Aaron Swartz is no longer here to tell us what he saw like twenty years ago. futurism.com/artificial-i...

one explanation is that chemicals in the air or water are making everyone stupider every year and we haven’t noticed because we’re all too stupid. this hypothesis would help explain why everything and everyone is really stupid now

52 senators voted in favor of allocating an additional $70 billion to fuel ICE and Border Patrol's campaign of chaos and violence in our communities without any reforms. The House of Representatives must reject this bill and any attempts to give ICE more money to violate our rights.

Well, it happened again. I got put on the jumbotron at the grocery store and everyone booed my groceries

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

“.. four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. ‘Zero dollars have been deposited,’ one said.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5ba3...

Reminder: giving "well-off kids" a free lunch is a tiny, tiny thing to their parents and to the taxpayer. Giving free lunches to poor families is a massive help. Policing who "deserves" lunch costs far more than just giving everyone an equal benefit, and doesn't stigmatize anyone.

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

Had that dream again, the one where I sneeze and Jesus is there but instead of saying "bless you" he just says "cover your mouth"

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

caelan has been documenting the worst in a sea of AI psychosis cases, because if they don't, nobody will. Until you actually watch these, you just do not comprehend the evils of this shit. Environment notwithstanding this shit needs to be regulated into oblivion. You can't watch this and be neutral

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

It is consent violations all the way down. These businesses should not exist, and their ill-gotten wealth should be expropriated.

DOJ identified 4 green card holders who voted in 2024 in NJ, or 0.00006% of total votes. As I wrote in 2024, noncitizen voting remains extraordinarily rare. Audits find only a tiny handful of cases, most often green card holders who got bad advice from others.

The resulting potato-eating orgy took out eyes and slapped off smirks with its morsel-barrage of peels and chunks. At a press conference, when asked what sparked the frenzy, the largest beaver took to the podium to make no sound whatsoever, as is a beaver's wont so far as I know.

The real headline is that House Republicans and 14 terrible Dems just voted to deny access to SNAP to millions of people. Do not let any one of these fuckers tell you they're pro-life. They want people to starve and suffer & their votes repeatedly prove it. Here's the list of shitty Dems, btw

The only mainstream journalists speaking truth to power these days are cartoonists. @adamzyglis.bsky.social

The government just gave a $2.4 billion subsidy to the fossil fuel industry by cutting the gas tax, an industry currently seeing record profits. Anyone who's angry about that same government spending $27 million a year on health care for anyone is a piece of shit who's also really bad at math.
