Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

Max Miller story is just really truly dregs of humanity stuff. I was getting my 2yo dressed today and was like what kind of person can break a tiny collarbone like this? What kind of evil is in there man? How did we let the country get run by these people?

I agree

I think Democratic Socialists are winning primaries for the same reason Trump won in 2024. Namely, neither party has dealt with the massive problem of runaway wealth inequality. And the DS's are running on it. With Trump, I think fed-up voters just said, "Fuck it, let's burn this house down."

Trump sued the BBC over his own Jan 6 fight like hell speech, and a judge just ruled the finances of 400 companies in his family trust are fair game because he put his brand's reputation on the line. His lawyers tried to retreat by dropping the business damages claim. Too late, the door is open.

I have one answer.

They will transport some sort of raw materials to the moon? And work on them in a factory? With robots? That look like humans? In a factory that was somehow built already?

Trying out the features in Claude for education. Join me as I see how it "helps" me write a research paper. My chosen topic: "AI and education". /1

Democrats also support the KIDS Act and are planning on pushing age verification even harder in their Project 2029. It's not just Republicans who are to blame for the rise of fascism.

I want to read the thing all on my own like a grownup and make my own notes and draw my own conclusions. Reading is the joy of the thing. I like reading and thinking. I don’t want to know what an algorithm wants to present as useful and I REALLY don’t like robot errors.

The thing about civilization is, it keeps you civil. Get rid of one, you can’t count on the other. #TheExpanse

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING? Also, this story confirms yet again that Taylor Farms is the culprit, despite the White House downplaying their involvement.

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

My thoughts on Bluesky not being welcoming to Republicans is Trump blocks disaster relief to states voting blue, & is also legally codifying anyone who opposes him as a terrorist deserving violence, & his kidnapping brute gangs terrorize the streets, & there's much more but I'm out of characters

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care

Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.

Michigan will provide another crucial test of whether progressives can not only keep up their winning streak in safe-blue seats but also break through in battlegrounds crucial for control of Congress. The stakes for the Democratic Party are huge.

Time to add another formerly respected institution to the garbage pile, this time @aau.edu, which just worked with the Trump admin to endorse resegregation in high education, embedding MAGA fraudsters as faculty, and banning student expression. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We're at an interesting point in computer hardware. Nvidia was all set to compete with Intel and Apple via a new ARM CPU ... while at the same time, Nvidia has contributed to making hardware prices so high that people will be using existing gear much longer than they usually would.

Thanks to Nvidia's own greed and circular financing bullshit, we're now at least three years or more from Windows on ARM becoming viable, and they're the ones who had the most invested in that change to the market! Short term quarter-to-quarter thinking is undercutting Nvidia's long term interest.

This is one deeply reported, beautifully written (or edited) story, and you should find time this Sunday morning to read every word of it. 1/2 Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/u...
