I kinda get that this isn't how this works, but given the fact that the executive branch has made it clear that they won't follow judicial orders they don't like, someone should just release the thing.

If they create a precedent that orders are optional, then they live in the world that creates.

I mean in an abstract sense I get the concept. But in a practical sense I just cannot imagine why I would ever do it for anyone ever.

β€œLike and subscribe” is a mantra these people Putin everything and I just can’t picture someone being like β€œyep, that’s a thing I’ve gotta do”

I’m an old tho.

Kinda unrelated but the entire concept of subscribing to a YouTube channel is baffling to me.

it is deeply funny watching a subset of this site realize AOC is a devout Catholic

This is beside the point but every post that’s like β€œdeclaratory sentence (paragraph break) declaratory sentence (paragraph break) single word” is char gpt, right?

What about consumers who paid a courier? Like I had to give DHL $40 to get something I ordered. do I get a check as a random individual?

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

Unfortunately this requires stove touching, but these people must be made to touch the stove with their faces. I fear it’s the only way they might possibly learn.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

In other words, like most AI hype β€” it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Bizarrely (or I guess par for the course for this lunatic) he routinely exercises in jeans in front of cameras. Like it’s his thing.

Literally the only thing I know about Tyler Austin Harper is that he posted this nonsense take in defense of electing Trump 2. His entire identity is nonsense apologia.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

There's more:

Is Trump dangerous? 43% of Republicans have no opinion.
Honest? 44% have no opinion.
Corrupt? 43% have no opinion.
Out-of-touch? 49% have no opinion.

They know who he is. They just don't want to admit it.

the set point of "anticpate[s] their viewer's gaze" makes me... uh... really uneasy given the priorities of many viewers' gaze.

you have to vote for the democrat in november 2028.

any other option - voting republican, not voting, voting third party - is completely and totally morally unacceptable and should result in your expulsion from polite society

it's possible that Spanberger hates these people enough she could actually do a one-term 'burn the crops and salt the fields' demolition on the GOP. the memes from the tribunals would be tremendous

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.
