We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

I felt like Giants got stuck in a cycle of “look classy in new ballpark” —-“oh shit we’re winning a lot” ——- “keep the tradition alive” and now they can finally do stuff

Repurposing of 80s font is the sort of elite stuff I wish the Pads would figure out

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

After decades of being told the defense budget was necessary to keep limitless supply of munitions, then seeing that it’s all just a financial circlejerk like the AI bubble. Thanks for the healthcare!

people having seizures who never had them before. mystery medications. suicides. guards not calling 911 for like an hour after an incident. a prison doc talking about hygiene and diet to a patient with depression. families filing FOIA requests just to try and find out how their loved one died

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

These are not oafish incompetents. These are plainly bad people who bully us into going along with them, or even telling ourselves they are the good guys.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

Tech CEOs Confused by Why Everybody Hates AI So Much With public sentiment on AI resoundly negative, the tech CEOs pushing the new tech only seem to be doubling down.

just spitballing but some of it might have something to do with 15 years of sociopathic behavior culminating in the enthusiastic embrace of violent fascism

Unstated in this piece is that Mr Clean is retiring in lieu of facing a disciplinary hearing for firing his service weapon during a fight at a high school basketball game that he was refereeing

Trump's speech was under two hours, which bolsters the thesis that the leaks about it being more than two hours were meant to work the prediction markets
