Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

tweetbot had timed mutes and i mourn it daily. not sure why it’s not a first-party feature anywhere. tweetbot guys were supposed to make a bluesky version this summer but it’s delayed 😞

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

AMERICA: "green tech"? Lol yeah right. Sounds fake and probably gay

CHINA: okay we'll do it then

NYT: What Is To Be Done About The Perfidious Chinese

i should give you his number, he’s been shoehorning MICHAEL into a truly surprising number of conversations for decades

my dad loves this movie. there is a scene where michael eats a bunch of cereal and he thinks it’s so funny. and he sings a song about pie, which he also thinks is hilarious. i can scarcely think of a movie he’s had a stronger reaction to, and no one has ever heard of it. rightly.

They're calling it "the wrongest post of all time"

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

The hubris to call your podcast "pod save America" when you're just a bunch of pathetic The West Wing cosplayers who cleaned up dog slobber for Obama while he was creating problems for you to podcast about

there's this interesting reoccurring theme in history where it sucks to be ruled by sub-gutter freaks with dead dog brains

ohhhhhh all the dem politicians are my personal friends and i will defend them online for free because instead of an ethical politics i only understand celebrity worship and being a little worm for authority!! stop being mean to my friends!!

in the US, your doctor has to ask your insurance if its ok for your kids to get medicine. and if they dont use the exact right phrasing, you dont get any.

this is one reason we have to get all the people who work at health insurance companies into one place so we can "figure something out"

Same thing happened with the Iraq War! So many savvy Responsible Adults later admitted it was a huge tragic mistake, but that somehow they were still right for supporting it when they did. Who did they still think WAS wrong, though? Those dumb filthy hippies who opposed it too early!

you can get it working with icloud drive but it’s kind of janky

The Times has not gotten nearly enough shit for refusing to publish any of the hacked material from the Trump campaign and less than a year later using hacked materials provided by a white nationalist to rush out a quarter-assed hit job about inane trivia on a Democratic primary winner

One great impenetrable mystery of the New York Times is whether the people who control the institution truly are this stupid or if they're just stupid enough to think everyone else is that stupid

Okay, but what’s the source wearing

scrawny 18-year-old about to fall out of an army helicopter over tehran: this is so epic. this is totally sigma, right babe?

AI e-girl operated by a balding intelligence officer in virginia: that's right baby, Iran is totally cringe

this is the real use case for AI: creating a centralized source of "truth" that can be altered at the whim of its fascist owners. technology cannot be disconnected from its financial backing & political consequences. pretending it "could be useful" in a vacuum is a fantasy. bsky.app/profile/pale...
