Truly hilarious for John Oliver to be this level of credulous regarding Trump’s miraculously healed ear. Stunning stuff.

AI is great. It's allowed software developers to build their towers taller and taller. Soon they will reach Heaven and greet God

Buddy, this will all make a lot more sense to you once you realize that the dems are not opposed to what the GOP is doing.

Just saw an ad for an AI voiceover company offering dead celebrity voices including Alan Turing, and I have to say this is a level of trolling I never expected from these tech ghouls.

Like so many species before us, we will not be here forever. Our time will pass. And it will most likely be at our own hand. But for a moment, we can pause. We can stand in awe at the wonder. And maybe carrying that with us is the best way forward through the very dark times ahead. Kenn M Orfanos

Anti-imperialist scholar and activist Walter Rodney was born on this day in 1942. “By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master?”

The US is gearing up to literally starve Cuba into submission. It is absolutely criminal and obscene. And this to a country that everyone knows poses *zero* threat to the US. The people of Cuba need our full solidarity in resisting this onslaught.

This is a hill I will die on.

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

Needed this reminder today.

"It is logically impossible to simultaneously be evil, corrupt, and incompetent" is an absolutely amazing take to have in the year of 2025

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

You can always tell when you meet someone who’s never *really* stared into the middle distance.

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Imagine going through life never being fully able to mourn a dead parent because you always have a bullshit AI avatar of them in your pocket and you’re transferring a lifetime of complex emotions onto a non-feeling image that regurgitates a few of their key phrases and gestures

Gotta hand it to Guillermo del Toro for fucking up Frankenstein to an extent I honestly didn’t think was possible.

Holy shit. Zohran opened his victory speech with a Eugene Debs quote!

Don’t laugh at this. Don’t dismiss it. They’re serious. Prepare for it. And get ready to fight against it.

I can tell you this much I will *never* help YouTube by answering one question.

Every photo of the speaker of the house makes him look like a muppet that escaped containment and made it to the real world

Either this is the single greatest act of trolling in history or I have completely lost my mind.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."
