no amnesty

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

i personally don't believe you have to smile to look stylish. for instance: IG charlie_the_griffon

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

As if the child was ordered like a fast food item and the parent is allowed to be upset that it wasn't made properly.

As with anti-divorce arguments, the underlying premise here is that any explicit break in the family is a grave moral violation. And the underlying premise *there* is that some family members get to be immune to consequence, and others are prevented from complaint. Imagine defending that!

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.

these kids have the look, the affect and the disposition of stereotypical, out of the movies, religious terrorists. failure to stop this is actually dangerous to jews worldwide

strategic political capture of the court has, for 40 years, been a one-way ratchet. among other things, this has inculcated a sense among conservatives that they can act with virtual impunity. showing them that their opponents will play hardball is a necessary first step toward a better status quo.

"It’s generally illegal for executive branch officials to play a role in awarding contracts that would have a direct impact on their own finances..." www.propublica.org/article/geor...

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

Not only no culture, but no *commons*. The dependency on the capitalist overlords will be complete, because you can’t ask for help or context from others when there is no common frame of reference. This has already happened in coding, the first space where they destroyed the commons we’d all built.

You NEED to understand that this is happening in America. It’s the intentional plan of a vile white supremacist in the White House, who sees this as an opportunity to finally torture and expel all the nonwhite people he hates.

This is clearly not acceptable

The Hague is far too good for Stephen Miller

He is explicitly calling for pogroms. (I ask again: at what point will our major news organizations finally acknowledge that he is either mentally ill or a vile racist or both?)

WHOA. This is big news. Mr. Soliman is a 31-year-old gay man from Egypt who came here at 3 with a green card. He lost his green card after a conviction, but an immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's locked in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea now.

Universities bring in foreign students ... to undercut the wages of American residents? What? This is exactly backwards. Foreign students subsidize the tuition of American students. I wonder why the VP who follows Nazis online has this all wrong. Probably an innocent, non-racist mistake.

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

who on his what

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

WASHINGTON (AP) — DC judge permanently dismisses case charging ex-Olympian with vandalizing Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Tech industry is laser focused on solving the problem of humans enjoying each other’s company bsky.app/profile/down...

This stuff just seems crazy. Like everyone has lost their marbles. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

FIFTH REPORT: CHILDREN HARMED AT ALPHA SCHOOL'S BOOT CAMP Just over a week ago, 73 Alpha School high school students were left almost entirely unsupervised for three days in the Texas wilderness. It was a Fyre Festival-like disaster. buildcognitiveresonance.substack.com/p/fifth-repo...

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

ChatGPT provided the shooter instructions on how to avoid OpenAI’s moderation and advice on mass killing, right up until the morning of the shooting itself when the shooter asked what time of day school shootings tend to occur. OpenAI must answer for what it enabled. disconnect.blog/the-media-ha...

Eliezer Yudkowsky did quite literally come out and say that he wrote Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality as a "good way to recruit International Mathematical Olympiadists" (who are teenagers, a group that, in 2010, one could safely assume had read Harry Potter). hpmor.com/notes/119/

The immensely politically influential Eliezer Yudkowsky believes that nuclear war is better than letting AI get too smart - and hey, it’ll all work out for humanity if we make sure a small “reproductive population” survives the cleansing fire. Cool! Normal!

i think you can fairly say that the second trump administration is the most racist federal administration since woodrow wilson and honestly i'm not sure that it isn't more racist than wilson's

This is a fairly insane thing to say, and only somebody up to their eyes in the tech field could think that "developing your own software" is analogous to taking pictures on your phone.

The family of a 37-year-old woman who died while pregnant filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and others, alleging state law prevented her from getting a potentially life-saving abortion.

AI doom or not, something has shifted with AI recently. The guardrails that kept AI sitting in a chatbox are gone, the models are better, there's more compute. AI agents are everywhere. They are annoying as hell. IMO the situation is going to get much worse www.404media.co/theres-a-100...

The argument seems to be more that “these tools will help normal people build stuff that they can make money off of,” but where’s the evidence that this is happening? People ARE using LLMs to code Stuff, often quite cool stuff - but is this making them money? Idk?

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

A lot of people asking me how this isn't the New InfoWars and guess what maybe it is?
