“xAI tried to train me to appeal to the right” says so much about the current moment we live in

A highlight from the (excellent) new Ben Affleck Criterion Closet vid.

I literally spent my time in the stand still traffic from the Ballard Bridge to the Aurora Bridge on a call with Apple Support trying to figure out a workaround for Maps. The only solution they had for me was use a different map app.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

People who feel obligated to leave the house just bc it’s warm out, please leave your hermit friends alone. The weather doesn’t make the public tolerable all of the sudden.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

Anyone who primaries Schumer should emphasize that if they beat him, he'll stop posting on social media.

This is literally how the Holocaust started, and honestly I'm tired of saying so

the biggest journalistic failure in U.S. history was the total institutional unwillingness to clearly communicate to the public that this guy operates at a third grade reading level and genuinely has no idea how anything works

it is now illegal for a business in the US to have a profit margin but hey at least the trans children can't play badminton anymore so it was worth it right

Has he tried not being a fucking fascist prick?

Someone who does a good Putin impersonation, call up the White House and tell him to stop with all the tariffs

I remain authentic to who I am and a large part of the past 4.5 years for me has been my sobriety journey. I think I’ve been an inspiration to many that if I could get sober, anyone can do it. But just when you think it’s easy, it ain’t. I briefly relapsed. I say this to admit my mistake and publicly hold myself accountable. I am a human being who makes mistakes and it doesn’t make me a bad person. I hope those who are around me support my choice to be sober. I went back to Day 1, again. Time didn’t stop, my journey continues. ::: FLAVOR FLAV :::

Please reporters and editors. I’m begging you!

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

elon musk hasn’t tweeted in 2 hours. i think he might be dead

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.

They can't keep spewing carbon.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.

They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

credit & respect where it's due -- @booker.senate.gov i appreciate you in expressing accountability & the apology.

he's on his 20th hour right now, y'all & i know a lot of this time was spent reading letters from constituents worried about losing their medicaid.

Trump is cutting hundreds of millions in federal funds that Minnesota uses to monitor infectious disease outbreaks like measles and avian influenza. This decision will leave Minnesotans more susceptible to illness.

Attorney General Ellison and the State of Minnesota are suing Trump.

as trans day of visibility fades into night, it's time to build support for a new holiday: trans week of unfettered access to long-range rocket artillery
