Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

it’s incredibly concerning that doomsday believing evangelicals have won control of the government

I think we should just go ahead and formally abolish the Senate, because this current thing where they don't do their jobs but draw a paycheck isn't really working for me

Me: apologizing for apologizing for apologizing

That senator from Montana: oh, you’re a veteran? Let me break your arm.

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.

love to pick up my phone and see 5 - 10 different things each of which successively makes me angrier than I’ve ever been in my entire fucking life

🤔"They are narrow and they are easy..."

The historian author:
* Cites the Montgomery bus boycott
* Knows that it lasted 381 days
* Lists that as an example of "easy?"

Black people walked to work in the Jim Crow South for over a year? Easy?

Then lists "Delete Facebook" as an example of "hard?"

do they know the people who called it that are black and gay. someone should tell them the people who called it that are black and gay

Ngl I’m mostly ambivalent about MattY but popularists who want a forceful and gleeful rejection of elite social policy consensus but want those same candidates to largely embrace elite economic consensus is… something else

that you have a racist wife will still be a relevant issue! but come on man lol

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s long career was built on conflict avoidance—then, October 7 transformed and radicalized him, @Yair_Rosenberg argues:

OMFG they think we are the dumbest people who ever lived.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

WHO COULD POSSIBLY HAVE SEEN THIS COMING EXCEPT FOR EVERYONE WHO PAID ATTENTION AT ALL, EVEN A LITTLE

Jesus Christ, Ken, just oppose the war, not the process.

no sorry we’re not doing this anymore. not for a volunteer army committing atrocities

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

I'm not going to quote post because I don't want to dog pile.

But when people say, "don't heckle the staff," this isn't 2010.

We're not talking about normal people choosing normal govt staffing jobs.

This is 2026 where we're kidnapping foreign officials and building concentration camps.

were you dehumanized this week? here’s $10 🩷

“How many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984

The angle of "the Iran strikes are bad bc they didn't ask Congress for permission" reminds me of the Norm Macdonald bit about people saying "the hypocrisy" of Bill Cosby's actions was "the worst part." Macdonald:"I disagree. I think all the raping was the worst part."

Lots of people making fun of this, but as someone who showers a disabled person, this is a goddamn dream.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

"If you piss people off, they will criticize you" is the kind of insight you only glean from writing for more than a decade

god forbid an elite be subject to unsparing criticism

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.
