Setting America on fire and robbing us while it burns. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Made this because this really speaks to me about what's going on

the word for this is not "some form of email changes"

New: A federal judge criticized the Justice Department for "worrisome" and "embarrassing" blunders in the arrest of a New Jersey mayor at an ICE facility.

The Missouri GOP is forcing a statewide vote to ban abortion—without telling voters it's a ban. Voters passed a pro-choice amendment in the fall, so this is essentially an abortion coup. Me in @democracydocket.com: www.democracydocket.com/opinion/to-i...

UPDATE: UnitedHealth deliberately changed patients to "do not resuscitate' so that they would be left to die in any medical emergency as they considered especially critically ill patients to be 'a waste of money' regardless of patient's desire to live.

this entire story is so horrifying and nightmarish I can't think about it for long without wanting to go insane I've never wished death on anyone in a positive way before. I hope she can pass on as soon as possible and their efforts fail

Baldwin to RFK Jr: "Is funding for Alzheimer's research centers DEI? Because you're holding up $65m for 14 of those centers in 9 states, including UW Madison. Is funding for cancer centers DEI? Because you're holding up $47m in cancer center support grants at 9 cancer centers in 8 states."

LISTEN as GOP Sen. Johnson admits the GOP tax scam will increase the deficit by $4 trillion with the Big Beautiful Bill, and that Medicaid will be cut: "Now what are you going to cut? Medicaid, absolutely" #StopTheBillionaireBailout

cancel your adobe shit if you haven't already, if there's a feature in photoshop that you absolutely need, ask folks for what a good replacement is

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

Dear America, Have you had enough yet? I have.

GALLEGO: You requested $50m for a Gulfstream jet. Meanwhile, Rs are about to kick 13m off Medicaid. How can you justify that? NOEM: It's to replace a jet that's over 20 years old G: Would you be using it for travel? N: No idea G: We've seen the Instagram photos. Some really bad weapons handling.

I love Pedro. Period.

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

#AOC for the working class

It literally only took 5-6 minutes with 5call. I hate phone calls and was surprised how frictionless it was. Seriously yall, call your reps.

Made a version of this meme I wanted to see.

absurd. offensive. expected.

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Hey, remember when we as a society rejected 3D TVs? Google Stadia? NFTs? And the corporations got the hint and stopped trying to sell them to us? Can we do the same with ChatGPT and Midjourney and all this other genAI shit?

it'd only take a few people to do it.

huh, just like the men who created them

I went into my library's database of Chicago area newspapers to confirm this isn't fake, and it's not. @chicago.suntimes.com Why the hell are you using ChatGPT to make up book titles? You used to have a books staff. Absolutely no fact checking?

we used to be a country. a proper country.

People who are still shouting that Israel is not committing genocide must be clapping their hands over their ears every time an Israeli minister steps onto a podium because

And we're LIVE...err...dead! KILLED TO DEATH BY PIRACY, the latest music video I had the pleasure of animating and directing for Alestorm is now up and available for viewing: youtu.be/VzFaEuA9FVI?...

I know, probably couldn't hurt an evil tech giant like this, but also couldn't hurt to share this again anyhow.

Not Anime Expo using ai to promote their workshop…

#PopeLeo snubbed #JD Vance today. substack.com/@thegodpod Instead of granting the #Trump regime’s right-hand man a private audience, the new Pope gave him a chilly 17-second handshake and moved on to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other (actual) world leaders instead

No. No more hand holding. No excuses. Zero tolerance. If I see this being played? It’s going to be an instant block and end of whatever relationship we had. I am too old and too tired for this shit yet again.

I'll bang this drum til I die.
