Dancer at Armageddon

“My daughter is a liar worthy of public humiliation decades after the fact” vs “my stepdad was a paedophile and my mum covered for him” is easily the most on-the-nose representation of what the dynamic between “estranged parents” and their kids looks like outside the newspapers and in the real world

By contrast, I blame the antisemite with the gun. Because it turns out that even antisemites have agency.

The reason not to triangulate against trans people isn't that it's bad politics (although I believe it is) or unnecessary (although I believe it is). It's because YOU MUST NOT ABANDON THE VULNERABLE TO DEPRAVED PEOPLE WHO WILL DO THEM HARM. If we will, what's the point of anything else we do?

I'm just saying, if you see every example of someone with unconventional clothes/hair/mannerisms/language as a sign of utter civilizational collapse, there might be medications that can help you

To me there's "AI safety, the fantasy realm" and then there are actual serious people working in actual AI safety and (yes) "alignment" even if that term is tainted. The problem is that they often all get lumped together. And too many top people are obsessed with the fantasy realm.

capabilities are now to where if you let "machine god" bullshit polarize you into "mechanical parrot" bullshit, you will be at best useless and at worst actively manipulable into things like unending screeching at people who still believe in aggressive regulation, just for different reasons

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “The word "remigration" is nothing other than a synonym for ethnic cleansing based on origin and skin color.”

Congratulations, JD. You are now the new Jeb!

This is my idea of what the worst case scenario for AI is. Besides this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wv3...

These are the same people who protest for "unbiased free speech" when they think they can't say this kind of thing openly.

“Oh this thing looks cute, I’d love to take a closer look-“ It’s AI-generated.

An older one, but one even my doomer self agrees with it.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Remember that Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley Piyush Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal Raphael Cruz ran as Ted Cruz Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani ran as Zohran Mamdani, and MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics Every MAGA accusation is a confession

Is it bad my first thought was, "Really? Not even Durham, but like Charlotte?"

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Hey centrists, what was that about the Republicans being able to use Mamdani to paint the Democrats as radical, again?

When you call Mamdani a socialist, please remember:

Zohran Mamdani Refuses To Share Plan For Making Rich Richer https://theonion.com/zohran-mamdani-refuses-to-share-plan-for-making-rich-richer/

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line. 1/

“tom homan is a bitch” is a winning message

So he won the Bronx? But...but...I was told poor black voters don't like him!

My dad knew Cheney since he was fords chief of staff and would always say “i liked him then. Idk what the hell happened” In the run up to the second Iraq war my dad wrote an article comparing it to the gulf of Tonkin and Cheney himself made sure my father was fired from his gov job Anyway he’s dead

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

one of the few kinda nice things about this period of time is that it's revealed, often surprisingly, which influential political figures actually believe in something

I mean, the Democrats branded it the "Green New Deal" specifically so people would connect it to FDR's popular and successful jobs programs and the media convinced voters it was just a radical woke conspiracy/Chinese climate hoax thing. It's the propaganda machine more than the message itself.

Ice is kidnapping black citizens in Chicago in the middle of the night.

Our first ad of the general election starts airing tomorrow: “Things Can Change.”

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians." "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians."

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

I cannot stress this enough. We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility. If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Any decent person, regardless of the consequences, would respond to that with "You worthless son of a bitch."

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,
