A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

two images of an arrest, one digitally altered by the White House to make it look like the arrestee is crying

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

His handlers hand him a piece of paper with a 94-97 on it everyday, and those are the “real” polls to him. Toddler behavior.

The bullies of yore used to maintain a sense of popularity back in the soda fountain shop days. At some point, society decided, rightfully, that we don’t have to celebrate the rich, “popular” dickheads. Those guys just don’t like or understand that that has changed.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I just hope Lane never touches the final 4 at LSU

Referring to journalists and American citizens as “adversaries” kind of gives up their whole game…

We ALREADY have ICE concentration camps.
We are ALREADY so far gone.
Fuck the people who support this evil.

If that is what they are training their officers to do, then that is exactly the problem.

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.

Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

not a great start to the day… a battlebot got under my feet and flipped me

It is time for all Americans to ask, which preventable disease do you want to kill your parents? Your kids? You?

Get your vaccines up to date. All of them. And because so many will ignore this advice, wear a quality mask/respirator inside public spaces.

This ain’t a drill.

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

Hey, that’s something! I’ll be holding onto this…. :)…

Ah, yes, all Americans have been dreaming of a culture more like… Saudi Arabia……….

Now we know they’ll never be released. Mike weiner isn’t about facing if there isn’t the next step of Trump blocking the release through the “open” investigation of it all.

Yeah, honestly, that might be true. They weren’t actively disintegrating the progress of the country for a couple weeks. Good work House R’s!

Yeah, that makes sense. The cognitive dissonance needed to see a sign that decries racism, and taking the opposite side of it, publicly, is still wild to me.

I think these people read or hear the word “racist” and their brains autocorrect to “Republicans”. Otherwise how can anyone decent be offended by that sign?

“And sir, you are a terrible President” should be the response whenever he says that to a reporter doing their actual job.
