donald trump insulting a tragically murdered beloved director, starting an aggressive and illegal war in venezuela for no reason, then the epstein files hopefully finally releasing this friday is a generational run of potential worst possible week for any president in awhile

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

Yep. Mark Kelly, who expects us to have his back vs Trump and Hegseth, and who absolutely will NOT stop sending texts asking for $$$, says your trans family members can go fuck themselves.

This is what the elites who installed Trump did it for. Not the only reason, but the main one. This is the explicit outcome they were trying to engineer.

sowing // reaping

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

Never forget the time in 2020 Charlie Kirk (dead now) pretended to be a black guy on Twitter but forgot to switch accounts when giving himself a nice compliment.

they don't need to convince you what everyone already knows is obviously true. you needed to be told you were mourning charlie kirk, actually

This is wild: Jason Clinton is the deputy CISO of Anthropic. Also a mod of a queer gamers Discord. Clinton forced a version of Anthropic's AI on the server, despite the community's wishes, and it's killed the server. AI was reading messages it shouldn't be too www.404media.co/anthropic-ex...

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care. A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn. The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased. Our latest wild story.

the “you should love ai” line is best outlined by a recent joe rogan episode. he LOVES ai music and always tells guests this. a guest pushed back on him saying “i’ve heard ai podcasts are amazing too” and joe rogan immediately pushes back. losers love it until it comes for them

it’s interesting to see so many MAGA folks acting shocked at Trump’s statement, which is basically the same as every Trump statement I’ve ever seen

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Once in a century political opportunity here, if only there were a party to claim it

These people want leftist and liberals to come back to Twitter so badly. They give all kinds of reasons, but the fact is without them the Nazi bar marinates in its own juices and they can't stand it.

yeah fuckin rub it in why dont ya thanks

The media is entirely responsible for Donald Trump in our lives and Elon Musk as well. Real engineers and scientists knew he was a moron long ago. I was told repeatedly by my brother and his nerds at JPL that Elon was a dolt. But tech press don't know shit either and access is the name of the game.

seeing grown ass adults be furious that cena lost really gives me energy not in a "ha ha they're dumb" way but in a "aw they really wanted him to win, and are pissed that the bad guy won" nature-is-healing kinda way Gunther's got guaranteed murder-hate heat for years off this and i'm THRILLED

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

At the risk of sounding stupid this kind of thing is why I post about writing porn when I write porn. When they slam the Internet shut on porn it's sex and sexuality they're trying to stifle; they're foreclosing on the possibility of adults being free people, and it behooves antifascists to say so.

Never forget that when conservatives couldn't win in a democracy they didn't abandon conservatism; they abandoned democracy.

It's a big club sandwich, and you ain't eatin' it.

im serious nobody should go to these games

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

“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

this "5-week struggle" thing is so hilarious to read in retrospect. i remember this really well and at the time this limbo period was considered an intolerable and even dangerous state of exception. democrats even talked about conceding like it was necessary for the good and stability of the country

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

Really important to get rid of Schumer/Jeffries before midterms. Think of UK where Labour/Starmer didn’t “win” rather Conservatives lost. Then cuz Starmer has fatal case of Schumer/Jeffries consultant brain disease, the nation loathes him. They are tumors, will destroy anything electorate builds

The Democratic Party's formula for the last 50 years has been "Let's be friendly with extreme wealth and maybe we can also get modest policy wins sometimes." The last 10 years and this year in particular should be conclusive proof of how badly this has failed. But we're stuck with it anyway

mark, we are trying to help you. if you guys don't get with the program and stop standing in the way of the idea that government should do things for regular people, your risk is not going to be higher taxes on your income, it's going to be seizure of your assets

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

An yglesias flashback

When the issue was forgiving student loans, there was a lot of grumbling from the older generations about it, about how they had done it the hard way (even though costs were much lower then) and the Kids Today should too. But when it comes to Kids Today doing the actual work? Meh, they don't care.

I mean TIME could have given Person of the Year to “The Humble Capybara”

this bitch turns his phones and voicemail off to constituents on off-hours

Quite the day for Trump: The defeat below, the defeat in Indiana, the defeat on the latest Letitia James case, the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, really bad poll numbers (his handling of the economy numbers threatening to fall into the 20s) He's losing it politically as fast as he is mentally.

🚨 URGENT!!!!!! Congress is trying to ram through 18 massive censorship/surveillance laws TODAY 🚨 CALL THESE REPS NOW and tell them —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO to age verification laws —NO to the SCREEN Act —NO to digital ID laws (App Store Accountability Act) badinternetbills.com

Pretty sure they lost their luster when the trailers for generic gun games started outnumbering the actual awards presented.

Prompt: Darth Vader fucking Scar in the bumbum with a dildo that looks like Olaf. They’re both enjoying it. Sarabi looks on disapprovingly. Sam Altman is watching.

Rich Dipshit Says Something is like 80% of news articles these days

Great to see @gallego.senate.gov absolutely savaging Republicans for helping cover up Trump's illegal killings. As I've been arguing, Dems should be taking *that* approach. Hound Republicans mercilessly until they agree to get to the bottom of all of it: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

This is 100% the correct (and obvious) move by Dems and they need to do it Every. Single. Time: counter Republicans strongarming companies/schools by openly and directly saying "we will be in charge in like a year and will absolutely make this cost you." www.semafor.com/article/12/1...

Stop printing lies in the newspaper. There need to be consequences for printing lies in the newspaper. He literally says and believes exactly this, several times per day and on camera.
