If the fascists were confident they could overturn elections they wouldn't be spending so much money on them. If your vote didn't count, they wouldn't be trying to convince you it won't count. If the results won't matter, they wouldn't be trying to do everything they're doing right now.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

I know it's cheating to make predictions for the year 10.5 months in. But I think Putin's going to make a desperate move after Trump, despite his best effort, loses Congress in the midterms, and his admin will screw over Europe to help Putin. Then Israel will screw over everyone left standing.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

Incoming message from your tech overlords: 6.1 is a higher number than 5.5! Do not think too hard about this. Consult your preferred word guessing machine for guidance. Do not look at the axis labels of the graph.

High school students in France are currently burning down their classrooms over air conditioning. Americans having their homes made uninhabitable by data centers are complaining to YouTubers who have dragged AOC or Bernie along to talk to them about what future legislation might help years late.

If you hit a dog, it's animal abuse. If you hit your spouse, it's spousal abuse. If you hit an old person, it's elder abuse. If you hit your child, it's just called parenting. That needs to end Children are not property and have the right not to be beaten.

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

Ok I've seen enough. The ai guys are in a millenarian apocalyptic cult. They convinced themselves they were too smart for religion and then looped right around into creating a machine god. No more to it than that.

I was thinking about restarting my Netflix sub for Cyberpunk Edgerunners season 2 but... no, I think I'm good. Netflix can fuck right off.

Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’. The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

Reagan Myth #3,097 Reagan liked to think of himself as a "small government" president. He even had cute little sayings mocking the government. And this is how most Republicans still remember him. But there were more federal employees when he left office than when he was inaugurated.

The problem that liberal centrists and the progressive left have isn't Woke 1.0 being crazy, it's in poor branding and communication. We give things buzzwords that allows the right to pounce all over them.

We need to stop having policy discussions ripped verbatim from a protest sign slogan. The policy proposals aren't bad, but the slogans don't adequately describe what's being talked about, then someone can say, "they're crazy, they want no police funding for anything."

When we want cops to stop being militarized or have accountability or just stop murdering black & brown people, we say "defund the police" but what's really meant is fund social services, or why does a small town in Iowa need a tank, or can we get some regulation on police training and hiring, etc.

Part of me expects a rug pull on leftist victories at the ballot box... that maybe it's part of a larger scheme where they say "if we were rigging the elections, if we could control the outcomes, wouldn't we have stopped those socialists from winning their primaries?"
