For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks.

There have always been horrifically anti-trans groups and individuals. Few have done more, though, to launder their hate into “respectable” conversations than Jess Singal. No publications have done more to help that along than The Atlantic and The New York Times.

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to ...

This is cool as hell: An app designed to ping people about nearby smartglasses.

Also cool: The creator was inspired by @404media.co coverage, a great illustration of why their journalism is so essential. This kind of work is funded by paid subscribers so become one of those if you can.

Painful to read this and think about the 2021 coup attempt, which was as blatant as it gets. An utter failure of US elites to seize the moment when everybody saw the threat right in front of their eyes.

If we have history books in the future, they will be unkind.

It’s so cool that California’s problems are all fixed so that my governor has time to interview extremely openly racist fascists for his podcast.

"Gavin Newsom is doing cultural normality the right way" -Ezra Klein

I said really loudly to this person in the galleria: “WOW YOU HAVE ON META GLASSES! WHAT DO YOU USE THEM FOR?”

Everyone turned around and they put them in their pocket. Yeah you fucking snitch, feel shame.

UPDATE: The plane was towed to the terminal around 3pm. Migrants are reportedly "at the terminal," though it's unclear to me if that means still on the plane or off of it. And if off, unclear if they are still shackled.

This is quite funny considering tetraethyl lead was in cars back then

"Leaked DNC autopsy found Biden's Israel backing cost Harris votes for president."

This is so weird because the Pussy Hat people kept saying the problem was Chappell Roan, or young people, or Latinos, or...always something that isn't Dem candidates supporting a genocide. And that goes for Harris and Biden.

I will personally donate $10,000 to any member of congress who shouts out "QUIET PIGGY" during Trump's state of the union tomorrow.

It's Official: the Cybertruck is More Explosive than the Ford Pinto - FuelArc News We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to comp...

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold.

Newsom’s message to the Democratic Party: Be more ‘culturally normal’ | CNN Politics California Governor Gavin Newsom sits down with CNN’s Dana Bash to talk about the future of the Democratic Party. He says the party should be “less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on...

Part of the problem with Gavin Newsom is that he's a stupid asshole who listens to stupid asshole right-wing podcasts and invites those stupid asshole right-wingers on his podcast and all of this stupid asshole influence leads him to believe and say stupid asshole right-wing talking points.

France curtails US Ambassador Kushner's government access after he fails to obey summons US Ambassador Charles Kushner "did not appear" after being formally summoned over comments the Trump administration made about the killing of a far-right activist in France, the foreign ministry said…

I won't be attending the State of the Union address.

I’m not interested in hearing another campaign rally full of lies.

A face with a mosaic of colors.

Good night supporters of democracy.

I wish we had sense like Denmark

zohran increased the number of snow shovelers from 500 to 1,400 for this blizzard, paying them $30/hour to shovel sidewalks with at least a four-foot berth so that wheelchairs and strollers can get through. he didn't overhaul city government to do it, he just used the power given to him and did it!

any democratic politician saying other democrats are talking about “pronouns” too much is laundering republican bigotry and lying to you to try and appear more moderate than democrats at large

Don't watch The State of the Union tomorrow.

Donald cares more about his ratings than whether Barron gets leukemia.

By invading Iran, which he already defeated last year, President Trump will destroy the nuclear arsenal built with $1.7 billion in crypto from Binance, whose founder he pardoned and brought to Mar-a-Lago. It's 4D chess that the Democrat Party couldn't begin to comprehend.

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights

for some reason the left (goldman sachs) refuses to take AI seriously

Don Huffines, candidate for Texas Comptroller, and owner of Zorro Ranch (formerly owned by Jeffrey Epstein), previously tried to primary Greg Abbott from the right.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 13 [1936]. Movie Czar Will Hays has banned the filming of a picture based on Sinclair Lewis’ novel “It Can’t Happen Here,” Lewis revealed today. The author said Hays was afraid the film might offend Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini or the Republican Party, “which might win the next elections.” (By United Press)
