The appalling smearing of Zohran Mamdani as 'anti-semitic'
It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

the entire political project of the american right is to create a hierarchy with protected in-groups and punished out-groups. there is no moral nor political upside in meeting them half way on any of those out-groups. the only people in a bubble are those who deny that hierarchy is their agenda

It’s so interesting to see these urgent exhortations to reestablish decorum. I have not seen evidence of a “coarsening” of American society. If anything, the opposite: I’ve seen thousands of individuals asserting their humanity and protesting the indignity of the system UHC profits from.

please remember and inform others that ICE cannot search a home, business, or other non-public part of an indoor space without a JUDICIAL warrant SIGNED BY A JUDGE. if they show you an ADMINISTRATIVE warrant from DHS, that does NOT give them access.

I see a lot of folks saying they don't feel bad about NYT and I remember when Hulk Hogan sued Gawker into oblivion with Peter Thiel's money and people said the same thing. Dislike NYT all you want! There are a lot of ways it sucks! That is not a good reason to root for de facto dismantling of 1A.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

So while I have everyone’s attention if you care about public health, people getting their social security checks on time, or anything else the federal government does for the common good, read about #ScheduleF and then call your reps — yes esp the GOP: www.marketplace.org/2024/10/31/s...

Schedule F would expand the role of political appointees. Here's what that could mean for agencies like the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In the hunt for a scapegoat, some are arguing that there's been too much focus from Democrats on transgender rights. There's no evidence backing that up.

Anyone that wants to build a leftist movement in the US and doesn’t think that radical political education needs to be at the center of it should not be trusted. No more “it’s not my job to educate you.” We need to educate everyone. We need people to be angry that they are being robbed.

I’ve heard sd if Israel didn’t get arms from the US they’d just get them elsewhere. Beyond ?s of moral accountability, the US doesn’t sell weapons a la carte, but entire systems: the F15, Iron Dome, cruise missiles are complex integrated systems that wld collapse if the US stopped re-supplying them
