none of these articles claiming twitter > bluesky mention that twitter has ADVERTISING and bluesky does NOT which is obviously so much more important than anything else and i think it's because your average american is so accustomed to advertising they think it's naturally occurring like sand

It's always a good day to block Singal on social media.

I assume this is like the demand that Iraq give up its nonexistent WMDs

NEW: The child sex abuse material trade on X is spiraling out of control… and a key child safety partner just cut X off after they say to company stopped paying them www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

listening to the same assholes talking about iran and i'm reminded of "the best and the brightest" when everyone's talking blithely about invading cuba and then someone overlays a transparency of cuba on a US map and everyone freezes because it's the first time those idiots visualized how big it is

“‘I’m a member of the media, officer,’ Guevara tells a police officer right before he’s arrested. The video shows Guevara wearing a bright red shirt under a protective vest with ‘PRESS’ printed across his chest.” apnews.com/article/jour...

DEI became a way to say those marginalized groups, like Black people, don't exist if they're not given permission or allowed. So Juneteenth existing is DEI. But Juneteenth existed the whole time it was excluded from the mass American sphere & will keep existing.

I’m a broken record here, but 4 years of this is gonna badly damage the union. Blue states and cities pay taxes to the federal government - usually more so than red areas - but the administration denies us disaster relief and infrastructure spending.

Lying his ass off before he even gets out of the first sentence, it’s not a “fierce scientific debate” just bc one side is real loud

Skrmetti SCOTUS ruling claims that the Tennessee is not barring treatments based on sex, but that they are banning based on purpose plus age. But they are banning based on sex. Teenage cis boys can still get top surgery for gynecomastia but those assigned female are barred from accessing the same.

Just going to join the host of lawyers and academics who are screaming at the press that THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T GET TO DECLARE WAR ALL ON HIS OWN no matter how special a boy he thinks he is.

Pure evil.

How Elon Musk is managing Grok now. It is both ridiculous and worrying that AIs and social media platforms are being actively redesigned to parrot disinformation.

Fwiw I don't think his target audience is conservatives. It's people who read the New York Times.

terrible man with a face like a damp strawberry pancake makes himself useful for once

—NOW!

This reminds me of the day I learned that the reason it sometimes sounds like our neighbors' ducks are in our yard is that we have a squirrel in our yard who likes to cuss them out in their native language. Turns out squirrels can confound birders with their mimickry.

How in the world is it legal for federal agents to arrest citizens without ever identifying themselves and proving that they are federal agents?

Commissions for 🎶 SALE🎵, we have commissions for sale! Be your own Wickham! Cosplay Frederick Tilney with REAL munitions! Commissions for SALE! (you never want to be compared to Austen’s Royal Army.)

It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

like, the fact that there wasn't a shelter in place for the cities is pretty bad. I get why they didn't, but shutting down a nearby suburb and not the cities reachable by freeway from around there immediately? While conducting searches around his home in a majority Black neighborhood? Come on.

Let’s talk about Covid myths!! I’ll provide sources on these so you can look at the info yourself. First big myth: getting the initial vax series gave you permanent immunity! Nnoooooope! Six months out, the protection wanes to 20% jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Fairly sure, having read my WWii history, this is what a “resistance” is actually for?

Acosta: He can try to roll tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue and all of that—Hegseth can show up in a camouflage tie he got at the Gap—but at the end of the day, the real American strength, the real American might that was on display over the weekend, was in those No Kings protests across the country.

:(

Yes. We want stunts by political leaders! Stunts are good. Stunts drive attention!

Big Tech: we invented the torment nexus Glasses brands: for $54.95, you can slightly reduce the torment

it is the slavish sycophancy and utter debasement that is most striking and hopefully the real lasting legacy of every fuckin one of these shitty people

This is an extremely funny call for accountability for police violence from an organization who deputized poorly trained nobodies and encouraged them to use deadly force, and who won't admit it or take responsibility.

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.

Every single day living in America is a feeling of helpless psychic terror as we watch the fascism machine use all its money and power to suppress any hope we have of extricating ourselves from this nightmare.

Fascism is intentionally exhausting

Seriously. And especially egregious when you consider that schools are, by nature, massive points of spread for a pandemic. From kids to their parents back home to staff.

Watching Hangmen Also Die on The Criterion Channel and it’s a Shut The Fuck Up Friday case study. It is incredibly well done and so stressful to watch well-intentioned people run their mouths. Do not under any circumstances “helpfully” go to the Gestapo to “just to clear things up.”

hi, cis folks! the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people! if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was a thinly-veiled Russian asset, can you name one thing he’d be doing differently?

if you ask it for a thing that looks like an answer, it gives you a thing that looks like an answer if you ask it for a thing that looks like a source, it gives you thing that looks like a source if you tell it that it's wrong and ask it for a thing that looks like an apology, that's what you get

I hate this explanation/apology trope in AI output. Gemini did not decide to demonstrate what the requested email might have looked like after realizing it couldn't find it. It generated a plausible-seeming output to the query because that's what it does.

Right after he “checks the gold” at Fort Knox.

portland stands strong against the invasive pickleball menace

Seems likely that two people with their lawful open-carry guns saw another person with their lawful open-carry gun and needlessly escalated to the thing for which people guns thereby killing a bystander, after which the police arrested the non-aggressor. Perhaps open-carry is not such a good thing.

this line of argumentation would also allow for necrophilia, by the way
