A racist rightwing regime led by people who are obsessed with birth rates, IQs, natural selection, a mythic past, is purifying the country through mass deportation. I’m sorry that a moment of public awareness is occurring through something as gauche as a mall-brand ad campaign but … grow up?

This has been a big week in media for white liberals to demonstrate their “one of the normal ones” bona fides by sneering at people upset by a genetics themed corporate campaign, but the people reacting are reacting to something real: the reentry of overt eugenics in mainstream politics.

Literally any other administration in American history would dump extra money into this and never stop talking about how they defeated Plague, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and meanwhile we stuck ourselves with these evil fucks.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

I will be casting my vote for 8 black teenagers in all future elections and hope the Democratic Party learns something here.

If a DOGE staffer got his ass kicked in DC there’s less than zero percent chance it was because he was trying to defend a young woman from “about a dozen young men” lmao but this is some incredible fan fic

Instagram post from the nsgov Instagram account. Black and red text reads “STAY OUT OF THE WOODS”; the foreground is a black silhouette of trees

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids

Nobody knows who is in charge but they are all extremely clear it isn’t them.

Now that I've made peaceful revolution impossible it's time to sit back and enjoy my wealth and power with no adverse consequences

the ephemerality of posting is part of the appeal to me but i think if we don't create a few lasting monuments to our own hubris they might draw wrong conclusions about us like how instantaneous access to the sum of all human knowledge made us better and more enlightened people

Naomi Wolf going "No! No!!" at a picture of a stuffed teddy bear wearing a little mask

the further we get from the initial covid outbreak the more i feel a genuine calling to cast the naomi wolf freaking out at a stanley bear tweet in bronze so that future generations have physical, lasting proof that this was an era of extremely dumb people

ACADEMIC READING ALREADY COMES WITH A SUMMARY IT IS CALLED THE ABSTRACT

Hilda Nilsson - Wikipedia

real-life killers, too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilda_N...

Washington crossing the krispy kreme parking lot, eager to get the jump on those historically low prices, only at the twin pines mall

yeah it's literally a serial killer nickname

"angel maker" is, like, a serial killer nickname

These people want you to believe shame and public outcry are no longer obstacles but they are

you gotta admit, it's extremely on brand for tesla

Admin want to be able to swoop in and take over the credentialing function of a course at will, undermining the power of faculty to strike.

I have spent multiple weeks working on this story. We are not dropping it. I hope you will give this a read.

but if we didn't spend all of the city's money on police like this, it would collapse the job market of the white-power suburbs

A tweet saying "every single municipal budget looks like the dril candle budget tweet" with a graph showing Police taking like 90% of a city's budget. Baltimore specifically.

When people talk about how systemic and structural issues don't exist but the data all looks like this.

if you ever find yourself posting about "AMAB millennials" you should just turn off the computer and walk away for a few days, whatever you are doing is neither thoughtful nor healthy

If you ask AI to generate a letter, it’s not a “historical” letter. Same for images. It’s a new image, which cannot be read as a source in the way an actual historical image can.

I’m staring at the sentence about using “generative AI to produce a historical image.”

What does the word “historical” mean in this sentence? Vibes?

im on board with king of the hill being an excellent series and i'll give it a shot but im also aware that very often the antagonist for the episode would be "art" or "the americans with disabilities act"

it would have been the right move, politically and morally, for the u.s. to bomb israeli military bases back in summer 2024

it’s impressive how much “but daddy ninty made the Marios!” gets in the way of how fucking draconian they are for most people, but that’s rose tint for you

i grew up an F-Zero fan so i saw through that a lot easier /hj
