Professional Asstalker Matt Yglesias doesnt realize that we all actually live a closed and interconnected world.

Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected

There are few things that so perfectly represent the capitalist mode of production as generative AI. It’s theft. It’s plagiarism. It’s an attack on labor. It destroys the environment. It produces junk. It’s harmful to consume. It concentrates wealth. In short, it’s a catastrophe for society.

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

Americans still don’t understand that the Constitution ended January 6, 2021, when the mob exerted force against the government and the government did…nothing. Now you have masked secret police disappearing and killing without warrant or due process. What comes next, I wonder?

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Trump says he ordered the Justice Department lawsuit over Alaska's US Senate race: 'I'm the one that said do it.'

The Blue Maga folks are already preparing us for all of the nothing they will do.

Actually, positive change is slow, difficult and incremental by nature. Destroying is fast, building is slow. It is easy to bring misery to people - any idiot can do it, as Trump shows - but very hard to improve their conditions. Building a better society is slow, careful, patient work.

This post in particular is really telling. It's saying - don't expect Democrats to simply right the wrongs. What Republicans take away in 4 years you must expect to spend 20 years to restore, fighting Democrats the whole way.

The protests have spread to Serbia. That is Spain France Italy Albania Greece Turkey India Indonesia all protesting at the same time. It's time to force the billionaires out of power.

im no big money political consultant or anything but im not sure “children lie about being raped for attention” is the most compelling midterm closing message for republicans

DSA was out organizing people in resistance to Trump in early 2025 while Gavin Newsom was going on Charlie Kirk’s podcast and Democrats were insisting we couldn’t talk about immigration and people being kidnapped. It’s not hard to figure out why DSA has gained so much momentum.

America, in 13 days, VOTE. But prepare for that vote to be ignored. The White House is fortified. Masked secret police kill and disappear people without accountability. Loyalists control the chain of command. And a president who tried to overturn an election learned there were no consequences.

BREAKING: Jared and Ivanka reportedly might move to Israel if Democrats win Congress to hide from subpoenas over scheming with Netanyahu outside the State Department to level Gaza, sabotage the Iran negotiations, and commit the US to the Iran War while profiteering from all 3.

I saw a video of a man with his head blown off by Israel in Gaza today a few hours ago. You probably won't hear about it on your news. Just another Israeli war crime during a 'ceasefire' Another murdered Palestinian Israel is an evil racist terrorist state committing genocide & ethnic cleansing.

Iran decimated several US bases in the middle east and destroyed US logistics and supply chains. You won't find that information on US network. Watch French 24 news, or BBC or FirstPost which gives you accurate information about Trump's war. Trump lost the war, & he’s going to lose the midterms too.

I've seen so many #TTRPG professionals dance around this, but MAGA people are absolute twats who don't deserve any respect, support, or understanding. They are Nazis. You gain nothing from giving them the benefit of the doubt, and accepting them in your community is a loss for that community.

A Gnome reposted

The media with one voice: The violence coming out of France is terrible and must be countered and halted immediately using all possible force The same media with one voice: Ignore the genocide going on in Gaza right now, violence is good.

I love how Sweeney is set off by something that doesn't reference him or his company, just "slop." And Sweeney is like, "YOU HATE MY SLOP!? HOW DARE YOU!" And if you were unsure you were on the right track or not, Elon shows up and confirms your belief by siding with slop. Hysterical.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

A Gnome reposted

theres this idea in the media that if netanyahu loses his election that israel is going to become acceptable to support again, as he is singularly the problem. but if you look into the election you find out every single opposition party is casting him as "too weak on palestine"

Anyway, what was that you were saying about Tom Morello leaving his ballot blank in a safe blue state?

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

The reason these #AI companies are drumming up security concerns about their own products is they've realized the IPOs they've set up are going to fail spectacularly, and the only way forward for them is to have their government buddies step in to "regulate" them so they can keep the grift going.

People keep having to be reminded that social media platforms are not free public spaces but corporations in the hands of mostly right-wing billionaires with an agenda.

The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels. Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

No. You’ve been a Christofascist dictatorship for almost 2 years now. Vote, but be ready for if that vote somehow fails to change anything. Because I have a near-impossible time seeing how power is peacefully handed off when the Dems sweep everything.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Good fucking luck America. I, for one, don't see this ending well.

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."

You'll find in a fascist state (like the one you're in) laws only exist to further fascism or destroy people that oppose fascism. It serves no other purpose.

Wonder why Schumer and Jeffries are so quiet? You're about 17 days from just straight-up disappearances, and they know it.
