My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

This plane landed in Myanmar about three hours ago. This is the third ICE flight to Myanmar this year. Burmese deportees in 2025 were immediately sent to a torture facility next to the airport, according to Myanmar Now. Weeks later, not all of them had emerged.

Sanders-backed Socialists sweep Michigan! El-Sayed, Lawrence, and McKinney won their races. Huge night for the left. Monumental shift happening in American politics. Looks like “The Revolution” is happening.

AIPAC is dumping over $1 million into this race at the last minute to buy this seat for my opponent. They wait until the final days because they think voters won’t know who’s paying the bill.

I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo

Mark Ruffalo is lowkey one of the best celebrities on Bluesky because he’s typing on his phone angry about the news in a way that makes it clear it’s really him and he just saw something that got him annoyed
