This truth has always been in my soul, I kept pushing it down with useless acts of protesting and posting resistance.

Wake me up when there’s something worthwhile to do, because it’s all pretty pointless from this place.

Peace out.

Music has shaped who I am since childhood. I love & listen to multiple genres & regularly go to live performances. The feeling you get when you hear a song you connect with is life affirming. Something needs to be done to protect us & them from Ticketmaster, Live Nation, AI, etc.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

Q: Why are my electricity bills going up?

A: You are likely (a) in a region impacted by Trump tariffs and retaliatory price hikes in electricity from Canada, or (b) in a region subsidizing billionaire-owned data farms for AI or crypto mining.

It’s not because of immigrants or drag queens.

Artillery Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marines’ Celebration, California Officials Say

So this is what happened with JD’s San Diego stunt. Firing artillery over civilian areas not a hot idea. OTOH, everyone was focused on No Kings and hardly anyone noticed. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

Cook’s illustrated is just the place for this drama to be as poignant as it’s presented.

This never would’ve happened under Christopher Kimball’s watch, but then again he was a proper twat to all that worked with him.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

The long black overcoat will never not remind me of columbine, even with Bowie.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

Sam Altman (@sama) We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Translation: After we built an addictive tool based on stolen data, exploited labor and plundering the environment, which pushes kids to commit suicides, we were like, why not cash in on "erotica"? After all, this is what building so-called AGI that "benefits humanity" looks like.

“In promising to terminate the informant arrangements, Justice Dept. officials say Rubio threatened to undercut years of work by US law enforcement to apprehend and secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of MS-13, one of the world’s most deadly gangs.”

@nicolefoy.bsky.social is the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

She did it because the government isn’t.

This is what she found.

Joel Webbon Young men are waking up. Women will learn to have a quiet and gentle spirit or they will learn to be alone.

Or they'll makeout with each other and order Chinese.

I take no pleasure in this but going to a different city with your dumb buddies and getting badly injured because you antagonized a bunch of strangers and fell down twice chasing the 110lb teenager who stole your sunglasses actually is North Jersey Excellence, of a sort.

This NYC kid gets it

Russians started a human safari in Pokrovsk too. Videos are just civilians getting slaughtered under the surveillance of a drone. This will obviously not make it to headlines but please don’t let russians kill in silence

My feelings, exactly.

A driver intentionally drove their car up on the curb to hit a protester in Ohio yesterday.

This is the protester’s reaction, broken leg and all.

You may break our bones, but you will not break our spirit.

This wasn’t that long ago…

A reporter asking white folks in 1964 what they thought about the Civil Rights Act. And the answers are just 🤦🏽‍♂️

Ask the Germans what happens after the Regime falls.

Anyone who works for Homeland Security should be very worried about what comes next.

Ever seen a Stasi get shot in the head in broad daylight and nobody caring?

I have.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements
