They’re not alleging fraud or misconduct. They’re preemptively suing to block certification based on an outcome they haven’t accepted yet. It’s no longer a hypothetical talking point. The Justice Department is officially Trump’s election interference machine.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Neoliberalism is failing, but what is it? This is a new version of our infographic on neoliberalism. AI drew the image. I wrote the text.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

So the rest of you are now joining us in wishing the Jays had won the World Series, huh? No chance they'd have gone to the White House!

Will there be any more football this evening?

Ironic that the 'halftime show' features muppets...

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

It appears that, just like the algae, the National Guard are reproducing by mitosis!!

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

Nick Timothy is an uncannily perfect encapsulation of the crapification of public life in the UK: a bigoted failure blithely oozing from one disaster to the next while being rewarded at every turn by the far right media/political ecosystem. A golf club boor with the intellect of a burst balloon.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

"AI" is a misleading term, given there's no intelligence in these systems, artificial or otherwise. I propose a more accurate term: Pseudo-Intelligent Stochastic Systems. 😉

Yep. Also, Grok is being anthropomorphized, so Musk's name is not in the headlines.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

Collegiate and collegial are different words that mean different things.

Ever noticed the exact date immigration went from noble pioneers heroically setting out to weave their story's thread into the vibrant tapestry of a new nation to a vile invasion by unwashed savages looking to mooch off our golden birthright tends to be the day after the speaker's ancestors arrived?

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Once again, if you are pointing to a mob and arguing that their violence is a justification for doing what you want, it’s your mob and your violence.

I don't know who made this but 10/10.

"Daddy, what did you do in the beforefore?" "Well sweetie, we just wandered around in ever increasing circles until we found somewhere we wanted to stop."

This is what heroes sound like. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Telegraph is now having to publish so many corrections to articles where it attempts to find *any angle whatsoever* to attack net-zero polices that it makes sense to start tracking them here. These are the ones published since Labour won the election. "We are happy to correct the record."

So there are mayors who now control budgets of tens of millions of pounds because they were wanted by 7%, 10%, or 13% of citizens, and an MP legislating for our country because she was wanted by 18% of citizens.

Elbows up, Canada.
