A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

Don’t look up.

fwiw and I know it’s not much I am a Jew who lives in New York City and while I am neither afraid of Zohran Mamdani nor his views on Israel and Palestine, I’m actually scared as hell about the horrific wave of racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia that has been unleashed since his primary win

We all know what he means. They might (gasp) elect a non-white guy.

This is extremely important. Generative AI is not a tool developed to advance for human knowledge and understanding. It is a tool explicitly developed in service of corporate greed. AI’s core utility is to undercut the cost of paying workers and thereby increase profit margins for a select few.

you’re telling me republicans are now going to call democrats communists since zohran won? they’ve never done that before it might be over

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

Are they banning the Bible because by their definition is is certainly obscene…

Fuck jackbooted thugs.

Also is it really that hard to not be a racist bigot? I mean I don’t think these people are afraid about getting fired over rooting for their favorite sports team.

Was very excited when Last Week Tonight asked @404media.co to help out with research/fact checking for an AI Slop segment that ran last night. I thought it turned out very good! Here's a few mentions of our reporting, and the full segment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpg...

Exactly. This is just par for all law enforcement.

Trying to do the whole half-decade Iraq War discourse in 72 hours.

If you want to know what someone’s values are don’t listen to what they say, look at what they do… a systems purpose is the result it produces - not sure exactly what that says about the US political system at the moment…

so basically we’ve got two options here: 1. Iran does not meaningfully respond and the stupidest assholes alive take a victory lap and think they can do this again with impunity 2. Iran does respond and the same stupid assholes escalate into god knows what great, wonderful, no notes

MAGA is a weird cult.

Vide coding? Vibe presidenting? It’s all vibes. What more do you need?

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

The White House needs this more than classrooms. www.cnn.com/2025/06/21/u...

The only thing filled with garbage is Elmo’s brain. RFKs brain was eaten by a worm. Elmo’s by ketamine.

What we should consider is the fact the right has become nothing but a bunch of racist bigots.

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

musk is genuinely not very bright and it's never been subtle, which makes the 15+ year tech press effort to mythologize him all the more embarrassing

Fucking Gestapo

It’s the same in context.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Can we just stop with this shit already? Who really wants this?

This is the most glaring hypocrisy of all. States rights only matter when the president is bad (a Democrat).

Because cops are specifically known for keeping their cool?

I am watching colleagues' classrooms turn into Dead Internet versions of school. Teachers use AI to create lessons which assign work to students who then use AI to complete it before it is turned in and assessed by AI. No humans effort required to produce gradebook entries.

Gavin Newsom vetoed a data broker privacy bill that our legislature passed last year that would have allowed Californians to opt out of all data brokers with a single click.

I live in a world where I am supposed to just accept that this sentence exists

I kid you not, my work knows that I do drawing on the side and someone in the office told me AI could save me time and my response was "but I like drawing" and it broke them. They didn't know how to answer, they just couldn't comprehend that people make art because they like making art.

Really sucks that people responsible for making laws are so in the pocket of big tech that companies release incredibly dangerous products and we are supposed to just shrug our shoulders and say along with them “can’t interfere with innovation.”

Happy Fathers Day to this shirt @kimhu.bsky.social

The Minnesota assassin supported Donald Trump and had a kill list consisting entirely of Democrats and reproductive rights advocates. But it's unclear what his political motivations might be.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

No one humiliates Trump better than Trump.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse
