This is what Syrias looked like in Tehran today. It is raining oil. The street cats are covered in it. This is a colossal crime against humanity.

Seriously when I see the bombing videos I just think “oh yeah, we have plenty of money for single payer health care, no question”

How Oklahoma is making it harder for citizen-led measures to get on the ballot The state hired Shapard’s wife and three adult children to help when some workers didn’t show up. The Secretary of State’s office also pulled in some of its own staff to help as the deadline to get ba...

Following the failure of SQ836 to make the ballot, it might be worth taking a look at the company (like we did at @readfrontier.bsky.social a few years ago) in charge of verifying the signatures in Oklahoma.

Sorry to screenshot @jasonheppler.org but I want it all in.

This is more than a joke. Under the hierarchical 18th-century culture of deference, political leaders were often expected to be landed gentry, above the scrum of commerce. For GW, clothes were a necessary marker. AI ain't getting that.

If somebody tells you they go to Bible Church they’re telling you that they’re fucking illiterate.

I’m like halfway through, really enjoying it

We're smokin' that Argentinian himejoshi catgirl shit out of a puma bone pipe at an altitude of 12,600 feet, concurrent with the third Dynasty of Ur, you stupid shit.

Remember: If you are a billionaire, a wealth tax and cap are for your *own protection.* The income tax rate at the end of a pitchfork is 100%.

The gap between how cool he thinks he sounds and how he actually sounds would take light eight centuries to traverse.

Every head of state, elected or not, should only serve a fixed term and at the end, should they survive, go on trial for their crimes to determine whether their permanent exile will be cushy or hard

And now we learn that Anthropic thing was just posturing / a charade. AI literally kills.

Every year that same Cadbury commercial and I have to think, there’s no way any of these animals are still alive.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

It’s so good!

I have questions about the fifa peace prize

Reading the news about AI’s got me feeling like this…

Nailed it. I’m glad our people (first timers) are enjoying themselves but some real JOMO over here.

We keep getting older judgy mailmen and they keep trying to give me their (bad) opinions.
This one today was about seeing a guy drinking from a cup he found in a trash can.

I usually get pizza if I don’t go I’m just too hungry to bother and make some boring sandwich. It’s always a letdown.

Same! My car needs a engine rebuild soon and I’m like I don’t want to “upgrade” to screens just let me keep my buttons and knobs.

Me trying to get back to sleep at 3am.

All you have to say is “we certainly didn’t mean any disrespect to the US women’s hockey team. We all know they’re great champions and competitors, and we’re proud of them.” Then STFU

I’m either going be at work late helping with the Roger Deakins event or watching the Thunder vs the Raptors, either is preferable to getting anywhere close to watching the SOTU thanks

Heist movie where the gang get the layout of the target building by hacking into its robot vacuums

It's kind of ridiculous to me that stocks are cratering because someone wrote that AI may make white-collar jobs obsolete, instead of stocks cratering because *AI can't do the most of the things that it promises, including making white-collar jobs obsolete.*

I laughed
