If I'm laughing, I helping.
If I'm crying, I can't help anyone.
None of us are alone in this fight, we will all fall and we will all get back up again.

Our strength is in our community.

They fucking hate seeing us laughing.

Remind me someday to laugh when sheโ€™s unable to get her regular Botox injections anymore while sitting in the same cell in The Hague that once held Slobodan Miloลกeviฤ‡.

At least Neuschwanstein was built with the practical purpose of trying to get Richard Wagner to hang out with (have sex with?) you.

Rwanda being denied basic respect as a great power by NATO is why they have troops occupying eastern Congo. ๐Ÿ™„

Feel like Antiwar has always been a Ron Paul/Glenn Greenwald isolationist right-wing site, so this is to be expected.

I mentioned earlier mocking the ugly beards of MAGAts while I was still on Twitter. Another way I enjoyed fucking with them, specifically tradcaths, was to suggests they became Catholic because they like images of a buff naked dude on a cross.

Albany fits right in with mid-sized New England cities like Springfield or Providence.

Yes. Obviously the NYC area is its own thing that includes large chunks of NJ and CT, but Albany and the Catskills/Adirondacks are New England, Binghamton and Utica are West Virginia, and Buffalo and Rochester are as much the Midwest as Milwaukee

Rochester should be included too. Theyโ€™re also Bills fans who say โ€œpopโ€ instead of โ€œsodaโ€.

Country has always had leftist gadflies like Steve Earle and Sturgill Simpson, but this feels different. Feels like a very bad sign for the Miller regime if theyโ€™re losing Zach Bryan.

Thank you @governor.ca.gov for signing a historic climate and affordability package! Weโ€™re running ads in @politico.com and @sfchronicle.com commending your leadership for cutting pollution and putting billions back into ratepayersโ€™ pockets.

For me, it was a LOT cheaper to buy a 3 BR house in our section of Long Island than to buy a 3 BR condo in the section of Brooklyn my wife and I were living in. And I know property taxes are much lower in NYC, but stillโ€ฆ

Why assume CBS under the Ellisons aims to make money, rather than sees financial losses as an acceptable price to advance political goals, like the Washington Post under Bezos or RT?

I get annoyed when people here shit-talk Long Island as some monolithic white MAGA land. Some parts are like that, no doubt. But some parts are extremely diverse. My kids go to school with Portuguese, Chinese, Pakistani, and Salvadoran kids, not just Irish and Italian ones.

I dunno, I think the NHL would be happy to give McKenna to Boston too.

Yes, some of us moved to suburbia because weโ€™d like a bit more space for growing families, and not because weโ€™re terrified of brown people and want to drive around an $80k pickup truck covered in Trump stickers.

Like Jews are both capitalist banker bloodsuckers and communist saboteurs (George Soros is both at the same time).

The GOP is swallowing a government shutdown that they know they'll be blamed for to coverup the president raping children. Just in case you were unsure what's going on.

Mind you: I have those non-Viking Northern European genes that make my beard grow in patchy and terrible so Iโ€™ve been clean-shaven pretty much my whole adult life, and it doesnโ€™t bother me in the least.

Sometimes I miss replying on Twitter to MAGAts/groypers/tradcaths with ugly beards with this gif. One of Rufoโ€™s minions challenged me to a fistfight before blocking me.

Being a nepo baby who has failed endlessly upward in life appears to destroy oneโ€™s sense of shame.

โ€œTwo years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.โ€

Maybe on some level I do Immaculate Grid every day to try to kick Bari Weiss and Thomas Chatterton Williams out of my mind and replace them with Neal Heaton and Jerry Don Gleaton.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.

Adults with decency and options and possibilities donโ€™t do this shit.

AMD stock skyrockets 30% as OpenAI looks to take stake in AI chipmaker OpenAI will deploy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs over multiple years, beginning with a 1-gigawatt rollout in 2026.

OpenAI may have found an infinite money glitch. AMD stock is up 25% after OpenAI pledged to spend billions it doesnโ€™t yet have on AMD chips over five years plus OpenAI gets 10% of AMD if it follows through.

Altogether, OpenAI has now promised $1T in purchases in deals with AMD, Nvidia, and Oracle.
