Since Trump was elected, this is what his “booming economy" looks like:
- Billionaires became $1.5 trillion richer

Meanwhile:
- 60% live paycheck to paycheck
- 15 million are losing health care
- 20 million saw their premiums double

The best people in my life have been Trans people. Their presence is a truth so immutable, a depth of awareness so vast, I could never imagine returning to how I had lived previously to them sharing it with me. If you do not have Trans people's backs right now, then I will never have your back, ever

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."

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Woo! Friday night! 🎉🥂🍾 Tonight we’re going to party until the crack of, “I’m a little tired.”

No more showers, y’all! We need the water for the inaccuracy machines!

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

Never forget today, when, on this day in 1988, Zero Cool crashed 1,507 systems in one day.

Fuckin’ sick

When i see a take, be it on something important or not, I have a little kneejerk "Oh, what do I think of that?" and letting that part of myself rest has been incredible. I wasn't thinking about that before, must not have been that important. Planning to keep this up. I'll check back in a week.

A shitty map created by ChatGPT5. it purports to be US States with an R in their name, but it's wrong and dumb and worthless just like LLMs.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

hard to fully explain this for the visually impaired but it’s a map of the US where most states are color-coded in yellow, some are colored in blue, and most are labeled with ENGLISH or SPANISH or a recognizable misspelling of one of those words. a few states are labeled with something more incomprehensible, or not labeled

took a bit of coaxing but i got chatgpt 5 to label (almost) every US state with the most spoken language there

I hear Portlanders are drawing chalk balls and dicks around potholes they want fixed in the street... and I want to encourage this behavior nationwide.

"Just don't think about it!" and "Don't tie your identity to your job!" are excellent pieces of advice if you have the ability to turn off the "I CARE ABOUT THIS" switch in your brain!! I don't even know where the breaker box is for that shit, man!!!!!
