there's no answer to the question 'what's it gonna take?' but that doesn't stop it from popping into my head every goddamn time I look at the news

Microsoft CEO says AI “risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.” Brother you’re the one building this dogshit, we’re three years and hundreds of billions in, how have you not worked it out? www.ft.com/content/2a29...

It’s June, 2025. The Los Angeles Kings have just been eliminated (again) by the Edmonton Oilers. Their fans are crying out for change and a new direction. Six months later they may have to watch Corey Perry and Evander Kane play regular minutes. LMAO🤮🤣

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:

Wait, so the administration that allowed these two posts didn’t acknowledge MLK Jr. in any way? Man thats crazy.

You do not, under any circumstances, have to show grace to a purportedly recovered former neo-Nazi If the recovery is real the grace should be flowing the other way

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school. Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

@profloumoore.bsky.social let the old school opening begin!

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

This is an answer nobody would ever accept from a democrat. A democrat who gave this answer would be ruthlessly mocked until the end of time. Yet Trump and Republicans get away with it without so much as a follow-up.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

Remember, if you are struggling to make it in an urban area, you are lazy and need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. If you are struggling to make it in a rural area, it’s not your fault. You’re a victim of urban elites who control you and don’t understand you.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Thinking about this deeply, wistfully, for some reason.

I actually lol'd. Well said sir

Democrats, whimpering: i-I-I don’t think we can get rid of ICE Republican, groping a child: Say goodbye to the Department of Education!

A dishonest equivalization from @chatterton.bsky.social. Luigi Mangione wasn't "lionized" by Biden or Harris, or by J Oliver or R Maddow, or anyone at that level. But Good's killer has been lionized at the highest levels possible on the right - by FOX and Noem and the DHS and even the President.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

Andrew Friedman rn

Absolute unparalleled levels of dudes rocking

No one who treated "wear a mask when you enter this store" as horrific tyranny actually believe in deference to state authority. It's Schmittian friend-enemy politics all the way down. "We" should be able to do whatever we feel like without consequence. "They" should be harassed, repressed, killed.

the toyota prius is older than ICE

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Republicans were very clear during the election that this is what they believed, & that this was what they would act upon when in office. Editors & tastemakers discounted it all, because it was ridiculous. Everything was fine. No one would blow everything up for the sake of delusion. Now here we are

Ah, yes, of course.

A related problem is that models for mainstream news, K-12, and higher ed functionally forbid saying that Republicans are the primary problem in American politics, even tho ignoring that fact undermines their supposed missions to inform.

I MEAN MY GOD

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

My potential to drive after binge drinking is not designed to undermine the safety of my neighbors and local community.

if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly

“Fascists Are Incapable of Understanding Art” remains undefeated.

I am begging you, as an American, to boycott the Olympics, boycott the World Cup and sanction us

“Trump is Dominating the Culture Wars”

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

Maybe, if you're not actually in university classrooms, teaching students in the age of gAI, perhaps you might want to stop and listen when people actually in those classrooms raise concerns about what they are seeing; and not just dismiss us as luddites, or boomers, or cruel profs playing cops

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Well... yeah.

Is there a grammatical reason why evidence based in placed in quotes here but overly permissive is not? Genuinely wondering.

It's easy to defend something if you ignore what actually happened and make up your own hypothetical scenario with totally different facts.
