Can this be a solution?

Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.

i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

I also enjoy the frisson of transgression that's why instead of supporting the nativism race science and gender essentialism pushed by the most powerful people on earth I study philosophy and poetry and loudly tell people I meet at parties who enjoy at AI to fuck right off!

Fun fact about Marlon Brando, James Dean and Cary Grant is that every single one of them fucked men.

Seems to me that if you're upset that there's not more of a student movement fighting fascism in 2026, the first place to direct your anger is the people who crushed the wave of student organizing that crested in the months immediately preceding the fascists' rise to power.

"A student protest movement that was brutally suppressed by liberal institutions was proven 'disastrously wrong' by the fact that those institutions were subsequently steamrollered by fascism."

The must-read latest from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. There's no Johnny Cash in this one, but it's probably for the best as it is a sobering read.

sam altman, a middle aged white guy in a blue suit, holds a microphone in one hand while his other makes a kind of claw-like gesture. his face looks like he's just seen a ghost

seated on a red couch, sam altman leans pensively and stares off into the distance as if processing bad news

sam altman in a black hoodie holds two cups of probably coffee, he has short spiky hair and is looking off to the side with a jackass smile

sam altman only has three looks: i see a ghost, processing bad news, and jackass

Separating the art from the artist is about “can I read the copy of Sandman I bought twenty years ago without feeling like I’m covered in slime,” not handing piles of money to JK Rowling to help fund her transphobic attacks while absolving yourself of any responsibility.

Classic Marvel superhero dialogue is one of the weirdest dialogue forms of any medium because by editorial mandate it is expository to the point of absurdity: characters give monologues SUMMARIZING what's going on to characters who were there when it happened!

BUT this not bad! It's charming!

Most people rejected his message. They hated Freud because he told them the truth.

I remember, once, someone describing Donald Trump as a poor person's idea of a rich person, which always stuck with me (though alas, I don't remember whose insight it was); and I was just wondering whether LLMs are, sometimes, analogously, an unthinking person's idea of a thoughtful person....

We must think back to Sun Tzus art of war: “Make sure the person you’ve trained to kill that has an assault rifle readily available doesn’t go insane”

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

As someone keeps on reminding me, this war makes a lot more sense once you start treating it as “content creation” by sociopaths.

The reason people accuse Trump of creating distractions is because that does kind of look like what he's doing, but that's a misdiagnosis of the data. Trump isn't cultivating a distracted media environment; he's a victim of one. He doesn't cause distractions; he's just the most distracted man alive.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

So many people have now unconsciously adopted the politics-savvy "pragmatic" stance of beltway insiders that they don't seem to have any true sense where that ersatz pragmatism has led us. It's allowed moral and institutional rot that normalizes everything, even insane death-cult fascism.

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

we’re 85 seconds to midnight on the doomsday clock and we’re still doing spring forward??

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americans—and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for it—was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

being a carless american is awesome. financial harm caused by rising oil prices won't directly effect me, and secondary effects aren't something we are trained to think about. when the time comes i'll just blame the rising prices i do experience on supernatural causes. maybe goblins

I knew I'd get too old to recognize new celebrities but I did not expect to get too old to recognize what celebrities are famous for. every day I go "is that a new singer" and then a person born in 2007 goes "ew no they're a peeble streamer on doop" as linch closer to the grave
