If the lessons Democrats (& democrats) draw from DOGE is “right idea, wrong implementation,” we are doomed. Everyone involved in the unprecedented crime that was DOGE needs to go to jail forever, & Democrats need to rebuild all of the programs & agencies first, not do digital management consulting 🤦‍♂️

the media landscape of 2026 is just one big dorm room occupied by a mushroom dealer who wants to tell you what he's pretty sure he remembers about Terrence McKenna

is this some kind of AI-driven content block? this article about the ongoing legal fallout of multiple allegations of sexual abuse of children in the local county schools has a random embedded video about celebs who used to be teachers. what is lin manuel miranda doing here.

all those people who called me "irresponsible" for advocating air strikes against specific data centers better be eating crow.

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

It’s so funny to me that there’s currently controversy in the US because Shane Gillis said the word “fuck” on Saturday Night Live yesterday. American morality is so weird. Swears are too bad to air. Also, we’re live-streaming a government sanctioned murder for you to watch!

this is a good reminder that it’s not just bbc news. it’s the whole organisation.

You know, I was originally not to enthusiastic about these pink-beanie-ass shirts but the fact that even this lukewarm piece of resist lib consumerism gets TERFs up the wall makes me actually want to get one!

Whistle requests: very light for a while, desultory printing, not a lot going on The last two days: 60 requests in 48 hours, tens of thousands of whistles requested Whistle goblins: have claimed 98% of the requests, and they're all moving out post haste

And it wouldn’t be a thread about weirdo right wingers with a soft spot for white nationalism without a 2007 poem lionizing Ian Smith by Curtis Yarvin, the court “intellectual” of the Silicon Valley billionaire set.

Of course, the neo-Nazi terrorists in the National States Rights Party were yuge fans of Ian Smith.

The other important thing to know about Rhodesia (and Ian Smith) fandom in the US is that it has a long history on the radical (and not so radical) right. Here’s the American Conservative Union, the people behind CPAC, stanning Rhodesia in 1978.

Remember, everyone, this isn't happening. Democrats are not campaigning against trans people. It's not happening.

Fuck's sake. AI bros will do anything but actually work on something. Also, I saw OP's name and had a visceral reaction. Sorry, OP!
