The whole article is insane, but this here is perhaps this is the best demonstration of how much they have apparently allowed their minds to get warped by their own creation. (Contrast this with the notorious RCT discovery that AI actually slows down productivity.) pivot-to-ai.com/2025/07/11/a...

Neither courts nor laws will halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take it upon themselves to organize concrete acts of resistance, to take direct action on a horizontal and participatory basis—in other words, to become anarchists. crimethinc.com/becomeananar...

I am so tired of waiting. Aren't you, for the world to become good and beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife and cut the world in two- and see what worms are eating at the rind.

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

Our ancestors did more with much less. We have no excuse.

I'm right.

The USA is not a country it’s a make a wish program for rich perverts

we will finally, at long last, win the war on literacy

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.

Zarigani Hakase, a professorial crayfish, and Funadon, a guileless carp, are local characters from Hanyu City.

“School officials have created a Microsoft Copilot prompt to review course descriptions with an eye toward avoiding ‘advocacy-oriented or prescriptive terms.’” Terms: “dismantling, decolonizing, interrogating, challenging, centering, combating, liberation, resistance, activism, justice oriented”

A shout out to Tucson protesters who used a bicycle chain to lock ICE thugs into the parking lot of a little restaurant they were raiding today, so that they had to call local cops to get them out.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

so charlie kirk gets shot in the neck then a week later they introduce a character named "full necky"

all omelas takes are bad. yes even that one. they're all bad. the original story is a complete object, it's not a puzzle box to be solved

"Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones."

I really don’t like how people are diagnosing these fascists with personality disorders instead of acknowledging that this is the type of personality that psychology never bothered to pathologize because it neatly fits into our society and upholds the status quo

it’s bandcamp friday today, which mean all fees are waived & artists get to keep 100% of what you pay for their music. so here’s a timely reminder that my entire discography of beats, downtempo, trip-hop, hip-hop, &c. is free/pwyw — thank you for your consideration! quandary.bandcamp.com

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

2/2 To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know: Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore. They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett. Small world.

Today is the birthday of Errico Malatesta, a tireless anarchist organizer and author active on four continents across six decades. To observe the occasion, we invite you to read about how he and his comrades organized mutual aid to address the cholera epidemic of 1884. crimethinc.com/cholera 🧵⬇️

Large group in Tacoma ICE prison organizing collectively! "70 immigrants protested inhumane conditions at Northwest Detention Center and are planning to work with additional detained immigrants facing the same conditions to pressure GEO Group to meet their demands" @laresistencianw.bsky.social

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning. Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

While the Trump admin targets Somali communities in Minnesota with ICE raids, workers rally at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport in the freezing weather to say NO MORE DEPORTATION FLIGHTS. NO MORE RAIDS. workdaymagazine.org/no-more-terr... by Amie Stager

I cover what people *are* doing (their work is harder than mine, but my work is not easy). From the last 12 months: newrepublic.com/article/1988... newrepublic.com/article/1946... newrepublic.com/article/1917... newrepublic.com/article/1916... newrepublic.com/article/1895...

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor. It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

They should do MyChart Wrapped

wrapping paper is the clothes of the presents. unwrapping a gift is an inherently sexual act! yes, we do actually “have to talk about it right now.” if we can’t be honest about this what hope is there for the world? and I don’t actually care if you do write me out of the will, grandpa

You don't have to kill ALL your darlings, okay?

"DACA recipients are being arrested despite deportation protection," writes Valerie Gonzalez for the @ap. apnews.com/article/daca...

The administration has unlawfully terminated over a hundred immigration judges and is intent on replacing them with “deportation judges” to speed up their mass deportation agenda. I’m introducing legislation to restore proper guardrails over who can serve as a temporary immigration judge.

According to this form you can upload 5Gb files.

The idea that there's some sort of widespread abuse of processes for equitable accommodations and so we must do something about the equitable accommodations is just a right wing talking point that libs are now uncritically regurgitating. No different from worrying about Welfare Queens

this is the disability version of the trans bathroom debate: maybe we shouldn't let people just live their lives in the ways they need to because of this theoretical person who might someday take advantage that we just made up.
