it sounds like some people are saying you shouldn’t protest because it plays into Trump’s hand and I’m not really sure what they think sitting at home is doing

The trick for telling whether a Trump picture is fully AI or not, nicely demonstrated here, is in photos you can spot the way his hair is very long at the back and swept forward over a bald head, whereas on AI it looks normal.

Elites are consumed by vicious infighting, global crisis is spiking, the government is paralyzed, economy is on the brink, and protesters are clashing with law enforcement while tanks and heavy equipment roll into the superpower's capital. It's my late Soviet childhood deja vu all over again, right?

Five years today, the statue of Edward Colston was pulled down in Bristol. Boris Johnson accused protestors of trying to "photoshop" the past and "lie about our history". I'm reposting below a thread I wrote at the time: on history, memory, and how we decide who to celebrate in our public spaces.🧵

if you're not tuned into US politics you may see "LA County Sheriffs Department" and think that's just what they call their normal police but they are actually a network of violent organized white supremacist gangs with tattoos, a code of silence, initiation rites that require police brutality, etc

If the non-negotiable position is “obviously racist wingnuts with horrifying opinions on the use of massive violence against civilians, are a cruelly persecuted minority, and anti-war protestors are an extremist Hitlerian menace” - and it is that - then this is going to happen again and again.

News media should remind its audience every time he appears that Farage is as public school as most news media. I wonder why it doesn’t…

I feel like this is easier to ignore in some places than others, but American citizens have been at war with “their” police forces for decades and I don’t know how to get people to understand that a lethal occupying force has never and will never keep us safe

Something I find most repellant about British political journalism is how easily people like Nelson are allowed to simply move on from espousing bigotry and hatred, as though it was a youthful lapse. This quote in particular is pretty stunning in its hypocrisy. This is exactly what you did Fraser!

Three men sit in a cell in El Salvador. The first asks the second why he has been imprisoned. He replies, "Because I criticized Elon Musk." The first man responds, "But I am here for praising Musk!" They ask the third man who has been sitting quietly in the back. He answers, "I AM Elon Musk".

Amazing how the stock market allowed itself to be conned with these announcements. Either Trump's the greatest con man who ever lived or America's financial geniuses are the greatest marks.

This has to be one of the most obliviously disastrous policy proposals since the Iraq War. It’s almost guaranteeing that crypto causes a financial crisis and then taxpayers bail out crypto companies. Crypto is just an elaborate scam—and this is its ultimate heist.

I'm not exactly a Biblical scholar but best I can recall, the Gospels are about 90% Jesus trying to explain some very simple but upsetting moral principles to people who are either the dumbest motherfuckers ever or willfully misunderstanding him, and AFAICT not much has changed in 2000ish years.

I can't speak to the evidence given here, and I can't go into detail given some of the stuff I've heard aren't my stories to tell, but: Yes, Wu's heel turn is extremely well-funded. Tho that's one of those things where you're awarded no points for guessing right, it's kinda transparently obvious.

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.
