Brutal

WHITE PEOPLE: Wow, there's nonwhites out there? We'd better go to where they live and make them put up with us {500 years pass} WHITE PEOPLE: I really wish these nonwhites would stop coming to where I live and making me put up with them

Universal healthcare should be a basic human right Affordable housing should be a basic human right Clean air and water should be a basic human right Access to healthy food should be a basic human right No one should be forced to live in legislated poverty when we could easily provide for all

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

in hindsight we probably should have seen this was a trap, but everything was so new and we were still just kids

I don't believe it, we're actually violating the THIRD Amendment too.

WTAFWTAFWTAFWTAFWTAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not “accused,” Sneako is a vector for Holocaust denial and antisemitic rhetoric, in addition to being violent misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia. The only reason I don’t say he believes those things is because he appears to have the intellect of a rotting tomato.

Absolutely incredible that we are still getting mainstream denunciations of "trans activists" when the far-right fringe has far more odious views and sits much closer to power.

I dunno…I don’t think the FDA would talk like this I dunno guys…this might just be a guy

SCOOP: The "Appeal To Heaven" flag, a popular symbol for Christian nationalists that was waved by January 6 rioters, was raised over the Small Business Administration headquarters last week.

Perfect encapsulation of the Democratic Party

I gently disagree with that post going around about how learning requires you to feel stupid and embarrassed, and that’s a sign it’s working. I suspect I agree with the point but not the perspective. Learning is exhilarating. Wanting more of a sign that it’s working to me. It’s energizing.

does it ever disturb anyone how willing our governments are to drop bombs and murder indiscriminately

This is one of those places where it really is just pure money in politics.

This is an absolutely disgraceful act of corruption by both major parties. It will lead to an incredibly foreseeable set of disasters: best case, unlimited corruption and scamming, worst case a global financial crisis and inevitable federal bailout. Horrifying that 18 Democrats voted for it.

along with the indignities suffered by this woman in injury and death, now her family is probably in around a million $ in debt. shithole country.

Welp

we are about to enter the golden age of scams, people are going to lose millions

I try to live my life in such a way that a ton of people won't be cheering when I have an allergic reaction at lunch.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

Today I saw an ad on the PATH train that quoted a positive review from “ChatGPT, OpenAI”

Not so long ago these guys were cheering ranchers who wanted to shoot feds in the face for grazing rights but now it’s “of course the feds should have total anonymity to do whatever” Oooooooooookay

Searle's Chinese Room has been around for ~50 yrs, this should be obvious 🙃 (maybe another mark in favor of Integrated Information Theory too?) Ultimately, I'm skeptical sentience is possible without paraconsistent logic.

Kathy fuckin Hochul talking like this they are going to drag Dem politicians kicking and screaming into actual resistance out of self-preservation if nothing else

Yes! It's partly "credit people for their work" but also about creating a chain of facts and sources. Don't make people reverse-engineer fonts so they can figure out when and where the article you're screenshotting came from.

The idea that Democrats should concede on trans rights is the belief that truth is mutable and politicians should act as if reality is whatever is most politically expedient, which for the record is how Republicans act

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

One of the agents who arrested Brad Lander for asking to see a judicial warrant. ICE was involved, but who’s this ninja? An agent of Trump’s secret police. Fascism is an aesthetic. This black-masked man is a statement of intention & belief; the intention is sadism; the belief is in power.

comparing the public response to HB1 in 2016 to literally any trans news rn makes me dissociate lmao like holy fuck dude. there were corporate boycotts over a bathroom bill.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

This is absolutely how the Constitution is supposed to work. Terrifyingly, it is not how the United States has operated in practice for a very, very long time.

it’s so funny that rightwingers do this “take care of yourself today ❤️” type shit about starting new foreign wars

People who don’t like AI aren’t in denial about how useful it is. People who like AI are in denial about how useful it is

“It should be illegal for you to be mean to me and legal for me to kill you” is basically the Republican platform.

anyone who's gonna go "it sucks but you gotta win over people first, slowly build the case for rights" for trans people should tell me, without looking it up, when they think interracial marriage reached majority approval in america

I'm contemplating this sequence of headlines.

No plan should ever rely on fascists' capacity for shame but every time you successfully shame them is still a victory

As time goes past, it becomes more evident that it was Timothy McVeigh's bombing in Oklahoma City on in April 1995, and not 9/11 in 2001, which was the true start of the American 21st Century.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis
