no it’s actually because of the slavery

October 1989

rightwingers for the last few days have been saying “i didn’t vote for this” since trump announced handing off all data of all of us entire existence to palantir and it’s like sorry! you explicitely did vote for this! this was only going to happen if he won. don’t act concerned now

This man, who has human rights lawyer in his Twitter biog!, is hoping that Israel attacks the flotilla & hurts (kills?) my Zeteo colleague, & legendary activist, Greta Thunberg. To call this tweet disgusting & violent would be an understatement. But they keep telling on themselves:

ICE arrested a student on the way to volleyball practice in Milford, detained people waiting at an immigration court in Boston, smashed a car window of the wrong person in New Bedford, and the list goes on. Communities are right to speak out. This isn’t making us safer.

I think if we just started calling raw milk what it really is, poopy milk, people would maybe stop thinking it’s some sorta miracle elixir.

in fiction i will fully buy into the idea that a grey box robot that made a sad-sounding beep is alive and conscious. when the same is asked of me in reality i am revolted. i desire to kick the dancing boston dynamics robots apart

According to WAPO, there are currently ~23,000 US citizens in the IDF, part of a military whose two highest officials are under ICC indictment for war crimes and which the ICJ found was plausibly committing genocide. And yet I've never seen anyone talk about the legal issues *they* might face.

“This house is a mess. I have so much work to do,” said Toad. Frog looked through the window. “Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.” Toad pulled the covers over his head.

Public policy is meant to regulate the needs of the here and the now— not just the long run. But, for some in America, the infliction of pain is a public policy prescription itself and it is core to their political identity. The cruelty is an immediate payoff.

some people are asking what the better messaging would be, & it's calling the republicans weird perverts who want the government to go around inspecting people's genitals. walz was on to it before he got pulled backstage and told to knock it off

In order to follow through on their evil mass deportation schemes, they are reassigning people doing actual crime prevention.

When the top 1% owns more than the bottom 50% we have a problem.

it's pretty wild how throughout all of history nobody who has ever decided to argue that "actually a little bigotry is okay" ends up looking like one of the good guys and yet people are still lining up left and right for the opportunity to do so in the paper of record

lol fucking democrats in a nutshell right here

(conservative thinking about art) art would be better if artists were normal

“Winter is beautiful,” said Frog. “Come out and have fun.” “Blah,” said Toad. “I do not have any winter clothes.”

we can still save bluesky if we take pennsylvania

All my love to Dolores O'Riordan. You would have understood this weather.

I have a regular wife and then I have a slime wife. the slime wife lives in the dang sewer. the slime wife is wet, wet with slime. slime from the toilet, a toilet in time

i need $2 million so i can spend all my time making art and formulating Theories

Then Toad began to bang his head against the wall

Gianmarco… I love you

Obama in '08

A man has been arrested in San Diego for allegedly obstructing the detention of a a Guatemalan man who was attending his immigration court hearing.

I’m the guy who invents new bathroom faucet designs for every hotel. You might know me from Knob That Goes The Other Way and Joystick That’s Hard To Turn Off. Lately I’ve been lacking inspiration, even thinking about hanging it up. I’ve had a good run, but — wait, never mind: Ball You Turn Diagonal

getting pregnant tonight for attention

Shoutout to those of us just pushing on despite it all

despite everything, palestine will one day be free

If you want to describe this as being like the past, that's absolutely fine, but stop using Germany as the example. This is America. This is America is the Klan was winning elections at the federal level. This is the John W. Davis administration if he was less competent.

to the folks like peter baker, etc who parroted the idea that musk was stepping away from the WH: you fucking dumbasses

it’s hard to believe Elon Musk will become aloof to politics given how much risk he would be in from the criminal justice system under different politics.

the white nationalists in the white house are doing their best to convince the world the only racism is against white people and to call it a “white genocide” to muddy the water on what genocide is, and where it’s happening

the belief that it’s inevitable that as the youth gets older, the more left the country will swing needs to be thrown out. the kids will not “save us” if the kids aren’t welcome in the party that is supposedly on their side! the party needs to completely embrace the populist left

The big mistake was letting them get away with calling it artificial intelligence in the first place

why is everything becoming clippyfied. people hated clippy. but these tech companies keep forcing new clippy into everything

i was not familiar with your game ken jennings

Columbia University president Claire Shipman was booed by graduates at a graduation ceremony. This comes after the university complied with Donald Trump’s demands.

I'm sorry, I find it less than convincing that the wealthiest man in the world who has gone all-in on taking over the government after buying the presidency and creating the most disgusting radicalization machine imaginable is "walking away from politics."

Israel allowing “a few trucks of food to enter Gaza” isn’t a U-turn. It’s a tactic to get people to stop saying you’ve completely shut down aid from coming in. Aid groups have said Gaza needs at least 500 trucks a day.
