I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

I swear I get more radicalized every single day

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots. This may affect elections at every stage at which there's a mail deadline. An underplayed one: VOTER REGISTRATION. Many voters who send in their registration forms by mail could be postmarked late, missing out without realizing it.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

some rainbows for your workweek

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

googling "does my video camera bird feeder work with the department of homeland security" and now my eye has a twitch that won't go away

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured” www.reuters.com/investigatio...

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

When we overthrow the tech bros I only want monster fuckers and furry porn artists running the internet and tech.

pimp my ride by adorning it like an illuminated manuscript

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Why are the men’s names redacted and the victims names exposed?

I wrote about all the men who flocked to Jeffrey Epstein's inbox to talk about sexual abuse allegations with an expert. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I wrote about the Epstein files (gift link) www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Wasn't aware I adopted a model!!

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

My mom and I have been making a point to read together every so often, and it's been really nice. Living with my parents again isn't optimal, for many reasons, but having her near has been a silver lining for sure.

A note from our editors:

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024 UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M. HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon. A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website: www.georgiafort.com/support

In theater. So they think they’re at war.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

There are many who join the military because that is the only way they can achieve financial stability, get a college education, get health insurance, have any chance of retiring. If you've had to give your body to this country for your own survival, know that you don't have to give your soul too.

"AI has feelings and is sad." good maybe it will learn its lesson for trying to threaten us with that roko's basilisk shit. who's trapped in the torment nexus now, idiot?
