God, what have you done
You're a No Homers girl
And you dance at the club
Oh, we're allowed to have one
We let in Homer Glumplett
It's where he belongs

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Man this ad is hilarious. The ad for ChatGPT is that it’s a way to give you a vague way to not give up on running? This is why you assholes need $100 billion? This is why you owe Oracle $300 billion?

If it’s officially a ceasefire these are all murders surely

In Australia's tinpot civil society, 'power speech' is on the cusp of defeating free speech Free speech in Australia is under attack from multiple directions. And its assailant is power speech: the right of the powerful to dictate terms to and attack those with less power.

"Power speech is especially important for News Corp, because its entire business model is based on fostering hate and resentment among white people toward an array of targets...while its targets’ capacity to punch back must be curtailed." #auspol

This is what Bari Weiss et al think "censorship" actually is; when subordinates criticize their superiors. That has been the bedrock of the entire "cancel culture" discourse in elite media; rage at the idea that students, women, journalists, interns, etc might be able to speak against the boss.

an extremely new soy right, mouth gaping, i-see-what-you-did-there reddit way to be racist - @maxread.info called it

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

Who up widening they gyre

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance.

I wouldn’t get my thrill on blueberry hill because I’m not an easily excited loser

Bitcoin

BitTorrent

If I went there but for the grace of god I would be fine

The level of racism required to liken the first fleet to the first missions going to Mars - a plant with no life whatsoever- is off the charts

An EXTREMELY common rich person belief is "publishing a negative story about me is illegal." The law says they are wrong but considering the state of things right now don't be surprised if that starts to change.

Anti-semitism will not be tolerated in any form. Except for the most famous form of all time. That one is probably a coincidence

The Slop Society In the last week we've seen the emergence of the true Meta — and the true Mark Zuckerberg — as the company ended its fact-checking program, claiming that (and I quote) "fact checkers have been too pol...

Newsletter: Mark Zuckerberg's MAGA pivot is really just the continuation of years of rotting out the core products of Instagram and Facebook - and begins an era of unrestrained, unrepentant growth where tech will proudly make their products even worse.

top notch thread, non-anthro here who always enjoys tim's writing

Getting ahead of the AI pronoun discourse to firmly stand on the side of "it". It is not a he or a she or they. It is not only un-human but inhuman, anti-human. Do not honor it with personhood

Reminder that we didn't win the similar long fight over seatbelt usage by gently persuading skeptical anti seatbelt people with empathetic outreach, or by having cops write tickets, but by having manufacturers make cars do a little annoying beep if you didn't wear it.

Everyone’s talking about how the AI bots made by Meta are bad, but just a reminder you can make your own Meta AI chatbot right inside Messenger and there’s definitely no problems there
