It would be something if Brazil started the movement to end the tech oligarchy and billionaires

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

"Everyone knows that the greatest threat to the upcoming midterm elections is not the Democrats or the Chinese, noncitizen voting, or electronic voting machines, but the president of the United States and his servile Republican Congress."

Conservative judge Luttig also warned about what Trump and the Republicans have planned for January 3rd and another attempt to steal the election, which they have already begun setting up. newrepublic.com/article/2151...

Everything is so stupid

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

AI is so stupid We care more about the enslavement of a computer which might be conscious than that of an animal which is 100% conscious I don't know if AI is conscious but I do know humans only care because it makes them question their place in the world as special thinking beings

Is it because AI speaks English? It knows grammar? Animals have always been conscious but we slaughter and eat them at will (I am not against eating meat but understand its ramifications)

This is America

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

Firmly suspicious of anyone who does not like something that is so firmly confident in itself but also so neurotic that it doesn't want you looking at it

Enjoyed this article about the growing number of men adopting cats, bucking gender stereotypes. Apparently Mamdani is allergic to cats, but has been getting allergy shots because his wife wants to adopt one. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/s...

If PA votes this person in again, I cannot take PA seriously - this is not a serious person who can represent reason

John Fetterman claims backlash to data centers is "driven by the CPP" and says Trump is right about them

People freaking out over the legal aspects of marriage is wild The state doesn't need to sanction your relationship.

WIRED@wired.com

Human-AI marriages are not currently recognized by US law. Some Republican state policymakers are drafting legislation to keep it that way. www.wired.com/story/people...

Times have definitely changed (for the better)

NYC Water@nycwater.bsky.social

The streets of NYC are HOT today, but that doesn’t mean it's a good idea to open up a fire hydrant full blast! Request a spray cap from NYC311 and the FDNY will come install one for free and YOU can beat the heat the right way!

Today, on the side of the Parkway was a broke down vehicle In the shade of the trees was a man sitting in a fold up chair cracking a drink open This was a person who understood how to make the most of a situation
