Trump: "Can you imagine standing here 15 years ago and talking about the transgender mutilization? Everybody would say 'this politician is crazy'"

It would be grand, then, if the Government of Canada would terminate any use of X/Twitter. And don't say, "Oh, we need it to get our messages out," because then you are "caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider."

Mark Carney on what Elon Musk's throttling of Starlink means for Canada: "We do not want to be caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider that puts Canadians at risk or compromises our sovereignty, our ability to express our values and live our values."

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Ossoff: "It's the most corrupt administration of all time & everybody knows it. While the crook president & his crook family rake in billions from all over the world, you pay more for everything... they lied us into war & spent most of the last year covering up for the world's most famous pedophile"

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

To believe you've already won is a particular kind of self-focus If you win you won and If you lost you really won

Trump: "I don't need to do this. I already won. Somebody said 'good luck with the election.' I said, 'No, I already won.' I don't need to do this."

How cray-cray will this get? Oh shit: is this what every populace over all human time experiences at the collapse? How many kingdoms were recorded for averting disaster? Time to sleep

...making the arch both a crow's nest for the Capitol's prison guards and a legitimate military target under international rules of war, should they matter again one day the J6 insurrection continues apace

ForceBlast@forceblast.bsky.social

Oh, just our moronic president casually telling the entire world and our adversaries where they can find a large cache of munitions. Also, clearly the snipers are for us. He’s a very stupid and very sick person. Enjoy your $5+ gas folks. It isn’t going to get better.

just sittin' here not seeing a downside to taxing all the billionaires into multi millionaires a person with access to a billion dollars is a danger to the world

Yet another reason to dump CO2 into the skies as quickly as possible: to clear the Arctic for shipping bonus! more oil extraction possibilities too!!!

"I wrote the piece and Claude found the links relevant to my claims" is, even without the AI, such an admission of poor thinking and argumentation. your claims should emerge from the evidence!

Less shocking to me was reading this bit at the end, where Erickson - whose entire day-to-day job is just wanking out a bit of punditry once or twice a week - has handed much of that over to AI.

"Household net worth leaped $12.8T!" $10.7T of that gain came from stocks. The top 10% own roughly 90% of stocks. That’s not households getting richer, that’s shareholders being reported as “everyone.” Meanwhile, the middle class is disappearing and the poor are dying.

Choosing not to speak out is your decision Choosing to stop someone else from speaking out is censorship The silence is complicit -- note to Ed on the day he Found Out By, K

If one stacked a million dollar bills on their side, it would take about an hour to drive past it If one counted to 1,000,000,000 (one trillion) one number per second, it would take 31,000 YEARS

PA resident here! I am interested in spearheading a "Fetterman Amendment" to the Pennsylvania Constitution to either: 1/2

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

time to adjust your math about how many seats Dems need to win to take the Senate -- here's John Fetterman video message to Trumpapalooza in which he pledges to work with President Trump

1) Recall a Senator by referendum Or 2) Retain or dismiss a Senator every 2 years at the scheduled elections This would *not* impact Fetterman, but rather will be his legacy Comment on your preference for updates to this thread

This: Heretics

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5-6

Let's be clear: this isn't a win. This is proof Trump put our service members at risk to get Venezuelan oil for his billionaire buddies.  Putting our soldiers’ lives on the line for private profit is a gross dereliction of his constitutional duty.  www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/b...

I hope this is true: The director of Steel Magnolias stopped filming and said to Dolly Parton "you can't act. I don't know why they hired you" To which she replied "I'm Dolly Parton, and they hired you to make it look like I can act"

I've been a Linux fan from the jump Cut my teeth on Unix (so, old-ish) I've never before recommended it to replace anyone's windows home whatever But Ubuntu Studio and ZorinOS are pretty much there They even have solid Windows emulation for many/most(?) things

Blue Tsunami #NoKings@bluefuture.bsky.social

The only practical use for Windows in my opinion is there are certain programs that refuse to run on any other operating system. The whole OS has devolved into a surveillance system.

As a fan of presidential presidents, I really wish he'd gone 'tan suits all summer' for the rest of his term(s) Like a "don't be a hater cause you can't rock this fit" kinda vibe
