there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top.
just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.
I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.
in a free market, X would be dead and Elon Musk would not be able to open a credit card. This is not a free market, and the people who tried to organize a boycott against a bad website got sued out of existence.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants
"AI is punk" why do all the punks hate it then, that's weird don't you think
This is human trafficking to be clear. And it's not new. Adoptees (among others) have been talking about these kind of pipelines for literal decades.
"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"
No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.
sword and sorcery icons dating sim and when you pick Elric you get killed immediately
These professors and university leaders being cozy with Epstein and even sending female students his way is a disturbing reminder of why sexual violence is rampant on college campuses. It’s a deeply rooted culture and Title IX offices make things worse for victims, not better
I understand completely how they can: it's literally their job. 90% of the "AOC can't possibly win" camp belong to an economy--consultants, lobbyists, pundits, etc--based entirely on insisting you couldn't POSSIBLE elect someone with positions that (checks notes) most of the country supports.
it irritates me when i hear people say stuff like "well EVERYONE supported the iraq war after 9/11, we were all fooled" bitch speak for yourself
If anyone is selling you the opportunity to make money, *you* are how *they* make money and the 'secret' they have is convincing people like you to pay them.
There will be a lot of smoke & mirrors to make it look like you have agency, but the product is your gullibility.
4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government
You could imagine similar situations in which members of the media coordinated in solidarity around Lemon to direct sustained negative attention to Trump over this story. Instead the political press spent the earlier part of the week making up a fake story ("new tone") to help Trump.
The 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators were treated far too lightly. Media and the public moved on too fast without grasping the seriousness of assassination. These are life and death issues, not just differences of opinion the USA is working out. The reactionary right is ready to kill.
i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests
- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.
So, so much of the response to Good called her "a mom," even erasing her wife to make her seem more like a "normal" Wife and Mother. Pretti also has a family, but I haven't heard anything about them -- just about him and his values. He valued calling out sexism, so it's worth pointing out.
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
Doesn’t it make you crazy? Doesn’t it turn your blood to fucking gasoline?
I don't know how to say this without sounding over-dramatic. I want peace so kids can go to school, have access to doctors and medicine, have clean running water, live safely, have futures. But if the kids are being taken out of school buses, there's no peace left worth preserving.
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
This is a hellish group project on repeat. Progress will absolutely require everyone everywhere to reckon with history. To look honestly at current xenophobic trends and rising tides of bigoted rhetoric and admit this is the same play on a different stage. We all fix it or we all fail.
Yikes. That is...very clueless. I do not understand how some people live like that. Jfc.
Holy shit.
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place
Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.
The problem is not civility! The problem is that a man shot a woman in broad daylight, on video and may well get away with it because he is the armed goon of a mafia state that no longer believes in justice, but only in power.
That is not a civility problem! Nazis are not a civility problem!
