this is so fucking gross i don’t even have words to process how fucking gross it is

The most cogent walk-through of the Ellison takeover of Paramount I've read.

A large handmade sign reading “public safety” in capital letters in a park that has been fenced to prevent anyone at all from enjoying it. It’s a beautiful sunny day in Seattle by the way.

The other side of the same handmade sign, this one reading “mission accomplished”

🫡 the anon hero responsible for this.

absolutely brutal

‪From “THEY’RE VIOLENTLY CAMPING OUT, SEND THE SWAT TEAM” to “where are the young protestors doing peaceful civil disobedience to stop authoritarianism 🥺‬”

Pretty incredible own goal by liberal institutions and many Democratic electeds to crush the exact type of protests in 2024 that would’ve been the most effective way to slow or stop ICE incursions into American cities in 2025

keysmashbandit @keysmashbandit • Oct 3 In China they would just build the solar farms or whatever and not whine about it ... unusual whales @unusual_whales • Oct 3 "Sam Altman's OpenAl will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined," per FORTUNE RKing @ryanssking1 Some #'s suggest 1600TWH, we use 4020TWH a year in the US. But electricity is only 2.5% of GDP, this suggests Al gets powered by only .625% of GDP allocation of resources. Labor requires about 10% of GD (food.) Al doesn't add to traffic, need clothing or housing, etc. Very little added productivity required to justify feeding it with that electricity as such a small % of GDP. The whole "more power than X city" is a useless metric. What do we get in return for the power and what does the power cost relative to the gain? 5:47 PM • Oct 4, 2025 • 152 Views

ai boosters on the bad site are fucking wild. "AI's electricity only takes 1/16th the amount of GDP that we spend on labor (food/all human existence). even if it were useless it's so much more efficient than us meatbags, gotta bump those numbers up and replace human existence with AI!"

A jaw-droppingly stupid meeting of the minds.

Bill Maher: "Critical race theory" explains how the left thinks about the Middle east.

Van Jones: No, no -- pro-Gaza sentiment can be explained by Qatar and Iran hijacking TikTok with a secret campaign to ... show us dead children in Gaza.

remember when we were a real country with vaguely #resist corporations www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJCc...

it has been 18 hours since trump ordered israel to stop bombing gaza to implement the “peace plan” and predictably israel has yet to cease its bombing of gaza.

trump then followed up and made it seem like israel has stopped its operations on the strip.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away.

A completely needless tragedy.

Bruce Harrell has gotten very good at talking about progressive things that happened in the city despite his administration and touting them as if he had anything to do with them

Ezra Klein is Wrong About Abortion Abortion *is* a big tent issue

To single out abortion as the place for compromise is to ignore the political reality of the last three years.

And in a moment when the stakes are so high—as women are literally dying—being both confidently wrong and hugely influential is straight up dangerous. jessica.substack.com/p/ezra-klein...

This headline from Politico is incorrect and feeds into anti-abortion scare tactics: doctors aren't 'anonymously' prescribing abortion pills - their name just isn't publicly visible on the pill bottle.

Seeing Canadians on Reddit widely disparage postal workers and the union for striking (to maintain home delivery that Canada Post wants to end) and talk about how they’d rather mail just be killed off is wild. Americans would never, even the average GOP-voter loves their mail carrier and USPS

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident.

Release Steve Held.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

The intense Israeli forces offensive in Gaza City, Palestine, is putting our staff and patients at risk. • The unacceptable level of risk has led us to reluctantly decide to suspend our lifesaving activities in Gaza City. • Israeli authorities must immediately guarantee unhindered access and security for humanitarian organisations operating in Gaza City. GAZA - The relentless Israeli offensive in Gaza City, Palestine, has forced Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to suspend vital medical activities in the area due to the rapidly deteriorating security situation. The situation includes continued airstrikes and advancing tanks less than one kilometre from our healthcare facilities. The escalating attacks from Israeli forces have created an unacceptable level of risk for our staff, forcing us to suspend lifesaving medical activities. "We have been left with no choice but to stop our activities, as our clinics are encircled by Israeli forces," says Jacob Granger, MSF Emergency Coordinator in Gaza. "This is the last thing we wanted, as the needs in Gaza City are enormous, with the most vulnerable people - infants in neo-natal care, those with severe injuries and life-threatening illnesses - unable to move and in grave danger." While large numbers of people have fled south due to evacuation orders, there are still hundreds of thousands of pople in Gaza City, who are unable to leave and have no other option but to stay. Those who are able to leave face an impossible choice: either remain in Gaza City under intense military operations and the deterioration of law and order, or abandon what's left of their houses, their belongings, and their memories, to move to areas where humanitarian conditions are rapidly collapsing.

At the same time, partially functional hospitals across the Strip are overwhelmed due to severe shortages of staff, supplies, and fuel. Patients also face enormous obstacles reaching care, often arriving late and in critical condition. Last week alone, and despite the mounting offensive, our clinics in Gaza City carried out over 3,640 consultations and treated 1,655 people with malnutrition. We have also treated patients with severe trauma injuries, burns, as well as pregnant women and others requiring ongoing medical care who are unable to leave the city. This shows the scale of medical needs. Although we have been forced to suspend our activities in Gaza City, we aim to continue supporting key services in Ministry of Health facilities, including Al-Helou and Al-Shifa hospitals, while they continue to function. Access to and the provision of safe drinking water, food, shelter and care is increasingly restricted. People in Gaza City have been repeatedly and relentlessly bombed. They are exhausted and are being deliberately deprived of the essentials needed to survive. We call for an immediate halt to the violence and concrete measures at the necessary scale to protect civilians. Israeli authorities must immediately guarantee unhindered access and security for humanitarian organisations operating in Gaza City, and acceptable conditions for the safe and sustained delivery of medical care and humanitarian aid, conditions that are clearly not in place today.

Horrific: Doctors Without Borders is suspending medical work in Gaza City due to Israel's violence, including airstrikes & tanks less than 1KM from their facilities.

~40% of Hepatitis B infections are caught in childhood. It is contagious enough that it can be spread just from sharing common household objects.

The chance of chronic infection (ie does not clear, and is associated with high rates of liver failure and cancer) ranges from 50%-90% in this age group.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for.

But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem
