HOWLING

Living in America is like being locked in a windowless room with a chimp holding a hand grenade. Sure, I'm relieved when he gets distracted and throws his own poop instead of pulling the pin, but in the end I'm still locked in a room with him.

Do not stop organizing against trumps imperialist aggression. This won’t be the last threat and he won’t be the last president that makes these threats. Let today ignite in you the desire to get involved in anti imperialism. We need the power to stop this

As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences.

And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

She thinks she’s replacing Nick Fury at S.H.I.E.L.D.

What it feels like to be in tech and NOT use AI.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

We should have never legitimized gambling or outsourced our thinking.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

These people are beyond evil and the only reason that it doesn’t always seem that way is that they’re also beyond stupid.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

I think a WithPod about the insane state of AI financials would be super interesting for folks.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social please do a WithPod with @edzitron.com

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

‘Oregon was next’: Trump’s targeted state after Minnesota, report says NBC on Wednesday quoted an unnamed former White House official saying Oregon was next in line for a large-scale immigration operation.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

You’ll find some excuse to get a Domino next. It is worth it.

Graphic video warning. Even more obvious that this is straight up murder.

I guess every day is TACO Tuesday
