NEW: DC grand jurors reject more Justice Dept cases Former DOJ attorney: “Not only have I never heard of this happening, I've never heard of a prosecutor who's heard of this happening” www.cbsnews.com/news/d-c-gra...
Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
The dirty little secret is there has been zero American casualties and thus the public doesn’t care and won’t punish Trump politically
Everyone has a second full time job being mad at the government now
I am honestly quite worried about Chicago, and begging the national press to report it as what it is: an invasion of a US city by the national guard of another state at the behest of a fascist president for purposes of terrorizing the people into submission. There is no legitimate debate about it.
This is legitimately insane in the like “Tsar taking advice from Siberian mystic” sense
The route from DC to Boston is 475 miles. This would be an hour and a half without stops. Probably 2 hours tops with them. It could go from DC to New York in 45 minutes. We could have this if we didn't suck.
Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
I would rather watch someone interview lumber at a Home Depot.
Scott Jennings and Ben Shapiro are currently both sitting at a panel table on CNN, not OANN. Seems like a pretty good barometer of where things are in this country. 😕🇺🇸

Truly perfect evidence that bluesky wishcasting has done more to infuriate the Trump admin than anything Newsom has done or said in the past month.
I liked him better when I thought he was dead.

Real evil shit.
Dragon con remains undefeated.
lol
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
This is really bad if you like fighting game competition stuff, but it is probably great if you are a top fighting game competitor in full on grifter mode looking for a payday and you don't care where the money comes from and are probably going to pivot into right wing podcasting soon.
Fucked up that this entire calamitous string can all be traced back to Mr Wizard being a pedophile
It just feels like the corporate news media are getting dumber and dumber the longer this regime is in power It's straight up mask off propaganda for morons lol
Bro thinks he’s going to heaven LMAO
they asked some XIV staff to sing it so it would sound "authentic," so when I did a convention panel tier-listing FFXIV music, I ended it by asking everyone to stand up and sing Measure Of His Reach (the Ala Mhigan one) and I swear to god it's truly an emotional ass kicker like that
alright "evo is now saudi-owned" and "kanye hooking up with jeffree star" are enough to make me log off on their own from the psychic damage
Anyway come play mahjong
This could have been avoided, but I saw the writing on the wall years ago that this was the only direction the "fgc" wanted to go, and this is it's only logical conclusion.
F
we've got to stop using the social network as a network to be social on, and start thinking of it more as doing an unpaid marketing and customer service job for a tech startup, so we can recruit more people to do that unpaid marketing and customer service job with us
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
A thread full of people complaining that it's unfair that intelligent empathetic people don't want transphones on the site.
Every AMV on tiktok looks like shit because of this
the internet was a mistake (not joking)
A bunch of devil worshipers want people to be excited about Legends Z-A but in god's house there's only one LEGENDARY ZA
Whoever decided the two hands on the wheel warning on a Jetta should be on top of the lane assist at the bottom of the dash instead of the big empty space at the top should be fired. Car slamming on the brakes at highway speeds because I'm looking at the road and not the most useless spot on dash.
Current cars take way too much out of driving then they should. Automatic cruise control speed adjustment, driving within the lanes just contributes to distracted driving because the car is doing nearly all of it.
This is literally every problem Boomers rant against UBI because they would be getting money from the government they don't need and don't understand that determining whether they need it is more expensive
Broken record territory rapidly approaching, but once again: Homelessness is not a societal inevitability. It's a policy failure. This is a solvable issue with a known solution, even under capitalism, because that solution is less expensive than the current responses. We just don't want to do it.
Something blue states will need to explore: how to create cross-state compacts dedicated to a functioning government as the Trump administration walks away from it's responsibilities.
this is based on multiple phone calls from inside where you could hear alarms in the background, but the response from the camp commandants is that none of this happened, it’s all lies, nothing happened 100% chance of concealed deaths in there if you ask me
For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society
Every time you use ChatGPT or something like it, you’re helping to train an algorithm that is actually being developed to do things like this
Been so long since I've used my own laptop I'm wondering why it was already at 55% after like 30min, forgot I set the battery to max out at 75% charge anyways.
What people think they 80s were like versus what the 80s was actually like.
It's pretty wild to me how much my company cares about customer service and feedback for like, all 3 million of our users, while the people at the top of video games like Marvel Snap provide basically zero customer service and don't give a shit if you ever get assistance.
Don’t look away
One of the things the Nazis did when coming to power was push propaganda that Jews were criminals and prone to violence by focusing on crime committed by Jews or fabricating crime they falsely attributed to Jews. The last 36 hours on X has been this on a massive scale against trans people.
Like Cowboy Bebop? Did you know there was a PS2 game only released in Japan? Did you know I released a full English translation of it that you can play now? Check it out here: github.com/SONICMAN69/B...

The year is 2009. Conservatives are saying Call of Duty is solely responsible for mass shootings The year is 2025. Conservatives are saying Call of Duty is solely responsible for mass shootings
I expect Yam Tits to be making this a big issue in the coming days Anything to distract from him being a kid diddler
New: In 7 months, Kennedy has broken the CDC, perhaps irreparably. For all he’s done with mass firings, gutting expertise, and attacking vaccines, Wednesday’s loss of its most senior and competent leaders—truly the CDC’s backbone—is the most consequential attack yet. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/c...
It’s crazy that America just like. Destroyed science. Just looked at its golden goose and went “wow should we kill this? And not for the gold, but just because we fucking hate this thing” And if you tell random people about it they go “no, that doesn’t seem true” and just refuse to believe you
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
this is a scene straight out of a war zone. the president has declared war on his own country.
I’m wondering if it was a mistake to let a thin-skinned, anti-science nepo baby lead the nation’s health and medical agencies
Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus" 1) doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here 2) doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead and 3) is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Cannot comment on IGN specifically, but every media layoff I’ve survived has this unbelievably stupid lie as a talking point from on high: “of course you won’t have to do more work!” And now it’s often tacked on to “AI will help!” bsky.app/profile/nath...
ohmigod this is true and holy shit
Check this shit out motherfucker *embargoes own country*
It's good these kids are with the ghost man we made up because he loves them more than their parents and family and friends
it's important to realize that DOGE and Trump affirmatively *want* there to be more identity theft and foreign infiltration of our government. Identity theft and pig butchering pushes up crypto prices (huge Trump donors) and foreign infiltration has overwhelmingly benefited Trump in elections

After the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, Pope Leo retweeted this from Senator Chris Murphy: “Your cowardice to act cannot be whitewashed by thoughts and prayers.”
Update: it got funny again
A friend has opened up a Mahjong center in the Atlanta area. It's a really cool place, offering lessons and play spaces, with (I think) 5 autotables available for rent now. It's a really great place to play many types of mahjong, I highly recommend it! atlmahjong.com
This is a good article
For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE
Trump administration so shit they can't even indict a ham sandwich lmao
Scoop: Third Way is circulating a memo, shared first with @playbookdc, featuring a new blacklist of words Dems shouldn’t use. www.politico.com/newsletters/...
Cool we've already hit our daily requirement of trump saying yet another impeachable thing in any other administration and it's barely noon
How many school shootings have already happened when it's barely week1 for half the country?
Context: The guard is picking up trash in DC because Trump and the Republicans gutted DC & the parks budgets.
This is literally dictator shit

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books
the democratic party leaders are still operating in a world where israel is popular, it’s just not true and until they reverse course on israel they will continue to have branding issues
NPR: “A whistleblower says a former senior DOGE official now at the Social Security Administration copied the Social Security numbers, names & birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud lacking adequate security...” www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n...
the only real application for generative ai i have seen so far is that it makes people want to kill themselves
Is Sky Ride a credit?
It is unclear what this will actually achieve. Regulations are not stopping AI from doing stuff. They have all the money in the world, AI startups are allowed to run inefficiently and unprofitably, data center development is unimpeded by the government, funding is unimpeded...what do they even want?
The only reason they’re doing this is to try and get AI embedded in public policy so when the bubble bursts the companies get bailed out with our tax money. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if there’s massive bribes happening behind the scenes right now.
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
It’s really upsetting that we are *still* having to say this. Without stability you don’t get tenured devs. Without stability you don’t grow an industry because you’re bleeding talent. Without stability your industry slowly dies as more people recognize there isn’t a professional future there.
Every day we get a new scandal that should be career-ending for people working at the highest levels of government but we see this stuff so often the public barely flinches. Today, we learn DHS isn't keeping text message records for its leaders americanoversight.org/american-ove...
People underestimate joy as a political resource. It pisses off all the right people & allows us to move toward practically imaginative solutions.It’s powerful to say, as Mamdani does&others should,I love these people/this place&we’re going to make it thrive.Political version of twirling on haters.

okay, I'm bringing my "FFXIV mods have ruined too many of you" take onto main, because literally what the fuck is this. I shouldn't be getting Google notifications about third-party tool petitions. twelve at the fucking table, y'all
Stalin beat the Nazis. This is fascist iconography.

once again passing by to explain that the scheduling feature does require a paid backend server to work and you're basically paying for that specifically if it was free, everyone would use it and i would go broke from the bill from that server (both from processing cost and storage cost for media)
