Love it. I think I have a new ring tone for my phone 🤣😂

Amplify your people. Ignore them.

[turn trump’s post over] YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS ARE 5 17 45 45 47 47

Blanche had a very different view of that rule when he represented Trump.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

like the previous headline claimed straight up she "inflated her academic record" and she didn't? but when it's trump we gets "critics say" or whatever bsky.app/profile/agen...

I wanted to demonstrate to someone who is using GenAI to "unblur" hidden handles that they.....cannot do this. But also a fun demonstration of how GenAI always returns **ANY** answer instead of returning "ERROR: This software cannot do that" A design choice by greedy little tech goblins

Meanwhile, ABC News properly frames Trump’s desperate campaigning and the Acton situation, making it clear how far over the line the ad is, and showing video from Acton’s campaign (which apparently NBC couldn’t be bothered to find) youtu.be/e0Qjv2Dk1Eo?...

You can't hold me accountable for not anticipating the bad thing that happened just because I was actively ignoring all the people who told me it would happen.

Nothing says rugged independence like a Socialist bailout.

Insane how Russian govt and state media say for years Ukraine's not a real country, gonna take it all, it's so unfair that E. Europeans think they can elect their own leaders, while US leaders (Trump, Rubio) go c'mon, it's just over a bit of land, doesn't Russia deserve something for its aggression.

Fine. Illegal aggression. Fine. War crimes. Fine. Kidnapping children fine. Destroying infrastructure. Fine. Threatening the security of all of Europe. Fine. All of it is fine. As usual with Trump, the criminals are protected, even advocated for. It's the victims who are condemned and abandoned.

ICE has notified me of another death that has occurred in their custody. This is the 59th death under Trump’s second term. We cannot allow this to continue. We need justice for ICE’s abuse, and we must completely eliminate this broken for-profit system.

i keep hearing there is "infinity money" for organizations that want to work on "AI safety" but i can tell you that none of it is going to the organizations that have been working to address AI harms for years. we are all fighting over scraps while new orgs spring up over night with giant budgets

Trump is the one who filed this lawsuit. Now he refuses to participate in discovery while his sons and daughter duck discovery subpoenas.

cartoonists have more vision tha the "visionary" tech companies.

Ukraine actually STOPPED hitting refineries after Trump announced his fake ceasefire, as a show of good faith. Russia kept attacking anyway. And Trump claims Russia is doing “very little” to help Iran, even though multiple officials have testified that Russia is actively helping Iran. 2/2

In other words: “You brown people should be grateful to live in a country where the vice-president calls you weasels in public”

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.

This is exactly the right approach — openly mock the bigots as small-minded and cowardly and weak and proudly embrace diversity as a sign of our strength and success

Ha, for 20 years students have come in the door of my classroom quite aware of their declining prospects and our dying planet, but sure you joyless intellectually sterilized Bush-era op-ed writers, blame it all on English profs who made the kids read Angela Davis

Happy No Kings Day!

huh. what could this posssssssssibly mean. the US media willful professed ignorance on this stuff is increasingly embarrassing. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

whoa... the current map of "No Kings: Vote Early" events planned for tomorrow, sat oct 17: www.nokings.org

If the settlers will do this to an American journalist on camera, in broad daylight, imagine what Palestinian families face when no one is watching. Those responsible for this attack must be held accountable.

Lots of talk about the possibliity that the polls might be wrong. Yes, they might be! But here's what we do know: REPUBLICANS don't think the polls are wrong. Their triaging with money moves makes this absolutely clear. Me and @stevebenen.com on this point: newrepublic.com/article/2166...

Wouldn’t Supreme Court expansion destroy public confidence in the Court, perhaps fatally? If you think that anti-democracy Republicans are the only people who matter, then yes. If value the opinion of Americans who support democracy and rule of law, the opposite. It would raise public confidence.

I returned to the Miramar ICE facility for another surprise oversight visit. While the conditions are still unsafe and unhygienic, it's clear that public pressure is yielding results. I'll keep fighting to rein in this dangerous, unconstitutional abuse of our neighbors.

Susan Collins is concerned that bad things happened after she voted for them.

Holy shit. Rick Jackson didn’t just duck a debate with Keisha Lance Bottoms. He left her debating an empty podium. And the moderator made damn sure everyone knew it. Moderator Jeff Hullinger: “Mayor Bottoms, you may now ask a question to your opponent represented by the empty podium.”

If you are wondering why Anthropic aren't coming out and opposing statements like this, it's because they very genuinely do not care about climate responsibility and will burn absolutely whatever they can get their hands on to keep the grift going. www.capitalbrief.com/article/anth...

It's like if Benghazi was what Republicans pretended it was, but times about 12.

David Brooks pearl-clutching over John Ossoff calling a white nationalist a “white nationalist,” as if the problem with violent white nationalism is people objecting to it, illustrates this point as well as humanly possible.

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.
