I have to agree with someone else -
The “Stephen Miller Door” IS a solid bit that would get big laughs on a late night show.

It also makes a fascist look silly.

The sentient AI in Harlan Ellison’s “I Have Mo Mouth…” becomes sentient when all the world’s defense supercomputers link up by themselves.

So we’re all gonna die because Sam Altman doesn’t have a library card.

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

I’ve preordered this and hope you will too. I think it’ll help all of us.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

The Portland frog brigade is great. Not only is it bringing smiles where they’re desperately needed, but it’s showing the fascists that they’re not taken seriously, they’re a joke (albeit a dangerous one) so they’ll be treated like one.

It’s fucking maddening - I fucking HATE AI but I’m not a terminally online idiot. This “swarming and mass blocking” is a problem here. It was weaponized by the author of “the Contraption” and the story is so long I don’t have time to energy to repeat.

She was fucking ASLEEP. She posted and went to bed. She woke up and deleted and now she’s deactivated thanks to terminally online idiots

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Remaining feds left the scene in a large caravan, deploying more tear gas straight into the crowd - and right at my feet - as they left.

Where is the expose on ICE training? Every video I see is six ICE agents desperately failing to subdue a single person - taking ten minutes to zip tie a person. Are these people just putting on badges and going out in the street?

The hard streets of Romeo Michigan, living in his millionaire father’s palatial 6000 sqft ranch on a 5.5-acre estate, complete with Apple orchard, tennis courts, and a barnyard for horses, is where young Mr Ritchie learned how to be a tough guy like Kid Rock.

Also, not from Detroit.

Today it would be “social media” instead of “radio.”

On the other app, the Assistant Secretary, Office of Public Affairs, Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin stated that the journalist was “throwing objects at ICE” hence the arrest. Will the media hold her to task for her lie?

These federal firings have nothing whatsoever to do with the government shutdown, and if that is not the lede of every report discussing them, and if you are the author of any such report, quit your job and learn to surf or something instead

Milkshake Boi on twitter is trying desperately to connect inflatable frogs with an Antifa strategy. It's hilarious and quite sad. Real flesh and blood humans aren't buying it, which means more than 80% of Andy's followers have bought it.
