Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

@seanhollister.bsky.social stop the count!

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Boy I sure don’t like the bipartisan rise of getting angry at bolierplate public health and wellbeing statements from government agencies and officials since the pandemic.

I'm old enough to remember that the Huffington Post originally covered Trump in their entertainment section. www.huffpost.com/entry/a-note...

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?

BREAKING: DOJ investigates the Hungarian electorate for Mortgage Fraud

When faced with a choice between the end of NATO or World War 3, we're going to pick WWIII. WONDERFUL

So if AI Psychosis is a thing that happens because the human mind breaks when it's trapped by a sycophant who affirms every thought, agrees with every delusion - does this give us a window into what's been happening into the ultra rich , and why they're such broken people?

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

✨ It’s a yes or no question ✨

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

All ICE agents and leadership face the same

Democrats message on ICE should be very simple: they will not fund Trump’s war on the American people. They will not fund a lawless assault on our cities, our neighbors or our rights. They will not fund the murder of legal observers. Instead, we get this horseshit.

Are we?

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Don Lemon interviews a Chicago native who is not pleased with the federal takeover.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

What with the specter of the military terrorizing Chicago being an actual possibility, hearing fighter jets boom overhead is no longer merely a nuisance. It's trauma. Time to end the Air & Water Show, or limit it to the actually charming and entertaining stunt pilots, wing-walkers, and such.

Our political media is simply not equipped to handle a situation where the voters were unambiguously wrong in a way which morally implicates the electorate.

The video game industry is in a tough spot. Microsoft’s effort to remake it hasn’t helped. This week @nathangrayson.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to discuss huge Xbox layoffs and how Microsoft’s plan to remake gaming around Game Pass hasn’t panned out. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/285_...

Barred from using Clearview AI, NYC police relied on a marshal in the fire department to run a search that turned up photos of the student at his high school graduation.

We’re releasing the Epstein Files day one. There are no Epstein Files. Here’s video proof nothing happened. Ok we had to edit it. There are no Epstein Files. There are Epstein Files, but the Democrats made them. Why do you care so much about this Epstein guy? What are “Files”?

Elon's ego is so fragile. Imagine spending billions on an AI version of yourself for people to talk to. www.engadget.com/ai/grok-4-re...

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

this is especially important to know about right now as the feds pour tens of billions into detention

This continues to be the worst timeline possible.

The whole "third-term" controversy is just a distraction. Trump is old. He's going to die before that becomes a real problem. All he's doing is disrupting and dividing the opposition as they waste time freaking out about this instead of #signalgate or what Musk is doing in Wisconsin.

Now that everyone's had some quality time with Perks (PERKS!) it's time to do some Knowledge Sharing! Specifically, because I worked on Perks in my own way, I'd love to address a question I get a lot: what the heck do you, Ben Trautman the Overwatch Analyst, do all day? (1/x)

okay so if you are interested you can make it hard for tesla to serve its actual customers by scheduling a bunch of fake test drives tesla.com/drive as of my posting this you do not need to verify your appointment by email or text message, but if you have burners set up already, string them along.

So are we killing these Nazi or...

Finally some good news
