Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

The dead have a right to remain dead. An animated skin put over a computer model and given the same name as the dead son of grieving parents is a cursed golem and a full delusion. By interviewing the computer model, Acosta has asked us to accept this as true or real. Gun control deserves better.

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.

The way you square low party favorables with an okay generic ballot and very strong special election performance is that the Democratic base is ready to crawl over broken glass to oppose Republicans and furious at party leadership for not feeling the same.

If Trey Parker and Matt Stone successfully goad Trump into blowing up the Paramount/CBS deal it will be the funniest thing South Park has ever done

Ozzy's last public appearance - saying goodbye to 45,000 people and millions online while raising £140m for worthy charities. Hogan's last public appearance - getting booed out of the building at the racist wrestling company for being too overtly racist, shilling his shit racist beer.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Migrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report alleges Incident in which migrants were shackled with hands tied of one succession of alleged abuses at jails in Florida

My only hope is that one day Trump and his officials will face a tribunal on crimes against humanity.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

We no longer have a functional Supreme Court and people (especially those in power and in the media) need to start plainly addressing that fact.

The entire edifice, along with many other pillars of government, will need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

It’s absolutely impossible to think this is the result of good faith legal analysis, especially when they refuse to provide any reasons!

everyone talks about ai “assistants” like it’s some whipsmart loyal sidekick, but they’re actually this guy: a scheming, sycophant vizier who whispers delusions in your ear and is actually working for another master

Immigrants make America better. Period. It's not up for debate.

If I'm a Democratic politician, I'm out making this case every day, convincing voters. If it turns out that no matter what I say, my constituents still hate immigrants, I wouldn't pander. I'd lose the next election and move.

Linda Yaccarino is leaving X in the wake of MechaHitler, but Congressional Democrats and progressive organizations are not. 👍

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.

Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.

I always say I love my country the way Anthony Bourdain did, not as a benevolent state or one founded in innocence but as vast, beautiful place full of discrete people and cultures such as has rarely been attempted and worth fighting for.

I really really do not think most Democratic politicians understand how many normie democrats think we will need Nuremberg-esque truth & reconciliation investigations and trials of leading Republican officials the next time we are in power

The majority of Japanese-Americans interned during WWII were American citizens.

Our government ignored their civil rights.

Indiana Jones and Are You Fucking Kidding Me Why Do I Have to Put Learning Outcomes on My Syllabus The Outcome I Want is For the Students to Learn What's Assigned on the Parts of the Syllabus They Can Barely Find For All the Dumb Boilerplate Nonsense I'm Supposed to Put on the Syllabus

The issue isn’t that there are revolting deranged bigots in America. The issue isn’t even that they have their own following. The issue is that they are prominent advisors and friends to the President of the United States and his team.

I think most people severely underestimated how much fascism and kleptocracy would triumph through the surrender and default of forces that should have opposed it.

i really want to thank paramount and CBS news for further eroding trust in the media, something with which we definitely needed help. the journalism community is grateful for your sacrifice.

Hot take: Young men “playing video games all day” deserve access to health insurance too. In a humane society everyone should have access to health care regardless of who they are or what they do. We should be expanding health insurance coverage, not kicking people off it.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Any Dem focusing on talking about tax cuts for the rich now instead of "President threatens to arrest Democratic Nominee for Mayor of NYC while celebrating opening of Florida Concentration Camp" is not paying attention and is not fighting for you and your safety.

If you think ICE is bad now, just wait till they hire 10,000 more agents and open more concentration camps.

The fascists are openly telling you there will never be free or fair elections again. If they go ahead with this plan to disappear their political rivals you no longer can go on pretending that we have any other choice but to fight the war being waged against us.

This is real. It is not the onion.

The @nytimes.com is straight-up unwell.
