Going to work now feels like doing homework after the teacher quit and told the class that education is fake. Everyone just coasting on inertia and hoping there's still a point to all this

This is the most perfect boomer distillation. Everything they say is “this may destroy the planet and kill my children and their children, but I like it so anyone younger than me can eat shit and die.”

Y’all I am from OK and live in TX and have listened to country music pretty much all my life. But I just haven’t kept up lately because, like everyone here, I’m 38 and watching Star Trek. Why is Rolling Stone mad at me? wtf is going on?

So Republicans want intersex bathrooms? I thought the entirety of politics for the last 10 years was about the “wrong” gender in your bathroom. Now we want intersex bathrooms in the high schools? You know what? Whatever Jennifer wants is fine.

There is no such thing as art without a human on one end of the line and a human on the other end. In communication with each other.
A city that exists
There is no such thing as art without a human on one end of the line and a human on the other end. In communication with each other. Like a closed electric circuit (?) I could explain that better but I spent my life appreciating art. There are pieces of writing that stand on their own without any supplementary information but there's a reason that when we read a classic poem or short story we usually soon after want to know when and where and under which conditions it was written. Same with music. You can hear a song you like and appreciate it knowing little but the first question people often ask when you play them something by a new band is where are they from? It’s funny that you should ask because they are from a city that exists. Art is a conversation where the particulars of the world are made universal and the universal is made particular. Think about how powerful an engine of imagination it is for a young person hearing a band and learning that they are from some far off place – Tokyo or New York or even somewhere gross like the UK. It is a time portal. It is magic. It even works if the artist dead. So too with a painting. The little information plaque in the museum is an extraordinarily powerful tool. What if it said no one painted this nowhere? Well then you’d be looking at nothing. And now what would you be?

Please don't be fooled. They've had (very conservatively) almost two years to stand up for the constitution and they refused. They're only doing it now out of solidarity for members of their little incestuous tribe of access journalists.

Sad excuse for journalism: Big profile of DOGE lord doesn’t say a word about all the damage he did. And it was not an “ill fated cost-cutting effort.” It was a malignant, catastrophic attack on the government and its workers by arrogant and ignorant assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

He spent 11 months inside DOGE. Now he wants to set the record straight.
In his first major interview about his tell-all memoir, Tyler Hassen describes the culture clash surrounding DOGE’s mission and the backlash that followed.

As we get thrust into an unnecessary period of fascistic violence, war over resources, and the stripping of basic human services and dignity, the appeal of AI for the powerful isn’t just planning or war making, it’s creating a system that will do what they want and allow them to shirk all blame.

This is not at the top of the list of Awful Shit That Has Happened Because Joe Biden Was A Pussy, but it's on there. I don't care about anything else he did, the number one job of the President is to defend the country from enemies foreign and domestic and he didn't do that at all.

This is what conservatives do to everything they don’t like, defund it, let it rot, to the point that no one likes it, then completely get rid of it. American education, healthcare in the UK, etc. It’s a predictable pattern.

@attackerman.bsky.social reported on the Amnesty report at the time, and astutely compared it to the torture boxes at Gitmo, where Ron DeSantis, as a young military lawyer, oversaw the torture. So once again, mainstream media is months behind independent media. www.forever-wars.com/torture-tech...

Video: Trump Has Crowd Pledge Their Allegiance to Him and to Vote
President Trump closed the Republican convention by having the crowd pledge an oath to him. Vice President JD Vance cast Democrats as the “party of hatred.”

Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

Every time an election nears, the media bangs the drum about crime and violence overrunning our cities. Then they do a bunch of stories about how Rs are tough on crime. See how that works? Then right after the election they write a bunch of “crime is actually down. Why do people think it’s high?!?!”

Making care free for all? A big push to train and hire more doctors? No? Ah just the individualistic fash parts

There’s a thing Mormons do where they force teenagers to go out into a strange country and get doors slammed in their face for two years so they feel more compelled to the Mormon fold. And I think a lot of this man-o-sphere stuff is the same thing for incels.

I am learning from Trump that presidents can do whatever the fuck they want if it’s awful, stupid, corrupt, unethical, or illegal. But if they want to do anything good, it requires 60 votes in the senate, 3/4 of the house, and the parliamentarian (what?) has to be chill with it.

Congratulations to the New York Times' Euphemism Desk for coming up with a new one. Instead of stating that Maria Bartiromo was letting her guests lie, NYT says she was "permitting her guest commentators to free-associate." 1/2🧵
He had no such issues with Ms. Bartiromo, whose approach — at times permitting guest commentators to free-associate on live television — had not appeared to change much in the years since the Dominion settlement. Puck, a news website, earlier reported on Ms. Bartiromo’s conversations with Mr. Navarro.

It’s not an overstatement to say that Jones has spent the last 5-6 years steadily losing his mind on camera. His contortions have become fully divorced from real life and so wrapped in the type of stem-winding language that deliberately obscures what’s actually happening. He’s perfect for CNN.
