it's gonna be really fucking funny if this ruling gets upheld and California is still allowed to proceed with its new maps.

So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?

Lord help me if this bubble ends up killing Oracle it might have all been for something

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time getting over that the owner of the NY Times is in the Epstein files thing and they haven't even acknowledged this in any reporting.

Can the bar get lower? If you find yourself in the position of defending someone because they were with underage kids but not THAT underage, you've lost. Pack it up.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Exactly what it says on the label: The Pope in 1982. He's wearing a black hat, dark RayBans, and looks like he's a member of the Blues Brothers.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Catherine my good bitch you guys are the only ones who do not know where the Republicans stand

10 years ago : blockchain is the future of banking. if you don't understand you're an idiot

5 years ago : you're a dumbass if you dont get in on the ground level of the nft-do-not-copy.jpg

Now : you don't understand the stock market. NVIDIA can only grow until it's the only company in the world

the democrats over years have intentionally tried to cultivate a base of suburban home owning high engagement liberals who watch a lot of TV news and can and will max out an ActBlue donation and never considered once that they too might one day start to notice patterns of behavior

Dealer: alright everyone ante up

Chuck Schumer: I fold

Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet

Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.

Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.

He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

Hey @durbin.senate.gov, PLEASE don’t cave to Trump. There is no “middle ground” when it comes to millions losing their health insurance!!

I will not only blame the Senate Democrats who are caving. I will blame them all. They needed to keep their ranks in order. If this happens, it's the most spineless political retreat imaginable and it will harm millions upon millions of Americans. Chickenshit, self-neutering nonsense. Cowards.

Hey @democrats.senate.gov - why would any of us ever vote for any of you again?

Really love that the sandwich guy was on video whipping a sandwich at a CBP officer and right away was like "damn right I did that shit, I hit that pig with a sandwich" and the Justice Department tried to bigfoot the case and couldn't even get him on a misdemeanor because fuck you

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Man who threw sandwich at federal agent in D.C. found not guilty of misdemeanor after trial A man who was charged with throwing a sandwich at a federal agent was found not guilty of one count of misdemeanor assault by a jury in Washington, D.C.

I want to live long enough to see all the post-NDA documentaries detailing how this guy never did any serious work at literally any point

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’
