IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

Democrats still get grief for a decade-old “deplorable” comment whereas Republicans acting like the Klan barely hits the news. Bigotry is a career strategy for them.

Damn, this “Homer Simpson backs into the bushes” meme sounds crazy.

The tech press told everyone this guy was a genius for a decade plus because they didn't know what the fuck they were looking at. Although now I'm wondering if pubs specifically picked their least talented reporters to cover tech in the early days because they didn't know where else to put them

According to DOGE flunky, a documentary about the experiences of Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust is "inherently discriminatory." Come ON.

This lays bare who he is. Playing sports is the least consequential of the trans issues as far as impact but is the highest visibility due to loud annoying people. He will sell out anyone if right wing freaks are loud enough. He believes in nothing other than his own pursuit of power.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

The funniest part is her saying she would never ask people from other countries who they voted for, like she had some nuanced take about the differences between Finna Fail and Sinn Fein.
Who Americans vote for affects the rest of the world!

The thing that's most damning about this from a media ethics standpoint (yes, I know) is that most of the audience and Trump supporters probably wouldn't have noticed the ball cap. But the people at Fox News knew it was a bad look and they made an active potter box decision to run the old footage.

They're still lying on the website:

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

there is no opposition party in the U.S.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started.

People are saying the baseball hat is disrespectful but don’t they realize the letters are GOLDEN??? That is the most luxurious and fancy shade of piss

Renee Good was also shot at point-blank range through her side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger

Alex Pretti wasn’t in a car, but he too was shot at point-blank range by an ICE agent who was in no danger

It seems every time ICE kills someone they lie to cover up shooting innocent people

to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be

Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.

Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.

"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

If you want to read people dunking on an embarrassing AI dork over and over, the replies to this are very, very funny.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Great to know their CEO doesn't even understand how AI works. It's not anxious because it's conscious, dumbass. It's anxious because you've been scraping the social media of users living and posting through fucking unstable times.

"As you can see from my giant poster of spent bullet casings I'm a very very good guy"

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

A politically incorrect war is, I guess, when you listen to an Andrew Dice Clay album in your blackhawk?

A fitting end to her career:

Ironically repeating a fake quote misattributed to a man who would have hated her.

See ya, Kristi. I wonder if they'll go for the death penalty in your inevitable trial.

hahahahahahaha

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.
