The New Big

INTENTIONAL.

one of the earliest lessons in politics I learned as a kid from my parents was to always vote for a tax increase, because you're trading a dollar amount so small you probably won't notice in order to fund something important that benefits everybody. I wish that was how Democrats messaged this stuff!

Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.

ariel hart did some of the best local reporting on the hostile takeover of the CDC and the protests surrounding it. not really sure what's left of the AJC at this point.

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

yes, it is THAT serious.

They already pretty low, so taking it lower is like breathing.

*puts on shin guards*

Andy Thomson wins his election to be the first Democratic mayor of Boca Raton in over 30 years.

He won by just one vote.

yet another thing to put in our back pocket. "ship em to the Hague" is a completely valid option for a long and growing list of people who need to be dealt with

EVERY DAY it’s the DUMBEST mfers on the planet holding IMPORTANT JOBS just doing silly sit to fuckin appease JOE ROGAN.

No way on this earth you can tell me just I’m supposed to take the hosts of The Apprentice and Fear Factor seriously. Get this fuckin Wednesday Nights on NBC ass admin outta here

All roads lead back to favors from Putin. Smh

I’m also of the mind that utilities shouldn’t be privately owned

This is why you shouldn't put your dog on one of those ridiculous grain-free "spirit of a wolf" new age diets!

And where we’re at today is a complete denigration of that dream. Early Twitter compared to X as now. The death of Geocities and MySpace. “Pivot to video.”

We caught a glimpse of paradise (granted, with some problems), and then we let late stage capitalism drag us back into “number MUST go up.”

No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers.

We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadn’t caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines

Perfect college sports story

AI evaporates a lake a second? You got it
AI is plagiarism? You got it
AI depends on child slavery in some country you’ve never been to? You got it

But these numbers are only big to you because you haven’t shipped something that’s been used by a lot of people

it takes 2 clicks to download
its not rocket science

Explaining “decentralized” social media is harder than downloading an app

Facebook has billions of users because it’s used around the world.

This is literally how software works.

lmao

Trump is the leader of the pedophile protection party.

Trump is in the Epstein files 38,000 times.

Trump wrote to Epstein about their “wonderful secret.”

Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet (and lied.)

Just so that we are clear, Israel drops criminal charges on five Israeli soldiers who were caught on camera sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee. But Israel will keep kids in prison for decades because they were throwing rocks? Make it make sense 🤦🏽‍♀️

Alysa Liu honored with the key to Oakland 🗝️🌳

Where is this coming from?

They shouldn’t have called her job and shit but she may or may not have deserved the vitriol online

There are some bare minimum social niceties we used to care about and were convinced to let go of because, “that’s not gonna make the white man treat you any better” but what if I told you EVERYTHING AINT ABOUT THEM!!!

YES!!!!

I like how Miami is pretty clearly not a good team but is also 31-0. There is really no one like them ever

"Immigrant receiving"...

Did you know that four of the top five "immigrant receiving" countries by percentage of population speak Arabic? Or that Saudia Arabia is third by sheer body count? But we of course mean that as a euphemism for "White," so who cares about tiresome little things like facts.

If anything, even now, considering the fallout of Black women pushed out of the workforce would be characterized as “woke” nonsense. As we see the consequences of just this politics all around us the complete dismissal is what they hold fast to.
