(as a large healthbar appears)

Marya Junková from Cloudward, Ho! on @dimension20.bsky.social ✨ the scene from episode 2 when she single-handedly destroyed a whole ship in one turn made me feel things

love how the centrist political class believes they have ownership over what is “realistic” and possible and what is not. it’s like religious fanaticism for norms and incremental (aka nonexistent) change

one of the only "Gen X was like THIS" posts I'll ever do, but my elderly status allows me to say that Gulf War I in 1990-1991 was also infinitely stupid but (1) didn't last long; and (2) no social media. But it was the advent of CNN treating war like a video game, hooray.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

right-wingers will often say that America deserves credit for ending slavery rather than blame for having slavery. but then we made a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery and they still got mad, which should tell you what their real objection is.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

the economy, foreign policy, immigration…republicans lead polling on these issues bc the press hides their history and truth about their plans and democrats refuse to fight them on any of it

chuck schumers grotesque reaction about attacks on the rights of trans people are a “distraction” from attacks on the rights of real people (or something) is one of the most callous, heartless statements ive seen from dem leadership

The Betrayal.

power suit

Reminder that I (briefly) addressed @briamgilbert.bsky.social about the Donkey Kong Timeline on @insertcredit.com Maybe we'll get him back to talk about how Bananza works, and his stance on Frank's Diddy Kongspiracy insertcredit.com/show/387/

Really enjoying this series of @dimension20.bsky.social … “Cloudward, Ho!” is just super fun and I find myself watching with a constant smile on my face 🤗💜

The FOX war machine is back. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There's nothing that Congress loves more than forfeiting its warmaking powers to the president. Doing so has been a longstanding bipartisan project, and the country deserves a better opposition party than one ready to go along with an Iraq War redux. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

We cannot accept this war

Shout out to @kelmcdonald.bsky.social for letting me go crazy mode on this book

Are you kidding me? Simply adore this collection of cuties who you can see now on the latest @umactually.bsky.social

NAACP sent notice to Elon Musk's xAI, signaling intent to sue over air pollution from AI startup's data center. It alleges xAI violated federal law by using methane gas turbines at its South Memphis data center without acquiring permits or pollution controls: $TSLAQ Ht @mikescarcella.bsky.social

Notice that after the targeted killings of Democratic lawmakers over the weekend, the administration has continued its criminalization of Dem politicians, following the classic model pairing vigilante & state violence pioneered by the Klan.

The terrorists are in charge.

"AI" is the tool of fascists leading to a world devoid of meaning or art.

when will someone lift me in the air and announce "best cat"

New from 404 Media: cops in California investigated what they called an "immigration protest" with AI-powered cameras, according to new data we obtained. Data also shows local cops around the country tapping into California cameras on behalf of ICE. This is illegal www.404media.co/california-c...

Awful. But there's no bipartisan-savvy, cautiously centrist way out of this. The Republicans are unleashing full police state fascism, throwing the Constitution in the trash and not pretending otherwise. Appeals to their good nature have been rejected for YEARS. What now, Democrats?

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

I catch myself sometimes frustrated with how floaty and jumpy my mind is while I’m drawing and I have to carefully, gently remind myself that the world is on fire and it’s understandable that the inside of my head feels like a wasp’s nest

The US has been a co-belligerent in Israel's attacks on Iran - diplo cover, weapons supplies, some degree of intel sharing - and any semblance of plausible deniability is quickly falling away. The US-Israel axis is waging a war of aggression that will result in mass death & must be opposed

Megas XLR deserved better

I like history but this is ridiculous

Just found out that the great Andy Bey died, one of the greatest jazz vocalists in history I’ll play this tune on my show on Thurs youtu.be/yIWitaD8DSo?...

I'm sorry what? So in the remake, Ohana doesn't mean family, and someone gets left behind and forgotten. The end? Fucks sake. Also they added a health insurance plot point. Did an AI write this treatment.

“I have shot video all over the U.S., all over the UK, and in Japan. I’ve never seen anything that bad,” Wilson said. “The amount, the size of the plume…it’s really, just horrible.”

Meta's AI discover feed is (still!) leaking user conversations with its AI. With its scale/import in shaping people's perception of reality, it is hard to think of a worse actor in the AI space than Meta, or to imagine a more invasive, user-hostile product than this www.404media.co/meta-invents...
