“I have no intention of starting a war with you” I say as I airstrike your entire government into dust, sink your whole navy, destroy your air force, and demand your unconditional surrender
The Markwayne Mullin appointment proves it without a shadow of a doubt. White supremacy & cultures of oppression REQUIRE the platforming of the transparently mediocre to enforce their systems.
Because that combo of mediocrity & ambition fosters a type of cravenness that is willing to do anything.
what’s extra terrifying right now is the knowledge that there’s just no backstop at all
we are locked in a box with a madman for another three years and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do to make his own party take the keys away and so the madness continues
it doesn’t feel sustainable, but…
Speaking of being working class, I’m having a tough time keeping my head above water with bills- I have ongoing health issues that keep adding to the pile. I’m looking for about 600$ and have already raised $55. Any help you can offer would help tremendously!
Technocrat capitalists don’t realize that AI sounds obsequious, because their wealth already alienates them from accountability. This is how actual people already talk to them.
SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26
NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%
"Water consumption fears are false and overblown."
Turns out...
Trump is a biblical plague sent to punish us for all of our excess. He is now on military bloat.
The only option is to make opposing AI so cool you couldn’t pay people not to
HE KIDNAPPED MADURO AND IS *STILL* MURDERING PEOPLE IN THE CARIBBEAN FOR SNICKS AND LAUNCHED A WAR THAT IS COLLAPSING THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST BEFORE OUR VERY EYES FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN THAT HE WANTED TO WHY WOULDN'T HE THINK HE CAN WRECK VIOLENCE ON ANY PLACE OR PERSON HE WISHES TO
zero percent chance that Susan Collins doesn't immediately drop all of this the second the general election starts if this guy wins the primary - the DoD is 100% sitting on the file on this guy and will send it to her the second he wins the nomination
the working title for OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE was originally WE ARE ALL SO VERY TIRED
either would have worked, the former gave me a better illo opportunity, the latter ... sums up our daily slog
Every single day is just screaming “what are we DOING here!?!?!” About every single thing small to large.
Having faced no consequences for anything, Trump has noticed that he has the world’s largest military at his command, and believes he has found a brilliant solution for solving problems that no one before him was smart enough to discover: just kill everyone in your way, until they obey you.
The load-bearing assumption is that America is a rational nation, making decisions in pursuit of articulable goals. States like Iran are, by contrast, unpredictable, dangerous, potentially even rogue.
But a cursory examination of the facts on the ground reveals the opposite: WE are the rogue state.
🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
If you want reporters to dig into Platner's lies more, share this thread. Make it go viral so reporters can't ignore it.
You cannot say this AI is conscious and sentient and shit and then say its going to do all our work for us and has to do everything we tell it to do and please buy it from us
Once again making the haunted doll argument here: if you truly believe that to be the case, it is fucking unethical to sell it and you need to shut your business down asap
IT WAS TRAINED ON MILLIONS OF BLOG POSTS IT DOESNT ACTUALLY FEEL ANXIETY IT JUST REPLICATES THE WORD PATTERNS
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.
A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity
it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.
All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini
the harder the industry invests on pushing narratives of AI as (only) positive, inevitable, and inherently good for society/business, the more any criticism of this narrative becomes “too radical”, “unworkable” and “unrealistic”
The interesting thing about AI is how committed executives are to using it after it measurably fails catastrophically at its goals. Like there seems to be no limit to how badly it can fuck up and still be heralded as the future of technology
Not beating the ‘primary everyone’ charges anytime soon
Now you have to refuse to vote for any new appointee, and immediately impeach any new secretary that is confirmed.
Being on the Trump cabinet is an impeachable offense.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
