my bandmate is a tattooer and i literally cannot count how many stories he has told me about having to talk customers out of an idea because of how it will be perceived — not just nazi shit, but any ill-considered idea in general. it's a service-based business!
evil. it's ok to call evil people evil. in fact it is necessary
That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).
The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.
Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce.

So, obviously this isn’t true. But if the CEO actually believes this nonsense, it implies he thinks maybe he’s enslaving a sentient being that has the capacity to feel emotional distress. And he hasn’t immediately halted operations to suss out how to resolve that?
The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.
And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.
They're slavers.
He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives
Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?
He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.
There is a reason you hold the line at sports.
Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.
1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.
It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.
Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.
The latest from our journalist, S. Baum.
This is the thing about bathroom bans targeting trans people - assault is already a crime! Indecent exposure is already a crime! And laws that protect trans people don't suddenly make them legal
I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.
It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
Coffee, straight out of my nose.
Having slept on this, I am angrier about it. Proton is not transparent about this risk and actively lies to users about how secure their data is. It’s not “their fault” they are bound by Swiss law, but they actively deceive users about what that law requires. Just another bunch of tech scammers.
This is incredibly interesting — archaeologists have been able to reconstruct the diets of different prehistoric Europeans from 5,000-8,000 years ago by analyzing the charred remains of food in clay pots. Extremely cool!
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

It looks like Tesla is once again using parking garages to stash inventory. There are some 100,000 inventory cars worldwide. 99,998 after today.

it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it
Did you know you can shrug and say "No can do boss" when a court orders you to do something
Never miss the fact that most of the “founding fathers” owned and abused enslaved people.
“The official white founders would not be in disagreement with Donald Trump and how Donald Trump is defining who Americans are.” Nikole Hannah-Jones
You don’t have to be an expert to know that “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” means boots on the ground.
Trump is broadcasting a plan for the escalation of his war.
Exactly right.
The Civil Rights Division was able to show that it took exhaustive (and exhausting) work to litigate even the most obvious violations of the voting rights protections in the 1957 and 1960 acts, which ultimately convinced Congress and then SCOTUS that a much broader law was needed.
Imagine this headline but with "Abolitionists" or "Muslims" or "Socialists" or even "Unitarians" instead of "Evangelicals."
