oh i had this realization once

Thank you for Eyepatch Wolf for this incredible meme/react.

For more than 150 years, people have tried to explain that using "national identity" to build solidarity is as effective as painting flowers on the knife someone wants to use to kill you. And still, they offer new paint, different flowers...

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

"Oh, just because we're colosally unpopular with the general public in a representive democracy, that means we're in trouble, does it?" Yeah! Yeah it does!

Governments do in fact lose because polls go down. That's actually the main mechanism by which it happens.

Wish I could internalize this

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Hey yall don’t apologize or be sorry for posting something nice or having fun today. I strongly believe humans aren’t equipped to handle this amount of info all day every day. Please live. Have joy. Being informed doesn’t have to be public and you don’t have to drown.

"Attorneys get their clients off on technicalities!" If my client is walking on a "technicality," it's because either the state, their bank, or their landlord BROKE THE LAW and therefore should not win.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Trust and believe there’s a gang of oilfield randos out there.

If my son chose to be an instrument of facism over possibly going to prison I would simply not tell the entire fucking internet

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

that's just a different tv show, you're just describing an entirely separate show

It's our time

This type of discourse is so prevalent & often works because we have for some reason For Years Now agreed to debate the merits of socialism from a starting position so intentionally disingenuous that we aren't ever even discussing what socialism actually is. A testament to our engineered ignorance.

I dunno, guys. Finding out that white supremacy is literally killing him is hilarious.

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

dominic g. martin, if you see this i hope you're doing as well as you possibly can be going into the new year, i wish only the best for you man 💜💜💜

I just sniped a kid in Overwatch and he wrote "ohhh Kirked me" and I just found out they're using that as shorthand for a good snipe HOLY SHIT LOL

I’ll see yall next year ✨

trying to explain to anyone outside of NYC how fucking stupid this asshole is surreal. i have to look people in the eye and be like “he lit a bunch of motor scooters on fire in a big pyre for a photo shoot, shut down the libraries and went on the news and told us to all stay home and fuck”

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Perhaps an obvious point, but beyond a certain level of wealth, these numbers become meaningless. Those eight billionaires are mostly wielding political capital at this point; the bank balances are irrelevant. What this is a record of is therefore only what they *took* from everyone else.

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it. Disney Solitaire has literal actual real money gambling with dark pattern lootbox microtransactions and is for ages 3 and above.

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

The target audience for AI is people from 1990s infomercials who literally can’t do anything, people who open a cabinet and 50 Tupperware containers come tumbling out at them before they slip on a banana peel and can’t get up again.

For sale: Tiny Tim. Never died.

Happy Modular Danish Construction Toys Day to all who celebrate!

OH, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE STOCKING THAT MAKES A NOISE, said Death. OTHERWISE, WHAT IS 4:30 A.M. FOR? - Terry Pratchett, Hogfather good night and good luck to every other parent with small children out there

Happy Christmas to all, even the haters and losers

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

If you've never seen the Super Eyepatch Wolf video on how Jake Paul stacked his boxing career to create an illusion he can actually fight, I highly recommend it and it makes tonight even more cathartic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktLa...

I love that the two images make it seem like these events happened moments apart

Border patrol is forcing rideshare drivers at the O’Hare lot to show proof of citizenship before they can exit the lot and pick up rides at the airport

probably, it's just that labour's choice for PM is an authoritarian compulsive liar with the political instincts of a rabid lemming

Imagine being incredibly rich and powerful and still being miserable. All the opportunities you could have to make a positive change in the world. What an absolute waste of a life.

Americans asked for comment replied with baffled looks and questions including, "Wait, you can just do that?" and, "Gun...laws...? Like, giving guns more rights...?"

Nice try, Herod, not falling for that one.

🚨URGENT: Congress prepares to push forward wolf slaughter bill that would remove federal protections for gray wolves across the lower 48 states and prohibit judicial review. Decision will be voted on Dec. 15 and could move to a House vote next week. 📣Take action: https://bit.ly/4adWexU

Never forget that Mamdani went into the White House and called Trump a fascist to his face and it made Trump so frightened of him he grinned like a buffoon and played nice through the entire press session.

This court case said one thing very clearly; but what if, and hear me out, it actually said the opposite (we all know they Must have meant to be transphobic right??) -respectable uk newspapers

“We can only stop the Nazis if we replicate their policies in our own country before they even get into power!”
