Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

For @nysfocus.bsky.social and @thecity.nyc , I took a deep-dive into NYC’s Department of Social Services.
OT spending has soared while frontline positions processing SNAP and Cash Assistance applicants remain unfilled, impacting the city’s most vulnerable residents (with @reuvenblau.bsky.social)

With nearly 1,500 unfilled jobs and demand for public assistance at record highs, New York City’s Department of Social Services is leaning on mandatory overtime to keep up — and that’s before onerous new federal rules kick in. W/ NYSFocus.com

CNN made a business being feckless access hounds enamored by big tech.
And now everyone who could report on this is a feckless access hound enamored by big tech.

Trump: "I think the people that have run CNN are a disgrace. I think it's imperative that CNN be sold because you certainly wouldn't want to just leave those people with some money so they can spend even more spending poison. It's lies. I wouldn't want to see the same company end up with CNN."

My first act as world dictator is forcing rian johnson to make, against his will, "Knives Out: A Muppet Mystery"
Rian Johnson could exclusively make Benoit Blanc Mysteries for the rest of his career and I wouldn’t mind. The format and tone of this series is so flexible you could even have him solve a space murder and it wouldn’t feel out of place.

this is why liberals won't call for actual consequences. nothing trump is doing is something we didn't spend two decades doing throughout the middle east, central asia and africa during the war on terror. it's just that trump brags about it on social media too much
'Double strikes' allegedly used on Venezuelan boats accused of trafficking drugs were used extensively under Obama.

There’s no hope of an anti-fascist coalition if journalists do stuff like this without accountability. Crime was *down* under Boudin, who barely changed anything! It’d be like the SF Chronicle saying: “many in the city blame Boudin for city’s children becoming flat-earthers.”

Ex-official explained this in a way that will stick with me forever: Within fire departments, the EMTs are overworked and underpaid and don’t have time to advocate for policy. The fire chiefs, on the other hand, have a lot more time on their hands. So fire response, not medical, dictates policy.

Political Cartoons are, as a rule, the lowest form of both art and discourse, but THIS ONE here (from 2009) is like a mid-90s Simpsons joke and has only gotten better with time.

its actually not hypocrisy
because conservatives see any amount of femininity as sexual; any amount femininity is a license to sexualize
so developing secondary characteristics is license to them
and drag is hyperfeminine, which they read as hypersexual, and thus strange to them to have at brunch

Capitalism is older than calculus and yet we still have a recession that causes mass death every ten years, and I learned integrals at sixteen. No other field is taking the kind of Ls that capitalist economists are. It's like if physicists were still looking for a perpetual motion machine.

Men rape. Poor men more often. A poor man is incapable of taking part in epsteins globalist cabal of sex traffickers. Ask a poor man his opinion on Epstein in 2006 and he’d say “who?” Ask a rich woman, and she’d say “I recommended him read lolita, thought he’d like it”
