Everyone's asleep so have this picture of Emma Goldman that looks just like Nathan j Robinson
i constantly think about this post
chuck schumer should stick to what he's good at: teaching people about safe food handling
would have had to see this like 100k times but it would probably be worth it for a decent shot at ending the catholic church
a distinction I've found helpful is, instead of saying "law isn't real" [nihilistic, defeatist] repeating @coffeezilla.bsky.social's tagline "crime is legal" [open-ended, full of possibility]
there's no longer a plausible argument for ignorance. republicans know where sexual abuse of minors comes from and are actively working at every level of government to protect abusers. conservatives would rather be allowed to beat their kids than have a functioning society.
he should bring it full circle and hire benny johnson again
mayor mamdani, it's time to build gersh kuntman a mech
people will write themselves into oblivion trying to convince someone, anyone, that william f buckley jr was an interesting person and not an insecure, sneering, gutter racist but every additional word of his they dig up only reaffirms that very simple telling of his so-called intellect.
Do you at least recognize how everyone who makes this point starts talking about d voters and candidates interchangeably like you're doing here?
oh no i would hate to alienate voters so bad my party got more votes than any candidate before or since in the entire history of our country bsky.app/profile/mark...
who exactly is "us" michael? Because the only people who had a harder time winning elections when people were talking about defunding the police were republicans.
It's you you are "it working." You are doing the work and attributing it to some imaginary cabal
“A [Marsha] Blackburn spokesperson said she is against the public’s use of computer-assisted facial recognition to identify ICE officials but supports police use of the technology.” www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
"that's supposed to be our job"
Ah I see they called National Guard Total Landscaping. Could happen to anyone.
Whenever it happens it’ll be so funny to see the Gavin Newsom account drop kayfabe and be all respectful
We should just pretend he’s dead. If we say it often enough, we can gaslight his followers into believing it. “That’s not him, he’s dead. It’s all AI. Don’t tell me you fell for that.”
Just heard someone ask for a half-caf americano. Diabolical order.
it is in many ways the exact opposite of chatgpt. gpt produces words based on probabilistic inference, babel sends explicitly arbitrary characters through a deterministic bidirectional algorithm so there's no training data with that series of characters. it's more like making a calculator say 80085
Regarding the tragic death of Adam Raine, there are already narratives forming that blame vague "dangers of AI" or a broader moral panic. But this is not a story about the faceless perils of superintelligence. It's about a $500 billion tech company's core software product encouraging child suicide.
Well? Are you not having a real bad time?
dude will be "ironically" throwing up the elon salute by the end of the year
Not really looking for budgeting advice from the guy giving Sam Worthington 10 million dollars
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
I guess you could argue this administration has increased democracy because the rich have always been able to extract themselves from the rule of law, they're just significantly lowering the bar for who can afford it
Exactly why the rw isn't funded by the rnc, it's rich conservatives (who prefer to remain unmentioned) doing carpet bomb funding whereas liberal funders (not just dnc but eg non-profit donors) tend to be more busy-bodied credit-wanters. They're buying reputation instead of outcomes.
kinda crazy that zuckerberg was right that everyone was going to live in a privately owned alternate reality but somehow didn't realize that they had already built it
If you have $4 a month you should subscribe to the only podcast that has ever improved my mental health, @neverpo.st. they're having a member drive and are ever so close to their goal
Check this shit out motherfucker *embargoes own country*
one thing we're really lacking is a bunch of lazy guys who've never worked a real job in their lives telling us how to manage the optics and messaging of the same old democratic policies. if there were only guys who could tell us the right way to say the same old thing! this is why we lose
imagine actually writing the sentence "Hamas propaganda lines such as 'stop killing children'"
Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
This should be table stakes for any democrat who wants to be taken seriously
Next time the bulwark prints something necessary will be the first
day 45: I have earned the banchan's trust they still do not realize that I am a coleslaw
What it comes down to is: Should beautiful, interesting, entertaining things exist in the world, and should we spend our time making them?
they're writing beat sweeteners about rising courtiers in the trump dictatorship. sympathetic glowups of the people trying to rise to power by killing our children.
wow I'm still very bad at making money if you want to help me be less bad at it
If you're at Disney, look to your left, look to your right, if you don't see any children you are the child
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
also every deranged totalitarian has a kink for some exoticized out group
It's gonna be a bad time to live in research triangle or basically any sec town
If you actually thought that the president was sending troops into the streets of major American cities and having random masked shitheads disappear delivery guys off scooters to distract from grocery prices being higher, I feel like you'd seem angrier about all that than Hakeem Jeffries does.
could have prevented the SVB collapse. mostly because it would have prevented SVB's existence but still.
so we're just gonna leave it like that huh?
Good to see this get national attention. What Trump’s ICE chuds did to the Cottonwood School of Civics & Science should serve as a warning for all parents & all schools; the Trump regime doesn’t care about the safety of our children. Thanks, @timdickinson.bsky.social for reporting on this! 👇🏾
well then they'd be no better than texans
chatterton wrote the same article again so it's time to tap the sign
but getting a bomb threat is no different from getting yelled at if you never leave your house
I'm not a super close watcher of the space but, at a glance, all of them?
god i wish you had enough sense to be embarrassed by this
they don't have the infrastructure to enforce it broadly though, so twitter will ignore and be fine bsky will attempt to comply and be hounded
and we all know elon musk is ruthlessly dedicated to that bottom line and would never pursue cultural influence over even the most marginal profit
1. Orlando citizens defied DeSantis and re-colored the rainbow crosswalk commemorating Pulse Nightclub victims. The DeSantis admin had the memorial crosswalk painted over black during the cover of night. Community members had it restored the very next day. Subscribe to support our journalism.
it is kind of funny that the only nominally left people still on twitter are chapo and crooked. it's just a farm upstate for washed podcasters
These people are so unaware of being personally influenced by constantly immersing themselves in a firehose blast of Nazi propaganda that she doesn't even list that as one of the considerations www.theargumentmag.com/p/we-have-to...
Was grooming not illegal in Britain before 2022?
I knew an ex-Olympic athlete who was part of a state-sponsored Eastern Bloc doping program and he was shocked by the dosages of testosterone his cop buddies were taking. All these guys are loaded up on strip-mall TRT, resentment, and white Monsters.
Environmental Impact Studies: 1 YIMBYs: 0
We spent trillions on AI while China built renewable infrastructure, all because a ton of drug addled Silicon Valley freaks fried their brain on a potent combo of nazism and new age spirituality and thought they could invent God (who they would then own)
Yeah, this is definitely coordinated
I've always been sceptical of 'sunlight is the best disinfectant', but I looked it up and apparently it is healthier to hang laundry outside. So maybe that is what we should do with fascists.
One of the biggest cultural issues we have is that no major media or journalistic institutions have been reinforcing norms of what things *should* look like. That corruption isn’t normal, that cronyism isn’t normal, that lies and scandals should be punished, that incompetence is disqualifying.
Stanford not beating the Portal to Hell allegations
When it happens, you're probably not even going to learn about it directly before you feel it in the air. You'll just hear car horns and cheering in the streets. You'll feel confused, annoyed. You'll check your phone. Huh, 41 new texts.
Even granting that for being in congress, I think running can still offer a distinct set of relevant benefits
yes, it is the job of the mainstream media to just write down whatever people with long track records of making shit up say. if trump says hes strongly looking into bigfoot, the post should just do that. you guys dont get -- still -- how absurd you look circling these wagons.
doesn't have to end the actual voting process, the plan is clearly to just use it as a pretense to toss blue state electors
Never thought I'd see the day where a show like this could bring up Joey Salads without mentioning that he has, on camera, pissed into his own mouth.
I think he worked a lot harder when he honestly thought people cared what he had to say (Harvard tendency) while McArdle is there to cynically fill as many inches as possible to suffocate any alternatives to ideas that will make life worse for everyone (uchicago mba tendency)
Pussy hats may have been the end of this kind of thing but if anything ever happened to her, thousands of people marching in pink shirts and overalls would go so hard
they do not want to “solve crime” they want to punish cities for being liberal and they are succeeding at their goal
if you need a kind of volunteer firewatch for this sort of thing, sign me up
Wow I have not been keeping up with innovations in gun kata
i’ll never get over how blatantly and proveably lying is one of the best political strategies of the modern age
One of the worst parts of growing up and moving into the city was learning I would never find an apartment like the one in Wayne's world 2
Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.
If not reenlisting counts then we don't really need to do the sorting do we? As our former speaker would say: they sort themselves every day
“When he was taken into custody Friday morning, immigration agents tied his dog to a tree and then unclipped his collar, allowing the animal to run loose on Sepulveda Boulevard, according to the GoFundMe page.”
ga4, not annoying necessarily because it's the worst but because the reasons for making and forcing everyone onto it were so transparent and every way it sucks is 100% on purpose
Seizure medication, wheelchairs, Social Security cards, dentures, urns of ashes, work uniforms — just some of what's been thrown away during cruel, degrading, utterly counterproductive homeless sweeps. A good time to revisit this gutting @propublica.org story:
why's it look like she's being pulled into a black hole
Honestly the reddit deals are so undervalued someone should be prosecuted. If AI is the future or whatever, reddit is the single most valuable repository of the English language in existence. 70 million a year? For the only valuable recommendations on all business and consumer products?
Today on "is it dementia or did boomers stop incorporating reality into their worldview in 1990?"
I think it's also related to the conservative rhetorical strategy of speaking entirely in symbols until the underlying referents are obliterated. That's why Trump's tweets look like nonsense: they're full of anchorless hyperlinks
Trying to copy the famously successful strategy of saying your opponents have clear goals, a plan to achieve them, and strategies to forward those plans.
Losing my mind at all the Marxist name drops but no mention of Derrida or hauntology
Why do people only want to talk about the places where things happen?!?
Rip philz coffee. Your coffee tasted like old leaves but you were for some reason a bay area institution until your parasitic nepo baby chairman sucked the whole thing dry to fund his new career being a private equity dipshit.
Greetings! I’m here at a car caravan in downtown Los Angeles, and run by several unions and immigrant rights groups. A large turnout, they started at MacArthur Park and are now in downtown LA.
Every frame a painting, pop culture detective, Jacob geller. Also all of John berger's Ways of seeing is on yt
if you took this guy seriously in the past, that's embarrassing, but I've got no beef with you. If you take him seriously now, drop fucking dead.
there's nothing worse you can do for the cause of the left than turn online discourse to housing policy. that's one of the ten thousand ways you know these abundance fucks are an op
i truly cannot believe that frumpy cunt is still kicking around the national conversation. what a dogshit world to live in.
can anyone formally ask them to do stuff or just people who fucking suck
