I don’t know how many new followers are real people and how many are bots, but you should know this about me: I have little patience for AI, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and whatever other environment-destroying nonsense you’re hyping. It’s garbage and that’s not subject to debate as far as I’m concerned

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Please, media. When a right wing politician tells you ANYTHING, please ask them “why do you think that” and maybe also “why should we believe you.”

My favorite character in Silksong is almost certainly Trobbio. The body postures, the emoting, the absolutely frenetic battle…love him.

I know I'm a broken record about AI, but if it can't turn a profit, and it's horrible for the environment, and it takes away jobs from actual human beings, and it's wrong half the time, WHY ARE WE STILL PUSHING SO HARD TO MAKE EVERYONE USE IT??

Nearly 30 years later, I still remember the football player in health class giving a talk on the importance of sexual consent. We were all like, ok, unexpected, but yeah 100% agree…right up until he continued, “cause girls are super quick to falsely accuse you of rape. Gotta record that shit, bro.”

This is huge news!

I refuse to lament when the most awful people in the world meet their end. I refuse to be polite and respectable about the dead.
If they say and do awful things in a way that makes the world worse, I say good riddance.

Chanda’s take here is spot on.
I was trying to firm up my thinking about why this episode was bothering me after watching it, beyond the obviously stupid “genetics mandate behavior/culture.” The thread helped it all gel for me.

Oh yes I will be writing an essay about how the SNW episode “Four and a Half Vulcans” is wildly offensive and normalizing race science that was mainstream and popular in United States in the 1850s

I wish the media would stop asking, “does Trump have the power to…”
It’s the wrong question. He isn’t offering (credible) legal or moral justifications for what he does.
The limits of his power are where everyone else decides to stop him. Neither the law nor his conscience will not constrain him.

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "If you look before January 20, and even after January 20, the men & women of ICE did not have to have masks on their face. Me personally, I don't want those officers having to wear masks bc it's hot, it's dangerous. But ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate"
