If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

These people want you to atrophy your intellectual ability through use of their service and then sell it back to you in perpetuity. To make you utterly dependent on them forever. Don't let them. Don't use generative AI.
Ms Rachel has shifted from advocating for children killed by bombs that our taxes pay for, to advocating for children that our government is imprisoning without cause, which our taxes also pay for.
This isn’t what a kid’s entertainer should feel the need to do, but since we’re here, more ppl should.
Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.
The secretary of defense saying we almost have cnn in our grasp is some dark, dark shit
It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.
This is not a joke.
We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.
Hey, folks. A good friend of mine is going through a hard time right now, and on top of that has to deal with some expensive car repairs. If you can spare anything to help him, I'd take it as a personal kindness. Thank you. gofund.me/ab39d4f2f
A comic panel crop, Vale, a man with light skin, a 5 o'clock shadow and dark blue hair in a half pony tail presses his fingers to the bridge of his nose with his eyes closed looking stressed.

Allins is on the left, her back to the viewer, a woman with light skin, blond hair in a french roll and a dark coat Bad Influence page 134
Vale needs coffee and a vacation. Preferably somewhere warm and miles away from the source of all his stress.

It is horrific that incidents like these are increasing. While, at this point, we know nothing about the motives here, it is important to be clear that anger about Israeli actions is never a justification for violence against Jews.
Friendly reminder that Disabled people still can't legally get married without losing their benefits! Certain states have workarounds, but if you require federal assistance, you're out of luck. We still don't have access to the same rights as others 36 years later
They don’t think women have agency, why would they think enemies in war would?
Not being snarky. This is abuser culture with nukes. A government by insecure overcompensating violent narcissists who’ve never faced consequences.
You don’t put those DOGE boys in prison, you’ll get a whole new batch.
Hard to believe the biggest fuckups in the history of the world fucked this up
2025 paper from researchers at Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University finds that as humans increasingly rely on generative AI in their work, they use less critical thinking, which can “result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved.”

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Is there anything I can do to support you?
Go on LinkedIn right now and you’ll find people with advanced degrees and decades of experience facing homelessness. It can happen to anyone. Your “good decisions” aren’t permanent protection from your life going off the rails.
If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me
This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology
Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide
we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'
Enough so that I signed up to raid again this season.
One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.
US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”
US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
I definitely shouldn't have a many hours yet in the new WoW expansion, but here we are.
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
I swear to bagels, there's just no point in looking for a job in tech anymore. Personalized resume? Tons of experience? Strong referral? None of it matters, you won't even get an interview. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to do anything else but tech. (Not looking for advice right now.)
I have consistently, since term 1, used the "family annihilator" framing when discussing the MAGA movement. Once you realize it, it's impossible to miss seeing it in everything they do.
My Monday ended with a tow truck, a $50 Uber, and a ?? for how long it will take me to get my car back on the road. If you were looking for an excuse to buy shiny stuff, Hill is doing QueerVC. 💖
