part of this is obviously national political conditions but don't underrate the extent to which a bunch of these incumbent republicans have never had to run a competitive general election campaign and basically do not know how to do it

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Eclampsia is deadly. The ONLY treatment is terminating the pregnancy/delivering the baby. Tierra Walker developed eclampsia before her fetus was viable … so she was left to die (and the fetus died too). Why? Because of the Texas abortion ban. This should be considered murder.

This is your reminder that former Prime Minister of the UK David Cameron once put his penis into the mouth of a pig's head and imitated oral sex with it while he was a student at Oxford. I have been in the room where that likely happened. An auspicious space.

The dumbest thing about the whole Ed Sheeran thing is he identifies as a "culturally Irish" musician, and is seemingly touring with half of Ireland, and yet somehow had no clue that Irish musicians have been the single longest and loudest chorus of voices in Europe about what is happening.

Remember Piggate, when we all learned against our will that David Cameron once shoved his hog in a dead pig's mouth in a fraternity initiation ritual? I bet that's the real reason why Cash Paddle is trying to change the FBI's no-fucking-animals rule. Anyway, we should abolish fraternities.

I kid you not, our paper on spatial apartheid was reviewed by apartheid itself. Literally, the (extremely famous) journal sent it to white South African reviewers who pointed out all these "papers" written by white South Africans DURING apartheid, that we failed to cite.

Continuing to engage with Harry Potter in 2026 is actively making the world a worse place. When the NHS stopped providing transition care for young people in their system, the suicide rate went up by 500%. This shit has a fucking body count.

"A bunch of people would rather post on Race War Now Dot Swastika rather than Bluesky because you keep making fun of their imaginary computer friend" is a RESOUNDING endorsement for the concept of hostility.
Part of a thread from some bluecheck:
Multiple people I know have told me that they love the idea of Bluesky, and want it to succeed, but have abandoned it for X because the use agentic tools in their work and find them incredibly useful, and feel that any mention of their usage here leads to hate and ridicule.

I wouldn't bring this up if it was just one person, but it was multiple people since the beginning of August who mentioned in passing something to the effect of either "I'd spend more time on Bluesky if people weren't so anti-AI" *or* "As much as I hate to be there all the useful AI talk is on X."

I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie).

I am just noting that for all the people here who say that people should get off X and spend more time here, the reason I keep hearing from people in various circles who would *like* to do that, but don't, is the vociferous belief of many here that there are no possible positive uses of AI.

When people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public. Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you. It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly. The expendable people. Eugenics.
