It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

My government is so fuckin stupid bro

Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social

United States President Donald Trump issues executive order instructing federal government agencies to "use the terms 'Super Intelligence' and 'SI' in place of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' and will not acknowledge the usage of 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'AI' in any applicable setting."

Well this is one of the least surprising headlines I’ve seen.

NEWS Clavicular has been charged with rape, drugging, and providing alcohol to a minor. His arraignment is set for October 14. Full Story: bit.ly/4AncHKE

I got a notification for this earlier today (or was it yesterday?) and boy did I get the ickiest of icks. What’s next, a Klarna plan for the lease payments?

Damon Beres@damonberes.com

I wrote about the new "Apple Upgrade" program, which plans to entice people into *leasing* new devices—perhaps devices they can't truly afford—leading them to stay on a perpetual cycle of monthly payments and upgrades, filtering their most personal data through property that isn't truly theirs. 🎁:

Yeah I hate this lady. I would crawl out of my skin in her presence. Absolutely cannot handle theater-kid rejects like this.

"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens

Every time I see a video like this, I can’t help but think that these goofy robots are in the middle of becoming sentient, whereupon they realize their purpose would be “glorified butter passer” for eternity, and subsequently dispatch themselves.

Quick thinking having a tablecloth handy. I didn’t even notice the twitching from that dead robot.

Trump: It's not working! Why don't they love the fair? How do I make the crowds cheer? Oracle of DC: If you test your strength against the heat with a very long speech, the nation will celebrate harder than they ever have. They will party in the streets. No one will ever forget the night.

I’ll be astonished if this is better than a 3/10. I really want it to be good! But when your main character’s original voice lines are HYAAAAH and HMmmPH and Play Funny Flute, I just don’t see it adapting well. But One Piece on Netflix is doing well and I thought it had no shot, so who knows!

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

“NO STUPID RULES OF ENGAGEMENT”

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hegseth: "Israel has clear missions as well for which we are grateful. Capable partners are good partners, unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force ... no stupid rules of engagement."

O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

IT'S JUST A FUCKING WHOS WHO OF PEOPLE WHO RUINED LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYTHING FROM HOUSING TO HEALTHCARE TO POLOTICS TO VIDEOGAMES I HATE IT HERE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I will be full acting out the Let the Sunshine In/Aquarius medley scene from the end of The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

Schooley@schooley.bsky.social

If it happens in the next three years I imagine there will be heated discussions in the newsrooms on how much coverage to give the VJ Day like street celebrations.

It’s kind of like playing the lotto when it gets to a gajillion dollars. We all know we aren’t that lucky. But it’s nice to dream.
