If ever you needed a sign of an economic bubble, OpenAI shifting towards porn in a desperate bid for revenue is that sign.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

We should ask Virginia Giuffre if she was one of the spa employees Trump was mad about Epstein taking. Oh we can't, why not? Sure was hit by a bus in March‽ That's an awful way to die. Oh, that didn't kill her? So ask her. Oh, a month later she Epsteined herself? What in the Clintons is going on?🤔

"What is it like to be a teen right now?" Young artists explored that question for two different exhibitions of their work this summer. But on the National Mall, their work was deemed too political.

Here's a little Rhinoceros Dung Beetle (Oxysternon conspicillatum) face to brighten your day! 📷 desertnaturalist on iNaturalist 📍 Colombia 🔗: www.inaturalist.org/observations... #ObservationOfTheDay

Read this. It's important to not let the official distract you from actual documented history.

Been trying to put into words how I feel about the SLC disaster and as usual bad man Karl has a great take. Read his short thread.

Strong probability these aren't ICE at all, just criminals conducting a kidnapping in broad daylight. They don't move or sound like they have any official recent LEO training. Nobody is wearing armor either. AZ tags on the truck as well.

Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day

ICE pulling guns on protesters after #NoKingsProtest

It is 107 degrees outside, but that is not deterring folks from coming out to Tempe for another protest against the Trump admin (and there are more scheduled tonight)

I told you we’d be back

Liberals fear that if people act unruly, Trump will be able to impose totalitarian control. That gets things backwards. Trump is already imposing totalitarian control. That's what is driving people into the streets. It's too late to avoid this fight. We can be passive and lose—or give it our all.

Looks like the bone spurs are back, but not sure he'll be able to avoid the Civil War he's cooking up.

Worth the read. Hesitation and lack of information are always the main contributors to negative outcomes in volatile situations.

Both police and Gavin Newsom with a straight face push conspiracy theories of "professional protesters" who "go from one unrest to the other," while hundreds of literal military troops are being shipped into a city to shoot weapons at working-class people standing up for their neighbors.

This is 100% accurate, every time:

I picked a hell of a week to rewatch Civil War

Fuck ICE Victory to the rebels And remember that the only people "doing what the state hopes we do" are the people trying to discredit a diversity of tactics.

there is no rioting. nobody is looting. Nobody is burning random stuff down. This is just americans rising up to protect their neighbors from the ICE brownshirts.

If every memory of my childhood was condensed into a single image, it would be this.

This cancer has a very low prognosis (15% 5yr survival rate) and dude was already mid 70s when diagnosed. He should have stepped down immediately, much less sidelining AOC on the oversight committee. Term limits would solve these problems. Even if 6 terms in Congress, he'd've been out 5 years ago

Luigi was a mercy compared to what that CEO really deserved

It's always "human businessman predicts AI takeover in 6 months" never "AI says it's ready for primetime." The former is only true when the latter no longer causes an eye roll.

US politics are simple, we get to choose between good cop, bad cop in an ACAB world.

The cartoonish-looking salamanders have faced an uncertain future in the wild. But researchers hope that breeding axolotls in captivity and releasing them in the wild can help their numbers.

There are only two types of autistics: woke leftists and special ops. RFK Jr is going to make himself a meme at this rate

Y'all still want to reform from the inside or you ready to have the abolition talk yet?

Starvation and the threat of starvation are the quickest ways to autocracy. I grew up as an ardent environmentalist and it has taken me a long time to extract the misanthropy. Any solutions that can't feed everyone are eugenics hiding in cottage core.

The fact this even was on the chopping block would have had any other politicians accused of treason and declared a that to national security

I have decided to stop punching you in the face. All hail me for ending the violence. -obliquely referencing literally every current affair today-

What was Booker filibusting? Which resolution specifically? Or was this literally the definition of performative action?

I've been saying he acts like Mao, thinks he's Stalin, but ultimately is going to be Trotsky'd 😅

There used to be a time that having holes in your underwear was a sign you didn't have much money (or were detrimentally frugal). Now it just means you've washed your clothes twice.

So why isn't this talked about more. Individual income tax makes up 50% of US tax revenue, to the tune of $2.5 BILLION! Payroll tax (SSA, Medicare, unempl) is 40% and that comes from our individual wages too. Fuck effective rates, corps pay only 10% into the system. Are they only 10% of US wealth?
