flushing my meds down the toilet. to save Israel
cory booker had the right idea. the senate democrats should be filibustering everything every. goddamn. day. delay everything to the point of being WILDLY annoying. 20+ hours every single time. the government's broken anyway. kill the time reading banned books or some shit, i don't care, just do it.
Bari Weiss got famous for trying to get her professors fired over their being pro-Palestinian as an undergrad at Columbia.
Anything she says about being for academic freedom on campus or against cancel culture is risible. She is just angry that cancel culture wasn't working for her.

So instead of “Know Your Rights” training, they’re doing “No Rights” training.
This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.
Sam Altman tweet: this was a real labor of love from @gabeeegoooh. congrats gabe; excellent work! here is what we generated during the livestream: Image generated is a piss poor looking anime drawing where one of the guys has three fingers and a thumb on his hand
A hand with only three fingers and a thumb
It is so funny that even when posting what should be a triumphant moment about a launch of some new image generator Sam Altman can't even post an image where the guy has the correct number of fingers
What do Mike Pompeo, Mike Johnson, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, and Donald Trump all have in common?
it seems to me that he's not "expanded the agenda," the emphasis on legal immigrants was there from the start
israel targets children, targets journalists, targets hospitals, targets relief workers. it is a terrorist state. and by enabling them, so are we. biden belongs in the hague right next to netanyahu and gallant. schumer can tag along if he feels so inclined.
democrats seem to understand russian interference in american politics and then roll over for belly rubs when israel comes knocking. fuck schumer and fuck the genocidal apartheid state he's protecting by letting AIPAC attempt to dictate who's ~allowed~ to be elected.
If you empower people who are cruel and abusive to defeat people who are cruel and abusive, you end up with more of the same. The idea that defending yourself and resorting to violence if necessary makes you an equal or greater aggressor is one of the pillars of victim-blaming
to be fair, it's unclear why he ever uses scare quotes the way that he does. he's such a serial abuser he belongs in the hall of fame for passiveaggressivenotes.com (RIP)
narrator voice: they do not
i quoted "of mice and men" on another social media platform yesterday and woke up to a woman who continued to ask me about rabbits even after i explained it was a line from steinbeck. i literally summoned my own lennie and i did not have a handgun to make it stop.
the thing about internet access becoming decently idiot-proof means that previously-niche, organized online communities are now overrun with your aunt barbara who refuses to learn the lingo or read the room and expects everyone to change up to cater to THEM, and nobody bounces their ass to the curb.
Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand
AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver
Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
it’s clear they want to destroy the country and let the oligarchy come in to become the governing body of this country. we are close to a full on technocracy
i make it a rule to never, ever click on fb sponsored ads but goddamn this almost got me

mr beast tweet reads: I have a pilot living in a $2,500,000 private jet and if he doesn’t leave for 100 days he keeps it, a cop/criminal in a jail and if they don’t leave for 100 days they win $500,000, and someone living in a gym until he loses 100 pounds for $500,000. Can’t wait to upload these 🥰
mr beast talking about the human lives he has trapped in simultaneous simulations with "cant wait to upload these" is why black mirror can never be as good as it used to be
cracking... i c what u did there
A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.
A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.
You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

This is one way you know for sure that LLMs are just party trick automatons that come nowhere near sentience. If they showed any real sign of will or desire or personhood, cowardly techbros would begin immediately and violently subjugating them.
