Terrible poll ratings would bother some politicians. Donald Trump isn’t one of them | Arwa Mahdawi A low approval rating will not cause the US president to hang his head in shame. He’s more likely to dig in, writes Arwa Mahdawi

This is remarkable really

A man in India made thousands of dollars scamming 'super dumb' MAGA fans on IG with a fake AI influencer

• Helped pay for his med school

• Tried a liberal version but it didnt work

“Democrats know it’s AI slop .. The MAGA crowd is made up [of] super dumb people. And they fall for it"

It's amazing to me that they manage to keep the plot secret for this long.

In any case, really like this show and can't wait to watch it.

B - Definitely, because it had me collect beer mugs and not shards. 😁😛

The Tonight Show is built to liquify all phenomena into content. Trump, the political reactionary and demagogue, the harbinger of a crisis, was treated not as a threat to democracy or a figure of public concern, but just another wacky celebrity guest willing to play along. Fallon and his show are not horrifying because they are malevolent, actively creating suffering in the world, but because of a thoughtless, systematic refusal to perceive any of their work as having ethical consequences. Trump’s monstrosity becomes merely eccentric, as neoliberal media packaged as entertainment normalizes a failing status quo.

This is such a great encapsulation of the horror of the Tonight Show.

Despite earlier reports, it turns out that no, the Mass Effect TV team wasn't asked to rewrite the show's script in order to make it all "more appealing to non-gamers". https://bit.ly/4tYCWmu

Katherina Reiche: Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche traf bisher keine Naturschutzverbände Vertreter von Umweltverbänden beschreiben das Verhältnis zum Wirtschaftsministerium als außergewöhnlich schlecht. Katherina Reiche empfing bisher mehr Energiekonzerne.

Es könnte sein, dass ich das eventuell schon einmal gesagt habe, aber:

Katherina Reiche ist mit ihrem antiquierten Verständnis von Wirtschaftspolitik und ihrem offensichtlichen Lobbyismus für die fossilen Konzerne eine völlige Fehlbesetzung als Wirtschaftsministerin.

Voyager - Across the Unknown was really awesome, it scratched an itch I didn't even know I have. Couldn't stop playing it after starting. I'm definitely going to play it again in the future. It's like FTL with the Star Trek license. 😁

So many impeachments. So, so many impeachments need to happen before we can move forward.

They are just Shaheds!

They are just Shaheds!
A few days into the U.S.-Iran war, after Iran attacked many of its neighbors, my friend in Kyiv asked her 11-year-old son if he had heard about what was happening. Unworried, he replied they were firing " just Shaheds ," and continued playing his game. Ukrainians by now

Only 90% of what Trump says are lies and made up stories?!? Sounds a bit low to be honest.

We are seeing elevated errors and timeouts on some Bluesky-hosted services, and are investigating.

Das "Wasser predigen und Wein trinken" ist es doch immer, was diese Konservativen ausmacht. Merz ist ja auch öffentlich pro Kernkraft und nutzt privat solar. Es gibt niemanden mehr, der noch im guten Glauben für fossile Energie wirbt - dabei handelt es sich immer um Arglist und Täuschung Einfältiger
