“But in a modern, free, and truly democratic society, it should not be a mystery for days to its population and its voters whether or not their president has just bombed a new sovereign nation, without any declaration of war – all while the federal government that’s funded by our tax dollars…

"I'm not going to tell you whether I started a war or not" is a helluva place for American Presidential politics to be.

the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

You FUCKED UP, your LEFTY politics have ALIENATED the BILLIONAIRES who run the CHILD BONE EXTRACTION FACTORIES and now they will do a MASS EXODUS from your STATE or CITY. Don’t CRY to ME when you no longer see their CHILD CATCHING VANS in your STATE or CITY, YOU IDIOT

An entire feature-length profile about her in the New York Times, the paper of record, that not *one single time* mentions that she's a rabid antisemite. When she does her real apology for that wake me up.

Greene's shift is newsworthy but it's shockingly dishonest for @nytimes.com to portray it as a sincere awakening. There's no evidence of that; she's not changing caucus nor voting differently. She's an abhorrent bigot cynically adjusting position because she sees Trump as a liability. That's a fact.

2025 was a blur. That’s why Zeteo put together a yearbook of the moments and figures that defined the year – the good, the bad, the ugly, and the unhinged. Check out the whole yearbook at Zeteo.com to see who was named Wild Card of the Year, Most Fascist Couple, and more: zeteo.com/p/zeteo-pick...

Hardly new or surprising at this point, but it's still so crazy how the US president goes to bat for Russia, aping the Russian government's propaganda, lying to the world on a Russian dictator's behalf, and trying to help Russian military aggression succeed against a US-partnered European democracy.

He’s the narcissist so shameless that all the other narcissists want to be him.

Trump had calls with Putin both before and after meeting with Zelenskyy. It’s hard to reconcile that the President of the United States is negotiating on behalf of the Kremlin against our ally, but I am unsure what other conclusion we can come to.

The Plot to Enslave America

"How many people voted to tear down the Berlin Wall?" I scream to the world.

amazing, simply wonderful, more like this please, Bluesky is the best.

Kind of political crazy wanna be murderer who doesn't like either party, but somehow swallows one party's propaganda platform completely, as if eating an entire uncut pizza.

"nearly half" is a really funny way to describe losing an election lol

The unidirectionality of empathy is really incredible. Truly polarized.

"Attention hacking" makes it sound like they are winning the game rather than rigging it - Republicans bought up and control the biggest platforms and audiences. There are machines that literally determine what stories people see and conservatives own the machines.

“i don’t like either party”

As Dave gets at, Dems content to operate in an info environment dominated by the right surrender the initiative to their political foes. The right can propagate damaging narratives at will — as Dems wait in vain for a chance to “get the facts out” so they can “let the voters decide.”

ultimately a lot of these guys have the personality trait where they encounter dipshit bullying (which is what a lot of anti-masking sentiment is) and their natural reaction is to make sure the bully thinks they are cool and shouldn't get lumped in with the rejects and losers.

there have been multiple stories of middle school girls getting harassed with generated CP of themselves over the past few years and somehow the only AI fear that seems to stick is the fucking water if i was more conspiratorial i'd think it's a psyop

The thing Sacks is mad about is a potential wealth tax which only impacts those with assets over $1 billion. That will impact very few actual people in Silicon Valley. FWIW I have some issues with the actual proposal, but the idea that it means Silicon Valley "is for dinner" is nonsense.

This is the way blue states

Excited to announce GOLLUM, an app that helps you focus on your most precious possession!

Reading the lede of Taibbi's famous financial crisis take; it's full of memorable hyperbole that you could prove is not 100% true. That's legal, actually

Whether it's liberal musicians encouraging people to send aid to starving Africans at Christmas or conservative politicians bombing African hospitals on Christams, both sides have made some provocative Christmas African statements.

In September 2023, Lilian Weng, then Head of "Safety" at OpenAI, used her public Twitter account to announce how ChatGPT could be used as a therapist, and encouraged users to also use it as such.

The failure of the press to unite in solidarity around Jon Broder in 2012 or whenever had some long lasting consequences for everyone.

These parents killed their child and we need to say it

This father, led on by a chorus of fraudster elite dipshits like RFK Jr, killed his daughter through medical neglect. The father, while a victim in one sense, is not the actualvictim, that is his daughter, who *should have been protected from her abusive father* with mandatory vaccination.

State funded projects should be entitled and permitted by the state. This situation is absurd.

Also, I always think it’s so weird when people act like this is proof that Pelosi was hellbent on accountability. It’s just proof she was Speaker during a Trump presidency. She never considered, for instance, seriously impeaching Bush. It’s literally just a measure of how bad Trump is

In occupied Mariupol, Russia has reopened the so-called “restored” Drama Theatre. This is not reconstruction. This is an attempt to erase a war crime.

the “OP liked this” icon on the QT is a nice bit

the last three Most Disturbing Ads I’ve Ever Seen have all been CandyAI. really keep raising the bar on themselves

it's a theory the same way that gravity is a theory

The peace president

Uh,

Probably one of my more cancelable takes but we need to bring back the idea that having a computer girlfriend makes you a loser

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Hardly a surprise.

Remember that time Obama saved his Congressional majority and secured the Senate for generations by promising to expand offshore oil exploration?

it is extremely funny that RFK both does not believe in the germ theory of disease and is a lab leak truther

Something badly needed at this point is a big rigorous study comparing suicide rates among non-LLM users and LLM users.

Some libertarian nerds from the ACLU are going to barely contain their own heavy breathing when they argue that nonconsenual AI porn bots are a core tenet of free speech, and you need to laugh them out of the room.

These technologies can and are being used to create lifelike images and videos of actual living women and girls. For what I think are pretty obvious gendered civil rights reasons, it needs to be a recognized civil cause of action to create an AI image or avatar of a woman without her consent.

The “worst of the worst” Venezuelans deported to El Salvador’s CECOT prison weren’t the worst: nearly all had no violent convictions, many entered the US legally, and gang labels relied on tattoos—not evidence, reports Cato’s David Bier. https://ow.ly/wifs50XO2TY
