Oh yeah we do. He's right down there with Glem Greemwald, Pim Tool, "Man" Walsh but especially that effing Matty for being people I wouldn't piss on to put them out if they were on fire.
I love this!
Thinking about how the great Barbara Ehrenreich nailed one of the primary problems with modern journalism a full decade ago. “The real face of journalism today: not million dollar-a-year anchorpersons, but low-wage workers and downwardly spiraling professionals…“ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Are you morally deficient? We don't defend blue no matter who. If Clinton was on that plane, then we should see those files so we can eject him from the party. End of line.
Whereas here's hoping you don't get paid at all for being dense.
Nobody buy photography from this fool.
Eh, they probably bought crypto.
If you're making arguments on the behalf of labor-destroying LLM slop-factories, then you're either a shill or have no information. Get outta here.
If he wants to make that 'joke' so damn bad, he can pay an artist for it, then.
Agreed. Bad move, CC. Don't pollute our TLs with AI slop - how much water and energy just got burned? GN isn't presidential material; just because he gets one thing right doesn't mean he doesn't sacrifice entire demographics to his naked ambition.
Tech Policy Press fellow William Burns asks, "How could we build a world in which organized labor once again served as a counterweight to oligarchy? And what can reexamination of labor’s past reactions to automation and digital technology tell us about what is needed now?" From May:
honestly i don't think Americans care primarily because they view any form of social control/restriction as a personal affront, no matter the human cost. it's why you have the post-COVID anti-vax turn
Being lawless does not make Trump omnipotent – nor can he just snap his fingers and make all his authoritarian desires a reality. America is in an acutely dangerous situation. But obscuring those distinctions is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.
Remembering Fred Hampton born Aug. 30, 1948, assassinated Dec. 4, 1969 by Chicago police and the FBI
GOOD.
some white racists mad as hell today
Why would anybody think this was an okay thing to do - create such a bunch of useless hackery? Tax them.
Ok but hear me out, what if we taxed the fuck out of really rich people
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
Fred Hampton is one of my major political role models. He was assassinated by the Chicago PD (with the go-ahead from Hoover's FBI being an open secret), because he was too successful in both helping Black America and getting people to see the real enemy.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
Of course I'm unsatisfied with the country, Trump is tearing it to shreds.

The entire Republican Party really is "One set of rules for me, another set for thee", ain't it?
I am fine with spreading something for that reason!
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"

A civics quiz in which give of the first seven questions are anti-trans, the Constitution isn't mentioned until the 8th, and the only question about an amendment is about the 2nd.
The so-called 'Praeger U' is a theocratic authoritarian lickspittle organization and the only response they should get is mocking laughter.
Get rid of the lot of them and start over - starting with Schumer & Jeffries.
Yep corrupt-side-down.
Huh. Wonder if he'll ask follow-up questions about uncomfortable topics more on that show?
Well, sure. He's a false human being; if he plays up the 'character' he's playing, in hopes of people consider him 'one of them', nobody will ask him uncomfortable questions like where he gets his money and from whom, or what he's really working for (himself, sure), but also his masters. He's owned.
A good example of what I mean!
Yeah. Not surprising the Guy Who Didn't Even Begin To Understand Superman doesn't listen to the lyrics. It's like What's-His-Face (there have been several of them), putting on "Born in the USA" misunderstanding that the Boss was CRITIQUING America, not lauding it.
One of the fascinating things about the Romney campaign (and I'd argue Jeb Bush's, but I had no connections there) is that it was one of the last truly strong gasps of the neoliberals fully bought into the rules-based order, both internationally and in terms of its domestic implications.
Makes you wonder about Disneyland - something similar, mayhap?
I always get a laugh seeing this photo of Peter Thiel because it’s a crypto conference in April 2022. He said crypto was replacing fiat currency. He was then in the process of selling $1.8 billion of crypto before the crash of late 2022. We only learned about the timing of his sales much later.

I dunno, Lance. I think he's just getting paid to parrot the reich-wing lines for extra bucks. What's hypocrisy, when you're getting paid? (The Republican Party Credo...)
Disabled people: RFK Jr. is a dangerous eugenicist who wants people to die. Nondisabled people: DP: Here are examples of his eugenicist policy. NP:... DP: He actually wrote all this out in a book years ago. NP: Hey why can't I get a Covid shot??
Bill Kristol can burn. His PNAC led to a lot of deaths. I don't care if he's a Never-Trumper now.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
How can you tell if someone is secretly simping for the right? It's easy - they won't call the party by its proper name. They ALWAYS use the Rush Limbaugh-spread insult, with the last syllable sounding like 'rat'.
I wonder when the Great Dying commences (like Grimes apparently said she was looking forward to - don't ask, look it up...) if people will bring this back to Murkowski?
She's already sold out everybody else, her 'concerns' are a little late
Oooh! Oooh! How many of the non-trans ones were cis white males, usually with right-wing ideology?
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.
I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
I sure hope he republishes STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST with his new name, or even better, returns to doing it! I love that comic.
He was mostly run by his age-old ideology and the consultant class that makes money off the party leadership these days...
The presidential candidate who runs on the slogan "THERE WILL BE TRIALS!" has my vote.
Same here
the thing that worries me is that basically all routes out of this mess involve some significant segment of our sclerotic, insane elite admitting, even obliquely via the sheepishly belated passage of necessary reforms, that they were catastrophically wrong in a way that cost everyone
they removed it? why didn't they burn it
Be sure to watch the original, as well, from 1967! It's a hoot, too.
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote: "I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Your doomerism is what I was responding to. You have no information, and seem more interested in spreading despair or just settling for people that are too interested by half in throwing others under the bus for their own benefit (both Newsom and Buttigeig have a record of this). Not interested.
Okay, Doomer. I'm never going to be mindless with my vote. I'll vote for somebody who isn't willing to throw humans under the bus for their own political gain. GN is the past, just because he can get one thing right doesn't mean he's a candidate worth voting for.
I want it to go farther..I want the shame associated with everyone complicit to be so intense their grandkids and great grandkids want to change their name. Lincoln warned this would happen & they murdered him 4 days later. We were too nice when the confederacy lost. It can’t happen again.

Both of them DO NOT in any way represent the Democratic base as it now stands. They're just well-paid shills for a status quo that is both gone AND was always unfair and unduly affected/influenced/run by foreign money.
Sen. Chuck Schumer & Rep. Hakeem Jeffries are overwhelmed and impotent. McConnell did more as minority leader than Schumer would ever do. Democrats inspired by Newsom, Pritzker look to states, not Congress www.yahoo.com/news/article...
I wrote about how Hurricane Katrina helped spur pretty remarkable improvements in hurricane forecasts since 20 years ago and how current and planned budget cuts by the Trump administration to research could set us back.
Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!
We spend so much time talking about the harms of systemic racism and I think sometimes we don’t allow ourselves to take a moment to say, actually it’s personally, emotionally hurtful
Finally got around to watching NOSFERATU and thought it was fantastic but tragically I waited too long and spent most of it coming up with different bits to do at Bex in Orlok voice My favorite was us speculating on him using the kids like puppets and me singing an Orlok cover of Rainbow Connection
Another Peter Thiel acolyte. I sense chess pieces being placed before a move to do something utterly undemocratic and likely dystopian.

This shit isn't getting any better. Abolish "A.i." from your lives and institutions, friends. It's garbage pushed by billionaire sociopaths and it breaks brains.
My grandfather also wants to pass along the message that RFK Jr. is destroying one of the prime achievements of American medicine. This is something he knows well, given the decades of his life he dedicated to medicine, to the scientific pursuits, and to helping research new treatments for diseases.
Top Biden officials have begun rewriting their ironclad support of Israel throughout the end of Biden’s term, now claiming to oppose Israel’s starvation policy in Gaza as it’s officially tipped into famine — a famine that they fully laid the groundwork for over the first 16 months of the genocide.
This is disgusting.
You know that the Seasteading / Freedom Cities stuff is Peter Thiel, right? Thiel founded the Seasteading Institute when O'Neill was still semi-respectable and working for HHS under George W Bush. He pivoted to Thiel the same year (2008), another origin story for you.. 1/
