We are all on a watchlist down here!

i love that a significant portion of the population of the world believes in demons and the devil and satan. they just think this stuff is real and it genuinely scares them

I am thankful that my mom and aggressively lapsed Catholic dad raised me free of dogmatic faith and organized religion. I once had an evangelical kid I worked with at Publix look me in the eye and tell me, “If I had to, I would kill in the name of Jesus. I would kill you in the name of Jesus”.

I have no skin in the game tonight, but I'm hoping the Texans pull off an upset. As a neutral, I appreciate Chris "that's the best [insert anything football related here] I've ever seen" Collinsworth's enthusiasm.

White supremacist, Christian nationalism is an idiotic ideology, always has been. It should surprise no one that the movement’s leadership are total idiots.

We're exactly the kind of family that Toyota would want to conquest into their vehicles. Lots of kids, a dog. We've been well-served by Odyssey minivans, but I was liking the Sienna's hybrid mileage as an option. No way in Hell, as long as this sycophantic idiot is at the helm.

The only question that matters.

I am absolutely on a "wake up people, the cake you are being promised isn't real" bender this morning.

The malevolent lords of tech capitalism salivate for a world where people own nothing. A world where we rent everything from cradle to grave and control nothing. In a post-truth, post-literate, increasingly lawless society, it is looking more probable than ever that they might get it.

The anonymous internet is rife with risks and dangers, but it also rich with information and opportunity. The coalition of religious fundamentalists and corporate fascists trying to constrain our collective access are not protecting anyone, they are working to control our access and control us.

Cory Doctorow coined the word ENSHITTIFICATION & found that a little vulgarity helps people engage with abstract technical questions. On the Future Knowledge #podcast, he explains why the web became hostile & how we can make it work again. 🎧 Listen ⬇️ futureknowledge.transistor.fm/episodes/ens...

We have children Hind Rajab’s age. The original release of the audio and telling of the incident destroyed my heart. I don’t think I will be able to make it through this film.

This is what total moral bankruptcy looks and sounds like.

Beige Frequency’s illustrations get better with every essay. These comedians are well down the road to collective irrelevance.

This one hits close to home. My dad was a Canadian citizen residing in the US on a permanent visa after serving with the Marines in Vietnam. My mom was born to a German father and Norwegian mother, both of whom emigrated to the US as children.

Terminally short-term thinkers think of the US as 1910-1920s Italy. Imagine being so simple that you believe minority rule by white Christians can be brute-forced onto an enormous country populated by 350 million people. A country with a history of resistance, rebellion, and even progress. Insanity.

Finally getting caught up on Pluribus and really digging it. As someone who has been a vegetarian/vegan his entire adult life, I really appreciated the vegetarian/nigh on Jain Dharma take on killing our fellow creatures. Carol is a very Vince Gilligan character.

Assuming I don’t spend the rest of my life in the Laid Off Legion, I would really, really like to go to work for a place like GN!

Love the peaks and valleys of light and shadow in this!

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Behold! The futures are now! ☠️🪦

Just coming right out and telling everyone that these extrajudicial killings have nothing to do with drugs. These are nothing more than murders and crimes against humanity. Unreal…

No one is responsible for more pain, suffering, and death in this world than greedy, deranged, wealthy people intent on sacrificing as many of us they deem necessary to satiate their endless hunger for wealth and power.

I believe in the power of people. We have every reason to embrace hope. Life is hard for most of us now, evil is having another moment in America, but anti-human corporatists and avowed fascists are a minority in our midst. They are powerful, malignant, cruel, and evil, but they are a minority.

One more reason to never buy anything from the Epic Games Store. Yes, I understand Steam has myriad issues as well, but the decision to disclose AI slop ain’t one of them.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

I speak from a decade of experience when I say that Staffordshire terriers are fantastic dogs! Hope this girl finds a good home soon!

Here's a post-season shocker 🔥 #MotoGP may ban Aprilia's leg wings, which played their part in the RS-GP's 3 victories from the last 4 races. The wings are a safety concern, say Dorna, Race Direction and IRTA, but what about holeshot devices and so on? www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/mot...

The specifics and scale of the problem are different in the US, but the fundamental truth Gary has been championing, that wealth inequality and the power the wealthy hold over our society are killing us and our democracy, very much applies.

Fuck Harry Potter, watch Akira instead.

The future of power looks cool as hell at 16000 fps.

Way back in the good ol’ days! Was more of a Richard Burns fan, but few have done it better than McRae in his prime.

People have a lot of opinions about Taylor Lorenz, but there is no good faith argument against the idea that captured media organizations and anti-democratic members of Congress are working together in an effort to maintain narrative control and the power to propogandize/manufacture consent.

"Don't tread on me, but feel free to tread all over those people." - SCOTUS Cons before laughing raucously

UNREAL. Former White House aide Sarah Hurwitz warned Holocaust education was “confusing” young people into sympathizing with “weak, skinny Palestinians” instead of “powerful Israelis.” And she said this on camera and in public! www.mediaite.com/politics/ex-...

Let us never forget that a rabid, wounded animal is never more dangerous than when it is cornered and desperate.

Wow! Jesse Welles performed his song “Join ICE” on the Colbert Show last night. 🏆

The world's last, crumbling superpower is being deconstructed by a President threatening politicians with death. Their crime: reminding the country's military personnel that they swore an oath to the country's Constitution, not a man. Things are going great...again.

Anyone putting a shine on Dick Cheney and his legacy of evil is telling us who and what they are about. Cheney was the driving force behind the lie used to justify the Iraq War. A war that killed over 4500 US soldiers, more than 600,000 Iraqis, and cost the US trillions of dollars. All for nothing.

Beware woke moralists! Dr. Jordanson won’t be cowed and he won’t be silenced!

My entire life I have held out hope that one day, in my lifetime, we might find ourselves living in a world guided by morality. Not a world of maliciousness and malignancy. Not a world of magical thinking and mystical grievances, but genuine morality. With each successive year, it feels less likely.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Always bittersweet getting several hours of MotoGP bikes on circuit for the Valencia test. Ducati looked strong, which is good. Pecco seemed comfortable enough to push up to and over the limit, which is good. AM73 and FA54 looked very strong, which is good. Plenty of optimism overall, which is good.

Evil, there is no other word for it. The people in this government are pure evil.
