Liberals are anti leftist first, anti conservative second. The priorities are in that order and if they have to tank every election to stop leftist momentum they will.

liberals who think the left are uniquely hostile online should do a test post, say you think it was bad that obama killed so many people with drone strikes, something like that. if you think the left are mean, you aren't ready for the wrath of the scratched liberal

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

being online is amazing you can say "our democratically elected officials should be doing something and/or should have done something previously to prevent the current political climate from developing to this point" and someone will argue with you

i may not know the right answer to what to do when the toilet is flooding, but i know "pour more water" is the wrong one

"well what are the Democrats supposed to do" I don't know! They're supposed to know! I'm not the one who sought and obtained a political position that would require me to know what to do when the ruling party attempts to install the President as a dictator!

this is your fucking job that you're being paid to do. Imagine asking your plumber to stop your dishwasher from flooding your apartment and he's like "well what exactly do you want me to do?" The specifics are your part dog idk!

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 3d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Democrats and Republicans so it looks like a debate with two sides, but everyone sitting there agrees on the actual subject of the discussion.

that and his handling of depp v heard and baldoni v lively are legitimate things to bring up, but his most obsessive haters are to the right of him on all three issues so thats how we end up at this

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

everything is on fire these days, sure, but how is it that 50% of all news stories are not about how I just spent $20 on a bag of store brand coffee at fucking costco

Within the next year or two -- probably sooner --anyone who hates you will be able to generate any kind of defamatory video of you doing or saying something awful, and it will be so indistinguishable from a real video that you simply won't ever be able to prove that it's fake. Literally nothing is being done to prevent this from happening. We can all see it coming and our leaders are doing precisely nothing at all to stop it.

@MattWalshBlog • 4h
It's weird that we can all clearly see how Al is about to wipe out millions of jobs at once, destroy every artistic field, make it impossible for us to discern reality from fiction, and destroy human civilization as we know it, and yet not one single thing is being done to stop it. We aren't putting up any fight whatsoever.

Matt Walsh
@MattWalshBlog
Just typing a prompt and having Al generate a film is literally not filmmaking. You are not making the film.
The Al is making the film. And the Al has no feeling, no thought, no soul, so what it spits out will inevitably be soulless and meaningless, even if it's technically impressive. Al will be the death of art because art is an expression of the human soul.
Soulless art is not art. It is anti-art.

the above is a quote tweet of:

If you tell a robot to paint a picture of a tree, you are not in any sense a painter. The robot is the painter.
You are nothing but a spectator. And the painting has no meaning because the artist (which is the robot) is not even conscious.

Astonishingly disgusting.

A few days before the taping, Colbert's producers held a prep call with the candidates and their aides. The sample questions covered basic political topics, such as the meaning of democratic socialism. Right before the candidates went onstage, the producers appeared in the greenroom and said that they wanted to go over a few more questions. Earlier that day, a group of prominent Jewish figures, including Elisha Wiesel, the son of Elie Wiesel, had sent a letter to Colbert demanding that he grill Mamdani on his views of Israel. According to people who were in the room, one of the producers suggested a "thumbs-up or thumbs-down" segment: "Thumbs-up or thumbs-down: Hamas. Thumbs-up or thumbs-down: a Palestinian state."

Mamdani's face dropped. "I just couldn't believe what was happening," he told me. "That a genocide could be distilled into a late-night game." His aides were incensed. "You have the first Muslim candidate for mayor in the history of New York," Zara Rahim, a senior adviser to Mamdani, told one of the producers. "You don't want to ask him a question about that?" (CBS did not respond to a request for comment.) In the end, the game didn't happen, but Colbert did ask Mamdani whether he believed that Israel had the right to exist. "Yes, like all nations, I believe it has a right to exist," he said. "And a responsibility also to uphold international law."

might be a hot take but i dont see the difference between being a disney adult and being a hardcore fan of anything else

"would you date a hardcore NFL fan? would you date a star wars adult? what about someone who really likes legos?"

idk yes? you said they were perfect for me, whats the problem?

Kath Barbadoro @kathbarbadoro.bsky.social · 1d

If you started dating someone and they seemed perfect for you but you found out they were a Disney adult would you still date them
