Super fun and good that the guy who said empathy is western civilization's greatest weakness and the guy who can't take care of a baby without a chatbot are duking it out in court over who gets to solve the corrigibility dilemma
SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer
Wherever you stand on the political scale, whether left, right, or center: the one thing absolutely NO ONE should believe is that any billionaire has our best interests in mind when they're meddling with the government.
the first good post i think i've ever seen from a democratic committee account
So wild that I'm still getting marketing emails like "best headphones of 2025" my good sir, six absolutely maidenless fuckwit teens have my fucking bank info and social
Lesson for this Trump tariff shakedown bullshit is that you can call him up and say "well okay, we'll do [list of things we're already doing], that's a really good idea" and he will take that as a win. It's like putting a blanket over a budgie's cage
Elon Musk wants to be Hari Seldon but he is actually Empire. Like, the shitty 15th generation Empire.
Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing
This letter, especially the last paragraph, is so damning to everyone who voted for this regime. Didn't think he was gonna fuck you over, did you? Despite everything?
Catherine Rampell@crampell.bsky.social · 2y agoThe National Association of Home Builders explains what happens if we make inputs for home construction, such as Canadian lumber, more expensive.
it is honestly kind of striking to me that the founders were basically on target re: “things that could end our republic”
ae@aelkus.bsky.social · 2y agowell, the founders’ nightmare of a foreign born subversive with no inherent loyalty to america grabbing power now looks very relevant. however they didn’t predict he would be a dope fiend too
Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner
Hi everyone! A foreign national has seized the federal payment system and every bit of sensitive information that entails. If you have ever received a federal payment (hint: you have, and Trump made sure of that with his stimulus checks in 2020), Elon Musk and his AI now have your email address.
The US is about to become a theocracy, out in the open. There are going to be a lot of Christians struggling to reconcile following the teachings of Christ with supporting the evils of this regime. The only people who will be able to counsel them back into sanity are other Christians.
Christians who are in support of Trump's immigration policies, I ask you to look up Matthew 25:40, and to sit with that for awhile, and think about how your soul would be weighed at the gates and the many ways in which you would be found wanting.
