wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

He doesn't actually want to hang anybody. He wants you to talk about his wanting to hang Democratic lawmakers instead of talking about the Epstein files.

Their advice is also dangerously wrong! When one group of people must carry papers on them to avoid government kidnapping and disappearing, that means *all* people must carry such papers on them. How else can you show the government you're not someone they should kidnap and disappear?

oh, and don’t EVER say we shouldn’t demand more of elected democrats. a whole lot of them need to be replaced because they’re still too scared to do the right thing. don’t fucking settle. expect more.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

This is a great piece.

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Everything I've seen about Democrats' version of Project 2029 is far too modest and weak-kneed. Democrats need to look at the precedents Trump is setting (and shattering) and figure out how a progressive can maximally wield the power that this administration is concentrating in the executive branch.

[picks up phone] let’s see what’s on the bad news machine today … [throws phone into the sea]

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

The growing "Empathy is a Sin" movement is why: "Small gov't" fans want to legislate reproductive rights & gender identity "Free speech absolutists" can ban books, journalists & protests DEI is antithetical to meritocracy, but white mediocrity is not Cruelty is not the point It's a commandment

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

You guys don't get it. America needs more babies. Also, we should deport babies.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Dems- keep pounding away on this and do not let up.

Time to primary Schumer and Gillibrand. They’re useless pawns. Weak. Pathetic.

Ten Democrats voted to censure Rep. Green. Minority Leader Jeffries needs to get his conference in line. Pathetic and weak.

After Green interrupted last night, another Democrat should have done the same thing. And then another, until all of them had to be removed. Delay the speech by a few hours. Or walk out en masse. Anything. Calling Trump an existential threat means nothing if you can’t meet the fucking moment.

Man.

If the Democrats bail out Mike Johnson on ANY spending bill, they deserve the utter political destruction coming their way. Some are already falling for the "but we'll get blamed for shutting down the government" b.s. Have you learned NOTHING? Not. One. Vote.

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

Dems: Y’all gotta cease the *High Road, Institutionalist* BS and pivot to Ruthlessly Effing Them Up. YoursTruly, a BW StratCommPro who has been ringing this Alarm for years. 🚨📢

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I left a stopwatch app running on my iPad for about nine months.

Let's be clear about what's happening. Trump is freeing the violent paramilitary wing of his movement from prison in order to: 1) demonstrate that violence committed in service of his objectives will go unpunished, and 2) facilitate future acts of violence in service of his regime.

Wife: So you went to the party all by yourself? Me: Yes Wife: And you stayed three whole hours? Me: Yes Wife: Even though I wasn’t there to make you stay? Me: Yes Wife: And now you don’t want to talk to other people until? Me: March-ish

What is Christmas with no snow?
