The Associated Press Does Free PR for Crisis Pregnancy Centers A recent story is a glaring example of how traditional journalistic “objectivity" is far from unbiased, and can even facilitate the spread of disinformation.

really appreciate this coverage from @autonomynews.co. crisis pregnancy centers are ubiquitous here in north texas and their impact is absolutely terrifying www.autonomynews.co/associated-p...

I am NOT enjoying this at all

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Proposal: instead of giving ChatGPT tens of billions of dollars to fail to create artificial intelligence, give me, an Actual Intelligence, a mere $10 million and I will gladly do a spreadsheet wrong for you from time to time for a modest fee.

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Pope Leo is spitting.

I think it’s perfectly consistent to believe that the government of Texas is an enemy while believing that the people of Texas are not. as a point of fact this is also what I currently believe about the United States of America

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

if you are feeling scared about our fascist gov't one action you could take is to pay for an abortion in the largest state where they are banned bsky.app/profile/teaf...

Yes. 😞

We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or what will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows? Not even the Generals in what remains of the Pentagon or the New York papers calling for WAR seem to know who did it or where to look for them. This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed -- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won't hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force. Good luck. He is in for a profoundly difficult job -- armed as he is with no credible Military Intelligence, no witnesses and only the ghost of Bin Laden to blame for the tragedy. OK. It is 24 hours later now, and we are not getting much information about the Five Ws of this thing. The numbers out of the Pentagon are baffling, as if Military Censorship has already been imposed on the media. It is ominous. The only news on TV comes from weeping victims and ignorant speculators. The lid is on. Loose Lips Sink Ships. Don't say anything that might give aid to The Enemy.

No better time to post Hunter S. Thompson on 9/12/2001.

it’s amazing that this close to covid and all the germ lessons we’re just back to people spitting on each other like it’s nothing

get mr beast away from my football i shouldnt even have to know he exists, this is a breach of trust

Oof. Dak balled out. The Cowboys defense played well all things considered. But man, sure feels like they could use an elite pass rusher who is at least a decent run defender………

Trying to decide whether I want all the LSU fans I like to be happy vs. whether I want Brian Kelly to be sad

Listening to republicans can make you feel like such a badass. I have walked around DC many times without being afraid, which was apparently incredibly brave of me. Built different I suppose

“If you don’t trust men, why are you dating?”

@crissle.com whacked thousands with that one. 🤭😅

Black women are getting pummeled in every direction. Hence what I said a while ago that some of the social media discourse was completely being led by ops. No serious person could think that 'sit it out' could ever be a viable strategy. 1000% ahistorical and 1 million percent lethal.

i can promise y'all that finding IRL processing/activism strategies for the horrors and using the internet to talk to friends and discuss fun things is not only better for your health and your friendships, it's way less likely to get you surveilled.

every clip I see of Hunter Biden makes me think "that crack smoker made some points"

we’d all be better off at this point if non-profit pay was closer to tech pay (and, uh, maybe vice versa too)

“The trans issue for me is so novel,” Newsom said. “I'm trying to understand as much as anyone else the whole ‘pronoun’ thing.”

im always taken aback by just how much cis people will humiliate themselves to be dicks to trans people. like sorry, youre confused about pronouns? how did you make it thru 6th grade english you slimy dipshit? why are you going on podcasts to advertise youre too stupid to understand simple concepts?

As a sports fan, a man who would say "both" , is a man who cannot be trusted at all on any topic, he is a disgrace, run him out of town

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

I’m so happy for Roy 😂

Why I Still Believe Texas Can Be Better "Texas taught me contradiction. It taught me how to love a place that doesn’t always love me back."

"In 2007, when I was just a girl, Texas had around 80 Planned Parenthood clinics. By 2011, about a third had closed. In 2025, only 39 remain—and none of them can provide abortion care. Even before Texas banned abortion entirely, 96% of our counties already didn’t have a provider."

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR
Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars.
<Later>
Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

Nice editorial here about private equity and how it robs us of even the small treats and nice gestures that build up companies in capitalism. Nothing can be nice anymore and it sucks! I hate it! We’re all waiting to be ransacked!

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."
