This is Asimov AF…

He read all the headlines about millennials killing retail shopping and thought that was like, with guns.

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day to all who celebrate

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

The press lost its shit for weeks at the mere thought of referring to Trump and his political movement as "fascist." Republicans meanwhile use every -ist epithet they can muster against Democrats of any stripe and the press doesn't say a word.

Steve Bannon: If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

It's getting harder to think of things that antisemites allege Jews do that aren't also things that Elon Musk and his tech bro friends actually do.

How on earth is Andrew Cuomo so incapable of pronouncing Zohran Mamdani's name? by John Travolta

Attention Bluesky! Show me the X-Men

20 years ago I was in London for Bonfire Night. Miss it.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin. How times change.

what did anonymous do on the 5th of november

If there was such a rich person, I run an underfunded media org that would love to be able to hire more people to cover issues related to democracy. *hint* *hint* www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

What’s great about capitalist stooges losing credibility (besides everything) is that their increasing desperation just leads to more and more debasement that then erases any of their remaining credibility and makes the whole game more obvious with every passing day.

Ramsay Snow just endorsed Andrew Cuomo

Not what it’s used to describe.

HE'S GONNA PUT WEIRD TIME SIGNATURES ON IT AND SHIT

Watch out for Ea Nasir this Halloween!

Uh oh here comes ANTIFA

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

No way Dracula isn’t slow at adopting tech. He finally got talked into joining Facebook, and that’s still his only social media.

Ah yes, "We the Democrats" is definitely what a Republican official in a Republican administration meant when she said "your government is failing you...we have failed you"

Intellectual diversity is important, critical we have both people who report history accurately and those who lie about it.

Every time I open a new sponge: why didn't I do this sooner?

If Trump’s fascism is so bad, why aren’t the students protesting? We asked three right-wing oligarchs who bullied their alma maters into enforcing total bans on freedom of assembly on campus.

Stephen Miller says that he wants to build a fascist totalitarian police state. Democrats agree that this is what he wants to do. The truth is more complicated.

"both the left and the right are mad at me, so i must be doing something right" is a really stupid way to be a politician, whose goal it is to have a constituency that supports you

Final Fantasy has gotten a lot of extra mileage out of Lightning as a cameo in their mobile games - I think they should give her a new game. Lightning Returns Again.

As @gelliottmorris.com notes, the welcomePAC report on Dems shows that the least popular parts of the Dem agenda are things not on the Dem agenda, while the least popular parts of the GOP agenda are things Trump has done this year. open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

I keep banging the drum that genAI doesn't save time but creates it. Even if you personally save a couple minutes, that time gets kicked down the road and compounded, sometimes back to you but often to someone else who now has to do their job *and* deal with yours.

should not have let the gamergate people run the country bad idea all around

"The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging." I wonder what kind of content mechaHitler will force feed into everyone's feeds 🙄

If the government won’t force the Wikimedia Foundation to start producing conservative propaganda, I’m going to become an even bigger libertarian.

the only interesting (still worthless) thing about AI is visualizing dream logic. this is what a dream about playing a game would look like

1969: ARPANET was created to keep the network operational even if individual computers go down. 2025: AWS goes down and takes half the world's services with it.

worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries we’re not rolling back anything in US history here, we’re rolling back the English Civil War

It’s fitting that he thinks Darth Vader was the good guy

You simply cannot be a political journalist today if you don't know the deep ins-and-outs of the nonsense conspiracy theories. Because people will just constantly say stuff that is blatantly false and you NEED to be ready to call it out with receipts.

whomst amongst us

It was also covered in the Superman movie.

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works (15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

It's less than 24 hours after 5-8 million Americans marched against a president who called them domestic terrorists, and there is zero reference to it on the current NYT home page, except for a Bouie op/ed that came out several days earlier.

Watched The Twits, felt very of the moment.

Irving Kristol used to say there were two types of conservatives: anti-state, and anti-left Most of the anti-state ones became NeverTrumpers and bailed in Trump's first term All that remains of the GOP are the anti-left, people w/ zero convictions beyond supporting whatever the left opposes

Happy No Kings Day to all who celebrate, and double to those who don’t as it annoys them so much.

This is how we do it in Alaska.

I know the whole democracy/republic thing has gotten very political, but also part of the idea of electing representatives is so they can tap experts and gain expertise or rely on it to make good decisions for all.
