Why can't every tech guy be like Tom from MySpace: make $500 million and then fuck off into obscurity. Why do they have to keep bothering us

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough.

There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Well done @timbersarmy.org #RCTID #NoKings

A dirt warrior lies vanquished next to his wheelbarrow, stink lines wafting from his prostrate form.

I moved about 5 cubic yards of dirt from one part of my lawn to another, and did not die even a little bit. It felt like a 45yr old dork's version of an accomplishment.

Pope Leo hits out at critics of global warming In his first major statement on climate change, the pontiff criticises those who minimise climate change.

"God will ask us if we have cultivated and cared for the world that he created for the benefit of all and for future generations, and if we have taken care of our brothers and sisters - what will be our answer, my dear friends?"

vance really does stand out for his absolute contempt for anything that looks like forbearance and generosity. his immediate instinct is always to demagogue and issue calumnies against his fellow americans.

For anyone having trouble pronouncing acetaminophen, Jack n Meg have a sing along for you.

Safe travels over here to the upper left and hope the Rose City treats you acceptably.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

The Trump administration is LYING about how long people are stuck waiting for help with their Social Security benefits.

I pressed the Social Security Commissioner and got him to agree to an independent investigation.

Instead of fudging the numbers, do your job and help people.

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

Dean Cain sounds like a f###in porn star anyway, let him be eternally f###ed. So say we all.

Seems like the move is purely to benefit pharmaceutical conglomerates and private corporate lab r&d profits. Public research and mRNA vaccines actually curing something would eat into all that stock value and market price gouging for forever-meds. So so beyond gross.

As a society America is the tirelessly repeated internet video of an idiot playing with a known dangerous firework because they CAN and then the caption is not IF they lost fingers but how many. In our case in place if fingers it'll be Portland Maine getting nuked instead of Portland Oregon.

Listen, they won’t leave him over sexual abuse charges, but they will leave him over high grocery, gas, and utility prices…

Rent is skyrocketing and wages are stagnating. Talk about the economic pain. They will deny abuse, but they won’t deny their light bill.

They don’t practice empathy.

A "single identity" system online would do more to suppress dissent, free speech, honest engagement and generally being a human. The fear of retaliation (ie. Doxxing) would sharpen and weaponize the wave of populism that is threatening global stability for all of us.

“Superman is too woke!”

Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

Almost twice as many people ride the New York City bus every day as live in Wyoming.

The bus should have two senators

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Just fucking getting newsed in the face every fucking day

It was always a myth…

Without sound on that clip ... she is entirely too focused on getting the words out. She knows she is spewing absolute dog-mess and her constant gulps for air during those pauses give her away. WHEN these people have their fall, Bondi is going to go through some things. She's earning it daily.

Watching gamers troll Musk in Path of Exile is excellent digital resistance, imo. Publicly mocking these dangerous super-tools is effective. They can't even be paint by numbers Bond villains right. Ridicule puts them off balance. Bully All Despots Dictators Insurectionists and Egomaniacs (BADDIE).

🤦🏼 WHOOPS — An economist whose work Trump used to calculate the tariffs says they massively screwed up the math: “I would strongly prefer the policy be scrapped entirely, but barring that Trump should divide the results by FOUR.”
