— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well

— patiently wait for the crash

being a cat person is so crazy bc you live with someone who is undeniably annoying and you're always thinking "maybe i should get another cat"

"no more superficial individual expression"

This event hits a Bourdieuian sweet spot. Enough wealth: golf frequently, travel internationally, attend expensive events. Limited education: identify as elite versus salaried rich, believe in meritocracy, can't aptly critique MAGA. The faux nationalism framing of RC is the icing on the J6 cake.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats.

The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

This idolatrous basilisk shit masquerading as a vaguely Christian concern is nakedly and transparently designed to hype up fear, because a bunch of billionaires need to worsen our global crisis in order for them to impoverish most of humanity.

Get fucked.

Good morning to the playoff bound Seattle Mariners and no one else. Except maybe the Etsy witch.

Submissive drag queen out there being scooped.

Don't apologise for your dog showing up during the Zoom, apologise for hiding him all this time

Censorship Is the Authoritarian’s Dream The right to free expression must include the right to say horrible and evil things.

How much did Elon's takeover reshape Twitter/X? How did the partisan tilt of social media use change from 2020 to 2024?

Opinion | I’ve dedicated my career to promoting free speech on college campuses. Here’s why the murder of a red state college dropout by another red state college dropout means it’s time to fire liberal professors in blue states.

Russell Wilson was 7/9 for 264 yards and 3 TDs on throws over 20 yds today lmfao

Maga is fundamentally a populist white racism. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is more accurately described as "Make White America Greater." The fact that the tariff policy insisted on a 50% tariff only on steel and aluminum stems from the concentration of these groups in the Rust Belt.

The massive crackdown on illegal immigrants at the Hyundai-LG Energy Solutions joint venture plant in Georgia must be understood in this context. The scenes of our workers being chained and escorted away were reminiscent of the dragging of African slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Department of Homeland Security boasted of "the largest single-site raid in history," and Immigration and Customs Enforcement even brazenly released footage of the raid, which was highly violating human rights, as if to boast of their "achievement."

Far-right whites may have secretly rejoiced. Even politicians like the Georgia governor and local lawmakers, who had been active in attracting factories, have shifted their stance and sympathized with their grievances. This is likely because it's difficult to ignore the anti-immigrant sentiment of native Americans.

The fact that they mobilized helicopters and armored vehicles for show, as if they had been caught, is difficult to explain.

that's right folks, Ohio also has the former HQ of the Longaberger company. it's a seven story basket and it's empty because the company went bankrupt and nobody can figure out what to do with the building

Fields totally deserved a W today.

They absolutely feel like they are completely beyond accountability and that there will never be anything that can touch them. People who don't think they will ever answer for their crimes are more dangerous than anything.

The US minimum wage has been $7.25 for the entire time the ACA has existed. Fuck your work requirements for Medicaid.
