there have been stories trickling around about ICE raids where they refuse to show warrants. It was mostly being chalked up to hubris and emboldened agents, but now we can see it’s official policy

some of our more Sensible commenters need to come to terms with the fact that one reason key dems are reticent to respond to Trump's kidnapping/deportation actions is that they think the anti-genocide activists should be deported

News media captured by Corp interests downplays climate emergency by treating extreme weather as aberrational one offs. These outlets r purposely misleading people & putting them in danger to protect their advertisers & owners’ interests. Which is why YellowDot releases The Extreme Weather Report.

I will say it again — DEI has always polled well and the idea that it's broadly upopular is wholly the invention of pundits nursing their own grievances and projecting them onto an imagined average American. Many such cases.

been pretty cool finding out President Deals doesn't actually have any idea what deals are and is in fact ideologically opposed to the exchange of currency for goods or services

The cool thing about liberal “democracy” is people like Henry Kissinger can be a state department fixture for years, never having been elected by the people, killing people and toppling governments all over the globe, and some don’t think that’s “authoritarian”

Kudos to whoever convinced Discord that a beloved and eminently functional chat app needed to start giving people quests and loot boxes. You were wrong and you represent a digital red tide but you must have made a hell of a deck.

Realized recently that what Chotiner feasts on is the deeply-held belief among elites that it is unfair to consider them bad people for having abhorrent views. So he gets them to state their beliefs, points out that they're horrific, then lets them melt down in how-dare-yous for connecting the dots.

Frankly, the fact that the British government won't immediately break off all ties with Israel after this should tell us how committed they are to the genocide of Palestinians.

Chotiner: You've written a lot about the band Weezer over the years. Me: That's right. Chotiner: And The Blue Album is their best work as you've said. Me: 100%. Always has been. Chotiner: In 1996 in a letter to your high school girlfriend you wrote... Me: Can we go off the record real quick?

Okay I cannot recommend this thing enough for off-grid comms (with the Meshtastic firmware). It's less than $100 and it works well. The iOS and Android apps are good (there's a desktop app as well).

If you're a young person still relentlessly chasing after money and influence while the world's wealthiest man lives a life so miserable that people are cheering for his televised suicide, that's on you. Life overhand threw a parable at your head and you missed it. Enjoy grinding!

Yesterday at church I got to meet a friend’s father who was visiting- the man is a biologist at the top of his field and a world-renowned expert in a very specific topic. Obviously a very brilliant guy and living proof that there’s no absolutely no correlation between intelligence and income

The Israeli government is now saying all the quiet parts out loud, and still some Western pundits and leaders pretend not to hear.

Every now and then you get this kind of mea culpa from Israel, they know it'll be reproduced across western media and it gives the veneer of a functioning country rather than a rabid genocidal entity run by utterly and irredeemably evil people
