if a guy said Exxon makes Lil Wayne drink gasoline and that's why his music is bad now, you might be like, "well I hate Exxon and love Lil Wayne, but I don't think that's true." But the first guy would go "Everybody, look! This guy hates Lil Wayne! He wants to marry Exxon!" this is the RFK maneuver

JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

Please retweet this. It is not good for this sort of misinformation to spread as wide as it already has.
okay this image is weird. when i pasted it in gimp the artifacts became a lot less noticeable. same thing when i move my browser window to a different monitor. but yeah i bumped the exposure on the image to make the editing much more clear

Goddamn dude, just go ahead knock 25 percent off my 401k and get on with it, I can't take much more of this.
What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

Drive by dooming where you jump into somebody‘s mentions to tell them Donny Trump will wiggle his way out of this jam is the posting equivalent of being a pigeon shitting on random passerby.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

I know the problem is bigger that one thing (waves hands at boomers, neoliberalism, financialization, the breakdown of the New Deal coalition, stagflation panic) but I really think there’s an argument to be made that the Nixon pardon was the single most destructive political act of the 20th century

My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

A commonly-misunderstood aspect of computer security is that you are battling computers.
No. That is not right at all. Computers are barely involved.

Not to put too fine a point on it but if you genuinely cannot understand that people have different, genuinely held beliefs than you do (be they religious, political, whatever), you are at best a moron, At worst a [insert modifier] supremacist, and in all cases not able to bridge gaps between people
Love to get on bluesky dot app and have people tell me my religion is fake and created for social control, a. reddit /r/aetheism shit is extremely tired now in 2025 and b. it’s massively insulting to keep @ing me with this fucking shit and I’m frankly skeptical you’d do this to non-Christian beliefs

Yeah, I think there’s a balancing act that’s hard here. I do think we need to give people room to reflect and grow. But it’s the act of growing we need to celebrate, not the suboptimal starting point.
If you all want an actual Most Woke Opinion, it’s that romanticizing backwater patriarchs who only have themselves to blame for their ills is a betrayal of every battered housewife, lynched minority, and queer kid cowering in the closet.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

There’s a kind of person who grew up upper-middle class and whose politics now treat that as some kind of unforgivable sin because they think their upbringing was cringe and believe the only way to be absolved for this sin is to advocate against things that would help them. It’s dumb as hell.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
