this is how I feel about writers as well. I just can't take anyone seriously as a strategic communicator who outsources their strategy and their coms to a program with no cognition

Consider a programmer looking at code they themselves wrote a year ago, now having to identify and fix a bug. They have to rebuild the mental model of what is going on, which is easier if they have already had a mental model of what is going on.

Weird how it doesn't happen at Drag Queen story hours.

Genuinely surprised the Washington Post released this lol it unambiguously makes Israel look evil

The Washington Post just released the audio of Israeli operatives threatening to kill the children and families of Iranian officials. Once again, the Israeli government is the largest and deadliest terrorist organization in the Middle East.

BREAKING: George Santos has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

unfortunately, the police are taking over the apartment of the deceased and we suspect that the police are going to take them to the pound. we are desperately hoping someone can step up, at least temporarily, to take them in before this happens. we have until monday. PLEASE HELP.

Photos from our protest in West Heidelberg last night to save the Olympic Village Pool. Shamefully, Labor, Liberal and Greens all voted to close the pool and ignore the community. Despite this setback, the fight continues - there's an organising meeting this Sat 1pm Shelley Park, Heidelberg Heights.

where's that one post where someone describes the plot of the Genderswapped Twilight Book and some 4chan user was like "I get it now..." about a dominant scary vampire woman stalking you

Australia's ABC News explains what the Israeli government won't allow the news organization to report on from within Israel. www.instagram.com/reel/DLOxTZ9...

Making decisions based on fear is how Americans ended up in this mess, rewarding Democrats for incompetence because Republicans are scary. Democrats know they don't need to do anything because Americans will always come crawling back to them when Republicans make everything even worse.

Jessica Ramos basically admitted to Brian Lehrer that she thinks Trump will punish and single out NYC if Mamdani wins and that's her justification for backing Cuomo First off, STOP MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON FEAR. Second, stop giving that man more power by rewarding his racism with cowardice. FFS

I would like one of the people saying that Cuomo will be better at “standing up to Trump” to spell out exactly what they mean

you don't even have to look at it strategically! people will straight up stop coming to places if there's nothing else there but a strident requirement to stare hard into the abyss at all times

Well-meaning folks on Bluesky who dismiss sportsball as some kind of distraction to What Matters Now are missing a key point in creating an alternative to X: Sports for better or worse dominates American culture. You ignore enormous swaths of potential allies when you dismiss sports.

The reason that the NYT editorial board, the Atlantic writing staff, etc hate Zohran is because he’s one of the only living progressive politicians with genuine intent of leveraging power

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Time is a flat circle and everyone to the left of center needs to prepare for when the MSM and establishment (biz, think tanks, etc) coordinate in sandbagging and wrenching any and all progressive voices that manage to achieve a modicum of power and influence in the coming years

Producer: You film that live action children's movie of George of the Jungle? Director: Sure did boss, real fuckin' sexy, just like you asked. Producer: what

...okay but why'd he have to be OILY too?

"An erratic & temperamental Trump is once again poised to take the US into a war that will end in failure. "It is a pity that the Albanese government is not yet ready to assert and advocate the moral dimension of the “good international citizenship” that Labor govts love to talk about." Allan Behm

YES BITCH YES HAVE YOU SEEN THE WORLD RN

The current corrupted leaders who started wars among themselves are no different from the behaviour of the Napoléon, Hitler, Stalin and US leaders who have been at war since WW2. #auspol #war #UN

And just like Nazi Germany, those in power will do nothing because it's either inconvenient or, in the case of the West, all a bunch of glorified vassal states.

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases. This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

#BREAKING: Over a (sharp) public dissent from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS clears the way for the Trump administration to remove migrants to third countries *without* giving them an additional opportunity to contest whether they face persecution or other forms of mistreatment there:

this is horrific.

weird how many companies go belly up because someone bought them and then spun them off with all of the buyers debt until they implode name a beloved brand from your childhood that's gone now and that's what happened

blockbuster didn't die because it didn't acquire netflix. it died because it was acquired by vision as a way for viacom to offload its debt. when blockbuster died, it had a billion dollars in debt on the books, almost all of it viacom's.

“My father was an absolute monarch who maintained power through the secret police and terror. Mr Prime Minister, my country yearns for freedom…”

I think we need to de-Chris-Chan-ize the internet. No I don’t give a fuck what this random person y’all have decided to stalk is up to, and it’s really weird that you do. “New Chris Chan lore dropped!” Who the hell cares? Their life isn’t for your entertainment you pathetic waste of cum.

note to keir starmer: Iraq destroyed blair's legacy & people liked him a lot more than they like you
