(scrolling through job postings for 20 minutes) Maybe this doesn't matter. Maybe nothing matters at all. Maybe the industrial revolution was a mistake

What's behind the Trump administration's immigration memes? White supremacist tropes and ironic viral jokes illustrate the administration's project of redefining who belongs in the United States.

Phew, the sex trafficker and perjurer exonerated the one man who can free her. I am totally persuaded.

I don't think we're lucky enough for him to bite it during this term, because fuck us, but if he did I really wonder if the media would be willing to run the same cover for JD Vance as it is for him

as fucked as it is I don't think they see Vance as the embodiment of the Volk the same way

The most important part of this article, to me, is the end.

CNN headline: Trump escalates attacks against Smithsonian museums, says there’s too much focus on ‘how bad slavery was’

it’s fun that the “facts don’t care about your feelings” people make every single decision entirely based on how they feel

This really is an incredible piece. Steve is one of the best tech journalists of all time, he deserves twice the attention he gets, I don't see anyone else doing this level of in-depth analysis. Astonishing that nobody else got this story. This should be front page of @techmeme.com!

A.I. is popular because it gives you the experience of being a boss: you get to give annoyingly specific instructions about how to do something you don't actually know how to do yourself, and then claim credit for the end result.

Who are the biggest or most relevant Black news content creators/news influencers on TikTok? They need to cover breaking news, national news and politics not celeb news. (specifically TikTok, looking for a story. Looking for women especially).

Twitter is now 75% bot activity. The dead internet theory aint a theory anymore.

agrowingculture 3 hours ago 2/5 This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron. Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept. This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

Well that settles it.

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Gentle recommendation to have a hobby that you can 1) do on your own time 2) are not doing for livelihood or career 3) can grow your skill in over time, and 4) can focus on for chunks of time where you can tune other things out. I spent a couple hours last night developing film and it was excellent

okay, it’s time for me to finally weigh in: it’s probably a bad sign that guys are just doing sieg heils in public again
