Fanny Assup United States, Census, 1900

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

Will anyone—anyone at all—ask Trump about the rape allegations published in an official report by the House Judiciary Democrats? Or will he continue to escape accountability for his violence?

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

But, much like we've seen with anyone else who's fallen down the "AI Art" slophole, He doesn't want to make art, but to *have made* art. To wave his hand and have all the prestige that comes with making a thing, JUST LIKE he thought the Blue Check *gave* legitimacy, instead of recognizing it.

FANTASY VERSIONS OF ROMAN ARMOR, WITH HORSES WEARING MODERN TACK, AND GODDAMN STIRRUPS, SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS EARLY. THIS IS LESS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE THAN HAVING JULIUS CEASAR USE ABRAMS TANKS.

The ships are being rowed... by no one, apparently, because all of the men are crowding the bows ready to leap out of their viking longships and charge the cavalry racing towards them on the beach. None of this makes any goddamn sense, historically, tactically, or physically.

A reminder that something like this instead is a faithful recreation of what Bronze Age armor would resemble:

Also its horns are in a different position, now. Also, I am less than a minute in to this.

Welcome to the Good Side. :) I blocked them about a year ago, when they platformed a once-popular novelist's long, convoluted essay defending "AI." 🤮 She spent so much time clarifying her weird points in the comments (which Mike censored 🫤) that she eventually admitted: she "wrote" it with "AI." 🤡

Sweet weeping swine of Circe this sounds VERY MUCH my jam!!! www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...

This seems like a big deal

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

3X: “At birth, Mr Vance was named James Donald Bowman, after his father, Donald Bowman.” After his mother remarried, “he became James David Hamel…After law school, J.D. married a classmate, Usha Chilukuri, and they both changed their last name to Vance” Gift link www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/u...

Anybody remember what Pentagon Pete Hegseth's mother said about him? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Complete bullshit. The body cam footage shows nothing of the kind. It shows a bunch of cops rushing a car over alleged shoplifting, and a driver trying to flee. It’s an easily disproven lie, strikingly similar to the DHS lies about Renee Good and others. mississippitoday.org/2026/10/22/s...

Oh my DAYS

Does it make sense to deport a man who overstayed a visa but otherwise has no criminal record when his deportation means shutting down a food pantry that serves meals to 7,000-8,000 needy people a month? Does choosing not to exercise discretion in his case make America greater?

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

Elon and the Epstein class have no intention of repaying the national debt. They are actively trying to crash society in order to set themselves up to be feudal lords. This isn't me joking. It is their literal plan

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.

Still not over this absolutely extraordinary authorial retconning.

Confiscating the passport of the elected representative of the opposition territory in a raid with a flimsy pretext to attempt to strip them of citizenship is something we have words for when it happens in other countries

They took Ilhan’s PASSPORT?! Um

Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

GET INTO MY EYEBALLS

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

🤦‍♀️🫠

Love that they cant actually just interview JK on her trans views cause she is so rabid she wouldnt be able to hold it together and it would just reveal how much of a raging untethered madwoman she’s become

This Is Just to Say I have trained the AI to read to our baby the one you were probably expecting me to interact with Calm down AI is awesome so sweet and so cold

This is the sort of credulity that we as humans cannot afford in our press. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE SO FAR HAS BEEN “ACTING ON ITS OWN” every single one has been trained on data where people had done this first and then asked to attempt to do this all for the “if anything our AI is *too* powerful”
