I made it to 2:30, I'm putting on sweatpants and getting under the micro fleece blanket

Formerly portly Vice President now reduced to making fat jokes in near open acknowledgement of his own failure morally, politically, and as a man. This is what a person who’s been stripped down to the wiring looks like. An empty husk and a total embarrassment to himself and humankind.

Spoken like a man who has never had to shop for himself.

I heard “inshallah and the creek don’t rise” the other day.

this is truly motivating me to use inshallah even more than I already do after all it’s the faster and more fun way to say “if the good lord’s willing and the creek don’t rise,” speaking as someone with Southern roots.

We have to reckon with the fact that Uncommitted really was what it said it was - a group of loyal partisan democrats trying to save the party from itself. This was obviously not the case with "Abandon Harris," but anyone conflating the two is doing so out of either ignorance or malice.

The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.

The more you read this the more it makes complete sense that people are rationally choosing to lie about AI in order to keep being able to make their mortgage payment

I don't really have much of a desire to see this movie but I would watch a fake documentary from like 10 years after the law is repealed exploring all the ways it was a total failure on the order of prohibition.

NEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days

I love a hater. One important reason for haters is that some things deserve to be hated. Turns out our suspicion around Sex Purge Movie was merited and Marya has a beautiful takedown.

"If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die. Death with dignity is surely a better fate for the genre than fascist capitulation." Zero stars for this piece of shit movie. My review of ONE NIGHT ONLY for @ebertvoices.bsky.social

Wanting computer to be real is a red flag actually. This is one reason

Bailey McCann@baileymcc.bsky.social · 2h ago

I understand that people like computer and want computer to be real, but you cannot convince me that anything computer provides is worth submitting to fascism and a free flow of CSAM.

bleak as hell with ian miles cheong is the only voice of reason there & it’s nowhere near a full moon

yeah this is a genuine issue

the problem with the automod being so prudish is I’ll be scrolling the timeline and I’ll see a hidden post and I’m like “oh I’m sure it’s nothing let me click ‘show’” and then it’s just the most vulgar thing imaginable

I think we should start losing our shit every time a politician says Lord willing then

I'd really appreciate it if a woman would run for a high profile office as a Democrat with the same political platform as Mamdani and El-Sayed, instead of feeling like her gender makes it so that she had to run the most Diet MAGA campaign to be taken seriously. It's depressing.

A lot of very horrible people are learning that Black voters and affluent suburban voters are not their Emotional Support Electorate(TM) but real humans with real agency and their own political priorities and concerns and they are going to lash out in incredibly nasty ways.

fuck every lib influencer who backed Stevens for nearly setting us back as a country and creating the precedent that AIPAC could buy a senate nomination

I'd be inclined to be gracious and humble in defeat if that wouldn't be the same as letting one of the most revolting, racist statewide campaigns in the modern history of the Democratic Party pass without comment.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

i voted for Kamala in the general after voting Uncommitted in the primary, as did the vast majority of Black Uncommitted voters in Michigan i expect the vast majority of Stevens primary voters will vote for El-Sayed to keep the hardline MAGA scoundrel Mike Rogers out of the senate

Hey hive mind-- I'm Going Through Some Shit and would love some beautiful, fun, brightly colored, gorgeous movies that work better than drugs to help me escape. Hit me with your favorites for this. Nothing gritty or sad, please. Violence or horror are OK if it's like this movie:

Stevens and McMorrow also endlessly attacked his medical credentials but it's ok, sometime last night he became a doctor

I mean call me old fashioned but I think racism should have consequences!

They were so used to being beneficiaries of corruption that they forgot it was corruption and thought the mayors were talking to them on merit

aww did someone get addicted to corruption and graft!!!!

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 17h ago

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

I do wonder if The Media Class of this country have been on the mercury cocaine. Their brains must be as hard and crumbly as Edinburgh rock. Imagine writing that paragraph and thinking *Séamas* is the bad guy.

Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · 11h ago

Now, I *am* a nobody but @seamas.bsky.social is a bestseller so surely Joanna is just showing herself up here.

If you read fiction and you don't like AI you're a hypocrite. If you eat monster munch and don't like asbestos you're a blacksmith. If you play videogames and don't like stubbing your toe you're a submarine captain. We can all just SAY things. It's not hard.

The "Actually guys, I don't want to do this anymore" to "Too bad, we're nominating you anyway!" pipeline. Brought to you by: racism. They're calling it an Inverted Crowley.

The Downballot@the-downballot.com · 15h ago

Seems like an upset might be brewing in the GOP primary in #MI08 to take on Dem Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet. Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, but he currently trails an absolute nobody who suspended his campaign a month ago by a wide margin.

I know correlation != causation but the suggestion that AI use makes you stupid isn't disproven by the fact that everyone who posts in support of AI use is dick-shrivellingly stupid.
