I guess leading with "WTF he blew up girl's school its impeachment time" wasn't on the table for Schumer.

Hey folks, I hadn't thought of it in these terms, but protesting planned AI data centers in your local area *could literally bring the entire fascist house of cards down*, b/c the big fascist tech cos have bet HEAVY on AI, but the demand ain't happening so their $100s of billions of Nvidia chips...

He is that stupid, but his rubes are aligned.

Shame on other Dems for not joining them.

Hey Bucks when I said I wanted less gambling ads I meant crypto too.

I hope that the people who wrote the "this is Trump's chance to change directions!" pieces have also written their "look at the new tone he took!" followup for tonight and the inevitable "well, looks like I fell for it again" piece for tomorrow morning

This is fascinating.

YIMBY uber alles!

Big Tech Helped Elon Musk Meet Jeffrey Epstein Four Times After Conviction Despite what they claim, Silicon Valley's most powerful founders knew they were meeting, dining and emailing with a convicted sex offender and were told to keep quiet about it

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse. Jason CO @jasonc_nc. 2/8/25 I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist. • 24 L7 1.8K 15K Ill 399K ... Max Dubler @maxdubler True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

holy shit. they're so stupid that they're creating an entire generation of Millennial Dad John Browns.

Wasn't coke, dude just mistook some of the talcum powder that fell off of Drumpf's diaper.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Trump set to gut U.S. climate change policy and environmental regulations: White House official The Trump administration is expected this week to revoke a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change accordi...

From skimming through discussions about this, I've concluded that a lot of people don't account for the fact that (at least ideally) *everybody's* speed would be limited. It's true that it would be annoying if you were the only person whose speed was capped, but I think that's what many envision.

Jesus fucking Christ, @schumer.senate.gov, just SHUT THE FUCK UP. You’re useless, spineless, worthless. Every time you open your mouth you damage the country and make Trump stronger. Resign as the Democratic leader in the Senate. And. Just. Stop. Talking. FOREVER. You fucking Vichy Democrat.

One thing that is on my mind this morning: There is a dangerous counterfactual attack on e-bikes all across the US right now and there are no bike companies or bike orgs pushing back with clear storytelling to combat it. A multi-billion dollar industry without a clear comms strategy.

Win or lose, the Bucks are fun to watch tonight.

Mississippi AI Identity Bill Would Protect Right to One’s Own Likeness, Voice A bill that would give Mississippians legal protections over their name, likeness and voice has advanced in the Mississippi Senate.

People would have the right to sue for the unauthorized, AI-generated use of their likeness, voice or name under a bipartisan bill that's currently advancing through the Mississippi Legislature.

It'd establish a property right over one's own identity.

This @volts.wtf pod is so good I listened twice! However I realized it has one fatal flaw. They fail to ask the critical question - what if the reactionary centrists are right?

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Notice we haven’t come to a truth reckoning re our favorite 60s 70s rock bands

Senator, the only power you have over this rogue President is the power to withhold money. Do NOT pass this spending bill without a provision to end ICE and fire Stephen Miller. If this bill passes with ICE intact, Dems will be as responsible as Republicans for the next ICE atrocities.

Senator if you allow this bill to pass with ICE intact you will be co-signing the next murders they commit

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.

In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

I hate this but on strategy and viciousness I really need Democrats to listen to Bill Kristol, Conway, and some of the Lincoln Project guys. Don't let them set the policy, but listen to how they would implement it

As bad as today's Washington Post is sometimes, it is also sometimes great. Sports and Foreign are some of the best things they do. Bezos should give the Post to a nonprofit instead of destroying it. #SavethePost presswatchers.org/2024/10/the-...
