If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Berman: Was the President right about the polling?

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "As a state rep, I get paid about $600 a month. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind... So this decision was not made lightly."

Wonder how sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh and sexual predator Clarence Thomas will vote on the fate of sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell.

I am kinda fascinated by the emerging joint deployment of “Mamdani would take away the NYPD’s ability to effectively deal with shootings like the one that happened on Monday” and “It’s impossible to prevent shootings like the one that happened on Monday”, sometimes on the same page of the newspaper.

170. DOJ's (Ridiculous) Misconduct Complaint Against Chief Judge Boasberg DOJ's complaint that Chief Judge Boasberg engaged in "misconduct" would be laughably stupid if it didn't reflect such a transparently obvious and dangerous attempt to delegitimize the federal courts.

DEBATT: Vill han ha det som i ”Starship troopers”? Johan Forssells (M) menar att personer med funktionsnedsättning ska nekas medborgarskap. För mig som är sjuk väcker retoriken minnen av en lång historia av förakt och förtryck, skriver debattören.

"...i grunden måste vi fråga oss varför palestinierna befinner sig i ett tillstånd där de tvingas tigga mat av sina egna bödlar."

Well thanks to Trump v US, Obama had presidential immunity… or is that only for Trump? 👀
