I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

GOLDMAN: “.. we are starting to see clearer signs that the AI impact is spreading beyond the technology sector. .. the share of US firms that have adopted AI in regular business functions now shows a statistically significant negative correlation with employment growth ..”

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Trump supporters delight in Trump’s cruelty, of course, but they also engage in their own vile speech and actions as a virtual initiation rite into the MAGA movement — it’s the way that they demonstrate that they have the "courage" necessary to take on the left. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

In 1776, we said no to tyranny by the British government. 250 years later, we need to go back to our revolutionary roots and say no to tyranny by big tech and AI.

Imagine thinking you're a messenger for Jesus Christ and that his message was "do not help the weak and less fortunate"

what a piece of shit.

We need ads that are a montage of Trump administration fuckups punctuated with JD Vance asking people if they've said thank you

Daniel Pemberton and David Byrne wrote a song about Elon Musk for Alex Gibney's documentary. TikTok took it down and canceled the entire account for the film. So Pemberton encouraged those of us lucky enough to see him perform today to share it. youtu.be/WAvdN-JSUFU?...

Ossoff: "Tech titans dig bunkers while warning us the AI they're creating risks human extinction. Meanwhile, our Congress debates youth sports and the president builds a ballroom ... I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become"

Dear rest of the world, If you want to know why the US elected Trump given all the things you know about him, the reason is that America has tens of millions of people as ignorant as this. We just aren't a very smart country as a whole. bsky.app/profile/atru...

rookie mistake she should have said they were SI generated

This also would demonstrate the difference between the two sides in the argument (if a difference exists), that for one evidence precedes opinions, and for the other identity precedes opinions.

Mamdani: "What you could see in the videos is bystanders outside unsure as to what they were even seeing. Because in that imagery, it feels as if you’re almost looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who’s purportedly representing a federal agency."

They think we’re all idiots As Jon Stewart says — if the goal is guaranteed income and jobs, why wait? Why is it only “socialism” if we don’t hand them trillions of dollars first?

Ossoff: "They've unleashed federal agents to kill Americans on the streets of our cities with impunity. That's Mike Collins's immigration policy. And that's what you'd expect from the bigot congressman who called for executed immigrants by throwing to their deaths out of helicopters."

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

nationalize everything Elon Musk owns.

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

El-Sayed: "When Mike Rogers was in Congress, he literally told somebody from the stand, 'If you don't know your privacy is being violated, is it really being violated?' It's like the peeping tom vote you're going after."

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

Holy shit.

Pope Leo to Artists; “We live in the age of search engines that offer us thousands of instantaneous answers. Yet, no matter how powerful they may be, they merely return what already exists and tend to give us what we already want.”

Executing prisoners is not a legitimate power of government, despite its long and barbaric history, and we should put an end to it. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

great piece. man social media is a cancer themomoftheyear.substack.com/p/im-the-mom...

If you want a good, clear AI explainer to share with friends and family, this from Chis Hayes is the best I've seen: youtu.be/m7ZbUIjlcZs...

Once again, this was how the Economist characterized the American economy on Election Day in 2024. We had a country on the brink of stunning success, but the Republicans knee-capped it with trade wars and real wars of their own choosing.

🔥 @Hamilton4Kansas ends his senate debate against @RogerMarshallMD (who has poor people arrested for not affording bills after pregnancies) with a ‘WIZARD OF OZ’ analogy that sums up Republicans in Washington perfectly

Ossoff: While the world burns and you pay more for everything—your tax dollars become the royal family's wealth. Because it pays to be a Trump, especially when the whole world knows daddy's a crook

Seen a lot of these, but this one is my favourite 😎

I have seen it all: A UMC pastor leading a Wizard of Oz-themed call-and-response with the crowd during a Senate debate at the Kansas State Fair. Democratic nominee Adam Hamilton has the juice

Stop stop stop treating this $5k check thing like it’s real. It’s just…not.

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

Millions of people rely on the information they obtain via a search engine corporation which just proved it would alter digital reality if instructed to do so by those in political power. That’s some crazy shit, Google.

El-Sayed: I thought you were for the everyday man. If you're for billionaires, you and I disagree. Watters: I just think I have the right to the fruits of my own labor El-Sayed: Billionaires don't make their money off of their labor. They make their money off their money

I mean they already did that w/Trump v. US. BUT it really is time to raise the stakes of this politically. Stop treating Hakeem Jeffries as the enemy and start making it clear that John Roberts is cheating.

"Here’s the basic problem: AI has arrived in American life and communities across the country as a giant turd mountain. No one wants it; it makes everything worse when it arrives; and it’s been pushed and backed and cheerled by the absolute worst people in modern American life."

The most important climate action you can take isn’t obsessing over your individual carbon footprint. We need to change the system so the easiest, most affordable choice for everyone is also the best choice. How do we change a system? It starts with your voice!

BOSTON…😕 ✈️

Incredible stuff from Cards Against Humanity, who is now building a monument to interfere with SpaceX.

🔥 TEXAS: “Registered voters in Tarrant County has increased 30% — to be closing polling stations is blatant voter suppression… when I joined the Navy, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic…Talking to you, Comrades."
