There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

Like what the fuck did you think they were texting? Did you think they endorse violence out loud and are nice in private to one-another? Of course they joke about gas chambers and rape and mass murder.

Are you here with us as bombs are being dropped from the sky on two million Palestinians?

I'm so pissed about the outrage re: young GOP messaging each other lols about rape and gas chambers and "watermelon people" & Jewish people.

Like they're saying this shit in BILLS. That anyone who aborts a child should be KILLED. THERE ARE MASKED GUNMEN ON OUR STREETS KIDNAPPING.

So the Manitoba government issued a press release today, declaring a big jump in full-time employment between August and September: 11,100 jobs.

That looks good … until you look at more than one month of data. 1/x

Oh OK. Well, I usually crack one or two at a time and don't mix in. So it's like a crunchy topping that I keep reapplying.

I was taking out the leftovers tonight and some of the sweet and sour meatball sauce had got all in some corn and I was like "welp that's garbage now" then I remembered others in the house would love that. 😵‍💫🤣

No, I’m sorry. I can’t do another round of “No, the Nazis weren’t socialists.” You’re just going to have to read a book or Wikipedia article or ask your AI butler to explain it to you or wait for the sun to burn out.

Another interesting thread on COVID variant tracking and chronic infections.

If XFG drives the extinction of JN.1* we will have our first reset in 2 years. While XFG isn't that different than JN.1*, the reset provides a useful tool.

Here's where that becomes useful for me. Once a lineage is driven to extinction, then every time you see that lineage in a patient, you know that it was almost certainly a persistent infection.

For instance, XBB* essentially went extinct around June 2024.

However, if XFG truly displaces all of the JN.1s, it means that every single circulating lineage in the world will be derived from a recombination that occurred in a single patient.

Isn't that wild?

Thinking about the academic promoters of AI who criticize kneejerk anti-AI sentiment—often by promoting very specific technical use cases— all while ignoring the fact that we are all pretty fucking familiar with actually existing AI and the way it is destroying entire fields of knowledge production.

Lolol. If it's a mouse they're very quick. Or maybe it is in there and just stays put somewhere in between.

I have to say if I saw it peeking through the light in the car roof while I was driving, things would get interesting. 🤯
