people who watch/ listen to stuff with their phones on speaker on the subway are history’s greatest monsters

Point to every terrible thing that Republicans have done and every institution that they’ve used to enact their agenda, and behind all of it you’ll find the complicity and active support of Democrats.

Think I’m done for the night.I really need a new book.Nothing in my to read pile is grabbing me atm.

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

Pam bondi is stepping dow

I will repeat this again and again: Israel’s goal in Lebanon is to destroy the country itself. Israel is targeting Lebanese Shias - a war crime - to push for civil war in Lebanon

Liberals say shit like this and what they mean by ride to battle is vote

The Metropolitan Opera: We stand with Ukraine and will remind you at just about every performance. Also the Met Opera: Genocide enthusiast and notorious Vichy Democrat Chuck Schumer helped us fund elevators and here's his photo on social media that's getting ratioed into the sun. #operasky

This is what the US should be bombing.

Happy Pesach! While you're busy searching the house for hametz and chopping up apples for charoset, please enjoy this absolutely unhinged illustration of the 4th Plague (wild beasts) from the Sarajevo Haggadah (from 14th-c. Spain):

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Israel is so emboldened that it’s making its calls for ethnic cleansing in Lebanon VERY specific. Gift link:

Because they approve

This is an obscene policy from an obscenely rich school. Shame on Yale and shame on Yale College Dean Pericles Lewis. yaledailynews.com/articles/yal...

"Mass immigration is good, socially and economically; is the single most significant factor in America’s current position as the global locus of commerce and culture; we’ve been lucky to have it; and we should want more," writes @felipedlh.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

Explain to me who "the worst of the worst" are. Immigrants? Minorities? People protesting against genocide? Because clearly you're OK with ICE going after *somebody*!

I think this is right. China is all-in on solar, batteries, etc., while the U.S. is absolutely refusing to leave the 20th century. Once you dig up and burn a barrel of oil or a ton of coal, it's gone—you've gotta dig up more. Solar panels will produce power for decades. We're going to get wrecked.

This is the shitty, lazy liberal imperialism the Democratic Party must be forced to disown. Our soldiers have agency and do not, in fact, have to commit war crimes. They do so because they want to and they do not consider the massacre of brown people overseas a negative.

She's runnijg against the imperialist footsoldier with the Nazi tattoos, Mainers!

"human slop" lol

"Only Justice Jackson dissented." JFC. The betrayals are fucking endless.

If you fantasize about sexually harassing and abusing teenagers you're a pedophile unless of course you're doing it to make them straight and cis, in which case that's protected speech

Whenever I travel abroad, I'm shocked at how comprehensive, inexpensive, and efficient public transportation is. Why? Because it's recognized as a public good that should be heavily subsidized and not as a business that needs to make money.

"we hear you saying you absolutely do not under any circumstances want this AI clownslop and we promise we are working on solutions to make this AI clownslop even better so it can do even more things that you never wanted done!"

Terrible answer from Beshear www.politico.com/news/magazin...

It’s very funny to include the “far left” here when the DSA mayor of New York City just ran an entire campaign on affordability and making cities work while his main opponent ran on Israel, a country almost 6,000 miles away

This press release sure seems like the Marines warning undocumented family members of their latest class of recruits to avoid the graduation ceremony in order to keep themselves safe from immigration enforcement.

if a leftist says he's anti-zionist because of the war crimes of a sovereign nation the times will suggest he is an anti-semite. if a conservative says that he is "j-pilled" the times will say it's about foreign policy.

Yes, the "new left obsession" has nothing whatsoever to do with the genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in Lebanon, the invasion of Syria, or the terror-bombing or Iran, all with US aid and complicity, no matter the party. I think you should be far more concerned with reactionary centrist takes. 🤔

Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime

Pretty sure that an elite’s denial of the Gaza genocide contributes a lot more to worldwide antisemitism than acknowledging it

Platner to newspaper: I loved shooting the fuck out of Iraqis, burning their bodies, and trolling people about it with my blackwater hat. Plus I got cheered on for it when I came home. Awesome experience. Killing is 👍 Guy who usually hates all that stuff: So all you guys have is the tattoo huh

The list of reasons why this is a sad, bad-faith attempt at accessing this person's favorite subpar stories for teenagers would reach the moon...and that assumes this choad actually knows who Wagner was.

I am so tired of being told that because I live in a coastal city I don’t count as a Real American and it is especially grating coming from my own party

Incredible to go from breaking Watergate to this

The difference between these two is racism

I think some of the purchase these AI writing tools have on us is, ironically, due to the mythos writers have created around "writer's block" which is not and has never been a real thing. It's just procrastination, a thing everyone has to confront at some level.

Red States: We're going to cut all the programs that don't support our theology Blue States: We're going to cut the same programs, but because they don't support the business school

MASSIVE WIN: no one wants to live in the united states anymore

re the shocking displays of incompetence, venality, prideful ignorance, brutality, belligerence, violence etc. of almost our entire elite class: one wonders whether this is just an indictment of how most people are when they find out there are no rules, or whether these are uniquely terrible people

Student visas for Africa’s best and brightest were canceled by the Trump administration, leaving empty seats and broken dreams. “A punch to the heart,” said one woman who lost her scholarship.

we are not going to outchud the republican party and theirs are not our values

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.
