It was revealed the president's bank accounts got shut down by Capitol One for money laundering but the media is too obsessed with Francesca Hong's take on Thanksgiving to notice.

We could’ve had houses and trains, man. Probably even trees and trolleys
You know... I think maybe it's actually a bad thing to elect people willing to do that kinda stuff. Either they're lying in the primary about their opponent or lying after about them when they flip 180 after. Maybe it's a bad thing for us to excuse that sort of deceptive behavior at all.
Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real
Love how upper management managed to turn a tool that was able to sometimes discover vulnerabilities into a confusing slop generator by demanding the testers have the agents do everything including the write up and scoring. Would hate to slow down by having a human understand what they published!
It's beautiful to think how far we've come since covid, from not being able to go inside because of the air, to not being able to go outside because of the air.
Yes but if democratic socialists are installing beautiful handmade benches how am I going to pay my wife's shell company $35 million / year for a decade to design ugly anti homeless benches that no-one can comfortably use?

Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.
Pivoting from "would dad approve" to "would a bug approve" makes landscaping a lot more enjoyable
Using this tech is another way of wearing a T-shirt that says "I am stupid and have no judgment"
PBS News@pbsnews.org · last wk.The State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.
99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa
The data center mania happening at a time when climate change is already such a serious and obvious problem feels like a taunt. You are pissing me off on purpose
Jeff Sharlet@jeffsharlet.bsky.social · last wk."By the end of 2030," reports NYT, the amount of energy used by data centers"is expected to quadruple, eclipsing the power used by all countries in South America and Africa combined." This is extinctionism.
“The DSA will destroy the Democratic Party!” Meanwhile…
Sorry, everyone. I wished for a man who was completely full of shit
People don't seem to realize that regulations exist not because liberals like living in a nanny state, but rather because corporations, given a choice, will feed us LITERAL poison to save a buck. They did this. Until literally forced to stop
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2w agoThe decimation of our federal agencies has upended the lives of thousands of workers. These are the people who oversee food safety, public health, and much more. The squalor of this moment is bringing us back to basics — and reminding us of what our priorities should be.

I remember a time when you could start an interaction with a new product, service, or another human from the baseline assumption that it was not some kind of setup for abuse of your dignity or basic rights and i feel like that assumption has not been valid since maybe 2005
This is in spite of overwhelming propaganda in favor of Israel. In spite of the lack of leaders, in either party. It's hard to talk positively these days, about the country, the role social media plays, but many people found their own way through the veil on this one, and very suddenly.
Looking up tech details on a product. Couldn't find the docs: opened help. It said it's an AI chat & can get tech specs. Under that, it said that AI responses may be incorrect I should verify them. With who? I'm using it to find tech specs I don't know. If I could verify them I wouldn't BE HERE.
The same people who want to sanction Canada for the wildfire smoke have killed federal regulations so they can load the atmosphere with deadly pollutants while cutting cancer research and reducing access to healthcare.
No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."
Panera should bring back the lemonade that kills you and offer it as a combo meal with the salad that makes your colon explode
