really on tenterhooks here waiting to hear which person will continue to commit genocide against the palestinian people. is it going to be the center-left genocidaire? the center-right genocaire? or maybe it'll be genocidal continuity with bibi. so exciting.

this doesn't go close to far enough. the internationalization of fascism via social media is the most important negative factor on the potential forward momentum of our species. it is an international fight that respects no borders.

Dan Mauler 🎃@meelar.bsky.social

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

this is the good answer of a good person. kansas, do the right thing and put #adamhamilton into the senate. morals matter. virtue matters. hate must lose. #transrightsarehumanrights

BeshearStan@beshearstan.bsky.social

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

the thing about yglesias is that he's always been awful. the radical nature of what we call centrism in the US is just obscene. these are the monsters. these are the extreme.

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

the irony here is that the first joke that was stolen by AI is based on a joke by olivia carter, who herself stole an emo philips joke (about not being able to get good bagels in germany, an all time great joke) and made it shittier. than AI came along and made it even worse. human-AI-centipede.

KetAnthropic JoshAI@ketanjoshi.co

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

yes there is. the dems will have a chance to do something about this. whether or not they pass a piece of legislation outlawing these kind of contributions (and ignorning buckley and citizens united by packing the court) is the only way we save this democracy.

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

how is it that @theguardian.com has NOTHING on the itv doc of reform being a bunch of monsters? NOTHING? that's the "left" journalistic enterprise in the UK. absolutely pathetic. what a bunch of losers the UK media are, and kudos to ITV for breaking through the miasma.

i think going forward we (the question of who "we" are is ummm, somewhat complicated) need to treat data centers that push out hate-creating bots as an enemy that must be destroyed.

My favorite part of Zelenskyy destroying those Russian servers, a lot of the bitcoin and cryptocurrency being used to pay these evil people ripping apart society at the seams is now all gone The Epstein class lost a chunk of their money laundering and bribery funds.

i'm shocked that rogansphere veteran shane gillis is a misogynist ass. shocked.

Liz Renzetti@lizrenzetti.bsky.social

Dan Levy doing what more men should do -- calling out Shane Gillis's misogyny. This is the top story on Variety right now, alongside a report on Russell Brand's rape trial beginning. In case we're still wondering why women are angry variety.com/2026/tv/news...

and this is exactly why leftist publications like @thenation.com who covered for trump's being influenced and helped by russia make them unreadable now and forever. Trump's always been in russia's sway, and to deny it is to deny reality. and here we are.

James O’Brien@mrjamesob.bsky.social

Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…

i've been riding these since the year they were introduced. fave Citibike story: Anna Wintour once got mad at me for having been too sweaty after riding a Citibike to her office (we were colleagues at the time) in the pre-electric days.

the students in france should be a lesson to students and gen z and alphas everywhere: you have power. you have leverage. you need to start using it, not on tiktok or snapchat, but in the real world. Boomers have taken everything, and if you want to wrest it back this is how you fight.

now that the court filings have been made public around andrew tate, i want ANYONE WHO EVER CONSORTED WITH HIM to be asked about him over and over. hard as it is to believe, his abuse and CASM behavior (NOT MATERIAL, BUT BEHAVIOR) is astounding. it's epstein level. so to every right wing scumbag who

either said nice things about him (farage for instance) but also the trump family via barron, but every public figure of any sort, read this stuff to them. make them hear it. it is so vile i can't even give you the precis version. a total monster. rot in jail forever you utter scum.

so @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social chose to platform suella braverman and let her spout actual nazi ideas. just disgusting behavio(u)r all around. she should be shunned and if you see her on the street you should spit on the ground in front of her and turn your head as you walk past her.

Dear Suella Braverman, Here are the criteria the Nazis used for people to be considered "German". You are now using similar fascist criteria to define those who can be considered "English".

just had a chat with an Iranian emigre nurse here in London. He pointed out that a) the shah was bad but life was ok under him for many people b) the mullahs are terrible and a nightmare who c) did kill tens of thousands of protestors and generally do everything as evilly as possible and d) trump

doesn't care about the iranian people at all, and that e) american bombs kill iranians indiscriminately, which in turn means that if you are average iranian trying to live a nice non-religious non-geopolitics life, you are pretty much fucked. not that we all don't know this, but still hard to hear.

so excited to read this book, and the excerpt from New York mag is outstanding. My Beck story: I moved to LA in 1991, and joined many of my Vassar friends in making that move. One of them, Mario, lived in silverlake and had a house with a backyard where we would all hang out. he had a friend from 1/

This post is unavailable.

LA named Beck, who would be at these gatherings with his guitar and a boombox, playing beats and "singing" weird poetry while playing guitar, poorly. super nice person, but not really someone I rated as going to make it in our group of artist strivers. so imagine my surprise when two years later 2/

KROQ is playing in my car and Jed the Fish says "new song from LA's own Beck, here's Loser" and IT WAS A FUCKING BANGER. then i found Beercan, still to me the quintessential Beck song, and i was in love for life. truly a weird and unique genius. (Mario can be seen in the video for loser btw)

the US has some of the stupidest humans imaginable in positions of power. seems germane to point out what with (gestures broadly at everything)

Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

the bbc needs to be root and branched. it is not fit for purpose in these times. burnham needs levenson II and a complete overhaul of BBC leadership or he will fail as a leader.

BBC report fails to mention "Tommo" slashing a dinghy (!) Not beating the Reform Party propaganda allegations www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

there are two kinds of people: those that lie about AI's capabilities, using the threat of the human race being destroyed to fill their bags. those people are full of crap. don't believe them. there is no AGI and there won't be any soon. AI is just a tool, good for some things and terrible for 1/

The people running these companies believe that climate change could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a fringe worry. Publicly, many executives soften their language to sound reasonable, but privately, the fear is real. No other industry poses this level of danger to civilization.

others. then there are people who say that climate change is going to create mass devastation and death for us all. they are not lying. listen to them. do what they say needs to be done. this is the assignment of the 2020s. we have three years to get our shit together.

Talarico might want to listen up. this is how it is done. this man is going to be the best D senator in a long long time.

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

to be a republican is to hate children. hate the future. hate humanity. it is an anti-human political party, the most dangerous group of humans on the planet. it must be stopped at all costs for us to survive as a species.

Scoop: The EPA is expected to formally rescind carbon pollution standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants as soon as Monday, according to people familiar with the matter. Tag team with @bloomberg.com’s Ari Natter and Jen Dlouhy. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

so #911memories for me: the bravest person i can think of in post 9/11 war mongering, fear mongering, islamaphobia promoting america was David Rees. his cartoon @getyourwaron.bsky.social was a voice of sanity in an insane world, and it was pretty much alone in the culture. i had the chance in my

seeing this, all i can think is how horrible it must be to be bill ackman, or any one of the endless parade of asshats who prejudged this man for absurd reasons having NOTHING to do with whether or not he would be a great mayor. choke on the fumes, guys. choke on em

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

1) that academia is biased, or 2) that smarter people are drawn to liberal or left wing views by dint of their better education and reading. and the algo may well be biased against people who read/critically think, so you know, maybe JUST MAYBE BEING CONSERVATIVE IS A SIGN OF UMMM BEING NOT SMART

you know, I think there's a chance for the ellisons to take another look at the main character of Downfall, who may have had a "gray area" that somehow we've overlooked. directed, of course, by brett ratner.

The A.V. Club@avclub.com

The film, which stars Johnny Depp, will try to find the "gray area" in A Christmas Carol. www.avclub.com/scrooge-gray...

i would call us a joke of a country, but if we are it's like a joke told by tony hinchcliffe to a room of morons in austin.
