Welp, I guess now we know why Elon was lying his butt off about projecting "1 billion humanoid robots by 2030" just a couple days ago.
So, I hope that puts the conspiracy theories about Infantino setting up Argentina to win the world cup to rest.
The amount of stupid takes about Argentina being racist because "they don't have a lot of black people, they must have gotten rid of them!" is off the charts. It's particularly grating coming from Americans and Europeans. Just read a fucking history book, people.
Actually, this should be standard procedure for candidates everywhere. Someone should ask Trump why did the Biden administration right the election so he'd win.
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · last mo.Reminder to Colorado journalists: if you’re interviewing a winning candidate who usually claims that elections are rigged, ask them why this election was rigged in their favor.

DISCLOSURE DAY It’s not your dad’s idea of aliens & UFOs. It’s your grandpa’s.
Yep. The value of corporations rolling out the rainbow carpet isn't what's in their heart of hearts, it's the society-wide signaling of "acceptance is good, bigotry is bad." Even if entirely insincere, it tells society "we think the majority of our customers expect this," and that's good!
JP@jpbrammer.bsky.social · 2mo agoI mean no disrespect but I can't believe we're still pretending "corporations never cared about Pride" is an interesting thing to say. even during peak corp Pride I think you had to be exceptionally dim to not get what was going on lol like yeah I think I know Chipotle would kill me for a nickel
I've been getting Google News 'articles' with titles like 'the newest sci-fi movie will blow your mind'. The movie? Super Mario Galaxy. They also only say the name after a thousand words. Is there a name for this form of click bai?
I'm not much of a Maradona fan, but holy shit could he control a ball.

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish
Serious question. Does anyone have any personal experience or friend's/relative's anecdotes about making a permanent move outside of the U.S. in response to everything that's been happening with this administration? My wife is very scared for our son's future. We're U.S. citizens, but still.
Broadly speaking: reality tv is bad for democracy, influencers are bad for democracy, streamers are bad for democracy, YouTubers are bad for democracy. Exceptions to all categories exist, but it’s astonishing how absolutely clogged our political and media ecosystems are with low-info narcissists
We met for a drink mid-afternoon. We had so much fun, we decided to have dinner together. She asked if I wanted fancy or casual, I picked fancy. I guess that was the right choice, because we ended up closing the restaurant. So many good memories of that first date! We've been inseparable since.
Popehat@kenwhite.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date? My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.
If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.
Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.
Dave Vetter@davidrvetter.bsky.social · 6mo ago"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

So, I accidentally just removed my whole Nest Wifi network from my Google Home, effectively forcing me to set up the whole mesh again. Apparently all it takes is fat fingering one single tap for this to happen. Awful UX.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
This is the best description of this 'film' I've seen.

I had missed the origins of the "penguin" series of tweets, but it turns out it's darker, MUCH darker than I thought. I can't quite tell if the administration is nihilistic or just incredibly stupid, but either way, this video is worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7Wq...

Congress is going to respond with some "sensitivity training" level bandaid solution. What needs to happen is for ICE to be removed from the Department of Homeland Security, sent back to the Justice Department and stripped of its national security mandate. Bare minimum.
ICE / DHS employees: I know there’s way more alarm internally than is public. Text me via signal at 202-510-1268. I’ll protect your anonymity
Honor his memory, prosecuted the murderers and the whole chain of command that enabled them.
Jacqueline Sweet@jsweetli.bsky.social · 6mo agoAlex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
Pritzker: "The GOP is nowhere to be found. They're the ones that scream and yell about 'federal tyranny' about interference with states' rights. And now, their president is violating states' rights and attacking our states and Republicans are nowhere to be found to talk about it."
