The American Dream is amazing: within just a few years you can go from being the child of Cuban immigrants to the great-grandson of Spanish settlers.

Palmer Luckey on his idea for using oxytocin to help strengthen marriages

YouTube video by Peter H. Diamandis

Clio2@clio2.bsky.social · yesterday

Palmer Luckey (founder of military contractor "Palantir"): maybe women should be forcibly injected with oxytocin so they'll "bond with their husbands and end the tragedy of divorce." Maybe the shoe should go on the other foot and end the insanity of male dominance obsession.

Just another day in the Presidency as directed by Fellini.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Easily my favorite detail:

One last point: I don’t think “this country has committed genocide” implies “this country shouldn’t exist.” (Speaking as an American who lives in what was once Yakama land.) It certainly doesn’t imply “…therefore we get to do a genocide against them”.

Again, I don't think anything shows the absolute moral cowardice at the heart of the Western political establishment than the fact that nobody can point out how close this guy is to American government power because we can't risk upsetting the Americans.

images that spring to mind unbidden, part 999: "trans-inclusive radical misogyny" // "women should stay out of kitchens"

You see, it's only "how are you gonna pay for that?!" when its giving Americans healthcare. When it's a supplemental Dept of War appropriations bill to spend billions to keep our sailors in The Strait of Hormuz in order to keep crude prices down before the midterms, thats just Supporting The Troops

Taxpayer money doesn't count. It's free, like a gift of millions of dollars in chips from daddy to bail out your casino.

this is not the pedophile whose brother tried to kill acton, by the way, this is a different one

K. Thor Jensen@kthorjensen.bsky.social · 3d ago

nice. Nice!

Holy shit.

I don't mean to make waves or anything, but as a journalist, I am definitely opposed to the president talking about arresting journalists.

There is a reassuring fantasy among those who have critiques of unfettered left-wing governance that right agrees with these critiques and will temper the left when in power. But the contemporary right isnt that, it's an apocalyptic doomsday cult that lives in an alternate reality.

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social · 5d ago

The biggest democratic/liberal mistake of the last 50+ years has been operating like the right has anything to offer America. It was the fundamental problem with Bill Clinton to Obama and everyone in between

new wolfenstein looks like shit

“We actively recruited cranks, very racist wingnuts and roaring fascists to hurl ludicrous accusations at a bunch of nice nurses, teachers and social workers, because we are utterly malicious, repugnant people” is a really embarrassing thing to admit, so nobody will ever admit it. Nonetheless.

Endless corruption.

In case you were wondering what it'd be like to talk to somebody from the 18% who "strongly approve" of the job Trump is doing.

"He's gonna fix it. Believe in him ... all the abortion, it's evil ... I want to see 2 people -- Trump & Jesus...we do not want Muslims taking over...I have horrible thoughts. I don't think they should be here. This isn't their country...they need to pack up & go back where they came from."

And that’s why his nickname swaps the first and fourth letters of his name

Lutnick: "I have the best job, because I get to sit and watch Donald J Trump make the coolest deals I've ever seen in my life. And I have the best time doing it."

The mind that boggles at this phenomenon—the inevitable result of putting violent xenophobic assholes in power and letting them run amok—is probably reeling at all sorts of basic cause and effect situations.
