d.k.l.a.

Wtf is wrong with these bozos? (This is national DSA which undermines its quality local chapters & candidates with this kind of nonsense.)

This is a wonderful, inspiring story, and well worth your time.

um, wow and 😬

of course the worst people in the world see dogs as nothing more than part of their death cult fantasies just absolute pieces of shit

we love to see it ❤️

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

The Republican Party is flooding the airwaves in California with blatantly deceptive advertisements for Proposition 39 - their VOTER ID bill. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. If Prop 39 passes it will make voting harder, riskier, and more expensive. These ads are lying to you. VOTE NO ON PROP 39.

Team Paxton appears to have sent out fake mailers to Texas voters impersonating a trans student group and claiming to want to help kids secretly transition. The actual group said they had nothing to do with it, despite the mailers copying their aesthetic, and the address traces to a random UPS box.

There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness.

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Jesus Christ why are governments (both fed & state) still doing business with this racist fascistic grifter responsible for the deaths of countless innocents? Cut his contracts! Don’t keep giving him more stuff! He’s a menace to humanity & I’m tired of paying this fucking loser with my tax dollars!

Oh.

This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1859. John Brown and a group of followers invade the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today WV) to start a war and end slavery. Let's talk about this key moment in American labor history!

I interviewed 83-year editor & sound designer Walter Murch, a legendary figure. The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, Ghost, The Unbearable Lightness of Being...and The English Patient, which turns 30 this year.

omfg what are we even becoming? Dear lord let me croak before I have to look up & see billboards on the moon

I would take more seriously the people promoting the idea of AI consciousness if they first materially grappled with the (much more obvious) consciousness of animals and how that affects our moral obligations to them.

When you step back a second and consider that this Administration has committed so many crimes, both against the laws of the land and against humanity, that they are trying to manufacture charges against Omar becomes even more enraging.

I dunno but it seems like the rapid disintegration of what’s left of the current president’s brain ought to be a bigger story. Anyway, I was reliably and repeatedly told Joe Biden was too old I guess?

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

WTAF??? and who has the power to stop these fascist goons?

the tech industry is about to invent books

More callous & pointless destruction of irreplaceable and beautiful things. Just the stupidest mfers in charge of everything & we’re all incapable of slowing their roll. (See earlier post about bulldozing over ancient Nazca images back in April.) I cannot wait for the fall of this empire of idiots.

JFC there is no corner of creativity that AI won’t steal and slop. Just burn it all down, man.

"Before Stonehenge was raised, before Egypts first pyramid broke ground,before the Nazca people drew their famous lines across the Peruvian desert,someone in what is now southern Arizona shaped a 272-foot fish into the earth On April 23,2026,"a border-wall contractor drove heavy equipment across it"

On this #worldfarmanimalsday we celebrate them all. We recognize each individual as a sentient being and honor their consciousness. This day reminds us to acknowledge their experiences, and to protect and fight for their right to live

Preach it, Your Holiness! 🙏

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

My god the cruelty is unfathomable (and yes I know this is not a new practice forcing terrified children to represent themselves in immigration court but it’s still horrifying). I will vote for any Dem who ensures Miller & co are sent to a super prison in El Salvador for this shit.

lol this is the funniest thing I’ve seen all month. 😂

Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass with an estimated 800,000 people in Paris on Saturday, after spending the morning with migrants, the poor, and adults newly entering the Catholic Church. “For Christians,” he added, “the poor are not a sociological category, but the very ‘flesh’ of Christ.”

You cannot treat people you view as human like this.

What is it, what nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

How is ICE making record arrests? I found the answer in Pa. coal country, where cops lured by a promise of federal $$$ have embraced ICE's 287(g) and are throwing up checkpoints, raiding job sites, arresting 100s, and terrorizing their communities My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/penn...
