Somersaulting RFK Jr. Excitedly Chases Own Penis Through Cabinet Meeting https://theonion.com/somersaulting-rfk-jr-excitedly-chases-own-penis-through-cabinet-meeting/

Don’t have much to say about the current comedy controversy that hasn’t already been said But that’s the thing, it was all said ten years ago, when people were defending comedians who harassed and stalked women, or told women they needed to get over the sexual assault. They still are. I’m tired.

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all. www.commondreams.org/news/newsom-...

Let’s learn from past crashes and be ready w bold transformative demands. No AI bail outs. No impunity.

Naomi Klein@naomiaklein.bsky.social · last wk.

When the AI bubble pops, we can’t repeat past corporate bail outs. We need to be ready with policies that protect ordinary people and hold tech execs accountable. We also need to talk about nationalizing AI companies — or maybe even abolishing them altogether… @astra.bsky.social @theguardian.com

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.

We've been getting these flyers lately from the United Democracy Project, harping on Abdul El-Sayed's statement after the attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, MI. It removes the context that the attacker had lost relatives in an Israeli strike on Lebanon days prior.

I love and miss Toronto ❤️ Fuck Doug Ford. Fuck his moves to privatize healthcare and Americanize Ontario. And fuck his attempts to strip Toronto, a city of cyclists, of its bike lanes. www.reddit.com/r/toronto/s/...

Generative AI currently harms human creators. There is no ethical option, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something or delusional. This is shameful.

Hi there is currently no ethical way to use genAI. Hope this helps.

If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms. Slava fucking Ukraini.

I have now received two separate interview invites insisting that "detailed questions are submitted in advance." Because we're seeing such a shift with tenured people losing positions and green writers getting brought in at content farms, let me be clear: that is not how journalism works.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Voting for anyone other than Abdul El-Sayed is illogical, plain and simple. He's the real deal, someone who wants to walk the walk for all of us, we just have to give him the chance.

Whenever a woman complains online, inevitably two things will happen: A man will comment something supportive, followed by another man responding "Give it up, bro. She's not gonna fuck you!" Proving in the clearest possible terms how men are socialized to only be nice to women in exchange for sex.
