I'm don't think the data supports that the global far-right is radicalizing "almost exclusively young men". The global far right is recruiting large numbers of men and women in the 30-65 age bracket. The reason young men stand out in analysis is because young women are the ONLY group moving left.

Commercials for meds are always like "Ask your doctor about trying Our Medication 🌞" Like woah woah, slow down there, bucko- have YOU ever asked a doctor for a specific med? That's how you get labeled drug seeking. Doctors figure out which meds to give you via telepathy & ancient forest magics ONLY.

Our new investigation in @wired.com shows the danger of Google's huge RTB security problem We easily obtained Google RTB segment data about US national security personnel from a databroker -- despite posing as a foreign company that fetes Russian troops our fake website www.wired.com/story/google...

“Fraudsters complain the loudest”, says Elon

When in doubt, tear it all down, see what breaks, assume you can repair it—maybe with AI? It’s the federal government; how hard can it be? This is incompetence born of self-confidence. It’s the certainty that if you’re smart at one thing you must be smart at all of the things.

Jack is a Nazi and a stochastic terrorist who literally wrote a book published last year called unhumans laying out a plan and call to exterminate anyone left of Hitler because they are not humans. NPR stop doing Nazi revisionism challenge failed yet again.

Somehow the reasons for fetterman’s staff all quitting are infinitely worse than what I imagined. Incredible.

If workers are not creating surplus-value that can be converted into profits they are a cost on capitalist production-for-profit and it is "better" for profits they die younger. The class-based life expectancy gap in the US has widened to more than 8 years 22 Oct 2023 www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

is this anything

Elon’s money is all in Over-valued, over-leveraged stock in a declining car company. All his liquid wealth and personal property is bought with bank loans collateralized with that stock. Make the brand toxic and Elon will crumble. #TeslaTakedown

GIRL(26): What is your stance on Crystals ME (94): I have never devolpeed a stance on Crystals. I am more interested in food & entertainment

It is so *weird* living in a new reality that most people can't even see. Million of people think they're still living in a world that no longer exists. Wildly disconcerting times.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

Incredible. Rail fans at LA Union Station heckle and boo Duffy’s remarks at the press conference where he has announced an FRA investigation into CA High Speed Rail. They yell “Cowards!” “Build the Rail!” and “We Pay Taxes, We Want the Train!” #IWillRide

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

I interviewed Julia Black about the rise of pronatalism in Silicon Valley, plus a new "boring reality" AI, Boomer panic, doom spending, war robot turned DJ, and why there’s no “alt-left pipeline" -- all in today's newsletter!!

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

🧵 As always centrists are trying construct a narrative to blame the left for the predictable outcomes of their own policy. They are arguing that the left is to blame for the rise of the far right. The argument goes that because the left oppose bigotry that bigotry is on the rise.

Only cowards do this.

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Musk has globally shadowbanned Grimes’ replies on X for the crime of informing him about their child’s medical emergency

Paid a mime fifty bucks to follow me around all day and make the jerkoff motion every time I talk.

I don't think any of us can judge the people who clap when the plane lands now.

Mitch is one of the singular villains of American history, personally responsible for the destruction of our democracy and our government at a level above anyone save Trump himself he is a vile man on the level of John Calhoun and should be remembered as such

NO KINGS, ONLY TRAINS is a pretty great 2028 slogan for anyone who wants it

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

The Execution of the Doge, by Delacroix, 1825. He was beheaded for attempting a coup d'etat. Apropos of, you know, absolutely nothing at all.

Also, I do not want “freedom for all” I want capitalists / the bourgeoisie as a class to be suppressed. I want the working class to suppress them by seizing power.

‘Free Luigi’ billboard has gone up in lower Manhattan the evening before his next court appearance. Sent in anon.

Most people don't know this but Ancient Rome was fully remote until Julius Caesar implemented a return to office program and well you know what happened next

So I want to again remind everyone that there's a lot going on for sure, but yeah we are shipping people to concentration camps. That is happening right now. That moment has unquestionably and irrefutably arrived, and if you don't think it has, you are in denial.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

So far, every time Elon Musk has announced he has found widespread fraud, he has been swiftly proven wrong.

My illegal Pinkerton is driving me to my illegal hotel while the hallucination machine in my phone summarizes the emails my coworkers wrote using their hallucination machines. My burrito travels separately in its own limo. This is innovation and normal.

The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

"-2..." UI like this makes me certain that no one on the iOS development team has ever lived through a real winter. ❄️

Exactly, what's always bugged me about this discourse is that if you compare the Most Online fringes of the left and the right, the right is far worse! Democrats are adding letters to "LGBT" while Republicans are planning a coup.

Wrote about the morally vacuous, strategically unsound (and also wrong!) anti-“woke”diagnosis everyone’s still sticking with, even in the midst of civil rights apocalypse.

what makes this even cooler is that Meta will let ads through for effectively anything

This also describes libraries, except they don’t run on plagiarism and potable water

I would rather give my social security number to an online scammer claiming to be a Nigerian prince than to Elon Musk
