I dunno if people appreciate the reason the entire financial sector isn't in freefall is because they are saying "luckily this will be short-lived because if this war actually goes on *insert apocalyptic screaming*" and like my brothers in christ
Protests and pushback against data centers have delayed or blocked $98 billion in spending since 2024, even as tech companies spend millions on campaign-style ads touting their benefits.
Truly and genuinely appreciate the coverage and hoping for the best as we move into tomorrow, an extremely crucial day!

Idk why people are still questioning how the US could have bombed a school when Israel has been doing that the entire genocide and the Western world did nothing of substance to stop that.
It’s one of Zionism’s (global, not just Israel) favored tactics to use against Muslim states.
Obtuse?
This one was easy and super quick as a result, along with the other liberals in the comments backing up his bullshit
"the genocide people" aka the people angry about the democrats arming a genocide. good lord
So if using AI actually does erode human cognition the way studies suggest, then it's a feature instead of a bug?
The world is gross enough without "take away people's ability to think so we can sell it back to them" being on the list.
I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...
Watch this clip.
Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.
You don't fucking say.
Tell Democrats in Congress to Insist That Schumer and Jeffries Step Aside: rootsaction.org/schumer-jeff...
This was one of the most heartbreaking things I've read out of the industry recently. Imagine being so involved in making something so great and then having someone say this shit to you. Fuck AAA. I hope we look back on the AAA system one day with the same ire as we do the Hollywood studio system.
No joke, telling someone if their game fails to make a unrealistic profit margin, a bunch of your colleagues will have their livliehoods ruined and it'll be on you is basically the same as telling someone kys. Same outcome in any person with a shred of humanity in them.
Hiiiii, feel free to keep deaf people out of this! So sick of the condescension disguised as faux concern about how disabled people "need" AI. We don't. Autocaptions are almost always very bad, and then people like you use their existence to justify taking away actual accommodations that work.
#CoreCivic profits from human suffering. They are among the largest for-profit corporations in the detention-industrial complex (DIC).

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.
Mainstream media: nothing
Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.
Mainstream media: nothing.
This is what extreme media bias looks like.
Logan Hullinger left behind a mountain of writing about drug prohibition and harm reduction in Baltimore.
To memorialize Logan, I put together this thread highlighting 10 articles he wrote for Mobtown Redux, @baltimorebeat.bsky.social, and Scalawag.

Israel has issued a forced displacement order for residents south of the Zahrani River, driving even more people out of an expanding area of southern #Lebanon. More than 800,000 Lebanese have already been forced to flee their homes and villages.
Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention “believes that the U.S. is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. & globally”
Trans people existing is more important than eating at chili's or watching Harry Potter on HBO. I have no problem throwing all these companies in the dustbin
Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.
A young girl is knocked over at Tokyo crossing – what’s behind Japan’s ‘bumping’ trend?
No to another Paramount job. Am I going to be the only writer out on the dance floor here or does anyone else want to join me?
🚨REMINDER: Israel NEVER signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and REFUSES international inspections of its nuclear facilities.
Iran HAS signed the treaty and CONSISTENTLY allowed inspectors to review, who all said they had 0 weapons.
Hugh Jackman is probably worse than Chris Pratt politics-wise, he just is more talented so people choose to ignore it. The guy just sang at Rupert Murdoch's birthday party, his god-father to his kids and is bezzie mates with Ivanka Trump.
