Jan 6 must be fully & conclusively adjudicated in a court of law if this country is to ever move forward. They can't just wish it away unless we let them.

Meanwhile, in Brazil: #Brazil is now also angry at the U.S. Allegedly, the plane transporting migrants to Brazil had a broken air conditioner causing people to faint from heat exhaustion, they were refused water, and they were chained hands and feet, among other things via AFP #RESIST

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

"Deserve" is an unfillable cup, because it doesn't fix the problem. You will never hurt someone so much that it will heal you. The right wing is going to keep doing unimaginable damage.

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

“Will pay any amount.” Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

This letter in the New Statesman a couple of years ago seems even truer now.

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

the worst thing is even the consultation puts the burden on creators, because all the questions are like 'given generative AI is obviously BRILLIANT and anyone who wouldn't want to let LLMs eat their copyrighted material HATES THEIR COUNTRY, do you think what we're suggesting is good?'

No thanks, YouTube.

We are not seeing "class consciousness" from everyone who understands that it's dangerous to have necessary healthcare get denied. The overlap between people cheering for Luigi and people who voted for Trump is really significant. A deer is scared of a wolf but it doesn't understand ecology

Nothing to see here, folks. No special favors to anyone we know.

this is an active volcano erupting into space on jupiter’s moon io. HOW CRAZY IS IT THAT WE CAN SEE THAT?

A lot of what some might call “handouts” is actually just effective resource management. When vaccines and preventative medicines are covered, for example, hospitals end up under far less strain. It’s a good system for everyone except people who might want to profit from the worst outcomes.

Everyone excited for the Revolution keep forgetting Trump is going to be in charge of the police and military in less than a month. People preaching that the culture war is a distraction from class war want to ignore that right wingers don't understand the difference

Every time I make a post like this, I should include a link to my CV at the bottom so people know that I'm aware of extremely basic movie facts.

THREAD: Since a lot of folks are noting that they found Mangione a lot faster than they found the J6 pipe bomber, I thought I'd remind everyone about a few crucial tidbits about the pipe bomber investigation. 1/

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

Charges have just been announced in the 2014 Mount Polley Mine tailing ponds breach -- five million cubic metres of wastewater was released into local environments, making the Quesnel and Cariboo rivers unusable. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #bcpoli

I actually didn’t know this. Or maybe knew it about each of them but didn’t put it together about all of them. I mean. Goddamn.

I’d like to report a murder.

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs? Just thought you might want to know.

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

A doctor’s letter to United Healthcare for denying nausea meds for a child on chemo

Quite right. It’s not a he-gseth / she-gseth situation.

The meme I didn't know I needed

The first known use of singular “they” is so old that not only does it pre-date singular “you,” it wasn’t even spelled with a “th” When William and the Werewolf, in 1375 CE, used singular “they,” it was spelled with a Thorn

Dictionaries, at least good modern ones, are descriptive and merely show words that are being used in the language. Words get in a dictionary by being used by people. New words getting added is not a sign that the language is falling apart. Dictionaries are not arbiters of language

Completely serious paleoartistical hypothesis about Majungasaurus

Elon Musk is dumping hazardous wastewaster into Austin's sewer system without consequences

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

The House Ethics Committee has voted not to release the Matt Gaetz report containing credible allegations of sexual misconduct including rape of a minor and sex trafficking. 5 Republicans and 5 Democrats each voted, and the parties deadlocked. Guess which side voted to cover up the crimes?

Looks like David the Good hasn't joined us yet. Oh well. Here's a good article from on Smilax him anyway. I am currently trying to salvage a clipping of female smilax that my friend harvested for me out in the wilds. thesurvivalgardener.com/growing-smil...
