Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

$20,000 rav1d AV1 Decoder Performance Bounty In March of 2023 we announced that we were starting work on a safer high performance AV1 decoder called rav1d, written in Rust. We partnered with Immunant to do the engineering work. By September of 2...

We created a safer AV1 decoder, rav1d, by forking the dav1d decoder and rewriting the C code in Rust. It works great except our Rust is 5% slower than the C. We're not sure why so we're offering a $20k bounty to figure it out and make the Rust code faster. www.memorysafety.org/blog/rav1d-p...

the fact of the matter is some people do not want to see black people in media and we all need to ignore them and continue to make black art because at the end of the day, they were never going to buy or support it either way.

”white supremacist book purge” is exactly right. it goes along with the segregationist purge of the service academies.

This needs to die in the Senate, or it’ll be used to try and cheat in elections for the GOP.

This administration is evil.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

Respondents emphasize that Abrego Garcia was improperly removed to El Sal- vador because, although he could be removed anywhere else in the world under a 2019 order of removal, that order granted statutory withholding of removal to El Sal- vador alone. But, while the United States concedes that removal to El Salvador was an administrative error, see App., infra, 60a, that does not license district courts to seize control over foreign relations, treat the Executive Branch as a subordinate dip- lomat, and demand that the United States let a member of a foreign terrorist organ- ization into America tonight. For starters, because MS-13 members such as Abrego Garcia have since been designated members of a foreign terrorist organization, they are no longer eligible for withholding of removal under 8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)(B). Fur- ther, the United States has ensured that aliens removed to CECOT in El Salvador will not be tortured, and it would not have removed any alien to El Salvador for such detention if doing so would violate its obligations under the Convention Against Tor- ture. Moreover, respondents treat the relief here as “routine,” Resp. C.A. Stay Opp. 1, but that relief goes far beyond merely facilitating an alien’s return, which is what courts have ordered in other cases. This order—and its demand to accomplish sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return to- night—is unprecedented and indefensible.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Seattle says Hands Off.

Democracy, let's go. It ain't just at the ballot box.

One of the many downsides of the Democratic leadership being primarily composed of septua- and octogenarians is that it’s really hard to get them to consider a victory condition that doesn’t amount to “we go back to our normal schedule and people stop yelling at me.”

The Proud Boys and Militias Come to Tesla’s Defense After weeks of “Tesla Takedown” protests, the Proud Boys and other far-right extremist groups are showing up to back Elon Musk's beleaguered car company.

Last weekend, the so-called “Tesla Shield” came out to defend Elon Musk’s car company after weeks of “Tesla Takedown” protests.

Guess who that group included? Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, a guy dressed as Hitler.

“Mom, dad, why did the global economic crash of 2025 start?”

“Well, you see, in 2012, a media critic started a video series about gender tropes in video games…”

A lot of "post-left" personalities like Brand claim they were pushed away from the left but were in fact drawn to the right as a means of escaping accountability for their own actions

Apple CEO Tim Cook at Trump's second inauguration

CNN quote saying Apple stock plunged 9% the day of Trump's tariff announcement, and 6.9% the next day

How it started / how it's going

Sycophants gonna get sick when Trump sics tariffs on 'em.

The "maybe" makes this post. Who knows? You MIGHT be right.

i feel like im watching my 11 yr old nephew play civ on the hardest difficulty setting

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

Who was behind Brexit and the wrecking of Britain:

Putin and Bannon

Who is behind Trump and the wrecking of the USA:

Putin and Bannon

Same plot, same destruction of trade deals, same crashing of the economy, ruination of businesses, same old, same old.

Yep. Welcome to Stupidityville, American friends.

Going on our arc with Brexiters, expect the evolution of Trump supporters to take this path:

"Actually, I know exactly what I voted for."
"5D chess."
"Fuck it. It hurts the libs."
"Look, there must be some sort of plan."
"OMG there's no plan."

The Wall Street Journal Why 46% for Vietnam but 17% for Israel? The surprisingly simple math behind Trump's tariffs

This is how a once-respected financial publication is framing the singularly ludicrous and false rationale for the single most ill-conceived and destructive financial policy decision in US history.

8 "Deadpool's Guide to Super Villians" trading cards fanned out on a table. The top one is Kraven the Hunter.

My daughter made her own Squirrel Girl costume! She designed the tail, bought the fabric, cut, sewed, and filled it, and made the belt and straps for it. She also 3D-printed the slingshot, emblem, belt buckle, & acorns, & made a bunch of DPGTSV trading cards.
