All the "supergeniuses" in Epstein's orbit are using the same dumb excuse: "I was naive," "I was tricked," etc. They weren't, they were corrupt and amoral. BUT...

From supermarket shelves to TV ads, the industry paints a picture of rolling pastures, happy cows, and chickens roaming free. The reality? Around 85% of farmed animals in the UK are raised in factory farms.

this is indeed one of the underlying values of conservativism - and one that's produced a lot of micro-level success for adherents. it's been a fantastic last 40 years for being a pathetic little worm who spends all day trying to meet and flatter wealthy dipshits.

A prime tenet of conservatism is to shamelessly suck up to those above you, and to exploit and punish those below. It’s the guiding principle of the insecure and greedy

Chris Hedges points out that all the supposed supergeniuses in JE's orbit are using the same dumb excuses: "I was naive," "I was tricked," etc. They're all morons, if only bc they committed stuff to email no smart person would. We should shout it from the rooftops.

This seems very, very (very very) bad for OpenAI.

‘The leftism leaving people's bodies when somebody mentions veganism’

A Golden Retriever barks for two days beside earthquake rubble, refusing to leave an injured cat behind. That sound led rescuers to both of them alive. Every being has a soul & is worth saving.

something else to ponder: Biden and Harris were the two worst performing of the major candidates, by orders of magnitude, until Obama maneuvered them onto the ticket. And here we are!

Donna Brazile leaked debate questions to HRC. Bernie also had to sue to get the DNC to release voter info he was entitled to. The real questions are: why don't you know these things yourself, and why are you carrying water for an org that, by your own definition, is undemocratic?

Bro is so high on his own supply that he sounds like ChatGPT when he talks now. This is the kind of shit dumb people who think they’re brilliant say

Please tell me why we need Democratic "centrists" again? Why? www.notus.org/money/tom-su...

I'm told that some leftist bro on another site claimed that Millennials and Gen Z hardly use public libraries anymore. Based on what data? NO DATA. In actuality, a survey from 2022 found that 54% of Gen Z & Millennials had visited a physical public library in the past year.

I thought it would be easy to find my "red line" as a federal worker working for a fascist regime. It's not. Change is happening little by little. We "still do good work". None of us wants to be alarmist or defeatist This interview of a professor living through the holocaust is worth a read👇 Night

The thing is, it is paltry for the city. But it’s huge for libraries. $491 million is what was allocated to libraries in Mamdani’s Preliminary budget. That’s 0.39% of $127 billion. If he lived up to his commitment of 0.5%, it would be $635 million!

“A tenth of a percent might seem paltry, but library budgets are on a tightrope (they nearly always are) and we’ve seen during previous funding deliberations that libraries need to quickly cut services and hours in response to even the smallest budgeting fluctuations.” lithub.com/new-york-may...

Excellent thread.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Never sell short the level of evil people will do when money is involved

Cut the check, Donald Trump.

every single piece like this should include a statement as to whether the writer is using a subscription to Claude or ChatGPT or if they're paying for the API, and if it's a subscription, the article should have a giant red sign that says THIS USER WAS SUBSIDIZED

so we paid the tariffs and now the corporations that passed the costs on to me and you are the ones that are going to be reimbursed, do i have that correct

How absurd and unjust that we’ve granted natural landmarks such as rivers & mountains personhood before animals

‘Viking’ was a job description, not a matter of heredity, massive ancient DNA study shows. “These identities aren’t genetic or ethnic, they’re social. To have backup for that from DNA is powerful.” [science.org]

Companies on the verge of bankruptcy signed a paper saying any tariffs refunds from a Supreme Court decision banning tariffs would go to Cantor Fitzgerald, Lutnick's son's company, for pennies on a dolar.

First of all who knows what took place and who bit what. But if this convo could in any way lead to my being disciplined or affect my personal working conditions, I request my steward or union officer (Jean) be present at the meeting. Without representation, I choose not to answer questions tbh

Virginia Giuffre’s Brother: It was disgraceful that Bondi couldn't even acknowledge us because if they did that, then they would admit wrongdoing. Our president can't do that. The reason is he is potentially implicated in these files. He may have to answer some questions himself.

"I've never heard of literally the most famous survivor (z'l) of the case that could put me in prison, who testified under oath that she was trafficked to me bw 3 & 10 times, & who mentions me in her NYT bestselling memoir about the harrowing case in question. And whose suicide also made headlines."

For those of you old enough to remember Uday & Qusay and Baghdad Bob, we really do have our cover versions.

Pretending none of this happened and enforcing no consequences isn't "healing," it's gaslighting. You don't leave this wound open. Republicans win because they match their voters' anger and meet them where they are. Good luck to future VP third choice @govandybeshear.bsky.social.

and republicans still can’t figure out why they’re hemorrhaging young voters tiffinohio.net/posts/ohio-g...

Suburbs are a pox.

The only acceptable Democratic posture to me is conquering the fascists, undoing their destruction, sending them to prison and razing their buildings.

I don’t want to be friends with Nazis. It’s not 2008 and you aren’t Barack Obama. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who understands the FDR/Truman approach to Nazis.

Oh my god, the guy who left his girlfriend on a mountain to die had done the same thing to a different girlfriend on THE SAME MOUNTAIN.

Conservatives spent years complaining about ”safe-spaces” and “liberal snowflakes” only to turn around and show they are absolutely terrified of ideas they don’t like (“racism is bad” “gender is fluid”) and willing to use state power to avoid the slightest discomfort. The snowiest of flakes.

Holy shit this cartoon.

This is the perfect example of a product whose main purpose is stalking.
