Tesla fake robotaxi rollout going about as expected. Love that not only did it ignore the school bus lights and hit the “child,” it then took off in a hurry afterwards.

"The American regime today arrested a member of the legislative opposition, after declaring it would 'liberate' that senator's province from opposition control using the armed forces"

Batshit insane that Twitter accepts ads like this.

These guys geared up like this to round up employees of a taco stand, no joke. It’s pure evil but it’s also highly effective theater for scared dipshits huddled in front of Fox News.

The party of family values sure loves destroying families. Are we safer now? Republicans are a fucking disease.

Agree. We’re in a dystopian golden age of dilettantism.

My grand unifying theory of American decline is that elite impunity is the headwater from which every other bad thing flows, and it accelerated dramatically after nobody was held accountable for the 2008 financial collapse. Yet another example here.

In case you're wondering what *actual* academic indoctrination looks like (instead of the completely made up "anti-woke" crusade currently mobilizing the extremist right).

Good anthology of 20 years of outrageous lying that, for some reason, has never caught up with him.

the Republican tax bill is so bad that it’s literally destroying investor confidence in the country

Democrats in 2024: Trump will push 10s of millions off of Medicaid if he wins Corporate Media: Democrats are liars, Trump promises not to cut anyone from Medicaid if he wins <Trump wins and cuts 13.7 million off of Medicaid> Corporate Media: real barn burner last night in House, so much fun!

For all the talk about “hard truths” etc that propagate our discourse we really don’t discuss how coddling conspiracy theorists has made things worse for everyone.

Somebody asked Grok why it's bringing up "white genocide." Grok helpfully says it was told to do so and that "this instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers." x.com/i/grok?conve...

It’s actually hard to determine the worst Trump cabinet pick. Is it.. - HHS guy bringing back childhood diseases? - Transport guy crashing planes and breaking air travel? - Defense guy sharing classified war plans in public channels? - State guy for illegal deportations? - AG lady for… everything?

America in 2025, in a nutshell: Woman targets black child with racist rant, goes viral, claims victimhood, raises $250K. Our society consistently elevates the worst people alive.

I can’t stress this enough: Fuck this guy, and fuck the people who voted for him and inflicted this nightmare on the rest of us.
