Oh wow look the first commercially available home assistant robot. And it looks absolutely HAUNTING.

Can you imagine what the world would be like if poor understanding of sociology studies could be used as proof for policy decisions? You know the one; the tactic where you point out a trend of X crime in a demographic but only to imply an inherent inferiority rather than actually digging into why.

What school of thought does this belong to? It seems quite popular but lacks a name… “My cultural atrocities; A sad day in our history that we have moved past. Your cultural atrocities; A clear sign of innate, genetic evil and genocide is the only solution.”

#USA Being politically aware in an American state is scuffed. Especially in NY. You need to track down your District Congressman. Then you find your US Senators of State. But there’s also your New York State Senate Representative (which is different from the actual, federal senate, mind you).

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive."

Our Editor-in-Chief sharing how the Luigi story came about.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

If you miss TikTok, just try YouTube Shorts. You can listen to a robot poorly describe a scene from a movie.

Do I have any followers who are gerontologists? Especially folks who are familiar with the debate between the work of Michel Poulain and Saul Newman?

Here's why it would be a mistake to do anything that resists fascists, By Some Fascist

Elon Musk is a racist drug addled con artist and Donald Trump is a senile buffoon who just does whatever the people who are in the room with him tell him to. This explains basically everything that happens with both guys do not try to read anything beyond it

we are aware of the situation

This month's bonus episode is our annual Worst Takes of the Year. Listen to us discussing terrible takes on polyamory and Columbus Day while also learning the identity of the CEO shooter in real time.

Universal Basic Income saves lives. It is a life-saving policy.

We are slowly approaching the funniest possible scenario: woke elon

get every single one of these people out of leadership and put them on a farm somewhere i don’t give a shit www.msnbc.com/jonathan-cap...

yeah the "it is the hollow failures of neoliberalism that have lead to distrust in institutions!" thesis is just total cope because the largest predictor of distrust in institutions is not "how has this institution performed" but "has it been propagandized against by bad actors"

Mine is watching at 2x, then realizing it was too fast to absorb everything and watching again. Perfect system.

Finally deleted Twitter off my phone. Absolutely fuck that place.

It’s genuinely shocking if you’re remotely familiar with the basic facts of trans care and youth medicine. It is *profoundly* difficult to access gender-affirming care as a minor and the Times has printed more than a dozen articles implying that it is too easy.

the reason this is important is that Trump has sold his re-election as proof that he is a god-king above all consequence who can do anything he wants already losing two nominations proves that is not true, and the sooner we can puncture that narrative and brand him a hubristic failure the better

Good Lord

meanwhile, just a few blocks away, Samantha had her sights set on a rich CEO as well

One of the unmitigated pleasures of 2024 has been watching fully 90% of the institutions in Germany that invited me for events about how bad cancel culture was (where I was usually cast as the weirdo wokester) canceling events, people, opinions like there’s a free sub in it.

An abiding tenet of American conservative thought these days is that Republican voters should never, ever be held responsible for Trump's ascension to power.

This sort of democratic backsliding, where Republicans seek to overturn the effect of an election by reallocating powers away from positions they have lost, has become almost routine now. But it should remain shocking.

yet another patented Zuckerberg bag fumble. the guy is just not that clever

Fuck you www.cnn.com/2024/11/20/p...

despite the world becoming scary i still have a perhaps niave but unwaivering belief that a better world is possible

New episode! Richard Simmons hits the big time, and then meets the pope??? maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/epis...

After nearly three decades of writing behind bars, I know how important it is to shed light on what happens inside prisons. prisonjournalismproject.org/2024/07/08/b...

It's wild how these guys constantly demand impeccable message discipline from tens of millions of random social media users but never from the, like, 25 dudes who constantly write columns about how random social media users are bad.

Whatever explanation you land on, the length of the campaign had nothing to do with the result. Every other developed country does it in half the time. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Everyone else at the store was stocking up on stress-eating provisions too

Lol, what a racist loser.
