What are the odds OpenAI used AI to come up with this brilliant idea?

The Innumerate Party strikes again.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

My take that it reflects badly on your mama when Curtis Sliwa has better manners tha you do.

"Trust me - I dare you."

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Who remembers the Twilight Zone episode, "It's A Good Life"? For some reason, that came to mind this morning. Trump is exactly like the little boy, Anthony. Capricious, cruel (and reveling in his cruelty), and with total power.

Republicans are willing to starve poor children to protect rich men who raped children. It's just another form of child abuse.

New polling on data centres finds 72% of Europeans want a measure requiring new data centres be built only if they’re powered by new and additional renewable energy. ⚠️ People aren’t willing to trade the climate for unsustainable data centre growth.

Here it comes, folks. I volunteer at a food pantry twice a month. We got slammed today - twice our usual number of households, a bunch we'd never seen before, and people lined up waiting for us to open. It's gonna get bad fast.

TEN YEARS AGO WRITER: "How about a novel with a crazy president who can't stop talking about his new $300 million gold ballroom while millions of Americans go without food." AGENT: "That's a little heavy-handed. No politician would be that stupid. Come up with a more subtle, believable scenario."

Everyone is 12 theory undefeated

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

You know what makes a city look like a war zone? armed soldiers.

I still remember phone numbers of people from school whom I didn't even like.

If they wrote a long opinion, it also might give the impression that they're doing their jobs.

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post: God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

“we are telling you right now that we do not intend to honor anything we agree to” is certainly a negotiating position one can take

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Seeing eugenics back is infuriating because we all figured out the scam *decades* ago. “We just want to weed out inferior genes and create the perfect man, a true leader!” “Oh, like Martin Luther King!” “No, he will have superior physical traits as well.” “Like Michael Jordan!” “No…it’s…get out.” 😡

We’re at a point where ICE is the President’s personal secret police, the DOJ is the President’s personal inquisitor & tormentor of his enemies & the National Guard is the President’s personal army to occupy Black & brown communities. 2025 America

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

It is kinda funny that trump is the exact caricature of who the founding fathers designed an entire ass system of government to prevent

I can't help but wonder what our ancestors who lived in the 1930s and 1940s would make of the idea that being "antifacist" is considered un-American.

Well said.

What a class act is our Vice President. I was born during the Eisenhower administration. I know Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon et al used profanity and vulgarity plenty, but never publicly. It just shows how Vance and the other members of the regime feel they don't have to answer to anyone.

Your occasional reminder -- as arrivals on student visas decrease 28% -- that tuition from foreign students counts as an export, which means that every rejected student visa is going to contribute to the US trade deficit. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

it's crazy that being like "how do i explain gay couples to my kids?" isn't an unthinkably embarrassing to say in 2025. it's actually incredibly easy to explain, that should be like indignantly saying "how am I supposed to explain to my kids where the sun goes at night? did a bird steal it?!"

Another (fictional) white person is getting erased, I guess.

Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.

It is a good thing when cynically ambitious politicians start doing the right thing because they think it's popular and will help their future electoral prospects. That's the point, it's how democracy is supposed to work at its theoretical ideal.

At least once a day, Trump reminds me of that far too uncommon word, "innumerate". apnews.com/article/fact...

We scrapped all the youth clubs, made everything expensive, took away things like skate parks, built massive housing estates with no green space, and wonder why kids get up to no good online. It's a complete mystery that definitely isn't a problem of our own making.

Yes, it's English, but I'll be damned if I know what point he's trying to make.

The man who just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because their numbers supposedly weren’t accurate just claimed that he lowered drug prices in America by 1500%.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is officially free, and a federal judge blocked the Trump regime and ICE from detaining him after his release. This is a great win for our legal system and justice. Each victory should be celebrated along with all those fighting for our immigrant communities. #OnYourSide

Imagine what the (non) response would have been like if it were a blue state? I remember Bill Cosby's Noah routine: "How long can you tread water?"

Trans woman overcomes ‘hateful’ attacks to make election history in New Hampshire

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

Immigration is what made America great. If they want to “make America great again” they should understand this.
