This puts mainstream Democrats in a real pickle. Should they support their incredibly popular mayor or a foreign leader who is best friends with Trump and works overtime to get Republicans elected. No easy answer here

Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

Looking forward to an episode of Last Week Tonight that’s just an ICE agent holding a gun directly to John’s temple as he presents an episode on how every systemic problem he’s ever covered is good actually and he disavows his previous work.

Just saw HBO is coming out with some odd new series like “eugenics: the lost science” and “billionaires and why they deserve their money”. Boy the changes sure came hard and fast, huh?

rolled out of my bed this morning and barreled down Linwood for 10 minutes to have the privilege of watching a neighbor get kidnapped with his son in front of a YMCA and high school, busses full of kids watching, while a kcpd officer joyfully cooperated. It was a car crash. How did ICE know?

Think about how many times you’ve said a rich and powerful person was so woefully out of touch that they no longer understand how anything works. To the rich our labor—the rat catcher—is magic that serves them. To the rich, education that disillusions their children is foul sorcery—the Pied Piper.

Piper@the-pied-piper.bsky.social · 16h ago

The rich want you to think the Pied Piper is about the Black Death or strangers or kidnapping children. It’s about the importance of having a system that guarantees fair wages for fair work fairly completed under a fair deal fairly made. Or else. Elite accountability, in bright, garish colors.

I have multiple mmo characters named Pied Piper older than the show. It’s a very famous fairy tale. One which damn near everyone seems to miss the point of, which I think is most of what’s wrong with our society tbh. Fair wages for fair work fulfilling a fair deal fairly made. Or else.

In many ways I think Huang is the most dangerous of the big AI/big tech CEOs because he’s the only one that is genuinely competent, actually understands the technologies roughly as an engineer would, and isn’t a cultist. He uses that to run rings around the others and rip off the entire world.

Matt Ford@mford.bsky.social · 2d ago

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading. What do you think when you hear that? The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter? That’s my question for you. Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does. But there must be some set of skills that matter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those. There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.

The only silver lining to some of the most powerful people in the country being in a wacky AI doomer sex cult is I was finally able to get my boss to read the Interracial Cuck Porn Theory of Everything because brining that article up was way less weird than brining any of this up already is.

If you’re unwilling to say “I am committed to restoring the rights and security trans people had five years ago” then I do not trust you when you promise to restore the norms of justice and responsible governance to what they were five years ago either. I will never vote for a transphobe.

Piper@the-pied-piper.bsky.social · 2d ago

I will never vote for any Democrat who supports any ban on or reduction of trans rights. Anything short of enthusiastic defense of human rights and I will not vote for you.

Michael@fleerultra.bsky.social · 3d ago

this is FAR more demotivating than some left wing shitposting or podcasting critic of the democratic party can ever be

Meredith Shiner@meredithshiner.com · 3d ago

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

Political winds do not only flow from voters to politicians, they go in reverse as well. Democrats running ads like these signal to the general public and their voter base that this issue now has support by both parties, and that hating trans people is publicly acceptable. They do harm to us.

New Mary Peltola ad. “No, I don’t want kids getting surgeries to change genders, or men in girls bathrooms.” Dem, (AK-AL)

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · 3d ago

What I can't get over is the Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers. Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game.

John Muller@mrjohnmuller.bsky.social · 3d ago

I don't think Trump is going to be able to transphobia his way out of these numbers. He's gonna try, it will be absolutely disgusting and incredibly harmful, and it will fail.
