Invalid Hamdle (Okay.)

pretty much The Bar to be spared a primary in the next five years

it's possible that Spanberger hates these people enough she could actually do a one-term 'burn the crops and salt the fields' demolition on the GOP. the memes from the tribunals would be tremendous

So you'd rather stick your head in the sand about the nature of the tech industry, got it.

Ok? That' still disgusting tbh.

What? Same reason as any of the techbro oligarchs do any of the things they've done to build private surveillance apparatus, bias algorithms in their favor, and lobby politicians.

Greed and endless desire for control and power.

Seems pretty obvious to me.

In addition to advertising, I see these things as perfect vessels for corporations to worm their way further into people's lives to gather more data. Imagine the sorts of private feelings you would only discus with loved ones, now you have this thing taking their place. Really sinister stuff.

Just imagine the kinds of things people will divulge if they convince themselves they are speaking to a dead relative, or at least something close enough, instead of an unfeeling corporate machine feeding all their answers back to a server for permanent storage and analysis.

Not everyone is that stupid, obviously, but there is clearly a critical mass of people stupid enough to make this kind of emotional manipulation via technology profitable, or worth doing for information gathering and social control purposes

"everyone would see right through it"

ha. Ha. HahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

This country reelected a compulsive liar felon pedophile.

There are millions of people who will lap up any bullshit the tech oligarchs sell them.

Every house needs a toilet ottoman, and some sort of creepy abomination from another universe.

Yeah, but I 100 percent expect these fuckers to do it. Zuckerberg and Meta are evil. Zero benefit of the doubt.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

We know what will happen when we have a weak piece of contemptible shit like Merrick Garland: All of the January 6 traitors were freed the second the unprosecuted Trump returned.

We need a lasting solution so these mutants cannot think: “I can break any law I want, and then wait for the pardon.”

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

Yes. These are the kinds of narcissistic personalities who would rather burn everything down and be king of bumfuckistan than to have to share even a hint of power with other people who aren't exactly like them in the wider multicultural world we inhabit

I don't think it's remotely worth worrying about. If someone is morally depraved enough to even be able to be negatively polarized into supporting a mass child rape cabal, they were always going to get there eventually, polarization or not.

And here in a nutshell we have the entire zeitgeist of the modern misinfo economy- people will not read whats literally in front of their face if they can just have a fiction they like better.

We live in a world of people whove decided vibes are better than reality so reality can be dispensed with

Professional-managerial class

The simplest path to socialism in America runs through corporate governance reform. Who has what rights to make how much money from what labor

The more I think about it, the more I think this "structuralist-realist" argument for socialism is the one most likely to win over socialism-shy PMC types

You make absolutely zero reference to any values of equality and greed, and instead make it about the protection of public goods

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.

That people are already staking out strong takes on voting in the 2028 primary on this website is simply further evidence that people need to get out more and do literally anything. Even laying in a field and looking at clouds is more productive

#2 was "anti-imperialists" getting really mad that someone was badmouthing their emotional support dictatorships

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Crazy how many powerful people struggle with this to this day

Still image of boy about to throw a punch with word “okay” below Black on yellow background

New gadsen flag just dropped

I was told by more than one voter that they didn't want to vote for Kamala Harris because she seemed kinda stupid, & this sort of deliberate coverage is exactly how people got that impression.

Will never stop reminding people of this

If conservatives are upset with coverage, one must re-configure the paper so they never for a second feel like they are condescended to. If libs are upset with coverage, they’re stupid and can’t read.
