THEY'VE PUT ME ON THE POCKETSTATION COOP. I'M BEING RENDERED IN A 32 BY 32 GRID OF MONOCHROME PIXELS. THE BOYS BACK AT QUANTICO SAID THEY'RE GOING TO RELOCATE ME TO A "DOKO DEMO ISSYO" UNTIL THEY CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

The people he's talking about here have charisma levels somewhere around the Mariana Trench and it would be fucking amazing if they tried making tiktoks

You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.

Two U.S. service members and one American civilian were killed and three other people wounded in an ambush on Saturday by a lone member of the Islamic State group in central Syria, the U.S. military’s Central Command said. https://to.pbs.org/48CWw04

FernGully!

a lot of people are reacting to this take as if he said the speed limiter would make you unable to go over the limit for any given road at all. that isn't what was said. cars could be limited so they can't go above 70 or so across the board. you would still be able to pass people if needed

I didn't actually realise this was good for accessibility; I was concerned it might be otherwise (and many of you probably aren't aware you can delete link text after the preview is created). Really good to learn these little things that make everyone's lives better on here.

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw

it's gonna be really painful watching her win the primary then get btfo in the general. hope I'm wrong but ...

An astonishing percentage of Americans are open to car-free living. The problem isn't attitudes. The problem is the failure to invest in viable options. humantransit.org/2025/12/many...

Swiss singer Nemo, who won the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, has decided to return the winners' trophy.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

The truly depressing part of this ad is how misanthropic and miserable it is. "The holidays suck, wouldn't you rather just go to Mcdonalds?" To have a village, you must be a villager. But our society is controlled by losers who can't even handle the mild inconveniences of having people who love you

I thought these tech companies said AI was meant to make video production easier? lol

Parker if Gavin Newsom thinks tying himself to Joe Biden is going to win him an election I think we should give him every opportunity to say so because clearly he’s even less politically savvy than he seems

lol

Civil liberties advocates have decried the case against him as “guilt by literature.”

my tiktok algorithm is disturbingly accurate to so many specific details of my life except for it seems to think ive been to college. I guess I should be flattered? I dropped out of high school

I think WAY too many people quote Martin Niemöller’s damn poem and, not understanding his history, don’t get that it’s literal not metaphorical. He didn’t stand up for those groups and regretted it BECAUSE no one was left to speak up when the Nazis DID come for him in the end. 1/2

Here’s the breakdown for the episode. I know it’s easy to dismiss because it involves Milo, but he’s acting as an “expert” here, warning Tucker’s Fans. The gay stuff is simply not something many of them are focused on…trans stuff yes. And I can see Tucker becoming more and more focused on this.

Let me get this straight: we trained this guy to be an elite killer, abandoned his country to the Taliban, isolated him, arbitrarily banned him from working and so left his family unsupported. I don’t know if there’s any more efficient way of producing a mental health crisis outside of torture.

Just bought my gf's Christmas present! Very excited to give it to her!

idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

Turning Point at OU posted this girl's essay in full and man is it rough

Sec of war confesses to war crimes while trying to dunk on the MSM

“There are no clean demarcations between feminism and its backlash and the backlash to the backlash, between progress and regress. It was always fanciful to conceive of progressive victories as permanent, just as it was a shortsighted fantasy that edgelord heterodoxy would remain cool.”

The way a 'nation' simultaneously means some land, a government, that government's military, the people, AND a nebulous set of ideas that are seen as that nations ideology (even if it makes no sense and not that many people believe much of it)

If I'm understanding this correctly, the man who shot two national guards in DC was a former Afghan child soldier who fought alongside US special forces and in a CIA-supervised unit and later was granted asylum. The word "blowback" comes to mind.

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

your 14yr old nephew is addicted to at least 4 different gambling apps on his phone where he's actively betting daily on the outcome of individual skirmishes in a real life war happening on the other side of the globe

Thanksgiving with the in-laws. my sister in law's boyfriend, who is older than her dad, tells a story about a guy he plays poker with called "asian pat"

As I keep saying, the liberal left should be less defensive about the culture war. You're goddamn right we started the war, it's a holy war against millennia of oppression and we damn well mean to finish the job

I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other

does anybody on urbanist/bicycle bluesky know a real policy solution to the problem of people cycling and scootering the wrong way in bike lanes? it is so scary. all I can do is shout "wrong way!" as I pass them. a couple times I've avoided a head on collision by just a few inches

steve harvey voice : we asked one hundred people, "who's a good girl? who's a good puppyyyy? who's the best puppy in the whole wide world? is it you? are you the good girl?"

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

BREAKING: Two National Guard members have been shot in Washington, D.C., and their condition isn't known, AP source says.

Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

I had wondered whether they would be just as gleeful if it were their own family members being deported. I guess we have the definitive answer. These people are evil to the core

looking at your phone should be just as socially stigmatized as if you took a big chug of beer while driving. if a friend does this in front of you, you have a moral obligation to tell them to cut it out. tell them they should pull over right away.

all of my apps used to feel so new and shiny 10 years ago and now they feel dirty. I have a bajillion Amazon wishlists

In 2018 I wanted to see my extended family but knew my uncle would start a fight with my dad (uncle is MAGA and my dad is liberal, both are alcoholics) so I procrastinated and arrived 3 hours late, after my dad had already been kicked out. I got to see my cousins drama free that year

Congress wrote into the law that someone who overstays a visa while applying for asylum is not considered to be accruing “unlawful presence,” but it didn’t explicitly say those people couldn’t be arrested and detained — because it was presumed that they wouldn’t be. Well, Trump is doing it.
