oh fuck this shit so hard

it is hard to convey in words how bad the bloodbath has been for professionals working in the "not evil" sectors

pretty much everyone views FedSoc clerkships as the most pejorative version possible of DEI-for-conservatives

some interesting stealth editing going on here by the NYT - they've already taken 'existing' out, for instance

Am I missing something? This isn't how laws work.

Darnella Frazier was 17 when she had the presence of mind to document what was happening to George Floyd. These ICE abduction videos differ but also convey an out-of-control state abusing its power. Sometimes bearing witness is among the most important forms of civil resistance.

Your vote against fascism had to be earned? Your vote to protect marginalized people had to be earned? How fortunate for you, to be able to just sit this one out and let the impure people try to stave off authoritarianism on their own. You are useless as a political ally if you refuse to help.

This is the smartest damn thing I’ve heard all year. If nothing else, it might serve to erode employers‘ trust in ChatGPT.

This is a jaw-dropping lie. Check my feed for videos of ICE at Dodger Stadium trying to get into the parking lot and being blocked by the LAPD.

Counterpoint: killing Rebs was good and Sherman should have burned more stuff.

Zohrön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

fuck that's a story seed

"Magical realism" is a foreign-sounding thing, that's the main point.

regardless of my opinion of any of these policies it’s absolute bullshit the media never ever brings out the “but how will you PAY for it” green eyeshades for anything any republican proposes ever

The destruction of chattel slavery and the end of Jim Crow are the closest we've come to living the ideals that the founders claimed to believe. They are the points at which our nation was at its very best.

Insurance reform is effectively impossible in places like Florida. The odds of homes being destroyed is so high that you simply can't spread risk enough to make it affordable unless you rope in the rest of the country, and good luck with that.

I'm guessing they didn't care until it became news, but now that it is, the Dodgers have decided that angering 80% of their fanbase is a bad idea.

Oh Miller is going to be so fucking mad.

This is part of a thread on trans rights, & of course he is correct, as can be seen by all those Dem-controlled states banning gender-affirming care. Oh, wait…

It’s instructive about where we’re at that the right likes to accuse people of virtue signaling, where people talk about seemingly positive or noble personal virtues, while this guy sends out a tweet saying “no one asked but I feel the need to tell you all that I don’t care about emancipation”

this is explicitly not what the law says

The simple fact is that systems are made up of humans, and as long as systems are made up of humans they are unreliable.

It really is amazing how many people took the "AI is evil because it doesn't have a soul" 'critique' seriously- including many people who believe themselves to be secular.

Gosh golly, should I go back to the Nazi bar with a rampant pedophilia problem, or stay on BlueSky? Decisions, decisions....

Glad to see that Hegseth has finally fulfilled his ambition to become Imperial German Minister of War

Incredible slip

Lander is the guy who gives the whole thing away: he's extremely experienced, he's successfully promoted development and housing expansion—and yet the people who say those are what matters are throwing their money and grievance behind a washed-up ghoul they trucked in from Westchester

What drives me insane is that these are the exact same tactics used against abortion providers and activists, mostly coming from the same people, but because we’ve flipped the word from “abortion” to “trans” suddenly the elite pseudoliberals just want to write about how it’s understandable backlash

Let's be frank: the same way that it is embarrassing that Western countries refuse to commit to arresting Netanyahu if he arrives on their soil despite doing that for Putin, it is also very embarrassing and deeply distressing that South Africa has done this.
