i can’t help it, this is such a hysterically, comically corrupt fucking presidency, just comic book villain levels of cartoonish corruption
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2h agoLombardo on Trump: "When the press and media runs him down, they think about 'he's taking care of his billionaire friends.' But those billionaire friends provide jobs. And unless you take care of them, those jobs are absent."

Meta has made it repeatedly clear that one of their growth strategies is sexualizing kids. Mark Zuckerberg and his leadership team deserve to face personal liability for this, and the company deserves sanctions up to and including corporate dissolution
WIRED@wired.com · 7h agoOver the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.
Anyone repeating 2020 election conspiracies is actively taking part in a conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. Constitution and government, and should be put to death. Equivocators can go straight to prison.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h agoSCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
It seems really clear that by 2028, we're going to have an empty SPR, substantial munitions shortages, greater strategic challenges, a larger national debt and substantially higher bond rates which will massively constrain future administrations.
once the world accommodates to llm-centric coding you can't just go back to artisanal code by personally forsaking ai because all the people/orgs/systems you need your work to smoothly interact with/be competitive with/be robust to, are themselves using llm-centric coding
norvid_studies@norvid-studies.bsky.social · 10h ago[concept missing a name] is that once world accommodates to X you can't just go back to not-X by personally deleting X, as a common example you can't "just not use a dating app" as you could in 1990 because all the people you would meet, are themselves coordinating via a dating app.
Satan worshippers don't like it when you point out that they worship Satan (or Moloch, or the golden calf, etc)
Jack Jenkins@jackjenkins.me · 10h agoAs of last night, there are now *7* pastors, former pastors and seminarians who've become Democratic nominees running for Congress. Some have already won safe Dem seats, and several are in hotly contested races. In multiple cases, the GOP has attacked their faith. religionnews.com/2026/08/04/p...
This absolute piece of shit claims that he's "taking out fraudsters" and "saving the American people money" when his boss is running about half a dozen pay-to-play schemes in public view, the deficit is at record highs, and Vance has us ferrying his 9 year old to golf lessons in a helicopter.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 9h agoJD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
yes, trump is a sociopathic freak, but the far bigger problem is that every single Republican in Congress is a cuck with a humiliation fetish the founding fathers envisioned a mad king president but what they never imagined was such a cucked congress
Micah@rincewind.run · yesterdaythe intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation
It’s a direct attack on rule of law from the highest levels, aimed at permanently ending US Constitutional democracy and imposing a dictatorship. Always has been. Anyone who tries treating it as something else—as if they’re dealing with mistaken impressions rather than lies—gets egg on their face.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 11h agoIt's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...
Michael Flynn got paid by the Russian government to do anti-American propaganda, got paid by the Turkish government to conspire to break US laws, and now got paid by the US government for helping cover up a hostile anti-American foreign intelligence operation, ensuring perpetrators got away with it.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 10h ago🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵
I made this post and then went and did something and I have now come back to find that the McMorrow vote is greater than the extremely narrow gap between AES and Stevens. You should have appealed to us instead of taking us for granted!
Bill McKay@mckay4senate.bsky.social · 23h agoDon't care, still voting McMorrow.
fake podcast episodes selling dick pills, garbled old women selling “real gold” for under $40, an offensive AI-generated stereotype selling “aged garlic” to address thin arteries (????)
it’s kind of crazy that YouTube, which might as well be the biggest television station in the world, is just nonstop scammy ads—and it’s gotten worse since the advent of generative AI
Young people don't think politics is about proper tax rates or balancing efficiency and justice. Young people — and in this sense they're just seeing the world more clearly — understand politics now is about status. Who deserves to have it stuck to them? Who should do the sticking? These are our Qs
I still don’t know how it’s not a Ponzi scheme blessed by the SEC and fancy corporate lawyers.
I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.
Gentry owns the jobs → gentry dominates local institutions → gentry defines taxation as theft → public services remain weak → everyone stays dependent on gentry.
For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.
So nice to be able to use codex to patch codex. The rest of you’s maxxed out on 8 subagents session:
I should write a blog post about how multi-tabling MTT poker in the heyday is a massive edge in agentic development. Worth more than all my dev knowhow combined.
I want intelligence too cheap to meter and I want it now.
