First finished book of the year! (I will not be taking questions about that) And since I gave up on Goodreads, the most I’ll do is a reading thread now 😂

the pope: have you considered logging off and actually joining a community?

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree
mainstream media report on jd vance’s twitter mutuals, challenge level: impossible
He has already chosen, what the fuck are we doing here

Despite pleas from Gov. JB Pritzker to pause federal immigration enforcement operations while children celebrate Halloween, teams of Border Patrol agents — including one led by Cmdr. Greg Bovino — tore through Chicago’s Northwest Side and nearby suburbs.

You cannot say Americans aren't ready for socialism when Halloween exists in its current glorious form.
Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.

The fact that they’re doing this in Edison Park. I was just saying I didn’t think they’d go into a nhood like this one or mount greenwood (haven’t read of cases there). Nowhere is safe in Chicago rn.
Border Patrol grabbed workers from the front yard of a home in Edison Park this afternoon then took them behind an office building in Niles and passed them off to a prisoner van. Woman came out to MF them and said "you're in the most conservative neighborhood in the city and nobody wants you here."

Ok watching more of the videos, this might be one block over from where I grew up? But I can't read the street sign and the houses there all look like this!
EDISON PARK????? This is like a few blocks from where I grew up, it is blue lives matter central, they are absolutely losing any public support they might have.
Here's a short video of an Edison Park man confronting border patrol. You can hear others in the background. #chicago
Yea! Honestly, as long as you like the actual music, who cares if you also think the singer (who is actively trying to be hot in most cases!!) could get it!
Like, why do people feel the need to do that weird juxtaposition?
I keep getting reels in my instagram feed that are like "oh I'm a fan of seventeen bc they are silly, never because they're hot" and I do need you all to know I am absolutely here bc I would climb Mingyu like a tree given the opportunity!

hi just a reminder that the primary uses of "A.i." are cheating, fraud, disinfo, and harassment.

ban it from your life as much as you can, friends.
For @spitfirenews.com, I found that increasingly realistic AI-generated videos are being deployed to harass, smear, and create endless offensive content of influencers, whose likenesses are already readily available online. It’s happening to private figures, too.

AI-generated influencer scandals are here
Now anyone can play with the hyperrealistic likenesses of public figures.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

This is the best thing I've read on what the post-Trump constitutional order needs to look like. A proportional House that can remove the president without the kangaroo court of impeachment (which has literally never worked).

Beautiful. Somebody who gets it.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
My sister calls it Night World (actually, I should see if she is returning to night world with her new job.....)
