i have said this before but this is why it was and is important not to ignore the “NPC” language. these people really believe that other human beings are not real, with all the consequences that flow from this

its genuinely insane to see the press on a "democrats must self flagellate over biden being old" when this shit is happening

i want someone to calculate how much these collective decisions cost, that it may radicalize us all, ferally

"Centrists" are just ashamed conservatives. There is no "center" because they never break away from conservative politics. Every breath you hear spoken about appealing to "centrists" is just appealing to conservatives who don't wear their red ballcaps. That's all it's ever been. It's why we're here.

My niece's university had an AI voice announce the graduates. They provided their names spelled phonetically beforehand, then at the graduation scanned a QR code before walking, which provided this spelling for the AI to "read." Even though she had provided "ee-vah," the AI said "eh-vah." WTF.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

Imagine being lectured by RFK Jr about how to be healthy and then having Mark Zuckerberg tell you how many friends normal people should have

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

oh my god

People are very eager to let Whitmer off the hook for getting caught in an Oval Office photo op, so let’s take a quick look at the reason she was there

Cognitive dissonance is the humanities being at the same time both a useless waste of time and an imminent threat to the government.

So you're telling me that asserting your rights, rather than saying, "thank you sir, may I have another" may actually be an effective tactic against clear assaults on academic freedom?

The ideas around “neutrality” and “bias” have done so much damage in the mainstream media. These ideas only work in one direction—against the left—and result in people in the industry who personally identify as left-leaning overcompensating and doing the right’s work for them

...and no one will want to read them.

Yay?

they really need to invent a second type of money these guys can play around with separate from the money I need to buy food. Business Money. Money 2

MA residents, please join me in calling Governor Healey's office to demand action and a response to these brazen kidnappings carried out by ICE on the streets of our cities. If you'd like a script, we've provided one - full copy in the alt text. Her office's number is 617 725 4005. Flood it!

Jesus this is a kidnapping video of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk being detained by plain clothes immigration forces. Remember that Columbia agreed to a "no masks" policy for its fucking students while these thugs keep their faces covered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuFI...

This is very sad.💔 A LEGAL RESIDENT in rural Maine was kidnapped by ICE. This is his neighbour talking about it. They live in a community of 1200 people, & his wife is beside herself, terrified to talk about it publicly, or to go outside. She’s not been separated from her husband in 20 years.😭💔 1/2

"A tantalizing and/or fulfilling social and sex life is still available to you. But you make it much, much harder for yourself by idolizing fanatics and criminals who view sex as a commodity that you must buy or steal." www.offmessage.net/p/horny-youn...

What should confound them is that it's EVIL! Annexing Canada is EVIL! Introducing this completely foreign idea from within his degenerate brain is EVIL! Humoring it is EVIL! Weighing its pros and cons is EVIL! Weighing its fucking electoral impact is EVIL! THREATENING OTHER COUNTRIES IS EVIL! God!

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

So it’s over then, works for me

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

“Officials liked what the man in the van set out to do - give all the children delicious candy - but have been frustrated by his reckless abduction approach”

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

A pithier name for the second world described here is "reality."

You could not have written any of this in a novel or a tv show unless the genre was “bizarre dystopian parody” - and even then the reviews would have likely pointed out that it was all a bit much. It would all be immensely funny if it wasn’t so dangerous.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

It’s government by meme. In this case the meme is “We hate Canada because it won’t agree to be annexed, even though no one even dreamed of such a deranged thing until Trump started randomly spouting it months after the election.”

it’s not that this US administration has a different, competing version of what it means to do good. They know and even share our conception of good, and oppose it on purpose to make their enemies mad. Consciously, purposefully, gleefully evil.

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

Just delusional.

Apropos of nothing: I’m genuinely not surprised at all that so many evil people turn out to be actually fucking stupid, because being evil has always been the easier option.

"We save taxpayers billions!" : "I saved the household thousands by not paying the mortgage!" :: "Trump will end the war in Ukraine" : "I ended the mugging by handing over my wallet."

Time to evict AirBnB from your life, if you have't already.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

This is nuts lol

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

Hunter Biden’s drug use was a daily story. But apparently it would be rude to ask about the ketamine habits of the freak taking a hammer to our government.

USAID was investigating Starlink CFPB was the agency preventing dodgy financial maneuvers like X becoming a bank Musk is systematically (and illegally) going after the agencies that constraint his business interests

ok can we all just admit AI was a mistake

please stop telling people that x, y, or z "is a distraction." we've been doing this for nearly a decade now. all the things are the things. theyre all the fights. its like arguing that japan attacking in the pacific was a distraction from hitler attacking in europe. its all the war.

Tell me more about Republicans' respect for the military. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
