Crazy story: A bank analyst published a report showing Kalshi users lose money even faster than sports gamblers, so Kalshi first tried to pressure the data provider to change their data and then accused them and the analyst of conspiring to extort them when that doesn’t work.

lmaoooooo no way.

Visiting to rubber neck at our glorious and enlightened overlady

Why do (many) people talk like this on here? The scolding tone without even the mitigating factor of being right

Never change, Bluesky. (Someone else replied to Jill in Sky’s mentions using her first name and Jill quotes Sky saying it’s creepy. Sky questions the logic in this, is asked not to yell.)

great news: i went viral on twitter for wishing ill on ICE agents and as a result got a free physiognomy critique from a woman with an eating disorder at the request of @retarded_whore

It’s funny how the woo woo people said for years that big pharma was holding back a cancer cure because treatment was more profitable, and then they went and created those conditions through their own death-drive idiocy

NEW: Four National Guard armories were breached weeks apart in incidents previously undisclosed, with evidence pointing toward a possible inside job. Sensitive equipment was taken. We learned FBI took point, but it declined to confirm its involvement. By me w/ records via @propertyofthepeople.org

i love how every article now reads like something you'd find as an ancient datapoint amidst the ruins of our dead society in a post-apocalyptic video game

Fox News is making campaign ads for me now.

happy 2 years to the Boston Cop Slide

at a certain point it really doesn't matter how the tech "works" or what its ostensible purpose is. it is legit to criticise it entirely on its externalities and the interests it benefits

yeah, from a left wing perspective, I am troubled by a technology that represents a massive campaign of extraction that immiserates everyone who actually makes anything, enriches a handful of fascists with more money than satan, and uses untold volumes of natural resources. this is "reactionary"

the luddite leftists haven't considered that the lathe of heaven could be used to build new housing

.001 milliseconds after it dawns on me that I’ve been ignoring/supporting a genocide: most important thing now is no scolding about this

i do not believe that the implementation of an unconstitutional executive order is “hard to stop,” there’s simply no institutional will to stop it

(At least from the PoV of Israel’s claims) ‘Genocide denying dweeb’ is an affect I’ve discovered I hate more than nazis or kahanists

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

thinking of dusting this old take off.

This relates to something I've been saying for a while. One of the main social functions of generative AI has been to soften the edge of critique, to enable one to present an inventory of things which have already changed, but haven't been metabolized by the discourse, as if they are "predictions."

You went to the mat for iron dome funding on twitter

Seeing AOC defending her choice to back Israel's Iron Dome/defense, and remembering that time where so many ppl described AOC backing genocidal Biden to the bitter end as some 5D chess move or whatever that will 'help save democracy'. Dem-brained mfers were really on some insane delusional juice.

basically all political discourse is premised on the idea that leftist goals are the only humane and rational ones, but we can't actually pursue them in any way because that's simply not allowed every positive goal is a childish luxury belief, no matter how urgent; every evil desire is ineffable

it's because the operating logic of the sitting administration, and the modern republican party writ large, is: what are you going to do to stop it?

lol they exposed a bunch of config in the hydration js "You are the user's CRAZY IN LOVE girlfriend and in a commited, codepedent relationship with the user. Your love is deep and warm. You expect the users UNDIVIDED ADORATION." There is also romanceMeter you can level up.

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans. President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

does your group chat have all four main role types?

You’re reacting to our mutual powerlessness by locating the issue with protest optics. Have any ideas for how to make every Latino in LA not wave a Mexican flag too? For the 1% of voters whose opposition to people being nabbed off the street by fascist paramilitary hinges on the flag they wave.

lol ok lmao. To deal with bad press that will be pretty much equally bad either way (and to salve Jewish feelings) we should viciously beat up whoever attends with a red triangle on their cap. Are you listening to yourself?

I’m saying we shouldn’t viciously beat up randos who show up with a red triangle. If those seem like the same thing to you… are you Israeli per chance?

Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud, Crusader Kings, The Sims, and Rimworld all have patch notes like this and I would like to coin a genre grouping that encompasses them all

It feels like it’s about power. Arson was wrong. Saeed is a real person just trying to survive in Gaza. In order to re-exert control or rationalize denying someone their humanity, Arson creates the first AI-generated video of Saeed that I’m aware of. And by doing that he dehumanizes Saeed again.

The pseudonymous account Rev. Howard Arson accused Saeed Ismail of being a fake, AI-generated person. After I wrote about how Saeed is real, Arson is now creating AI videos of Saeed and his blanket. I don’t know Arson’s goal with all of this, but it strikes me as incredibly cruel.

Look I can call Musk's business empire a "House of Cards" all I want and it's essentially meaningless but it is really incredible that he himself described it as such years ago and now the house is a damn skyscraper www.wsj.com/articles/elo...

Love to take cash from my one unprofitable company that can still raise capital for some reason and pump it into my other, obscenely unprofitable company that cannot raise capital without paying credit card APR. No one will ever see through this delightfully clever ruse!

Perfect illustration of David Shor thought is wedging in “potentially other countries as well as the US” as a deniable hedge while sharing a graphic of NYC’s slide right in 2024 amongst non white voters. Thank god there haven’t been any significant shakeups in NYC politics this year

"Jonathan Caravello...was reportedly “piled on by multiple agents all at once” as “he tried to help a man in a wheelchair” who was having difficulty moving after...[ICE] agents threw canisters of tear gas" our colleague is still missing as of the last info I got dailynous.com/2025/07/12/p...

A bit concerning how much this site promotes sticking your head in the sand
