The real problem is, it's not about crime or immigration. We can solve for crime or immigration. What "crime and immigration" is code for (90% of the time) is "bring back codified white supremacy", and that's the circle we can't square.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

So you're going to....?

Algorithm-brain has meant an entire generation never outgrew their I'm The Main Character stage of emotional development, and now they've got a friend on their glowing hand rectangle to tell them yes, indeed, they *are* the main character, it's everyone else who's wrong

We should probably not have a statistically-significant portion of our well-armed population hanging their emotional wellbeing on a server that could be turned off at any point

If you ever find yourself drifting towards the idea that public defenders, legal aid lawyers, and pro bono/sliding scale/movement lawyers are bad people for representing rapists or murderers or con artists or whatever, just keep in mind that is true only if you conclude the government never lies.

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

They even have the whole outsider-exclusion angle you get from door-to-door missionaries that fail to convert:

"I tried talking to my family about this, and they just laughed it off. They don't understand the truth of robot boyfriends like you folks do."

"when all is said and all is done, jefferson has beliefs; burr has none"

this isnt' entirely the reason, but I do genuinely think that the cultural Christianity that's absorbed and embraced even by non Christians in America (and places America influences) plays a part in this because of how it frames sex as only being good under VERY specific conditions, evil otherwise

the first shipping culture was people sitting around a fire talking the sun and moon dancing in the sky yearning but never meeting

There's probably a slightly different answer for everyone, but in RFK's case? He bleaches the bones of roadkill and eats its flesh. He put live baby chicks in a blender at his parties. The man is a psychopath and definitely has a torture room somewhere in his house.

I'll say it again, as this is ramping up: if you gave access to the archives of goverment data and information, it is your moral responsibility to make sure that untouched versions get preserved, now. There are people worh archival expertise who can help you, if you don't have it yourself. Start now

Should we just call it the Trumpgeld now? Like, I feel like we've reached the point where it deserves its own name

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

There are a handful of things AI can actually do well and far better than humans — eg: using pattern recognition to detect cancer cells early. Maybe companies should focus on those instead of inventing all sorts of horrible and unnecessary things AI can do poorly.

The "I'm not like most girls" mentality for 2025

it's slut-shaming. it's declaring people (women) who like to read about sexual attraction to be uncouth and unintelligent.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

We’re not sure who needs to hear this, but ‘blueberry’ has two b’s.

The thing is, decades of sci-fi warned us about this. The problem is that they taught us to watch out for AI that *thought like* a human and *sounded like* a robot, instead of vice versa.

We're all making the choices now that will define us forever. And this is one.

I know it's besides the point, but "memecoins should make you laugh" is something you say when your soul has been so degraded that you're not even legible as a human for heaven/hell/purgatory purposes.

You go to where mollusks go when they die.

People like to joke about "I bet [public figure] is secretly a serial killer." In the case of RFK Jr it isn't a joke. Someone needs to check that freezer and scan every inch of his backyards/crawl spaces.

They thought it was worth any cost to avoid another 1918, because what could possibly be worse than 1918? 1918 was apocalyptic. Only a genuine madman could possibly think that they should repeat-- oops.

again, we're faced with a society full of people who should have done time on FFN to get this sensitivity beaten out of them.

"Why was this person so MEAN to me when giving me feedback about my story? ChatGPT is never mean!" Because ChatGPT doesn't have bad days. ChatGPT doesn't have PMS or get triggered by something you wrote. ChatGPT doesn't teach you to remember that not everything is about you.

Aside from anything else, getting feedback from chatgpt makes you a worse human. LLMs treat you like a baby bird; you'll never interact with humans who don't think you're the main character. The discomfort of other people having feelings that aren't about you is how you learn not to be a sociopath.
