The stuff to get done has to include truth & reconciliation commissions, and prison time, @kamalaharris.com, or this nation as we’ve known it is simply done for

I can't really believe it but it seems to be the case that the Times has not covered a credible accusation of rape against the President of the United States, but has two solid stories on Obama's cheesecake factory quip.

sorry to ruin your fun but his whole stoner nice guy routine is an act. Scooby's not even his real name, it's Gideon, and the only reason he can doss about in a mystery van is because his family, the D'Oubay-Doux, made a fortune in the East India Company in the 1700s. educate yourself.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

it feels like its kinda being ignored but outside a couple outliers the only thing republicans are running on in the midterms is that theyre white and democrats arent

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Bicycles. The bikes of my youth were ridiculous, heavy, clunkers, with marginal brakes and shitty tires and handlebars that would make your hands numb inside an hour. These days it’s an embarrassment of riches, great machines with excellent ride characteristics.

The leopards are out again!

@gruber.foo This is disingenuous, John, and you know it. No one thinks Obama is a Nazi or a racist. What we are trying to help you see is that, by staying on X, you, he, and others are conferring legitimacy on a social network owned by and rife with Nazis and racists.

It's good that ICE agents are miserable. It's good that they know they are hated. It's good that their families suffer for it. I want more of all of it.

Last night the President of the United States posted a video of a tiger attacking an unwell person (who was fatally mauled shortly afterward), then an AI video of himself befriending the tiger. Remember when Howard Dean yelled weird

Over on Earth 2, counterintelligence folks asked many questions along those lines.

I left X *because* I had a large following. People told me I was the reason they were staying on there, and I didn’t want to be responsible for 100k+ people sticking around for abuse, CSAM, and Nazis. Simple as that

it's like inflation got applied to corruption too

Normal people didn't used to hear, "this person built a platform that pays a man who published images of a 2-year-old being sexually abused" and ask "how are the sports scores there?" This is very recent development. Read this story, if you haven't. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

“Such and such CEO posted on X, it’s back” The CEOs are bribing Trump like crazy and cozying up to him in various ways, do we also think we should follow these great tastemakers in this too

Zelenskyy: “Don’t attack us. Don’t kill our children. We will stop attacking your diesel. I think it’s a fair deal.”

If more of them talked like that, more of them would.

employers: you must use the earth-burning plagiarism machines also employers: not like that

Mamdani, in closing, on today's ICE shooting: "This is an agency that must be abolished."

LOL LMFAO actually www.forbes.com/sites/siladi...

this is so fucking sad

they did the thing

Princess Di was a PITA

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

A cool question Mamdani raises regularly in an upbeat fashion is what if we lived in a society?

Not for nothing but the phrase is “cut and dried” as in harvested and ready for consumption and fuck the ceo of flock

There are many people for whom, currently, “AI” is inseparable from the most toxic people and organizations in the United States, if not on the planet, and for whom it feels revolting to use as a result. Solve for that. Please.

I feel like the debate about what parts of AI are good and what parts are bad should wait until we solve the worldwide crisis caused by the fact that almost of all of its evangelists in both tech and govt are morally, intellectually, and ethically unequipped to oversee it, when not downright evil.

Uh, okay.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Today, 8 years ago, my friend, Saudi Journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.

This is a better epilogue to my January story about the private equity firm profiting off of ICE's cruelest flights than I could have ever possibly hoped for. CHICAGO: You went to the mat and protected (at a minimum!) thousands of immigrants from torture. Take a bow. prospect.org/2026/10/02/i...

I do think it's important to give grace to people who realize they made the wrong choice. I don't want to. but other nicer people def should do that. I dont give a shit.

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.
