Former Republican (mea culpa!) now dedicated to burning it to the fucking ground. Neoliberalism is an abject failure. In a world run by 5 giant monopolies, where billionaires decide the outcome of elections, socialism is entirely logical.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

“As a librarian, I think it’s important to see this as…helping people reclaim their autonomy over whether they want to use AI tools,” Bailey said. “It’s important, especially when it can be so difficult not to use them, and when the design seems to force adoption” Librarians to the rescue (again)

Librarians are hosting viral 'Avoiding AI' workshops for people who are fed up with Big Tech | TechCrunch

At libraries around the country, "Avoiding AI" workshops have elicited unprecedented demand.

In 60 days or so, we’ll face an election we can’t successfully win without a landslide. Any low-percentage win and they’ll do what we know they already know exactly how to do, and more. We’ve all seen it happen. So we need that landslide victory. We all must vote.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

Israel has repeatedly targeted doctors, nurses and healthcare workers as part of their ongoing genocide in Gaza. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya has been held without charge for the past 18 months, repeatedly tortured in that time. Israel must release him NOW.

Saw a meme of GenZ baffled by how pre-internet travel worked, and realized we’ve crossed an enshittification threshold where IRL services that once seemed outdated, like travel agents, now seem luxurious: “You meet with a human expert who plans out your whole trip with you” sounds incredible now tbh

You guys are never gonna believe this, but going to a brick-and-mortar running store and getting sized by employees who know what they're doing and can recommend brands and models for you is a WAY better strategy than Googling "Nike running shoes" and buying whatever's on sale

"As Republican politicians cower in fear .. one incredibly brave woman stood up to the man who assaulted her. She did this with full knowledge that he would use every bit of firepower he could muster to destroy her. And she won." This is beautiful Definitely read it:

"The verdict finding Trump sexually abused & defamed Carroll is now final. He's out of courts to shop this to, & he’ll get no more appeals. And since he had to prepay the judgment & deposit it w/the court — along w/interest! — she won’t have to wait for him to cut the check." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Morocco deserved to beat Netherlands because 1) Seeing former colonies defeat former colonizers is great 2) Moroccan food is delicious while Dutch food tastes like a crime 3) The Moroccan jerseys are an elegant nod to culture while the Dutch jerseys are an affront to color theory and God

Ossoff: "This is what happens when you send your son in law Jared to cosplay as a diplomat. Despite zero qualifications, Prince Jared was tapped to lead Middle East diplomacy. Now remember Jared's slush fund already got $2 billion from the Saudi Crown Prince ... "

Democratic voters prefer politicians who are ready, willing and able to fight. Where incumbents fail that test, voters will look to replace them with politicians who will actually fight. That's it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I don't want to see Elon in a "public debate" with a clown who has spent years taking his money and running cover for him, I want to see Elon forced to testify before congress, under oath

“And when a judge forced his name off a murdered president’s memorial, he left the building draped in white tarps, obscuring Kennedy’s name so that nobody can see it either, because if the public can’t see Donald Trump’s name, then by God they won’t see anyone’s…” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
