empty seats can't melt supreme court justices

disagree strongly with Michael on this. instead of building safety mechanisms into cars we should be giving pedestrians publicly funded lessons in watching out

the final scene of the zone of interest, in which the main character, the nazi who ran auschwitz, stands in an empty dark hall next to a stairwell and looks off into the black, and sees the modern day holocaust museum, and understands for a brief moment how he will be remembered

right, this isn’t a real political epiphany. it’s people distancing themselves from something they knowingly supported because they can now see how wildly unpopular, if not outright reviled, it is.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

bruh we talk about a decade of humiliation and economic ruin lead to Germany embracing naziism and then it's like what was our national humiliation? we elected a black guy president

some incredible responses to this

people have a huge blind spot to the negative health impacts of the way things are today and they have a lot of creative ways to rationalize it

there are several, but the big one would be cormac mccarthy

just let gargamel have the smurfs. who cares

I am begging liberals to understand the msm is our adversary as much as the right. They don’t care about “doing better.” They’re on the team trying to do us in.

The mainstream media is going to regurgitate the administration’s propaganda that money is pouring in via tariffs, it is on all of us to loudly tell the truth and constantly repeat it: This is a tax on working families that is destroying the growing economy he inherited.

this was true until like 24 hours ago when Will Stancil entered the fight

i think someone immediately responding that AI is 100% evil with zero benefit is a good example of what i mean when i say too AI skeptical. if you’re framework for this can be devastated by one person being like “i use it to summarize stuff at work” you’re probably a bit over your skis

An AI Clone of Dave Rubin Is Taking Over His Youtube Show While Dave Rubin vacation, his right-wing YouTube show The Rubin Report will carry on—thanks to an AI clone.

“AI can’t replicate the human brain” actually that depends on which human brain

many people in my replies with just unbridled moron opinions but despite your best efforts you’re still not as annoying as the pro-AI people

fwiw, since some folks are bothered by the phrasing, what I mean by “too AI skeptical” isn’t that people are too *opposed* to AI but that I’ll often see people boosting claims that are very obviously not true (e.g. that LLMs have zero use cases), which i think undermines the many valid critiques

it’s true imo that the median bluesky user is a little too AI skeptical but we also get none of the slack jawed sycophants posting shit like “gpt-5 just revolutionized how we manage our nanny.” ultimately a good trade.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

There's probably a French word for what I experienced reading his posts today, but this version of Andrew Cuomo is what Trump would've sounded like for the last ten years had people in positions of power shut him out of public life instead of enabling him.

and let me be clear that if my wife does identify as a zombie, it changes nothing. I’m no ZERF.

my wife inadvertently self-identified as a zombie

how many times do we have to speak the obvious out loud:

consumer-facing "A.i." tools are made by right wing billionaires who can literally turn up the racism and bigotry dial. grok went nazi. trump is pushing to make "A.i." anti-"woke."

embed "A.i." in education and you give nazis access to kids

I had a guy do that to me outside of a bar not too long ago. And every time I was like "Yeah dude we're on the same page, I'm not arguing with you"

He'd scoff, roll his eyes & continue

Munching really do just be woke gender binarism

"What if we showed you the part of this world the painter deliberately chose not to show you? Wouldn't that be fascinating? A dark street with some lampposts? Wouldn't you dry up a lake to see that?"

yeah I think that’s exactly what this post is doing but it totally doesn’t work with his other posts. message discipline of a fruit fly.

"Mohran Zamdani" is better than this whole post

lol this is nuts! in one post he’s calling Zohran a rich guy who wants to steal from the poor, and then he’s also like “don’t forget I come from a dynasty”

pick a lane!

the thing to take from Cuomo—a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albany—having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.
