there is simply no possible case for continued support for Israel and there has not been for quite some time

a genocidal regime behaving with utter impunity, unconstrained by even the pretense of international law

Three screen caps from the movie Hackers with text. First screen cap: Protagonist Dade (Zero Cool) explains that “I’ve got a record. I was Zero Cool.” Second screen, his friends explain: Zero Cool crashed 1507 systems in one day. Biggest crash in history. Third screen, another friend says: Front page New York Times August 10, 1988

HACK THE PLANET!!! Happy Zero Cool Day to all who celebrate!

I don’t know how to break this to you, but Cory Booker endorsed Michael Bloomberg for NYC mayor and reached out to support Eric Adams after he won a the democratic primary

We tried vibe coding it was called dreamweaver

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

The incident, which happened under Eric Adams’ tenure, sure looks bad for a candidate who is not currently in charge of New York City

Screenshot of text: [Highlighting begins] But the shooting may put concerns over gun violence back on voters’ minds, and may lead some to further scrutinize Mr. Mamdani, [Highlighting ends] who has relatively limited experience in government and has not handled a high-profile crisis while in office.

One fascinating thing about the most self-serious newspaper in America with its staff of the winning journalistic meritocrats is that it routinely, institutionally publishes completely made-up bullshit speculation about pure abstractions, based on zero reporting, written as if it were plain facts

Please don't plug keyboards or other devices into random USB ports, ok?

r/AmlOverreacting u/AlphaDPS1 • 1d AIO Gf left me because I listen to Jordan Peterson podcast So yeah, my girlfriend broke up with me after finding out I listen to Jordan Peterson sometimes. I don't even agree with everything he says, I just find some stuff entertaining or thought-provoking. She said it was a dealbreaker and that it "says a lot" about me. Am I really the one in the wrong here or is this an overreaction? EDIT: Thank you everyone, I will tell her I have stopped watching him EDIT2: She told me to die

In a fully automated industrial economy, there will still be jobs for fixing and programming robots, which is somehow different from the economy we have today, where engineers make a lot of money and other types of workers don't.

Apparently, inflation is bad, but we must impose tariffs to raise the cost of cheap imports so people buy expensive American goods. We can re-shore manufacturing, but to be cost competitive, we have to fully automate factories, replacing American workers with robots.

I’m Hartzell Gray, and I’m running for Congress in Missouri’s 5th District.

People of my district are being priced out of our homes, locked out of opportunity, and told to wait our turn while politicians protect the same donors and recycle the same tired playbook.

Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for UN food distribution in Gaza as more starve Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is run by Trump evangelicals who are openly killing Palestinians and shouldn’t receive a dime from our government.

You may disagree with "the camps" but since we have them we might as well make them run efficiently. Anything else would be partisan stubbornness

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

I like that a lot. It looks like the shadow around the cards kind of caters to both preferences in a previous post. The cards and text still look aligned, but the shadow makes the cards feel indented just a bit for the visual hierarchy.

sweet joke you just posted on the internet, be a shame if someone took it 100% serious and responded like your grandma on facebook

looks clean to me 👍

To be clear, I prefer the `space-evenly` variant.

dang I came here to say the right one better, but I see I'm outnumbered. I agree that aligning the text makes sense for left, but an indentation from the text showcases hierarchy, and I think the cards look better a bit more compact. Just my 2 cents, I don't think there is a wrong answer honestly.

‘Capitalism Is Theft’: I Followed Zohran Mamdani’s Internet Trail

Mamdani’s internet trail reveals far more than a veneered candidate biography on a website ever could. In tweet after tweet, he calls for the end of the free market, for defunding the police, and for dismantling the prison system, which he describes as the “carceral state.” He champions communism (at least in one jokey photo), stans anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour, calls cops “haram” (the Arabic term for forbidden under Islamic law), and insists that New York should look more like socialist Vienna. As Mamdani moves more into general-election mode as the front-runner to beat—wearing suits, moderating his message, and cozying up to the business community—his digital past offers a rare glimpse of the ideology beneath the polish.

Under capitalism, he wrote, gender equality was “impossible.” The only way forward, in his view, was to decriminalize “both the buying and selling of consensual sex.” In a section titled “Protect Sex Workers and End Violence Against Women and Nonbinary People,” Mamdani rejected the so-called Nordic Model, which makes it illegal to buy sex, but not to sell it. He called that model “untenable.”

Bari Weiss's website assigned a reporter to read every single Zohran Mamdani tweet over the last 18 years and came up with shockingly little dirt.

(Looking around at the country where 13 billionaires have the same amount of wealth as 3.1 billion people and where politics is entirely controlled by private interests) this reminds me of the Soviet Union because I have brain damage

One of the surest proofs of age polarization is that the GOP really does seem to think they have a high card in "Ooh, but what if *Bill Clinton* is in the Epstein files, he's your god!" and a large portion of the lib-left coalition is "Why the fuck should I care about Bill Clinton?"

WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽
