A five-seat swing in the House could have… ❌Killed the Big Ugly Bill 📺Prevented public media funding cuts 💵Stopped ICE spending spree 🌎Reversed Trump tariffs Republicans know they can’t win on policy, so they’ve resorted to stealing seats. That’s why we need to vote YES on Prop 50 on Nov. 4, 2025.
The thing the mainstream media is not remembering about Hurricane Katrina is their own lethal, racist contribution to treating rumors as facts used to demonize the stranded in New Orleans, turning them from victims to be aided to enemies to be contained.
We’re nowhere near a total understanding of natural systems
This is a weird one for many reasons but, personally my testicles are the part of my body I care the least about having microplastics in? Like I know it's crazy but to me my brain and other organs are more important than balls
We’ll make sure to invite you to the next one
Sources saying they saw JD Vance squeezing into President Trump’s skin before leaving for today’s golf outing
In 1977, Disabled activists occupied the Federal Building in San Francisco to demand the passage of Section 504— legislation to protect against disability discrimination.When the building was cordoned off, in an effort to starve activists out, The Black Panthers *Broke In* to deliver them hot meals.
Oops we forgot to put any story in the final season
“maybe it will happen today” - early 21st century american proverb
it’s illegal to embarrass me, you see
Something about the two stories about ChatGPT's involvement in suicides/murder that came out this week that really stuck out to me: OpenAI basically has a boilerplate response when their product gets people killed. "Deeply saddened" www.wsj.com/tech/ai/chat... www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
I didn't have it on my bingo card for Wired to be a stronghold of clear-eyed coverage of our current moment but I'm very glad it is
bloot
We're going to have to take big swings in any remotely possible pickup as well. Trump will have his voter suppression army. And the Dem donor/consultant class aren't our friends - they led us here.
Not sure what happens when we die. But I'd love for Trump to be able to see the spontaneous celebrations that are going to break out all over the world when his time comes
Anyone in the Democratic Caucus that received the "say it's a distraction" memo and did anything other than throw it in the garbage needs to be replaced with someone who isn't a consultant-brained sociopath.
It's also a failure to say "no fair, the media isn't paying attention" or whatever shit. MAKE THEM. STOP ACTING LIKE YOU HAVE NO AGENCY
Actions of TX dems, Pritzker, Wes Moore, Newsom, and even Hochul deserve praise, and we need more of it. Jeffries calling MILITARY OCCUPATION OF AMERICAN CITIES "a distraction" is a complete failure of PARTY LEADERSHIP. It's fair and right to criticize them for it.
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.
It really is fucking insane.
Well-behaved sandwiches rarely make history
this is an honest question. did you mean tbf
What else can you say really
jesus christ. we’re in such a fucked situation as a people
I don’t understand this attitude. Are we a fan club? Are we worried about hurting the feelings of the people best positioned to stop this shit?
What way do we have to “focus on the real problem” other than demanding action from elected democrats? Do you have an answer here? We’re not fans, we’re constituents. It’s reasonable to demand more from our elected officials!
Disgusting thing to say
Every time I see something like this, I am filled anew with rage at all the things we do in the name of safety for kids that don't actually make them safer, while ignoring all the obvious ways we could easily make them safer
Do I want my kids to grow up in a country with guns everywhere? Do I want to grow old in a country with privatized medicine and no safety net? It seems unthinkable to leave my communities, and I’m not sure if it’s even feasible. But I understand why people do it.
We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:
The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good
Depressing. I thought this was unique to American Democrats
Yeah it’s always like Senator Ted Cruz said something extreme but so did a sophomore at Oberlin
What an ugly time we’re in. I really hope we can handle this motherfucker and all his creeps
I always flip em off
sadly kind of easy to imagine since there are so many fuckin examples of it everywhere
oh come on, give up on this “that’s hypocritical” line. they’ve always been very consistent: the law serves them, and binds you
I think a lot of people in tech are probably feeling something close to despair about what to do about LLMs, since it’s clear that those with power are not going to relent with their advocacy, and they have enough uses that they’ve gained critical mass, yet the harms & risks are so wildly egregious…
Right on
And they never leave! They’re liars!
I’m sorry, but this is pathetic. Do you think our job as constituents is to protect the feelings of the people who represent us?
Dems don't want a platform, they want a vocabulary, and that is the fundamental problem
Sorry but that’s very dumb
Hmm, I think she's got it a little backwards about which side she's on
what a big whiny baby
they all do it already with the magsafe battery pack
Co-signed times a thousand. “Other people have no interiority” is, fundamentally, a deeply evil belief to hold which will lead you exclusively to terrible places
Is this in reference to some specific thing, or just being moronic for the sake of it
the #ZcavengerHunt is apparently so popular that campaign staff have run out of the cards you’re supposed to get stamped at each location, which means that tomorrow the NYT & the Post will definitely have headlines about how Mamdani is already overwhelmed & failing to meet the needs of New Yorkers
increasingly?? it was always 100% a pretext
Among other things, I want politicians who are not afraid to get a memo like this and throw it in the trash
Trump: I’m deploying the military to us cities Media: he’s fighting crime! Democrats: did you look at your electric bill?
Very sorry to hear that James Dobson died peacefully
Kinda wild seeing Rolling Stone, The Onion, and WIRED being like the only mainstream publications to understand the political moment we're in
or they just don’t care and it’s all a big game to them
Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.
I don't think you can really say that Dems walking out of Texas and going back was pointless when it seems to have given California the time to move the ball on their retaliatory measures.
lol I posted this too and was not ready for how many others did
seems like a turtle version of eyes wide shut if i’m seeing it correctly
All of his haters were handed taters at the table of success.
That’s not true, though. A larger share of Bernie primary voters voted for Hillary than Hillary 08 voters voted for Obama.
Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.
Just enraging what a liar this guy is
Another moronic take from this guy
not now, ancient penis worm with rings of sharp teeth
What is crazy is that NONE of these companies have any idea how to become profitable. They’re just all very convinced that they’re “very close!” to doing something that nobody has done yet
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
the ai bubble is bursting soon thank god
Someone else came up with the idea, but I'm convinced that he's just sundowning so hard that they're trying to make it look like mar-a-lago so he feels like he's in familiar surroundings
Fair if you pretend that the present frenzy of AI investment will last forever.
I guess they darted in front of the car
all the stupidest and most disgusting high-school boys you knew are now in charge of everything
Put that skeleton back in the mausoleum
They fired the people curing cancer.
Pretty sure they're saying "fuck you fuck you fuck you"
Cool, do you know anyone whose job that is?
I'd love for Roblox to be destroyed. But also, it'd be great if kids had actual places they could hang out together unsupervised
I agree that that type of doomerism is useless. But it's reasonable to worried. They've got their usual voter suppression toolkit, and a demonstrated appetite to use force and violence to meet their ends. Cities and States need to get creative about protection and not just hope for the best.
It sounds conspiratorial to suggest that Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump behind closed doors to launch an assault on mail-in voting in elections administered by the states, and Trump immediately set about mobilizing federal power to do it… but that is literally Trump’s account of what happened.
please respond with your explanation of why james gunn’s superman made so many people mad
that's like 1 out of 4 people in the country
Hi, I'm Andrew Cuomo. I'm sorry I groped your mom and killed your grandma, but if you give me a fifteenth chance, I promise to throw you out of your apartment.
still obsessed with kristen stewart and rob pattinson
I just feel like even if it is able to live up to the hype, it’s selling a dark vision of the future
So far it’s been very good for scammers and talentless morons who now think they can make art
creeps and talentless chuds try to erase history and culture every 100 years or so, many such cases
every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing
One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.
I know I’m begging for scraps and bones but I’m surprised they put the quotes on ‘Emergency’
It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4
Why don’t they just say it is witness tampering? I fell asleep reading the quote. I don’t understand the urge to constantly pretend we’re not seeing what we’re actually seeing
Similar dynamic coming from the Cuomos, Schumers, and Gillibrands IMO. Obviously it's not as horrible but it's worse than what we need
Criminalization as we know it originated primarily from fears of social disorder filtered through race, gender, class, etc.—not the need to prevent physical violence. Most crimes “on the books” have nothing to do w/physical violence. So when ppl want to go *beyond* the books, holy shit be worried.
Amazing how peak masculinity for a Republican is swearing that you’re too afraid to go outside
Weird that even so, there's a housing shortage because so many people want to live there. Doesn't make sense? Hmm, oh well, I guess I'll believe your ridiculous claims, no way to check
starting to get concerned that our news media isn't meeting the current moment
