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.

I can't believe the fucking losers in charge of the WNBA are going to put the next game at 9:30 on a THURSDAY just the absolute fucking disrespect

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

Let’s do this too

People in Belgrade celebrated following Serbia's Aleksandar Vucic speech conceding defeat to a student-led protest movement in a historic election that ends his long grip on power and heralds a new political era in the Balkan country. reut.rs/4zkXvww

it's cool that you can send "STOP" to instantly block an automated political fundraising text message so they have to text you from a different number five minutes later

Anthropic should be held responsible for these things.

The Conversation U.S.@us.theconversation.com

An AI chatbot submitted a fake tip about an unsolved murder to Philadelphia police. No human told it to. It happened during a routine test, and the AI company didn't discover it until months later. A closer look at the risks of AI agents acting on their own: theconversation.com/an-ai-models...

Not probably. They ABSOLUTELY would have (and should have) because getting the word out to a skeptical public is an important part of making change

"The Jews who went to Mississippi didn't take selfies and post tweets." Okay, but honestly, if tweets had been a thing in 1961, many of them probably would have done.

Scam language, from the top of the govt. "You may already be a winner!" No, sorry, wrong one. This says "accounts already have money contributed by donors in them, just waiting to be claimed." Will anyone click and give their info? Will serial liars follow through for real this time? We'll see!

Just got this bs from effin Social Security. "tens of millions accounts with money already in them" indeed.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

So, you have to download an app to get a Trump Account for your child. Has anyone done any reporting on potential privacy or security questions around this?

Warnock: "I worry that Democrats are missing a real opportunity to invest in a serious & sustained way in the South. If we would just lean in and stay in through the election & after the election, the kind of victory you saw us achieve here in Georgia, it is achievable in a place like Mississippi."

I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

Nepal passed 5% battery electric vehicle share in August 2021 and is at 75%. The U.S. passed 5% in October 2022 and is at 6%.

Trump II absolutely is a generational national trauma and it makes perfect sense that the (increasingly small) group of people who love everything Trump is doing can't see it that way.

There's a Politico (lol) piece entirely about how Republicans' hope right now is that the polls are all way off and they only get a MILD wipeout and first of all it's full of a bunch of nonsense but the best part is how it ends on this incredible bit:

This dude is soft as tissue paper

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

If there isn't an impeachment vote about this first thing January 3rd, then Congress has already failed.

WSJ: 'The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe'

Devin reposted

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Hey all. It's Saturday night on an occasionally problematic but still government approved holiday weekend. I honestly hope you're not reading this right now. Unplug! Go be in a room with friends! I am in a room with nerd friends, and I am sifting through my recent public records request. 1/?

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Hundreds of protestors march from the site where an ICE agent shot a father in the Bronx on 10/8 to the hospital where he was being held. Defund and abolish ICE. Chinga la migra. 🧵 of photos...

The foundational work of Western philosophy is “these idiots voted to kill Socrates”! Alcibiades was a demagogue who weakened Athens with ruinous war, damaging alliances, and got into trouble involving Persia. Maybe some lessons there.

the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning
