never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

"retail theft" is such a spectacular lie of post-pandemic reality-creation. it gave cover for companies to expand the surveillance state, raise their prices, and close stores in slightly less profitable areas, conveniently turning the actual solution (hire more employees) into a total non sequitur

it's awesome how much money grocery chains are willing to spend on Theft Deterring Infrastructure like chest high traffic gates and "AI"-augmented cameras and riot-geared rentacops, but they absolutely refuse to pay for more than one cashier to man their four dusty checkout lanes at any given time.

Gemini told him to commit an act of terrorism at the Miami airport to intercept a delivery of a large humanoid robot body for it, telling him to "to stage a “catastrophic accident”, with the goal of “ensuring complete destruction of the transport vehicle … all digital records and witnesses"

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Nice!

Uhhhhhhhhhhh. What?

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*.

Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%.

(Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.)

Context:

They let ICE arrest their employees in Minneapolis. Why the fuck would I ever shop there again??

even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power!

Is there some sort of race to see which company can ruin their entire business model and decimate their user base the fastest for the AI grift, or something...?

Are you being sarcastic?

I wonder what led to the airspace closures

Honestly, the vibe shift from the first 24 hours of Shock and Awe is surreal. Complete decapitation of an entire state with Donald's aura of invincibility immediately shattered by the "uh... Now what?" afterwards.

Shock and Uh.

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

Trump Administration Abandons Efforts to Impose Orders on Law Firms

Can’t imagine why anyone would hire any of the law firms that settled with the administration when the attacks have been proven to be so illegal. If they can’t defend themselves in a point of law. Are they really going to defend you?

David Ellison Unveils Sweeping Vision for Warner Bros: “This Is About Reinventing the Business” HBO Max and Paramount+ will be merged when the deal closes, the mogul told Wall Street early Monday morning.

yes, nothing says "innovation reinvention" like a nepobaby trust fund brat with no meaningful experience being gifted a massive hollywood empire by his technofascist dad, who leveraged his corrupt influence over the country's pudding-headed autocrats to box out competitors (?)

a black and white photo of a man with the words i think it would be fun to run a newspaper Alt: This is a clip from Citizen Kane. The character Walter Parks Thatcher (played by George Coulouris) is quoting Charles Foster Kane with anger and disgust. Kane's words were "I think it would be fun to run a newspaper."

Our free press has fallen into the hands of men who saw Citizen Kane and mistook "I think it would be fun to run a newspaper" for good advice.

Don't buy a media company if you don't want to run a *media* company. If you're afraid to tell messy stories about the ugly truth, buy another boat instead.

Thanks, but I’m gonna keep wokemaxxing with Lucky Charms

The phrase “every conservative influencer in the business” tells you everything you need to know.

The entire modern conservative movement descends from snake oil salesmen and prosperity gospel revival tent preachers.

It’s nothing more than a con, and that’s all it will ever be.

Non-zero chance Matt “changes his mind” on this issue.

that dumbfuck still has absolutely no idea that the rest of his presidency will be about this war and only about this war

Well you see, since they could defend themselves, we attacked them. Makes perfect sense.
