as a trans activist from Kansas, some of the most vehement pro-trans activists in the state are genuinely Christian pastors. the Dems in the State Legislature have way more pro-trans takes than this. he's saying this after my trans activist friends have spent like a week @'ing him. he can do better
Kasey Jackson, a mother in Kansas, went viral this week after sharing her reaction to the news that Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri would no longer be an in-network provider for Affordable Care Act marketplace insurance plans starting next year. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

The fear of AI is that it will create a machine that follows rules so literally, with such brutal utilitarian mentality, that it will do so to an apocalyptic degree. We already have this in society though and it's called German Protestantism.

Remember all the piss-ant, fascist bootlickers that propped up this goon and got rich and empowered by him. They will ultimately denounce him and shrug off their complicity. Most in government and media will give them a pass. Don’t let them.
😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event
Supercut:
Wrote last week on The Rooster about Conman cutting an ad with Amy Acton's estranged mother as his "October surprise."
Well, here it is. Polling on it just went out.
Thinking about how the all white city council only allowed CoreCivic to reopen their concentration camp as long as prisoners were not released into the community. So people who are kidnapped by ICE are released into a completely different city. That was their major concern.
Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."
They finally stopped inventing new types of guys and we have moved on to new types of women you’ve never seen before. Hopefully they diversify from white blonds though.
many centrists are as disdainful of science as MAGA these days. virtually every study on the topic, and there have been many, show that youth programs reduce crime. it's a settled question. this is no different from claiming vaccines are a hoax.
Criminals have been exploiting outdated EBT card technology to steal SNAP benefits from unsuspecting low-income families. Since December 2024, the victims of this theft have had no recourse & federal action to prevent it has largely stalled — for a deeply infuriating reason:
I was going to make a joke about how his autoblock list will end up just blocking people who have never interacted with or mentioned the Head of Trust and Safety to “prevent future harassment” but looks like that’s exactly what he did.
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.
These companies will continue to cause people to kill their self or others. Where is the morality crisis for AI causing real pain and suffering to real human beings?!?
No, but really, outsourcing our own moral discernment to the talking word toaster is not reasonable or ultimately positive for humans so it’s okay.
It is a machine. There’s no mortality to it being used as a machine. You don’t remote lock a guy for cussing out his tractor. What are we doing here?
Cis HRT is opening the door for this kind of shit. Every single ad is about how the women don’t actually hate their husband and it’s just their hormones getting in the way. These freaks want to steal the rights away from women.
Palmer Luckey (founder of military contractor "Palantir"): maybe women should be forcibly injected with oxytocin so they'll "bond with their husbands and end the tragedy of divorce."
Maybe the shoe should go on the other foot and end the insanity of male dominance obsession.
Divide and concur — this radical plan from 1920, for "lasting peace" after WW1, proposed uniting central Europe into 24 wedge-shaped cantons which would radiate out from Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/unionization-of-central-europe/
Call me crazy but maybe the FBI should not give the mentally ill teens it constantly grooms into doing terror plots assault rifles then arrest them on the spot
At 4 a.m. today, Israeli forces raided a five-story building in Al-Tur, East Jerusalem, forced Palestinian families out with barely anything in their hands, and demolished 10 apartments — leaving around 70 Palestinians without their homes.
It is funny (in the joker way, as per usual) how so many people's lives were completely shattered over copyright trolling from companies who treated downloading a song as a capital offense but the moment they could make money on it themselves it instantly stopped being relevant
They hounded Aaron Swartz to death for downloading papers from jstor but society is now supposed to just accept mass theft because this thing can write that TPS report *for* you.

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work.
