I can't believe that even our President has to spell it out, but pressure must be applied to the aggressor, not the victim.

Stephen Colbert, with grace and humor, is making his network overlords look like the most pathetic cowards imaginable, and that’s what they are. The last two nights have been a masterclass in courage and precise examples of how everyone should deal with this stupid administration.

Listen up pals. When the budget graphics don’t have any numbers, you need to flip the fuck out.
We're making careful choices and investing to secure BC's future and protect what matters most to British Columbians. Budget 2026 priorities are protecting core public services, growing the economy, keeping taxes low and reducing the deficit responsibly.

Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

Tomorrow you may see James David Vance or some other purported Catholic from this administration with ashes on their forehead, it’s important to remember that it’s all just for show.

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:
"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."
He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

This is why we're still raising funds for our neighbors to shelter in place. Even if ICE left TODAY it's too late for so many people to make their rent if they haven't been able to work.

periodic reminder to delete the AI folder after MSFT Office's update
if it doesn't let you delete it bc it's "open" somewhere, go to your task manager, close every instance of Office, and try again
(even if you think you've deleted it, take 5 seconds to check and make sure it didn't reinstall)

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t.

They kept trying again and again — soon declaring Israel was committing genocide. Admin kept ignoring them.

Staph infections were fatal so often that we distinguished them by what part of the body they attacked first. "Childbed fever" is a term for a variety of post-birth complications that killed a lot of women. There are reasons wet nurses used to be so common. (And they're not all class-based.)
