a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on doublepulsar.com/microsoft-bu...

WOW. A third of ICE recruits can’t pass a fitness test that I do multiple times a week, and I’m a 51 year old woke cat lady with a nose ring who loves a soy latte.

This hits a lot of the notes I've been shouting from the rooftops: the frictionlessness of both producing and consuming slop, and the value of labor as friction that lets us slow down and think. Rather than "unlocking creativity" it's rendering our collective creativity down into a big vat of slop.

This. And this again.

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

Dems need to understand this. Not a single criticism Republicans level at them is ever made in good faith. Therefore it’s impossible to compromise, placate them, or gain their respect. They hate you for existing & they’ll call you communist extremists regardless of how hard you reach out to them.

No, but for real, remember how Obama picked up a Republican healthcare plan, and Republicans called him socialist for it? Remember how Obama deported more people than Trump and Republicans are still like “Democrats are for open borders!”

Most business models are. Theft from people, theft from nature, theft from the future, theft from the planet etc. Free enterprise = free theft. That's their model. bsky.app/profile/bren...

My statement on the two-year anniversary of the horrific Hamas terrorist attack against Israel and Netanyahu's ongoing war against the Palestinian people:

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Kristi Noem was the governor of South Dakota when Biden was President. Guess what she said regarding Biden potentially federalizing the Guard.

Many people wonder in 2025, how to deactivate the torment nexus. Well in this tutorial you are sure to find an answer for your question, and learn how to deactivate the torment nexus in 2025. We're going to get right to it but first I am excited to tell you about this video's sponsor, TormNex Pro

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

its so funny our current moment is like 10 big companies pretending theyre building agi while knowing they are not and none of the other guys are too, but if they admit it then the investor dollars stop. big game of fraud chicken

The hate crime charge against Alexa Wilkinson for photographing vandalism of the New York Times building is a dangerous precedent, no matter what you think of Wilkinson.

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Asmongold returns to streaming to bash an outrage cycle that happened two years ago. The "Cocomelon gay dads" story is from December 2023 but because Ian Miles Cheong posted it again everything thinks it's fresh LGBTQ+ outrage bait

....i didn't realize this sort of thing was going on..... i recommend *not* wearing a titanium ring with a lithium battery in it ?? and if it starts to swell while you're wearing it to absolutely not get on a plane ???

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.

Just a reminder that the second strongest analogy for this sort of elder abuse is pictured below (Brad Dourif in Lord of the Rings/Stephen Miller as the de facto President), the strongest analogy is what Donald Trump did to Fred Trump during the last decade-plus of Fred's life.

YES! THIS on GenAI! Please read this absolutely splendid piece of writing that had me cheering, a little bit weepy, and writing in the margins: "An extraordinary amount of money is spent by the AI industry to ensure that acquiescence is the only plausible response. But marketing is not destiny."

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

They're kidnapping a superintendent from one city, declaring war on Portland, while carrying out a massive operation in Chicago and heading into Nashville soon. National Guard is in DC picking up trash, pissed.

Disinvite them from the tailgate. Do not go to the baby shower. Call out their bullshit on Facebook. Do not just purse your lips and nod politely. Ostracize the living shit out of them. Leave their church potluck casserole untouched. These people are extremely vulnerable to social shame.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

I am old enough to remember when even plenty of liberals talked about ICE and Homeland Security this way, how even the terms were creepily police state and surely the next Dem president would roll it back. Then the Obama administration expanded it, so they accepted it. And here we are.

You know the saying that if you die then your job will have you replaced in like two weeks? Well, there ya go.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

FCC boss Brendan Carr now says his 'easy way or the hard way' comments about Jimmy Kimmel weren’t meant as a threat to pull licenses if Disney didn’t suspend him 🧢

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

"UPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production. Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization.' they need some more financial pain. boycott

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

This moment is disturbing even in the mundane: I’ve started taking screenshots of historical sources I’m using in research from the national park service, the smithsonian, and the national archives, just in case they get taken down. It’s now a part of my process and takes time I have to plan for.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
