I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!

A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

Student journalists across this country have been churning out some of the best journalism these last couple years Thinking of the radio crew covering the encampments in New York, UCLA crew doing the same, not to mention groundbreaking investigation after investigation Brilliant, the best of us

“Senior editor Cereese Qusba spent months reporting on the case before breaking the news of the lawsuit on September 18.”

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

reading this, it does seem as if “rationalism” is an elaborate intellectual architecture designed primarily to support the idea that if you were born white, male and clever then you are the genetic elite and entitled to rule.

This is another great, approachable explainer on “the rationalist wackos who have managed to take over much of the AI industry, and who now have tons of money and political power.” www.iankduncan.com/personal/202...

You can tell, with all of the explicit ethnic cleansing making everything worse and more expensive, the GOP's next target is just to go all out on gender wars. Everyone on X or Rumble is complaining about nagging women 24/7, with brief respites for holocaust denial. Full 4chan incel GOP incoming.

et voilà, a portrait of Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock, rendered from leaked Flock license plate camera images. Plates were redacted before rendering.

the republicans are wide open on several fronts, historically unpopular president, unpopular war, record high gas. any dem throwing trans people under the bus at this moment is doing it because they want to. not like they need to, do they. even if it worked as a vote winner, which it doesn't

I’ve just finished reading Slaughterhouse Five, and I can’t help but notice that Palestine now looks like Vonnegut’s nightmare recollections of Dresden. We’ve all had to see this first hand, there’s no way to deny this kind of destruction. Future generations will be appalled by what happened here.

This video was filmed in Palestine. My heart struggles to comprehend such cruelty and the heartbreaking disregard for human life. No human being should have to endure this.

We obtained Trump’s confidential drug pricing deals with Pfizer & Lilly via FOIA litigation. The texts are heavily redacted, making it impossible to verify some of Trump's claims. But unredacted text shows Trump exaggerated his drug pricing achievements, which expire anyway at the end of his term.

Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social · 2w ago

For months, Trump has touted his drug-price deals — saying his work should be enough for the GOP to win the midterms. But Trump and his deputies have declined to release the deals' actual text. @publiccitizen.bsky.social sued to get two deals thru FOIA and shared them with The Post.

A senior Microsoft executive believes AI built on the work of others will be seen as “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions” and possibly the greatest robbery of labor in human history, according to court documents unredacted Thursday.

my opponent is trying to smear me, but here's the truth: im like them but less. you hate transgenders right? i mean ill keep it out of schools but i wont make it legal to kill em. is that good enough? you can kill a few if that'll help

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 2w ago

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.
