gee I wonder why

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

Wtf

what if you could make something that _wasn't_ sometimes wrong by design

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

As ever with the Labour Party "Someone should do something!" - person who can do something

My position is that George Osborne's political ideas were fundamentally bad and didn't work, not that they were basically ok and could have worked if they'd just been "competently managed." Sorry if this offends everyone in the Westminster bubble who really wants austerity to have been good.

I don't want to be the one told to scroll up

the point of this is that it is stupid as fuck. and every Republican will still vote for it. the rank stupidity is a flex, an exultation of their absolute power over the party.

the first good post i think i've ever seen from a democratic committee account

There are critics of DEI who point to its historic use as a way to capture the rhetoric of social justice movements and mitigate the transformative potential of anti discrimination law, and then there are critics of DEI who think race and sex discrimination is good.

Calvin Robinson looking for another religious group to join, like some sort of sect pest

A bit of professional disappointment that Wired beat me to it. But glad the info is out. I can confirm the key details of this report based on my own reporting -the name of the DOGE operative and that yes the reports about read only access is categorically false. Not only does Marko have full …

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

i’m just photoshopping muppets onto the cover of harper’s bazaar: thread

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Check it out - they made a Q-Anon *against* Trump now. I love new grifts!

My favourite thing about Liz Truss is that she got the Think Tank Guy's Ultimate Boon, she got essentially handed prime ministership unopposed and finally got to put her ideas into action. And it turns out they fucking suck and nobody likes them, and they crash the economy and kill the queen

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

I meet adults who are frustrated by the inability of young people to google things how we did at their age, seems to be from losing touch with how it's all trash now. our lives either don't need it as often or we take for granted we gradually learned to work around slop as it festered with alt text

while everyone else was busy writing slop articles about how adrian dittmann sounds like elon musk i decided to actually find him. investigation with @jsweetli.bsky.social and @ryan.staticnoi.se thespectator.com/topic/real-a...

twitch fortnite streamer called ConnorEatsPants vs Richest Guy Alive is maybe not the frost/nixon we wanted but maybe it's the frost/nixon we deserve

everything about this new Meta AI bot is so dystopian but for me the AI-generated images of nonexistent donated coats is up there

Conservatives want America to be a white country. But they also want to exploit high tech workers from India and East Asia. Could a new form of apartheid be the solution?

More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.

This is actually probably the clearest explanation of what actually happened.

My Boxing Day: woke up to cat puke everywhere. Then cleaned their boxes, which was followed by one pissing straight on the floor. Stubbed my toe, squoze my finger, broke a vase and nearly my TV, then realised the food I had planned was expired. Then I had two Uber Eats orders cancelled

Just going to post this for myself. No context.

damn

My home town is about to vote to change its name from Lakselv (directly translated to Salmonriver) to Elv (River) in response to all the wild salmon becoming extinct from the rivers.

grappling with the implications of The Claims Adjuster turning out to be a hot Italian tech bro gym rat who went to Penn, seems to have had a pretty gnarly back injury, retweets anti-woke nonsense, and has read not one but two books by Steve-O
