Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

I wonder if the Supreme Court is thinking at all about the fact that they are building a population that fundamentally does not believe in law or the judiciary

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

people are asking

ICE just murdered a Canadian.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

How is this photo real

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

the last time I’ve seen bluesky this unanimously positive the bullet only missed by an inch

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

cringe is dead, GENUINE EMOTION RULES THE NIGHT

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but... the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

This is the use of the military for domestic law enforcement; I don’t see any other way to describe it.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

sorry I can't get over how cynical this is. dude *just* voted for a bill that was pushed by the crypto lobby and left out any protections against Trump's corruption. *now* he's claiming to address the issue with a bill that will never pass? this is galling even by modern Dem standards

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Oligarchy, baby.

The major international lesson of the 21st century is that the only way to assure a nation's security is to build nukes. Iraq was invaded; North Korea wasn't. Ukraine gave up their nukes; Russia invaded and security guarantees were ignored. Nonproliferation is dead, dead, dead.

It's becoming clearer every day that Republicans are now comfortable hunting and killing their neighbors.

Think about what it says to talk about a 67 year old, even leaving aside how awful he is, as “the future” of anything. Solipsistic octogenarian cowards anointing a Medicare-eligible ex-governor who resigned in disgrace the future captain of the sinking ship. What a party.

Honestly, as much grief as we give the Dems, they’re doing pretty remarkably when you consider that: 1.) the party now consists of literally everyone in America who had a coherent thought in their lives, which is quite the spectrum 2.) this is not enough to score a plurality of votes in the USA

*flips chair around* You know who else was 33 and got excoriated by the papers of record in his day for trying to provide people with their basic human needs?

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

it is, again, intensely funny that the entire country threw a massive "fuck that guy's birthday party" party in response to trump's birthday party

6yo: do we vote for who's the king Mom: no, baby. That's the problem with monarchy. kings are king because of who their parents are. If you have a good king then that's fine but if you have a bad king, there's nothing you can do about it. 4year old: UNLESS YOU KILL THE BAD KING

When I saw this film as a kid, I had to lie down for a while thinking about how good this line was. Anyway... Speak treason. Fluently.

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks
