So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Don't say the second when you mean the first.

Even if the worst comes to the worst, unless we're all dead, there's always an "and then." And that "and then" is the rest of our lives, our kids' lives, our grandkids' lives.

There's a particular kind of doomer on here who's like "and then SCOTUS will install him as president for a third term, and the military will back him up" as if that's the end of history.

Friend, there's still an "and then" after that.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

Nice reply "owning" me, unfortunately you parsed 2 levels of irony but missed completely the third, wherein it's clear I'm making fun of the persona your reply intended to critique. That being said I'm still hurt to an almost unimaginable degree

The claim here is that women should be subjected to harassment, assault, and rape by men with impunity for the sake of the comfort of men as a class.

Colonizers like JD Vance will spout ahistorical nonsense about settler colonialism "ending child sacrifice" in the Americas as if his own ideology doesn't feed children into the wood chipper of gun violence every day. Sit the fuck down.

this is still a big backslide - this is an annual vote since 1992, and usually the only opposed votes are USA and Israel, sometimes with up to 2 other nations. 7 votes against is the most opposition this resolution has ever had. also up from ~0-3 abstentions to 12.
