i’ve seen enough. and by that i mean lots of evidence. If you’re running an account that uses phrases like “antifascist,” or anything in the vicinity, the FBI, the NYPD, it doesn’t really matter, it’s all the same thing now, you’re on a watchlist.

The MAGA initiative to run up on HBCU campuses starting shit under the guise of a “debate” is the ultimate in weirdo behavior.

You don’t want us in White spaces and we don’t go but y’all and your pet 🦝 won’t leave us alone in our own spaces. Crazy shit.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

Whiskey Pete gleefully braying anything makes it suspect.

Upon further reflection this goes into the same bucket as the information that Ghaddafi went to CGSC at Leavenworth (making him more qualified to be SecDef than WP); interesting and largely unimportant.

Been off the beat for a hot minute, but the US has for decades housed training units for foreign Air Forces at US bases? Singapore has had a base in Arizona since 2001, and they train in Idaho sometimes.

I knew that we trained other nations pilots on the planes we sold them, but I did not know that they kept their own planes here.

What alternate evil will make AI companies profitable in the end?

Gravy Crockett @bostonjerry.bsky.social · 20h

AI doesn't make money, it burns it. And unlike every other big tech innovation of our lifetime, it actually gets LESS profitable as it scales larger and larger.

It's the opposite of a viable business model.

‼️‼️‼️

When Klein scolds that "we have to live here with each other" he is making a statement about who it is he is getting ready to live with and who he is getting ready to live without, and most gallingly he is ignoring the fact that when it comes to supremacists all of us have been living with them already all along. Nobody is suggesting mass deportation of white supremacists, or the dissolution of straight marriages, or stripping away health care for conservatives. The troops and the cops weren't ever sent down primarily white streets, masked kidnappers aren't terrorizing white churches or corporate courtrooms. These supremacist hatemongers are being criticized, yes, and opposed, yes, and yes the culture of violence they have created sometimes ricochets back on them, but we are living in the country they demanded on having. We are all now experiencing the Republican proposition for humanity. Many of us are demanding they stop pursuing this proposition, and Republicans and other supremacist hatemongers insist this demand represents violence against them. Klein, by drawing the lines where he draws them, is agreeing with Republicans about this.

So Republicans have taken over social media, news media, and now voting machines. Along with every branch of the government. Not frightening, at all.

When did the definition of a hoodrat change? Cause my understanding was that a hoodrat is a kid from the burbs/with money, hanging out in the hood trying to be "street."

Do these guys actually believe that Soros is paying protesters or are they flagrantly lying?

I'm not sure which is worse, but it's one or the other.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
