Wired is kicking fucking ass

nyt op-ed: we cannot normalize the left’s brazen attempt to win voters by talking to them

I'd be sad if the rumours were true, therefore they aren't. There you go. Simple. #FCBayern #Sydney

Mamdani winning is bad for Democrats because now Republicans might call them socialists, something that has never happened before.

“Riley Gaines weighs in on NYC mayoral primary” jesus christ lady you tied for fifth in one race shut the fuck up already

One of the great crimes is how YouTube has been turned into a pure outrage machine when it could have been the world's largest and most beautiful repository of people's old VHS or home video collections.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Um das klarzustellen: EINE EINZIGE Milliardärsfamilie verkackt es versehentlich (!), die Erbschaftssteuer zu dodgen und verursacht dadurch Steuereinnahmen, die die gescheiterte BUNDESWEITE Kindergrundsicherung zu 166% abgedeckt hätten. Imagine, man würde alle Superreichen konsequent fair besteuern.

Funny thing is, my extremely Republican county has free public transportation because a county commissioner did the math and realized making all the buses free, not just the tourist beach trolley, was in fact cost effective because free buses convinces more people not to drive.

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all. Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

I would let a medical intern do my heart surgery over a guy who has killed two of his last ten patients on the operating table and was recently fired from a neighboring hospital for sexually harassing nurses and female patients, yes.

This man is the lead of the next Marvel movie, appearing in the next Avengers flick, one of the leads of a major HBO series, and is The Mandalorian and when every Hollywood PR hack would go "HEY PEDRO BABY SHHH ABOUT THE TRANS STUFF" he won't shut up and I will love him for it forever

Kein Brennpunkt in der ARD, keine Krisensitzungen, keine Betroffenheit zeigenden oder gar härtere Gesetze fordernden Politiker*innen vor Ort: Das passiert immer dann, wenn Migrant*innen Opfer statt Täter mörderischer Verbrechen sind. Denn die “Migrationsdebatte” im Sinne der AfD muss weitergehen 😡🤮.

My partner and I keep seeing these emails from writing instructors selling workshops on "how to write your book ethically with AI". I think of writers talking about ethically writing with AI, and I remember that once upon a time, cigarette companies used doctors to say that smoking was good for you.

Bei einem Feuer in einem Mehrfamilienhaus in #Wilhelmshaven starb ein vierjähriges Schwarzes Kind. Die Familie hatte zuvor rassistische Anfeindungen erlebt. StA und POL ermitteln wegen #Brandstiftung. Eiken Bruhn für die @taz.de: taz.de/Feuer-in-Wil...

I am not exaggerating when I say the Supreme Court’s unsigned, unexplained order yesterday is the worst thing it has done since Trump returned to office. And not just on the merits—it’s also an unfathomably dangerous green light for Trump to flout lower court orders. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I can't imagine the mental gymnastics required to persuade yourself to vote against impeachment, *especially because* it's a symbolic vote! Forget removing a lawless president, you can't even bring yourself to formally rebuke him? Irredeemable

There's this really absurd thing in coverage of hate crimes where the moment you say the words "hate crime", the Free Speech Warrior shows up to scream about how it's NOT A CRIME TO DISAGREE WITH YOUR IDEOLOGY and it's like we're talking about someone attacking a person, dude.

what exactly do the Dems who voted to table here think they're accomplishing millions upon millions of people took to the street just a couple weeks ago to protest this man, he's extremely unpopular by every measure we have, and he's asserting dictatorial power on a daily basis what are you doing

I did a little math. That’s like >12,000 kitchen faucets fully open all at once, running for 2 years.

In Indiana: "To bury the fiber optic cables connecting the buildings and to install other underground infrastructure, Amazon had to pump water out of the wet ground. One permit application showed that the company requested permission to pump 2.2 million gallons an hour, for 730 days." [Gift]

"I cast an affirmative vote to prevent an impeachment inquiry into Donald J. Trump" is the kind of thing you really want to spend primary season explaining to enraged Democratic voters, in my opinion

128 Democrats vote against impeaching Trump.

That's why it's so pernicious to call genAI/LLMs as "accomodations" for disabled people. Because they're not. They're not built to ease the process of creation. They're built to replace it entirely. LLMs aren't meant to aid disabled creatives. LLMs are meant to erase them. 🧵

On the bright side, the next Democratic president can just disappear the six conservatives and get a whole new SCOTUS.

Am I the only one who reads this as "journalists are lying with the 1 in 3 stat" because it (maybe) includes people whe doesn't think should be included? She's angry at journalists for "inaccuracies" and "false information", not medical personnel. That's what that reads like to me?

I only said the car would be "self driving." You assumed that means it doesn't hit people. That's on you

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst & most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & then, well, 👇🤷‍♂️

I tweeted a funny newspaper headline about hand jobs that went viral and had about 300,000 likes.

"Groceries, they have a term 'grocery.' It's an old term ..."

It's been so weird to watch a president learn things in real time when fielding a question from the press. Then, whatever word or concept he learns, he uses in the next few social media posts. It's like when a 3rd grader learns a new fact about dinosaurs.

imagine a world where the national press gives these stories 1/10 the coverage they gave to right wingers getting booed on college campuses

This one was HUGE for dumb guys because they took the theological precept "you are allowed to lie about being Muslim to save your own life" and decided it meant "any Muslim who condemns terrorism is lying"

there's just so much that sucks about the current moment. including that the media universally accepts that the country is being governed in every aspect by one insane old man who issues royal proclamations from an obscure web forum he owns
