This guy is also telling staffers to write their obituaries with AI. For funsies!

"Or risk a public backlash" is such a wild counterfactual to "be candid," as if there wouldn't be a public backlash if the entire global economy implodes due to mass unemployment at levels not seen since the Great Depression.

I bet Ro Khanna is backing Tom Steyer for governor bc he needs someone to help bankroll his (lol) 2028 presidential run.

This is as good as everyone's saying it is. The anti-corruption message is a good one, imo

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.

Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

Charlize Theron Said It Was ‘Very Clear’ That Her Father Tried to Kill Her Charlize Theron recalled the traumatic day when her mother killed her father in self-defense, saving their lives.

Authors are slamming Reese Witherspoon for telling followers 'it's time to learn AI' Reese Witherspoon has long championed the creative community, but a recent social media post hyping artificial intelligence isn't sitting well with writers and authors.

What's funny about me being quoted in this article is that I didn't even know Reese had said something about AI. I just saw some discourse on Threads about getting "left behind" by not using AI and posted my general take on that!

Oh, huh, looks like I'm quoted in here lol

How am *I* the one being "left behind" by not using AI when *my* cognitive function will remain fully intact and uncompromised?

I thought this shit sounded familiar!

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

We just witnessed Dolores Huerta and others waiting DECADES to share the truth about their very famous and beloved abuser out of fear of repercussions. And we're already back to questioning why victims speak out when they do, if they do at all.

It's ego-driven power hunger, not leadership.

there is no politician so irreplaceable that we must overlook sexual misconduct because nobody else could possibly fill their shoes

Concerning the longtime rumors around Swalwell, I am reposting here with permission a FB post last time from longtime organizer Michael Trujillo.

This history goes way beyond what is reported publicly.

The Venn diagram of lefties screaming EPSTEIN FILES and lefties defending Swalwell is... disappointing, yet not at all surprising.

Becerramentum?

Everyone discounting the Swalwell accusations by calling it a Roger Stone hit job isn't just discounting the victims, they're also discounting all the other women / influencers who have been highlighting this story for a while now.

For the last 50 years, the goal of the Republican Party has been to delegitimize and dismantle the federal government in order to privatize services, resegregate the population, and diminish women’s rights in the states they control.

It’s all coming together now.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the two guys who started a war in Iran for no reason are both in office largely to avoid jail time.

Simultaneous record low fertility rate and record low teenage pregnancy rate feels like an okay set of data points to me. 🤷🏽‍♀️

NYT: US Fertility Rates Drop to Another Record Low The fertility rate has been falling since 2007, in large part because of a plunge among teenagers

There are some clues in the age breakdown: The fertility rate for teenagers dropped by 7 percent from 2024’s figure, setting another record low for the group. Since 2007, the rate for teenagers is down by 72 percent, and since 1991, when teenage fertility rates were at a high, the rate is down by 81 percent.

Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

The Trumpy social media trolls are so desperate right now they're trying to claim that a "civilization" doesn't mean a country's entire population

Motion to rename it 'Two Week TACO'

But Hillary the Hawk and Donald the Dove right?

Anyone else watch A House of Dynamite on Netflix? We're kind of there. Except it's a demented egomaniacal buffoon with the launch codes and not Idris Elba.
