This is insane. I cannot believe we are such a trash fire country that CNN, who makes the news, is now in bed with the company that lets you bet on the news. As if they couldn't lose any more credibility now we'll know execs are spiking stories based on how they bet and not just to suck Trump off

AP News:

Responding to the use of her song “Juno” in a video montage depicting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, Sabrina Carpenter tweeted Tuesday: “this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

Every time you see someone publish a "think piece" with the phrase: "the question is no longer…but rather…"

that is a *dead giveaway* they are trying to distract you from what is *absolutely* the question.

Don't fall for it! 😂

This.

"We invested in new automation technology which dramatically increased profits, so now we're distributing those additional profits to all of our workers"

said virtually no corporation ever. 🤨
1725: Why the fuck did I lose my left hand for the same wages I earned while being 10x more productive than last year? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

2025: Why am I losing my job to a machine that encourages kids to kill themselves and can't actually do my job? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

As Karoline Leavitt continues to bluster and blunder her way through increasingly uncomfortable press spotlight on the Trump Admin's war crimes, worth recalling the President's opinion of her:

"It's that face, it's that brain, it's those lips—the way they move, they move like she's a machine gun."

$95 million…doing what exactly?? This brand has been on autopilot for years. Booooring!
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

I live not far from where this collision happened. 😢 This road is dangerous and some cars drive on it like it's a highway, not a street going through residential neighborhoods. Every time I cross SE Cesar Chavez on foot it makes me nervous. Every time.
Our community is devastated by the loss of of Grey Wolfe, a pedestrian using Cesar Chavez boulevard.

Last budget cycle I tried to bring an amendment to fund improvements to this road. My office is working to find funding for safety improvements again.

This can’t be the norm anywhere in Portland.
"Grey was a therapist, an activist, and an inspiration and support to many Portlanders over the decades. She would post activist posters on fence outside her office so people passing by on the sidewalk could learn from their messages." - Lois Leveen

“Individual actions and boycotts don’t matter…”

Until they do. 😊

It is never the wrong time to stand up for your rights and for those less fortunate than you.

Rosa Parks is the G.O.A.T. 🙌
70 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, sparking the Montgomery bus boycott. We all must continue to carry her legacy, fighting for equality and speaking up against injustice.

Jesus Christ, the "remastered" Beatles Anthology documentary they re-released is filled with AI slop. Look at John and Paul's faces, and the "T" on Beatles.

“Whoever it is, I’ll kill them. I'll kill them all.”

Pete Hegseth, or John Wick?
This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't.

It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy — the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool.

It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.
can’t fucking catch a breath

I’m watching a video by Tara Mooknee on Nebula about how “Sydney Sweeney’s Breasts Killed Wokeness” and how finally, FINALLY the blonde bombshell is back in the spotlight.

Yep, totally. Nobody had ever seen a blonde bombshell in *decades* before Sydney […]
