We threw out Al Franken over much less.

I dare someone to write a period-accurate novel and use this name for the protagonist. I want to see the reviews.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

owo : You were the first one 0_o: You weren’t the last one VRChat killed the FurryMUCK star VRChat killed the FurryMUCK star All our scenes were in plain text But now we wear these big headsets Graphics came and broke your heart we had @descs not avatars….

We met on FurryMUCK, way back in '92 The dialup noises said I soon could chat with you The text was slow but didn't stop you coming through OwO And now I open an abandoned term window We read the scrollback and it seems so long ago Do you remember how the TS used to go OwO

Hmm, what a dilemma… 🤔

I Can't, I have plans.

I'm begging you all in the media. Please read the emails for more than 2 seconds. They don't just say Trump "knew" about underage girls. THE EMAILS SAY HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED.

I was in the Rocky Mountains, and it just kind of clicked. Enjoyer of big cats, enjoyer of mountains... Mountain lion. Pyke's name was then derived from Pikes Peak.

guys I'm starting to think maybe trump didn't want to release his tax returns for reasons other than people finding out he wasn't actually a billionaire...

rage

we gotta get like three VPNs deep with signal chats set to a disappearing turnaround of minutes to be able to use adult words instead of "unalive" or "grape" meanwhile our political elite are apparently just emailing each other plaintext "up for sex crimes tonight ?"

This is the guy who's bankrolled the Vice President, in case you've forgotten (because the media barely talks about it).

i think peter thiel should have his fortune stripped on the way to prison and everyone who worked at gawker in 2014-16 should get $100 million

You mean the guy who buried his college transcripts, never released his taxes and is at this very moment trying to shake down a couple female House of Representatives to not sign onto a discharge petition that would release the Epstein files is hiding probably bad economic numbers? Fucking shocked.

happy epstein thermonuclear launch day to all who celebrate

Anyway I told myself to go to bed two hours ago but my brain is overclocking so that’s awesome.

It’s gonna be hilarious when they’re racing to cash out again…

Would you do this for a friend?

Busy worldbuilding

Billionaires need to be made to understand that increased taxation is the compromise position.

Tim Kaine is on par with Fetterman in terms of caving to Republicans, he just doesn’t get as much attention because Virginia has become less swing-y than Pennsylvania and Kaine won’t be up again until 2030.

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

“Okay, so, hear me out… Okay, so, Republicans screw the Dems and never schedule the ACA vote, right? Or, like, they do, but then the vote fails… obviously. “So then everyone’s premiums skyrocket, okay? So that just makes everyone ANGRIER, and then the Dems sweep.” “WHY ARE YOU HITTING ME‽”

The real winners tonight are all the consultants the DNC is about to hire to try and figure out why not even their own voters like them 🤔

"Wow, we had such an amazing win on Tuesday, and we seem to really have the support of people across the country to keep fighting!" *lights up a molotov and throws it into their own rebel base* "Hey, Liar McRich just promised that if I do this now, we'll possibly get a concession in a month or two."

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

The thing is that while the government was able to eventually earn back the money it used to bailout the banks (and even made a profit), that was because everyone needs banks. But there is NO evidence that OpenAI will be able to pay back a bailout. So this taxpayer money will truly be torched.

Funny how fast the talk about OpenAI seeking a government bailout happened once even pro-AI commentators began calling out their circular funding ecosystem as being wildly unsustainable... But let's be real: They were always going to ask for a bailout. That was their grift's goal from the start.

the moment any media replaces any human labor with AI it is dead to me. And anyone with any iota of appreciation for the hard work that goes into their games, books, music, illustrations, animations, etc etc etc should feel similarly

Neurodivergent people joining the boycott like…

Congress is run by 20 y/o’s because eventually young, bright-eyed staffers realise working 12 hour days for less than $60k/yr. in D.C. fucking sucks, so they bounce out by age 30 and their office snaps up one of the 100s of bright-eyed recent college graduates willing to take their place.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

This conversation between ChatGPT and the young man it encouraged to commit suicide is just...my god www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Oh hey, I’ve seen this one before…

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Oops! All Chicago

"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.
