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.
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
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.
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.
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.
if you want to commit mass murder in the USA, just use a truck. you'll be released right away. (does this woman need a truck at all? who knows, but i would bet not) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
yes @elienyc.bsky.social sonic youth had a song about this: Youth against Fascism. it's a banger. the right goes on.
Not talking to your shitty parents appears to be working
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.

youtu.be/oJAXNj_1slc?... once again turning to the great mike davis "Make your home in Malibu, and you eventually will face the flames." do we have to pay AGAIN to fix the electric and rebuild the homes for people who chose to live in a place about which that was written in 1995?
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.
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.
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.

further to my previous post about alleged mass human trafficker, CASM creator and purveyor and all around monster Andrew Tate, here is an excellent summary that you should watch every second of. youtu.be/U9yl5z7_bEg?...
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
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".

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/
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.
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
career to hire david to write a project for me called Codefellas youtu.be/RA_nM1k5B2g?... which he knocked out of the park. truly a special human being and a hero of mine. sadly, he isn't on Bluesky as far as i can tell. but david, thank you for helping me never forget.
the new Elephant Graveyard video is outstanding, and savage. Peter Thiel, Joe Rogan, Jeffrey Epstein, and you! those are your cast of characters. and just when you thought there wasn't any new insight about epstein to be had... youtu.be/wn9pQb4ukBo?...
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
youtu.be/rdcjQyESJwE?... so it turns out that trying to get the algo to create slop for left wing consumption doesn't work. but doing the same for right wing consumption works great. there is a parallel: how so many PhDs hold liberal or leftist views. one can draw two conclusions from this:
so james orr is a professor of ethics at cambridge, seen on video here doing dirty deeds for farage and reform. not fired. jason arday on the other hand was removed by cambridge with haste. funny world. youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI?...
i look forward to @mcuban.bsky.social eating some crow on Pablo Torre's show. i assume it'll be the next episode.
This is the full list of penalties the Clippers we're hit with in the Kawhi Leonard investigation. It's a very long list. They got hammered

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