The opposite of “woke” is willful ignorance. Gen X, mostly TTRPGs and politics. BLM. Sex work is work. TERFs are trash. Fetuses aren’t people. Fascism is bad, actually. Matthew 6:5. He/him.

A Kid Rock/Eminem collab. On a Christian album. God, what a trash fire. Could you imagine?
Post from The Express U.S.:

“Kid Rock has opened up about his
collaboration with Eminem, which will appear on his upcoming Christian album, Halfway 2 Jesus, set for release on October 17.”

Images of Kid Rock in a cowboy hat, and Eminem in a visor, for some reason.  The caption reads: “Kid Rock speaks out on Eminem collaboration but fans aren't happy.

Dark thread. Since we watched Musk literally push a "protect the Boers" button in real time with Grok, we now know people or companies could theoretically pay their way into putting a thumb on the scale for Grok/Claude/ChatGPT. This is why the AI stans want you to believe it's thinking

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19. This was a toss up. There were four or five solid contenders.

Note: “while” is not the most accurate word here. A better word would be “because.” Corporate profits are at record highs, BECAUSE workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.

It’s really stunning how the USA has so swiftly shifted from being one of the most techno-optimistic and tech-industry-loving countries on earth, to a country where most people seem to assume - not incorrectly, at least in many cases - that tech is out to get them.

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

You slice into your cake. To your horror, the cake is a person, a horrid inversion of the cake meme, intended to show that we as a culture take life for granted at our peril. “The cake is a lie,” you think ruefully. You tearfully take a bite anyway. The chocolate frosting is delicious.

I wonder if there’s chatter about moving the UN headquarters out of the USA. There are subsidiary regional HQs in Geneva, Vienna, and Nairobi. At this point, any of them would be better choices than a nuclear-armed mafia state.

How much you want a bet the person who owns this sign thinks Donald Trump is Christian who was sent by God?
Image is a political yard sign stuck in a lawn. It shows a photo of James Talarico with red devil horns and a pitchfork. The sign says, “Satan’s choice for US Senate 2026: JamesTalarico.”

The caption reads: “The people who believe that Talarico, a literal seminarian, is Satan’s Choice are the same dumbos who believe those $5K checks are on the way.

But that’s…that’s how insurance works. People who pay their premiums and don’t file claims pay for the people who do file claims. It spreads the cost around. That’s literally what insurance is. Do these people literally not understand how anything works?

I can’t think of a single outlet that’s actually “friendly to the radical Left,” but I can think of a handful who Trump *accuses* of such, while they continually soft-pedal his fascism and lies.

Elder abuse. That’s what’s going on. This guy ought to be in hospice care, and instead they loaded him into a wheelchair, hauled him to the Capitol, and coached him* through a vote. (Is this even legal? If he can’t make that decision on his own, is that not textbook incompetence for the office?)

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "
