So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

The GOP is a Russian asset.

It's almost as if being a feral, cynical, latchkey kid is an unhealthy way to grow up...

Into the Right-Wing Dreamworld DHS’s Regime of Images

The Drift's senior slop correspondent @mitchtherieau.bsky.social wrote a piece for our new issue on the phantasmic visual output of the Trump administration. In honor of AI-Jesusgate, we're sharing it with you today. www.thedriftmag.com/into-the-rig...

A doctor costume, honestly, not Jesus…

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself.

a man in a suit says let them fight in front of a group of soldiers ALT: a man in a suit says let them fight in front of a group of soldiers

This is all anyone needs to say:

If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

This insane asshole has been doing nothing but crimes since the day he took office, you're the only branch of government with the power to remove him and you're not even going to try because it might not work? Why are you even there? To feel important and do insider trading?

I do that all the time...

Whenever Poochie's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Poochie?"

In a way, Jesus is still being crucified today by not only the Government but also the Church. Not the man. The message. Read: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/04/it-i...

Amazing how quickly the “party of small government” has morphed into the party of “imperiously all up in everyone’s shit all the time.”

Finally a reason to click "like" in this thread.

Refusing to accept big tech's AI-poisoned 'future of journalism' Humans, however flawed, are

New — I wrote about how journalists proudly using AI to help them write their stories obscures the deeply human process that makes journalism a societal necessity, and one that feeds the soul of those who create it.

Hope you’ll give it a read. I promise I wrote the whole thing.

Could be worse. We could have had a woman president.

They’re absolutely conditioning us to having ICE around before they start putting ICE at polling places

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time
