crap because I love you.”

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

Gretzky's "I'm just a hockey player" schtick is a crock of shit. At some point you can no longer separate the hockey icon from his evergreen support for Trump: ICE and secret police raids, illegal renditions, military invasions of US cities, extrajudicial executions at sea. Fuck Wayne Gretzky.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

I get treated like that batty lady who lives in the woods and talk to magpies when I say this, but COVID is eugenics is fascism is AI. They can’t be extricated. And now the magpies have learned to say it, too, so who’s the loser here?

"These estimates suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%" Link: www.nber.org/papers/w34459

"The Portland Frog Calligraphy Artist" is a pretty cool moniker to be known by, IMO

Looks like Russia is about to declare Pussy Riot an extremist organization
