This movie is going to break pirating records.

Musk doc already gone from theaters: Film was "released by Bleecker Street Films, which was sold in the last week to ebay founder Pierre Omidyar — not considered a friend of Elon Musk, but a billionaire nevertheless." Via Showbiz 411

So called "leftists" getting mighty upset over people saying we should be protesting like they are in France and Albania. Boy, I wonder how we got to such a terrible existence in this country...

This better win a Pulitzer.

Maybe, just maybe, the system sucks so much ass that we need to have a real hard look at what it is and maybe decide it shouldn’t continue? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

I literally thought this was satire for the first five times I read it. My brain can’t handle this level of rot.

LLM agents are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.

Mutual sentiment aside, the elephant in the room is the societal upbringing in toxic pacifism with, "violence is never the answer". This is how we ended up in this mess to begin with. Paired with the patriarchal backbone of this country, it's made only two extremes: utmost compliance or radicalism.

"We have guns too" isn't a bad campaign slogan to run against MAGA, gotta be honest

I’ve never seen a more accurate embodiment of how most people feel nowadays.

Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

I never thought I’d have to dust off and bring out the ‘Scaramucci scale’ again.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ruhle: "Wow. I want to just read this to you. A quote from a White House official reaction to Zacharia's first press briefing. 'Getting behind the podium is tough, but she got off on the wrong foot. She needs to get much better fast, otherwise she'll break Scaramucci's record.'"

What the fuck is up with her neck? Lol

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia on Fox & Friends: "People need to start giving him credit for his multifaceted approach and how he's trying to bring down prices almost unilaterally all by himself"

I've gotta give threads credit where it's due. Despite them being a bit crass, I'd much rather be around others who are justifiably livid and saying shit off the chest than whatever restrained pompousness that happens here on a continuous basis.

As predicted, all the reaction comments to this are full of fucking baby talk insults and childish “gotchas”. You don’t use a situation like this to try and out-smug someone who’s trying to instigate death and genocide. Fucking pathetic.

Robespierre is cringing in hell right now.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth on Nidal Hasan: "He's gonna get a firing squad of soldiers. As it should be. We'll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it's public. Because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things."

I’m not going to correct him on this. That is an incredibly fitting comparison, actually. Thomas Edison was a monster who stole patents and ideas from others to claim them as his own.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump is doing tricks on that thing: "Elon is our modern day Thomas Edison"

Shit like this is why I have zero expectations that even if the democrats sweep everything, they’ll likely do fuck-all with this piece of shit. He should be tried by a public tribunal, but we allow monsters to continue all for the sake of ensuring capital and their mediocre lives are uninterrupted.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

Good to see users on this site halt their self-masturbatory egos for five whole seconds and pay attention to the protests in France that have been going on for a while. Kind of hard to compete with teenagers fucking shit up there over *checks notes*...better conditions for schools. We're pathetic.

And it still hasn’t. Everyone is still either keeping things small on purpose, or attempting to get their 15 minutes of fame, but will completely ignore the macro-levels of terror that is actually affecting millions. And even if they did, there’d be nothing done about it. We deserve all of this.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social

incredible this will get little to no coverage

We’ve resorted to out-smugging each other online again, especially after blatant fascist and treasonous talk was spewed on live tv last night. All I can think now is how earned our current situation is. We’ve made our bed, fucked our captors in it, and now want to snuggle as they try to walk away.

This country is so determined to out-smug everyone else online that they’re willing to die a slow and painful death from a thousand cuts rather than actively pursue forced change. No one cares that you have the same moral compass, a large chunk of us do. Maybe put it into action instead.

I love how much blatant evil is going on around us and yet nothing has been done about it. Fair warning that I will poke anyone in the eyes who tell me to either "vote" or "do it yourself".

Too wordy. "Eat shit and go fuck yourself" gets the point across much quicker.

I finally sat down and wrote an email to the Talarico campaign. Doing nothing felt untenable. I encourage other decent Texans to communicate their disappointment. If this can help you get started, feel free to use anything that works for you

Embrace the future! Gain notoriety and a wage through a profile on a social media site by being “shocked” repeatedly by atrocities that are happening at a faster pace than ever, while dropping the occasional shitpost.

During these times of atrocities and struggles, this site feels tone deaf and completely detached from reality for a majority of us when we’re only given editorials, historical precedents, and random shitposts. No one can dare scold us for feeling like all hope is lost when our info hubs do this.

This should’ve been the last straw for those with penises who have no concrete plans on having children with their consenting partners to get a vasectomy. It was for me. It’s been four years since I’ve been snipped and I’ll be thankful for the rest of my days that I got it.

Prison Policy Initiative@prisonpolicy.org

Today marks 4 years since the fall of Roe v. Wade Now, for most women on probation and parole, the ability to receive abortion care depends solely on getting *permission* to travel out of state from an officer Access to basic health care should not be in the hands of officers

By all accounts, he should be rotting away in a hospital bed. It just goes to show how money will keep your corpse animated long enough to cause maximum damage to those you hate.

Paul Waldman@paulwaldman.bsky.social

Trump is 80 years old and showing signs of both physical and mental decline. So how about we cover his age the same way we covered Biden's? With teams of reporters assigned to it, long front page stories, and ubiquitous debate? My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-decl...

Half these comments are just various forms of being “shocked” by all this. Grow the fuck up. We’re WAY past that point and need to focus on direct (and effective) action to stop all this madness.

Lindsey Graham: "I spent 4.5 hours with President Trump. Here's what I think will happen. If this deal fails, he's gonna take the Strait of Hormuz over by force. We'll charge a fee for all those who go through to pay for the operation... if Iran contests control of the strait we'll obliterate them"

it was my father who stepped in and protected me from my mother’s wrath and abuse when i was a child. they’re both dead now, but i will only recognize one of my parents on their holiday

bsky is the more in-depth journalism or opinion column of the internet. you just won’t find as many breaking updates or actionable information here. it doesn’t hold the same level as pre-musk twitter had, and to some degree that’s ok too.

i honestly don’t know what could stop me from becoming this if my babies were killed

Joey Scott@joeyneverjoe.bsky.social

LAPD killed a woman’s dog on Friday. The officers showed up 20 deep w/ a helicopter over a noise complaint. LAPD claims the dog “charged” at them. The labradoodle was wearing a Knick’s jersey, too. The video is distressing. I’ll link it in the thread.

Set me up with a lawn chair, endless cans of beer, and unlimited shotgun ammo, and I could’ve removed those letters off the building faster and cheaper than the way they’re doing it. Plus, it’d be a hell of a lot more fun.

I really hate to say it, but he seems to be “healthier” than normal today. Nature truly won’t bend to the rules of degradation and I’ve lost all hope that he’ll rid us of himself anytime soon.

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning? TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.

we were put here to live, not work for you

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Dr Oz on Medicaid requirements: "You have to work. You were not put on this planet to sit at home and watch television. The average person who's on Medicaid, who's able-bodied, watches 6.1 hours of television, or just hangs out, every day. That's not why God put you here."

All of us queers should be ashamed to be on any level of equivalence to Marsha this month. Discourse and popularity on a braindead social media site means jack shit. Pick up a brick you fucking cowards.

WHY DOES THIS MOTHERFUCKER LOOK LIKE HES FROM WHOVILLE

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

COLLINS: Politically, do you think it's a good idea to put the president's face on a $250 bill when people are struggling to afford gas and groceries? BESSENT: Do you think we should have a 250th celebration? C: But that's happening anyway-- BESSENT: No. It's happening because it's being funded

if i missed blocking one of you for supporting loli shit, do me the favor and do it for me. it’s unreal we have to do this again. trans family members in my life are hurt being associated with this pedophile apologia. being autistic, i’m also sickened at those who use it as an excuse to be rotten.

i don’t mind sports playing on tvs or if my friends watch it. but my autistic ears bleed at the SOUND of sports. between football’s constant whistles, basketball’s sharp-pitched sneaker squeaks, and hockey’s constant crunching of blades on the ice, i just wanna crawl out of my skin and die.
