Lol the first graph in the wiki you linked proves my initial point, no? Harris was polling in the lead, a pretty big one for a minute, then frittered it away

I found another hyper intelligent entity. Answers every question perfectly and requires far less energy consumption than traditional AI models

I rarely post about sports but Bill Belichick isn’t a first ballot hall of famer bc he cheated, repeatedly, and it was probably much worse & more extensive than what was uncovered publicly www.si.com/nfl/2015/09/...

Well it’s only the teeny tiniest step toward what needs to happen but this Nazi prick lost his job that IS significant

Case in point:
Headline of a column by Jamelle Bouie from May 4 2016 reads “Donald Trump Isn’t Going to Be President”

Posts like this first image are astounding to me when I’m constantly reading stories like this second image.
A tweet saying no one should blame Dems for anything and acting like it’s a psyop to do soA story with a picture of Schumer & Jeffries saying they don’t want to pick a fight over ICE during the next budget negotiations

The kind of mainstream Dem super fan criticizing @katmabu.bsky.social here never acknowledges that you can change public opinion, change the conversation, force the issue etc by loudly doing the right thing even if it doesn’t work at first. Better to do nothing I guess

Trump just invaded Venezuela and kidnapped the President and his wife so let’s check in on the top Democrats’ swift responses to this enormously risky and profoundly illegal act

wtf?! This is absolutely insane I wonder if the whole world will just stand for this too, does Trump just get to kidnap whatever world leaders he wants or does some kind of rule still apply to him?

Wasn’t this the reason Democrats ended the shutdown?
Congress doesn’t appear on track to extend Obamacare subsidies

The FIFA peace prize looks… like it ought to look actually. Rotting zombie hands holding up an earth composed of mouldering corpses, given by one of the globe’s most corrupt organizations to one of its most corrupt national leaders. Very nice.

This is so amazingly corrupt I know it’s kind of par for the course but still worth pondering for a moment: From @juddlegum.bsky.social ‘s great newsletter

I already knew AI generated music was a problem on Spotify but here’s a new one (to me anyway): an AI generated song posing as a new single from a defunct band, in this case the great Here We Go Magic. Turned up on my suggestions and I thought they were making music again but nope, generic AI slop
Spotify page for the fraudulent AI song

Like everyone I get all sorts of political fundraising texts and I normally don’t pay them any mind but this one is annoying bc, as a former BK employee myself I can tell you they don’t “flip” the burgers at all. The frozen patties go on a conveyor belt over the flame grill. Why lie like this?
Political text soliciting donations says the candidate “flipped burgers at Burger King.”

Just a reminder 155 House Dems voted to ban Tik Tok so that young people would no longer be able to see what was happening in Gaza. Now Trump has handed it over to his buddies 👍

lol of course

The normalizing of this madman is ridiculous through the whole article, but you can see it all in the headline
RFK is insane this article makes him appear like any other politician

She’s actually still protesting the on-going genocide, just like she was during the election. It took me two minutes on Google to find this.

I love how they frame the quote with the most charitable and sensible possible interpretation of words that are actually straight up crazy:

She dropped out two months before primary voting had even started in order to support Biden? Even tho her biggest moment of her campaign was when she went after Biden on bussing? www.npr.org/2019/12/03/7...
