The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

This is the thing a lot of people don’t understand about the term “elites” as used by the Right. It *always* just means “you think you’re better than me?!”. That’s why they can conceptualize Presidents as Guys You Can Have A Beer With and Starbucks workers as “elites”. They despise our attempts to..

The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.

This attitude is becoming weirdly common like the way people will post a screenshot of an actor playing a character and then the fictional character in its original appearance next to it, and they’ll be like “what a piece of shit this movie will be” The desire for everything to match is dull.

game company saddles itself with $18 billion debt to saudi arabia, lays off hundreds of employees, sinks beloved IPs, burns through any remaining good faith it had with its player base, all to... *checks notes* develop "an open world football experience" and "invest heavily into apex legends"

Discworld QOTD, from Reaper Man

Instagram does NOT want you to know about this new business model

And even asking the separation question has hurt both Alberta and Canada, economically and reputationally, which is a win for the vile Russian and American campaigns to weaken and divide our country, even if separation is shot down (and especially if the result isn’t an overwhelming repudiation).

This is a child's mentality towards living in a country. If you want to do whatever you want whenever you want, go live in the woods of Alberta away from social services, community support, and healthcare. Absolutely immature nonsense.

You know Beetle Moses has made another banger when it shows up a dozen times on my feed. So here, lemme help that trend keep going.

Today: "Billionaire former dev whose engineering firm has been mismanaged to the point it has to vibe-code a launcher takes offense at AI-critique of popular developer that every developer that started since 2015 or so adores; Elon Musk gets involved to support the side that is obviously wrong."

the answer is that he directly pays influential organs of european and american conservative opinion

The level of betrayal Republicans have demonstrated toward both Ukraine and the United States is monumentally evil.

Tbh everyone likes doing the “oh hahaha they claim they’re not assimilating but they’re rioting like the French” bit kinda needs to get that the rules in France are that you’re allowed to riot for odious right wing policies but everything else is hooliganism

Racists always understand absolutely nothing about history. France invented public rioting in the modern world, and exported it to its colonies.

I cannot get past these guys thinking that fucking FRANCE had to import the notion that you could go on the streets and break shit if you were mad at the government, or that France has not been accepting people not born there for centuries.

Yep. The number one goal of almost every business leader around the world is to bring slavery back. That's what this is all about. They hate people for demanding rights, so now they are trying to replace people with "ethical" slaves. Ethical is in quotations because it's not factual.

Wonder how much it cost Tesla to put this totally impractical stunt together...and remember this when the right complains about government waste...

Jan is a chief CBS reporter. She tweeted this about Tommy, the Republican operative accusing Abdul El-Sayed of terrorism, then deleted it. Zero questions about Tommy declaring he wants the Bible to supersede the Constitution. We need independent media. Join: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

Well, you can't expect a random reporter to understand the Constitution. I mean, it's not like she's CBS's chief *legal* correspond-- (finger to earpiece). Oh. Oh no. OK, yeah, that's bad.

Misinformation Alert!! Interesting Read. Spread the word: Texas Senate Race: The Guardian: Key player in false rumors of Dem. Senate Candidate for Texas, James Talarico, has history of online posts invoking Nazi Germany. Link: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Relying heavily on some mix of codev and contractors is nothing new in aaa. What’s new here is trying to characterize it in this way. I feel like the little guy disease is metastasizing. Power just constantly refusing to admit it is power.

I’m sorry but this “core team” stuff has reached a level of absurdity. You can’t say this shit about a game that used hundreds of contractors.

failure to learn this lesson does not make you a bold, optimistic innovator, it makes you a fucking idiot

Seeing a lot of people call Biddy Blas a Glup Shitto, but he's only a blorbo right now. He has to show up in a second piece of media with the expectation that you already know who he is. THEN he's a Glup Shitto.

Talking about police officer quantity is pointless without first addressing police officer quality and the community's overall theory of policing. "We just need more cops" is the laziest, most harmful approach possible.

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

As a Muslim who has been accused of dual loyalty and asked to denounce everything from ISIS to the Iranian state, I breathed a sigh of relief that I think I’d been holding in for like two decades watching this.

Nobody hates free speech more than the fascist tech oligarchs who claimed to care about it more than anyone. What an absolute joke. P.S. they also hate democracy. As we hand them control of the country. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Where's #Mythbusters when you need them?

at what point does someone like Musk become a combatant in a conflict. essentially a Prigozhin figure.

i needed to sign a permission slip for my kids to be allowed to take ibuprofen at school

A US lawmaker has announced plans to introduce a new bill that would give gamers ownership of the games they buy 🎮 The Power To The Players Act would require publishers to make games playable offline before shutting down their servers

Wiles has run the Office of the President better than Trump could ever have hoped for. Her skillset is known, understood, and essential. What her rumored replacements have in common is that they are men who are willing to betray their country for Trump. I don't think it more complicated than that.

Time to get ready for Halloween!

This is a great thread, which also confirms a lot of my suspicions about the original tech demo. At the end of the day, the "Flying Car" is just a pretty good, very expensive circus trick.

we're talking about a car for people to drive! If this was unveiled as, like, "the newest imagineering tech for our back to the future stunt show" maybe Hern would have a point!

Even in the year 2026, with so many potential entries, this is somehow the most pathetic thing I've seen all year.
