Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

This is so silly I love it

I dunno if it counts as aesthetic but I literally could not watch it without getting a massive headache from the shaky cam.

A lot of doomers in the replies, but tbh, I don't think they'll be able to convince as many people as usual that this is somehow not the fault of the republicans in charge. The counter to blaming Iran is "yeah, right, WMDs, just like Iraq". The counter to blaming immigrants is pointing at ICE etc.

Breaking news on the price of the wind and the sun:

Does... he actually think all of this is just a TV show?

you need to understand that Platner is not just a candidate , he is a canary in the coalmine to a certain kind of man that the world has not changed and they still can get plush gigs and pole position in society and life with zero qualification and even less aptitude for the work .

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 is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.

Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.

A quick thread:

don't let me catch you operating the lathe of heaven without ppe

the thing about Newsom that I think most Dems still are not prepared for is that he is the single most Trumpian guy on their side and it isn't close. This dude would be calling for King George III to retake the US if he thought it helped him personally. His only principle is "what's good for Gav"

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

Yeah, like, I'm sure all the guys betting money on there are super familiar with all the players in Iranian politics. 🤦‍♀️

If the US invested a fraction of what it spends on the military industrial complex on sustainable energy it wouldn't need to steal anyone else's oil.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.

After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.

Here’s my investigation:

The world is not ready for Florida Man as spy.

I can't remember where I heard it first but the phrase "anyone who thinks we should kill people to decrease the population is volunteering" has been stuck in my head for a couple decades

I think this is kind of correct but also incomplete. The people who "got bored" isn't everyone, it's relatively well off people who are part of the "mainstream" white, christian culture & have some power through wealth and/or politics. But folks outside that group don't get listened to.

CATS from the video game Zero Wing (the All Your Base Are Belong To Us game), saying: "I am Locutus of Borg. Resistance is Futile"

Dracula from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, saying to Richter "Get out of my house"

It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

JFC! Stop with this fucking garbage!

This isn't an either/or situation...they are both evil; Maybe if we as a society can stop treating everything like a zero-sum game, painting everything in binary, we can all grow the fuck up and realize that we don't *have* to take a bite of either shit sandwich

Call me crazy, but it almost seems like they want some Americans to die over there to drum up support for the war. (I think they think it will make people mad at Iran, instead of at them. It might for a few maga, but overall I don't think so)

I think you're right about Trump himself, but a disturbing number of people in his circle are apocalypse believers. I don't think he believes it, but the idea of being the instrument of divine wrath (or at least being perceived as that by believers) is probably pretty irresistible to a narcissist.

The way they say that while *bombing an Islamic majority country*

Maybe I'm misremembering or didn't understand how it worked because I was young, but I remember that you used to have to apply to be listed on search engines. What if we had a Wikipedia style project of a search engine with only links verified & tagged by humans, no aggregators/socials, just sites

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.

I hate the gambling-on-everything culture that is going on at the moment, but I kind of want to check if people are betting on how long it will be til the military shoots one of these down.

Exactly. The "campus left" was right about Vietnam and Iraq too. College kids protest because there is a culture of protest at college (and also because they are young and have energy and are learning about a lot of things for the first time), I wish there was more protest culture elsewhere in USA.
