it is the worst of all worlds. a "unitary *presidency*" insulated from judicial or congressional power and a weak president unable to do the job of governing

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

AI tools are 'deskilling' workers, philosophy professor says A philosophy professor warns that AI reliance is weakening workers' judgment, creativity, and problem-solving.

We can't really say this enough...

Just a friendly reminder that AI slop has not taken over games fully yet and there are still humans making the games you enjoy. Please for the love of god dont abandon us.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

If you don’t remember who the “Front Line COVID Critical Care Alliance” is, they did not work on the front lines but sold millions of dollars of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin - and merch - at flea markets and online and both of the founding members had their medical board certifications revoked.

One of the things about trust is that it is efficient. It saves you having to invest a lot of time and effort in verification, and if placed in the right places, saves you a lot of pain.

"The diseases will do the education" is what we get when we don't trust.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.

Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

I want less material written by people who don’t feel the need to admit that they think people stop being interesting and compelling once they have sex with them.

Just because this reviewer can’t stay interested in someone once they’re satisfied doesn’t mean characters can’t

Trump: "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"

The White House: He's not calling for their execution and anyone who says so is biased.

Truly Orwellian.

You know if there was any prestige attached to the Kennedy name, after RFK Jr I don't think there's going to be any at all. His disregard for scientific method, and his loading up of scientific panels with anti vaxxers , the worst. It's going to set us back decades

List of headlines from media covering FDA, most emphasizing the claim that covid killed children

News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Port has the same number of letters as left. So I always remember that Port is left. And so that way starboard is on the right

I have a good way to remember it, if this post is not being facetious? 😊

Ok, for the biggest shopping weekend of the year in the US, I'm making a thread of crafters, artists and artisans.who make and sell awesome stuff. 1/

Who’s gonna tell ‘em

getting the onion newspaper is worth it alone for the ads

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

Fuck this (realpage settlement, not s.e. smith’s correct opinion).

And look: RealPage is essentially the Voltron of landlords. It’s software that allows them to get together and form UberParasite so that every landlord in your city can extract every dollar possible.

Just out of curiosity, how many warriors in SOUTHCOM have faced actual enemy fire in these "operations"?

Please don't misunderstand, I understand that military training and operations always involve risk, but I can't quite handle the war criminal acting like these "missions" are actually dangerous.

“AI is here to stay” from the visionaries who brought you “NFTs are the future.”

don’t cheapen your slides! there *are* places to get free, human-created, rich, visual content on this bitch of an internet, some on this list: livelaugh.blog/posts/non-ai...

Worth it.

AAP: ‘Stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims’ about vaccines, autism The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its website to include false claims linking vaccines and autism, prompting a swift rebuke from the AAP and other medical experts.

I don’t think people outside of healthcare realize how much AAP is standing out as a moral backbone of medicine right now, especially in pediatrics. There is so much fear at institutions. Seeing an org directly and repeatedly targeted refuse to budge an inch is extraordinary.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.

Braise be!!

Green Card Interviews End in Handcuffs for Spouses of U.S. Citizens

To make their quota, ICE is now arresting spouses of US citizens who are in the country legally and who have passed all background checks, have no criminal records and are just waiting for their green card to be issued. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.
