oh my god yes and if I tell my computer to print("I am alive and suffering") that doesn't make it conscious, fuck what are we even doing here

I’m not one to brag… but I mean… thanks so much to my wife for letting me do this and to Bill Kelliher for the awesome private lesson.

Personally, as a journalist and a Jew, I think the most important thing to do is to call out and point at things like the phenomenon described below. But there are a lot of gross people who have attached themselves to this conflict who are benefiting from it www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I do not mean to center myself here as I know these problems pale in comparison to the experiences of people in the war zone and their families. But in the US context, being a Jew opposed to Israel's actions is a really confusing and lonely square on the chess board.

@capillariancrest.bsky.social so what’s your verdict on Marrow Deep?

People sometimes ask me when Silicon Valley really turned bad. I always say: although it's a continuum, there was a distinct change in 2008-2009, when the Wall Street bros saw their scam collapse and moved west to start it up again.

as I’ve become older and wiser, the death penalty is one of the things I’m really radicalized against. we only get one go at this and there are no circumstances under which the state should be allowed to use its monopoly on violence to cut that short.

The folks from Maine talking about how Bluesky doesn’t “get it” have zero self awareness.

Graham Platner trying to explain away his behavior as *living a regular life* really evokes *locker room talk* for me. The normalization of men’s abuse of women has to stop. Abusing women is not regular or normal or in any way okay. I hope this gets called out by lots and lots of people.

Anyway this is why you bail at (or preferably before) nazi tattoos

Having a Nazi tattoo isn’t a purity test, you goddamn moron.

The good thing about data centers is that theyre flammable

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

Praying for Rudy Giuliani. Complicated man, but he taught me that marriage and family don't mean anything. You can just do whatever you want. Humiliate and lie to everyone you're supposed to love whenever you want, or are bored. Honestly fuck them. Also he taught me everything else is like that too.

Flyers win in in OT! Dan Vladar puts in a thoroughly impressive performance in net.

The media people who attended this dinner are content creators, not journalists. They're enabling fascists and having a good time doing it. You should unfollow them.

No, the thing that has me *terrified* about AI is that when it craters and takes the economy with it, that we will respond the same way we have during every financial crisis of the 21st century: with austerity, and austerity breeds *fascism*. 9/

of course it will fail. the point is to say "he is a danger to the country. he thinks he's jesus and he has the nukes. but republicans think he should endanger us and the troops. they should be removed from office too." and then repeat.

Doctors dress like Jesus now.

Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner are reminders that Democrats need to stick to their principles or face consequences We don’t have room for sex pests or Nazis

I’m not normally a fan of mashups, but holy shit this is good.

Everyone better keep saying this. Just the message itself is more than enough. This needs to be over. Now.

you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it

They’re talking about sports on MSNOW. For christs sake.

Nobody who truly knows sam trusts him.

If you dine with a monster, either you are a monster too —Or you’re on the menu.

This is terrifying and makes me extremely angry. How have we gotten to this point.

no one in the history of I Will See You In Court has ever come close to Seeing You In Court this hard

I love that Markwaynejoebob feels comfortable enough to constantly refer to congress as “you guys.”

So let me be clear: Israel and the United States have started a horrific war. People who claim that Jews are to blame can fuck off with their antisemitism.

Trump lowered gas prices by raising gas prices.

They obviously think we're idiots. Nothing else could explain the moronic shit these guys spew.

Oliver North and Iran-Contra was my introduction to the concept that bad guys can in fact get away with crimes as long as they are high up enough in any organization.

antisemitism among young people is: -heavily rewarded on tiktok and other youth-heavy social media -not confined to any one ideology -often directed explicitly at jewish people and jewishness, not israel

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

They killed schoolchildren, Chuck. Your “imploring” isn’t going to solve shit. Resign and let someone willing to fight against fascism take over.

Fuck every Trump voter forever.

Every republican is a scumbag.
