Don't be evil? "Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while simultaneously removing apps designed to warn local communities about the presence of ICE officers..." www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Such a damn relatable video, I was internally screaming with her! 😤

Yeeeeeah Microsoft has been under the impression that they're the only game in town just because corporate inertia favored Office. But you fucking push somebody and they're going to realize Office-style software is pretty straightforward to make and there are gobs of competitors in that space.

I feel like healers and tanks deserve banter for healing and protecting the team the same way dps characters have voicelines for harming the enemy.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

If they win too much, imagine how hard it's going to be to find enough Krystens Sinema and Joes Manchin and parliamentarians to sabotage all the good things they'd totally love to do if they just had the votes.

"Is it smart for the democrats to keep pushing the Epstein issue as we go into the midterms??? Should the party downplay the international child trafficking ring reaching to the top of government? How well is not feeding kids to rich pedos polling in Iowa this week? Can we triangulate this somehow

A very happy birthday to the genius AKA Wendy Carlos! Incidentally, she shares a Nov 14th bday with Aaron Copland. youtu.be/Z3cab5IcCy8?... I just wish she wasn't so darn reclusive in her old age!

happy birthday wendy carlos

See, I told you. I TOLD YOU that the freaking filibuster is why the Democrats caved in and gave Republicans everything they wanted! Democrats sold out the country for an institutional privilege that doesn't even help them.

Step by step

A deal blocking Trump from doing an already illegal thing is not a 'deal' b/c (1) it was already illegal, (2) the admin does not give a shit if you make it double illegal, and (3) the ppl you're making the 'deal' with claim they have no power to force the admin to obey laws to begin with.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway: 1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

This is part of the tragedy of a surrender now. It invites more pain and suffering by emboldening the regime. Why should they listen to a weak opposition?

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too. This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.

And HEARTACHE!

Eek! They are right! I don't think these categories were there in the beginning. Everything was set to hide, for me. I wonder how many posts I've missed? Anyway, follow the instructions here. And thank you, OP.

It’s only a Guillotine if it’s from the Guillotine region of France. Otherwise it’s merely a sparkling wealth redistributor.

They know, and they’re afraid. So we need to be careful and keep the momentum. Scared fascists can be even more dangerous, so we need to make them understand where, exactly, and how precariously, they stand. And that there are more of us than them.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Hey! Bud! You sitting down for dinner right now? Too many of your comrades are going hungry. For a few bucks, you can help a ton of them. Do your part, homie

Fellow Angeleans! If you have the ability to do so, please consider a monetary donation to our local food bank, or call and ask what specific donations they might need during this time. Food banks accept donations of diapers and sanitary products, not just food! Let's help! www.lafoodbank.org

Being from a small town in Scotland, I can tell Elon that this has never happened, ever, and that he's a drug addled bawbag-eyed corned beef faced wank stain.

we would be a lot better off if all the energy devoted to polling and focus groups was spent informing the public about actual legislation

Pure cruelty. Officially, stores cannot give SNAP recipients preferential treatment absent a waiver, w waivers given to places encouraging healthy eating. So obvs a rule aimed at preventing junk-food places from targeting SNAP. This is … SO much not that. And this enforcement is a CHOICE.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Today's the day... All Hallows Eve... So here is Part 2 of the Nightmare Comic. (1/3) Best read on Tumblr: www.tumblr.com/bludragongal...

Such good stuff. The follow up, Part 2, is also awesome. This was based on a nightmare she had. In the nightmare, she was the reporter. There's also an animatic with voiceovers someone made of this. It's really well-done.

New book about Richard Cheese, of such notable hits as "Baby Got Back (jazz swing)", "Relax (torch song)", and "Down With the Sickness (lounge lizard)". You can find those songs after this post in this thread. In case it isn't blindingly obvious, I'm a big fan.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

"Seven of nine independent voters we interviewsd who are currently interned in the camps awaiting execution said they would vote for Trump third term if they survived that long."

"The next presidency is going to have to embark on a sweeping de-Trump-ification of the entire federal government to purge it of the culture of abuse and lawlessness that has taken hold, and there are few more vivid examples than ICE." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Bummer about the Louvre, that’s crazy Anyway I recently inherited some antique jewelry, and the holidays are coming up, so hmu if you’re looking for some gift ideas or a really luxe Halloween costume (maybe like a French emperor or something idk)

I wanted to explore Britton-Purdy and Pozen's explanations of the 'three competing narratives' of our political moment, so ... here it is. One narrative is transparently illegitimate; the other two are divided mostly by appetite for reform. www.unchartedblue.com/what-happens...

This article, which I highly recommend you read, is a thorough analysis of our current crisis, and the approaches to recover from it. It's a heavy read, but oh so clarifying. Thank you, @hunterub.bsky.social. www.unchartedblue.com/what-happens... #authoritarianism

If you are a "leader" being quiet on this now, know it will not be getting better anytime soon. The $171 billion for the secret police force is only just now starting to flow. They are on a hiring spree for proud boys. Politicians, businesses, media - get on the right side of this ASAP.
