This is unfathomably shameful. How do we even have to debate this? Why would anyone ever again be so foolish as to trust or help the United States if this is how we treat people who risk their lives on our behalf?

ME: That’s about it. It’s my first job and I’m really nervous so if you could let me know what you think that would be so helpful CHATGPT: CIA analyst, congratulations! I’ll keep it simple: no, buying large quantities of ammonium nitrate is not suspicious — it’s a common fertilizer for agriculture

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

www.popsci.com/environment/... Aircela's $15-20k machine makes 1 gallon of gas per day out of air and 75kWh of electricity. Or you could put that energy in an EV and get 255 miles instead of 38, without the machine in between, and no combustion products on our streets.

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Whoa. So this guy had a shootout with cops BEFORE he went into the second residence and he still managed to kill them AND escape. Even though they talked about cops "intuition" being the reason they went to the second victims home. Hm.

it's funny to look at this stuff in light of all the posting about how Based and Revolutionary Andor was and how squish libs IRL could never be Mon Mothma. because Andor is very explicit that the only thing that should be required to fight fascism is opposition to fascism.

no consequences here! none. remember when jon stewart roasted this guy in the free market of ideas? didn't work. didn't do anything. it's jail or nothing.

submitted 18 hours ago • 1 comment

this is correct. we're currently living in an age of no consequences. seems like the only way back to a stable society is either a serious crackdown on all kinds of corrupt activity - including potential 1st amendment curtailments for liars - or, nutjob militias start blowing up influencers

something to remember is that on the whole political reporters worship power. it makes them feel important. it temporarily addresses their many psychological shortcomings and weaknesses. this will never change but you don’t have to accept it either.
