will

again man these people don't like trump because they have similar aesthetic tastes

they want to see certain people hurt

he promises to hurt those people

Second, the discussion focuses entirely on communicating a message of economic populism via cultural semiotics and social identities, when to my mind a more effective message would be the idea of a fair shake for everyone, both domestically but also globally.

Once saw a man by the river doing a sort of Mortal Kombat stance, squaring up to a massive hissing swan & he kept shouting “I won’t fucking back down pal” at it, as it advanced on him, wings outstretched like a terrible, vengeful angel & sometimes it seems like that is basically the entire world now

"I hope your beeper doesn't go off."

A year ago today, a racist tried to make a 'joke' about me being killed by Israel. It was the 1st time I've ever walked off of live TV. That night CNN said they'd ban the racist from their air. But in the year since, I myself haven't been invited back on CNN.

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ Patrick Gelsinger, executive chairman of Gloo, has made it his mission to advance Christian principles in Silicon Valley

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

Silence is consent.

"What are you going to do, shoot me? I would die for this shit."

Until congress responds with the rage, fear, and courage of this man, they are letting me down and they are letting you down.

Conservatives in both parties are addicted to voting for the people who killed their friends and loved ones with covid

i will die on the hill that vaccine public policy should be built on two pillars

1. the loving embrace of stimulus
2. The brutal weight of the modern state for non compliance

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

I feel like you can polarize pretty much anyone against this technology with five minutes and a good prompt

"you can make a video of me saying WHAT"

15 years ago we became enamored with stories that never really materialized. we were promised incredible progress. what we got was a 1.2% increase in total factor productivity and ~75 autocratic billionaires driving themselves fucking insane via group chats

does anyone seriously dispute at this point that Hakeem Jeffries is personally voting for Andrew Cuomo and probably privately telling others to do the same

the American century of humiliation is in full swing

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

A mutual on the other site just pointed out something re: criticism of No Kings/50501 from the left, and that it's most of them simply do not understand that Democratic party leadership and the base Democratic voters are not remotely the same thing

good

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

Unlike Trump, I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care.

I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults. 12:02 PM · Oct 14, 2025 · 1.2M Views

Sam Altman went from “AI will cure cancer" to "ChatGPT porn" in less than a month

My read is that fascists in the Trump Admin had Portland central to their martial law plan — 100% confident they could poke us & get visuals they wanted — and we, incredibly, have denied it to them in the funniest way possible.

It’s honestly an incredible achievement. So proud of Portlanders.

a real water is wet scenario here

"All it took was an international terror campaign run by the government to prove it's natural to be cis"

(watching a population vigorously oppose subsidizing the welfare state while also maintaining one of the world’s largest prison systems) these are people who love to be free

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

the background on zohran's colbert appearance is jaw-droppingly disgusting
