Acknowledging the stark, ugly truth that the Republicans basically had no good reason to do what they have done for the last 11 years and have lapsed into vast collective psychosis over totally immaterial and utterly depraved delusions is terrifying, and as such most commentators simply do not do it
Cool now we have robots to compete in sports for us, AI to write stories and create pictures, movies, and music for us...what's left?
We're replacing our leisure, creative, and now competitive activities first. That feels backwards.
this is one of the most offensive things I've seen in years
Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

70 minutes from now when the deja vu makes me think I'm losing my mind, I just want everyone to know this is @michaelhobbes.bsky.social 's fault
"App marketing team can't afford/doesn't want to pay for an ad in the NYT so they say a ridiculous thing designed to bait a NYT op ed writer into giving them a free ad, and we fell for it"
So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
Oof, at least he's not an elected official, but still.
I feel like a good chunk of this is because it's kinda easy and cheap to make a real subpar beer and then just cram a ton of hops into it. Any deficiencies are masked by the hops.
To be clear: not all IPAs, but if one wants to make a least-effort beer that still sells, this is a way to do that.
I'm going to point out that we spent a shit ton of taxpayer money on moderna and he's stealing it from us.

"Killmonger is wrong and only seems right because the writers put some heroic words in his mouth"
Yes, uh...writers put every word in his mouth
for what it’s worth I think the skepticism of the claims against Swalwell is coming exclusively from people who haven’t read the claims against Swalwell
If it doesn't matter what the reality is, why care about anything? Just assume what the dumbest person you can imagine will think and then boom, it's impossible to be wrong!
I genuinely don't know how Biden pardoning Hunter makes Trump fear repercussions.
ffs, I have people irl who are very lefty, progressive types who STILL get mad he's gone and think we should have brought him back long ago
why is it okay if he's one of ours
(it's not okay and we need to not keep him as "ours" and why do I need to explain this)
I mean that's clearly just a dot someone drew on their phone screen with their finger, it's not even round, it's off center and crooked, doesn't even look like a moon pshh
/s
"Look if I don't spend half my time promoting these wrong ideas then I can't spend the other half of my time arguing about them."
Yep Biden was the first to ever pardon anyone, we all know this. Don't look it up just trust me.
Biden took the bait due to Trump being such a proven master at 5D chess. If he hadn't, Trump wouldn't be able to because he's too embarrassed by the idea of breaking norms. Shame would've stopped him.
"These two things are the same!"
But they're not though.
"True, you and I know that but the uninformed masses who just see a post and accept it uncritically do think that."
...you mean like how the people who saw your post just trust you and repeat it?
"See? They agree with me!"
Exactly.
lmao this is one of those fun little domino commodities that doesn't seem like a crucial lynchpin of the global economy but definitely is
In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:
-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets
This is what leadership looks like.
I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
I keep being told these guys are super lefty and worth listening to and...is this it? The Great Left Hope is this?

The thing about there needing to be a path of redemption for people who have been “canceled” is: there already is a path to redemption and it’s called “redeeming yourself.” The path is open! No one is blocking that! You just have to do it!

I really wish the media would understand that "Trump says" means anything that follows can disregarded, with regards to Iran.
His words have no relationship to reality. He's worried about the market crashing again on Monday and is probably lying to buoy it.

Happy Easter
1. "Here's an extreme idea. We're platforming it, so that people can watch out."
2. "This idea is gaining traction. We're publishing an op-ed in favour, for balance."
3. "This idea is popular now. Why does the left refuse to consider it?"
I think it's bad that the deputy White House chief of staff goes on television and claims that “the Democratic Party has decided that its mission, its purpose in life, is to dissolve the Republic that we enjoy, not only our way of life, our history, our citizenry, our rights, our freedoms.”
