"Donald Trump’s so-called Department of War is threatening to cut ties with Anthropic because it won’t help the Pentagon conduct mass surveillance on Americans or make fully autonomous weapons that the administration can use however it likes." newrepublic.com/post/206631/...

Hilarious how I'm so creative yet my bloodline literally ends here. Sorry ancestors!😂😂😂🙏

Anyway, Microsoft's gaming products are subject to a boycott from the BDS movement, due to Microsoft's ongoing support for the IDF. Bethesda is owned by Microsoft. nogamesforgenocide.com

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants" No you don't. If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Playing a strategy game after learning military history for animation writing, I am now like "I hope this isn't Hitler's mistake," "Oh, no, I'm being attacked unexpectedly and I arranged my forces the way Hitler did," "Fuck, I'm losing in a foreseeable defeat." The mistake...

Because Newsom is too boomer to know the Avatar version of this. He tried to call Leavitt the North Korean propagandist, but he doesn't realize that pointing out problems with the US by comparing it to an Asian country is markedly white supremacist.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1788

If you know any famous authors who "have internet" and who are quiet on Epstein right now... Ask yourself whether they were good enough to be worth it.

America has never known a January this fucked

"I need generative AI for placeholder assets" you are a pathetic baby. a tiny wimp. look at this. perfect. no notes. idea placeholder

If 1984 was written by a brown person, there's no way the little snitch ass bitches would have been portrayed as regular people in society. Especially with how we're seeing how we're bombarded with them all over the place & they're the moldiest weirdo freaks. Wasn't Orwell a snitch at some point?

Being a minority be like...but to every white person.

i'm way less scared of civil war ii erupting than i am of absolutely nothing changing as things get worse and worse & the entire media apparatus pivots to pretending that using 5-year olds as bait to try and lure people out of their houses before also arresting the 5-year olds is normal

bonus points for Del’s Razor: “how awesome it is to be in love with a woman - something that was really cool when i was growing up”

People talk about unity when their politics makes them unacceptable to be had in a civilized society. It's a thought terminating cliche to just say "Shut the fuck up" when a person has no real defense. Nazis say "You're being divisive" they're afraid you're realizing they don't belong in society."

Wild how the Trump admin coined the idea that federal workers should dread coming to work each day, and gleefully asked that the workers be traumatized about having to come to work for the public each day... ...And then denounces harassing ICE. Pick a lane.

I agree with these recommendations, but I also have to warn that you want to read those sentences on the historical background closely. A lot is said quickly. Satrapi focuses on the personal experience, which is smart, but it becomes a different book if you don't get the Iranian history.

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

Shout out to this goat who went on a 3 minute rant about the failures of the US and landed every kickflip. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQL4...

Pretty fucked up that the one person in the country with the legal authority to end the world is someone you wouldn’t leave your kid alone with.

International conventions should not be hosted by American cities until further notice. It is not a safe location for an international audience.

I mean, they corrected an unforced error done by the GOP that they allowed because Chuck Schumer thought that letting us all die was good for electoral politics. The worst part. THE WORST PART is that electoral politics have shown that the GOP does not lose support when they set us up to die.

I am glad to see countless US folks now reaching the conclusion that voting "Democrat no matter what" is not acceptable when they're supporting murder or genocide - the US was always going to implode into fascism unless the Democratic party was forced to be better than "we're not the Republicans".

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

There's something triggering to me when a murder machine does a lot of murder and I beg people to care, and then a white person is killed in the machine and suddenly people are activated.

And you know that’s a bad thing right? …you know that’s a bad thing right????

Jan 6th rioter: “You can't gaslight me. I was there — I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down & hit his head & his back — So don't be telling me it wasn't violent. Don't come to me with that ever again”

Do you think time travelers are like "New (to me) year"?

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

I don't know who needs this, but... ...Actually, we all know who needs this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7jO...

Everybody hates it and any claims that “this happens with any disruptive tech” are obvious and pathetic cope. Shut down your AI depts and take the L large corporations. This is not it

Hot take: Julio Inglesias and Charlie Kirk have the same last name. If your name means the same thing it's the same name.

If someone was like "The issue with Judaists" it would be overtly clear without knowing what they mean that this person is very anti-semitic. But people say "Islamist" like it's a fucking word like "Christianityists." "Islamist" is a racist dog whistle to minimize a religion as an ideology.

Babe, I am not mad if you have, but have you, by any chance, been navigating AAA game climbing puzzles?
