OMG! Clearly, a message from radical anarchists who want violence because they hate America!!!

(Republicans are shameless liars addicted to fictional talking points.)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

So adorable! You absolutely nailed the old-arcade aesthetic.

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

Thanks Carl!

Behold the corporate-approved fanart that launched a thousand ships...

AI to compete with your own services? It literally does not make sense for a sustainable business!"
But then I remember that they're not investing in AI for sustainable business practices. They're investing because Mr. Altman made a decent chatbot and stole a term from pop science fiction.

So I keep getting ads from Google telling me to use their AI to...search for basic info on the internet. I want to grab an exec by the lapel and scream at them "You're Google! What are you doing?! Your company literally coined a word for searching the internet! Why are you promoting this expensive

let me just go ahead right now and say: lol

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

Dudes rock

Simply in looking for the reason for this post, I've learned more disgusting things he's said.

You live, you learn

I hope this and every other comment are helpful, but also know that you are allowed to struggle even with all the good vibes heading your way. Idk your life. It takes time to heal, and it will almost certainly not be linear. 10 years later I'm like, /mostly/ out of the woods on my shit.

Definitely not alone! When I dropped out of college (undiagnosed audhd, mostly) my fear was that people would "find out I was always a failure." Luckily I had people who could talk sense to me: "of course you can tell us you're struggling? It doesn't mean you're less of a person or we love you less"

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

how disrespectful. let’s get this guy fired from his job.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

If we are giving up on Congress and the courts, and instead are relying on soldiers to disobey the Commander in Chief, then the republic has already failed. Frankly, I suspect the democrats are doing an intentionally bad job at opposing Trump. It's time to start looking for other parties.

Chicago keeping art alive:

I like referring to generative models as "Computerized Replication of Art Programs", or CRAP, but sadly I doubt it'll catch on.

Scooby I am as white as a hotel towel, and the closest thing to Mexican I am was a single all inclusive resort stay in Cancun. I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time 1d RookaTX This is the way Scooby • RookaTX Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures. 1d

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
