Sir, another graduation ceremony in which the students booed AI has dropped. "College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names" (via @/FearedBuck on Twitter)

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

$1.776 as in 1776. As in celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by robbing the Treasury to reward those who are destroying the country

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

This is the money paragraph for me.

this will just make guys spin up more accounts to run their bots on. which might be the intent. drive up new account metrics

just stomping and clomping down that runway. diabolical

Mamdani's New York is coming to tax your private jet. Here's how to prepare: 1: get out your check book 2: write a big fat check to the government 3: be very, very grateful

Grogu’s family has announced he has passed away. “He was probably like 56 years old, which is like a baby age for little freaks like him,” his mother told the Times. He will be flushed down a special toilet with an extra wide pipe designed for Yoda disposal. “Like a big green turd,” she added

Idk if I can deal with another decade of discourse dictated by racist illiterates man it’s been this forever, these people don’t care about history or literature or movies and are just Nazis screaming that Santa Claus is white

Progressive candidate for Colorado AG calls for censure or impeachment of Gov Jared Polis (D) for giving clemency to Tina Peters

I can't say I'm having a great time, but it is sort of fascinating watching people try to build a red-brown electoral coalition around a new antisemitic consensus in real time.

“I don't understand what it's supposed to do. Every time I see a video on Instagram that's like, 'Hollywood is cooked,' what follows is, like, the most stupid dog shit I've ever seen in my life…”

A reminder that the stuff Gina Carano got canned for was genuinely vile

damn, AOC is out there doing @jamellebouie.net columns in her speeches now, that’s wild

damaging her what now

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

"There's no cameras where Tom is." So, what ... rehab?

Hear them out:

Stop calling the leisured provincial gentry "working class"

wait if this is a real campaign i'm kinda on board with letting my longshot ben whishaw for bond dreams die for this

that's my fucking New Reconstruction President

Woke 2.0 needs to include federal monuments to black Americans in every Confederate capital and Confederate city with a population larger than 50

california news media spending a year and change beating katie porter's ass over the staffer video only to turn aROUND AND ENDORSE HER?

How do Americans feel about the war? We asked ten big city homosexuals to share their thoughts.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

TRANS WOMAN: i'm in distress CIS LIBERAL: no you aren't :) if you look here you actually aren't

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

It's always the same 20 or so of the worst, most useless people

Kamala Harris inviting ideas:

or just do your own goddamn writing!!!!!!

This has been such a persistent issue with the @nytimes.com in particular, and criticized so often, that you really can't see it as an oversight anymore, but as a deliberate policy of contempt towards other media outlets.

Xi: It would be a shame if your storied nation were to fall into the Thucydides Trap Trump: Burger

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

what is it with these people being pathologically allergic to helping their own core constituents

my favorite genre of international dialogue

Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted. He writes: "Patience is the enemy now" and we have to stop asking people for it. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

BAN THE PERVERT GLASSES

It really is inexcusable that the NYT maintains a "free speech on campus" reporter who DOESN'T COVER OFFICIAL, POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED CENSORSHIP OF SPEECH ON CAMPUS. At some point you're actively deceiving the public, no?

When white supremacists described the first black politicians winning elections in the South during Reconstruction, they too called it a "reign of terror" that innocent white people had to suffer under. Black leaders! Elected to federal office! Can you imagine the indignity?!

If the President can successfully order the IRS to hand over billions of dollars to his personal bank account, the Constitution is dead and no longer operative. I'm not kidding. We've crossed a kind of Rubicon and the social contract is null and void.

“The revealed preference is their core voters actively enjoy being taken for a ride by the most obvious scam artists you’ve ever seen, as long as they validate their morbid pathologies about race and gender as they do so.” www.liberalcurrents.com/respecting-r...

I gave an interview recently about the importance of making nightlife more affordable for young people, and some of the feedback was, what a woke interview. And I think: so much of the current moment is just indulging people who don't want anyone else to have nice things.

This is partly harris's fault for opening the door by embracing trump's No Tax on Tips bribe to the culinary union and partly their stupid fault for not realizing that she fucking still lost. We're never gonna beat republicans at the stupid tax cut game! Wtf are you doing!

Hey Dems, how about a single idea on affordability that does not reaffirm longstanding Republican arguments?

america's reactionaries would love nothing more to nullify the reconstruction amendments and render them a dead letter of the constitution. this was as true in 1873 as it is today.
