One and A Two

give me a penny for your thoughts

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

thank you for the alt text!

CAPY CHRISTMAS

Nervous and excited for TN07 results. A last minute scramble never looks good and they seem scared. Hoping for @aftynbehn.bsky.social victory!

same as the Vietnam War - footage of real destruction immediately cuts through any propaganda attempt to justify genocide.

They’re out of touch about the speed of media outside their approved channels, and brazen lies with talking points well-after-the-fact undermines any good faith reading.

this is Col. Jessep's "You can't handle the truth!", but purposefully held outside of a court where perjury means something. Instead, it's a press conference to spin and attack reporters.

You need to approach this with paper trails and cross-examination, not Fox News acting as an arbiter of truth.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

notice how Franklin is firing a second time at an already exploded boat

A page from a novel reading: You keep asking why your work is not *enough*, & I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world & marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just *live*.”

Re-reading Becky Chambers’ *A Psalm for the Wild-Built* for class & moved again by:

“You keep asking why your work is not enough, & I don’t know how to answer that, because it is enough to exist in the world & marvel at it. You don’t need to justify that, or earn it. You are allowed to just live”

it's hard to get your mind around how irredeemably broken this country has become. no one in charge at this time seems to understand even the basics of our system of government as written or our stated set of values as a secular society

Oh they worried worried

He’s getting cooked on all sides, hence the course reversal every four hours

Page from BRAINS First Panel: "An AI has no sense of anything. No context. No experience." Illustration of a little pink frog (he's playing a blood cell in this comic, though, which is why he's pink) Second panel: "It cannot touch" the pink frog bends down to pick a flower Third panel: "It cannot smell" 'sniff sniff' the frog smells the flower Fourth panel: "It cannot breathe" (the frog is now dark blue with bright pink lungs visible, as though the frog has been imaged in some way) Fifth panel: "It cannot think" (the frogs brain is now visible, similarly to the lungs in the previous panel) Sixth panel: "It cannot be" the frog is floating and his cute lil butt is visible Seventh panel: "*Stares directly at camera*" the pink frog stares directly at camera Eight panel: "It cannot be... YOU"

Tapping the sign again

Al is also changing how we communicate. With so little free time and so much pressure to be perfect, many who've never cooked a turkey might have a chatbot walk them through the steps, feeling safer asking "stupid questions" in private. People even report using Al conversation prompts to get lively discussions going at the table. Al can generate the toast, the prayer, the party games and the poem read before dessert.

This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Stephen Miller: "I told you to take the mayor's staff!"

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Now this, I can get into

We really do deserve more than all this.

?

In your mind, no one should ever be primaried? People shouldn't petition the government? Leaders must be treated as infallible, squash dissent, and garner infinite sympathy?

Surely not. So why speak in absolutes about a primary in another country? What is the function of a primary, to you?

The Hill on X: "Pete Buttigieg visits with striking United Auto Workers in Reno, NV. https://t.co/eaN7PjbRlu" / X Pete Buttigieg visits with striking United Auto Workers in Reno, NV. https://t.co/eaN7PjbRlu

You can feel the sheepishness - he even redirects mid-question to "I guess as long as it takes". His questions "how's the optimism? how are you feeding yourselves? how long can you handle it?" is very consultant brained x.com/thehill/stat...

a strike fund is the money used to support sustain workers while on strike. asking how much money is left is asking "how many days can the company stall before you concede to their terms?"

that number is a crucial leverage point for a strike to succeed/fail, and his question benefits the company.

Then why is he angry at Massie and calling MTG a traitor?

It’s pretty simple.

When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

Room for the Jewish Space Lasers lady but Chuck Schumer wouldn’t endorse Mamdani

Discussing that $450M davinci painting again, Epstein details how money launderers operate with using fronts to legitimize them. For example, buying properties and associating them with a famous name to justify an increase in value.

Which famous name does he give as example? Trump.
