I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

Anti-war march in NYC, organized overnight. Happening right now, 8th Ave. People care.

with all of the stories about the rise of solar energy we’ve seen in the last few months it kind of feels like America is doing regime change in order to secure the rights to billions of dollars in blockbuster gift cards

American history is just 'you let a motherfucker shenan once and sure enough they'll shenan again' ad infinitum Actions need to have consequences

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

And even now I'm sure *some* of those ppl are like "well this thing here is bad, but you still have to give him credit for handling DEI run amok" or some shit.

it's less that I even think this will necessarily accomplish something concrete (though it might!) but we have long crossed the line where going through the motions of serving in a normal government is actually unforgivable to me.

who gives a shit about power levers. if you don't even attempt to start the process of impeachment, the fuck is the point of anything. "step on me daddy. please rig the next election, daddy" bsky.app/profile/squo...

Something young people will also get to experience is helplessly watching the mainstream media work in unison to justify an obviously illegal and unjustifiable war You'll watch the machinery's gears whirring and wonder why elites are acting like they can't see or hear them

If you tell me that this is a distraction from the Epstein files I will block you into last week. For fuck's sake, people in other countries are actual human beings who do not deserve to be murdered. They are deserving of our attention and care. Their violent deaths should not be on our hands.

forget the long arc of history bending towards justice, I need the rube goldberg machine of inexorable consequence to endgame the kind of profoundly ironic yet blackly hilarious karmic downfall that would’ve had ancient greek theatergoers hollering at the chorus

what the fuck did I just wake up to

From where I started to where I landed: White pudding Lights Hog pudding Black pudding Pennyroyal

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

CBS fired the entire race and culture team for this. www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/nbc-...

“This is a seismic, long-awaited correction of the scientific record,” said Dr. Philip J. Landrigan… “It pulls the veil off decades of industry efforts to create a false narrative that glyphosate is safe…People have developed cancers, and people have died because of this scientific fraud.”

logically i know that march is a good amount of time away but also time is a social construct and it feels like its so soon lord have mercy

This is music education TURN IT UP!

Kittens are always happening to my baby sister.

Not a single fucking apology for who I'm about to become. #BTS #RunBeautiful 2026bts.com

Let's get back to fundamentals: webrings.

Hypothetically, if one finds kittens, and the kittens are following you about--what should a responsible human do next?

THREAD. Every year, I tell the story of Ezell Gilbert. It's the story of one of the most remarkable cases in U.S. history, and you’ve probably never heard of it. The story of what the U.S. government did to him is vital for understanding the current moment we are in.

I love her

Hi there. Isn't it interesting how the most popular TV shows and movies this year (Sinners, Kpop Demon Hunters, and Heated Rivalry) were all hyper specific stories, proving that "universal appeal" (i.e. appealing to white straight folks) is not actually that appealing?

So why did Tracy Flick become the descriptive character from Election and not the loser man in authority who destroys his own life Jim McAllister?

When Americans insist "it can't happen here," they’re wrong. A sociologist who studies collective memory and identity examines how the U.S. forgot its own fascist movements and what that collective amnesia means today. buff.ly/9mzgR3S

Anti intellectualism is one of the driving forces in our society

"Geo" share this video from where he's pruning cherry trees. "It is very cold out here. Start at 6: 30 am and it's breezy with a lot of humidity in the air. Our hands feel like they’re freezing. We work in 8 hour day and are paid CA minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

It’s no guarantee but the first thing you should do if you see an outrageous story that’s just an image or screenshot or video with no link to a reputable source is to check the replies and see if someone is saying “that’s an AI fake.” And then don’t spread it either way because it’s not sourced.

This has been a long time feature of most technological advances and it’s really strange how this is disconnected somewhat from the depictions of POC similarly …

Can magnetic fridge poetry show contrition. Do dice feel pain. Is this calculator my friend.

at every step, this current wave of technology has been built on a total lack of consent. their literal legal argument is, "this industry couldn't exist if we had to get permission from the people who made it possible" it was always going to be rotten. bsky.app/profile/priv...

this is how I got to "salt the earth" on the topic last night, and I'm going to remain there until we regain some sort of LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR THIS SHIT.

wild to me that journalists got so scared of being called “liberal media” that they spent my entire adult life dismantling their own industry, reputation, and personal moral compasses. now journalism is an explicit arm of corporate fascism and they’re STILL scared of “having lefty bias” accusations.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. #ICYMI, read the story that he wanted dropped:

These donations have to continue coming in. This period of silence about eviction is the only grace she's gotten and a window to gain the support needed to continue living with shelter PP: shockofthequeen16 Goal: $3000 #mutualaid #helpsky2025 #survivalmutualaid #emergencymutualaid

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

I just saw a video talking about the Tesla door safety problem and the number of comments that are like, "well you should read the manual" are...shocking. No, cars should be intuitively safe. Passengers are not reading the manual. Are you doing a safety briefing every time you give someone a ride?

So yeah this shit should be illegal. www.reddit.com/r/confession...

"Tummy bug" sounds way too cute for what it fucking is.

You can make LLMs say almost anything. A news organization reporting "what grok said" is engaging in journalistic malpractice. It doesn't know. It just creates plausible sounding words in response to a prompt.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.
