Nicolás Maduro repeatedly denied the will of the Venezuelan people, including when two thirds of them voted for an end to decades of political & economic ruin and criminality.

Imagine if, say, a single rock song, or a comic book, or a role playing game, or a video game, or horror movie, a chocolate bar, a toy, or, say, a person like a librarian or teacher, had an actual direct causal body count like this.... Imagine the furore, the witch hunt in the press, the outrage...
OpenAI is now facing a total of 8 wrongful death lawsuits from grieving families....who claim that ChatGPT, in particular, the GPT-4o version, drove their loved ones to suicide. Soelberg’s complaint also alleges that company executives knew the chatbot was defective before it pushed it to the public
He put his complete trust in a chat bot that turned him into a savage murderer.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

More broadly, this is a depressing death knell to the idea — already on life support — that U.S. foreign policy cares *at all* about democracy and human rights, in Latin America or elsewhere.
Now we love dictatorships, just so long as they're willing to give us a cut of the proceeds.

Want an easy, low-effort New Years resolution that will actually have a tangible, exponentially positive impact on your life and your community? Resolve to start wearing a mask again in public in 2026.
Give a big Fuck You to the fascists who want to control you, the capitalists who want to exploit you, and the vultures who want to make money off your insecurities by ignoring the "Time to get working on your beach body!" bullshit and instead committing yourself to something that is 100% proven to actually improve your health by protecting yourself from catching and spreading respiratory illnesses.
2026 is going to be hard enough. There are a lot of things that are out of our control, and a lot of us feel pretty helpless. This is one thing you can do to take control of your health and actually protect your community. Make 2026 a little easier for yourself and everyone around you. Wear a mask.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gk37usltp33otvjzggdte4uh/bafkreihhbupu4eqbxfmmi7woafaghm3gmclqna65prl3ancxnp774vcpqa@jpeg)

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

some kids saw jurassic park and became paleontologists others watched indiana jones so got into archeology I watched the net with sandra bullock and knew the adult life I wanted: to barely know my neighbors minimize in-person relationships and communicate almost exclusively on the computer and calls
That was part of a whole era when people were making movies about being Online. Being Online was portrayed as this glamorous, exciting lifestyle. Picture intense closeups of people's faces as they logged on, smash cuts to their fingers typing on the keyboard, intense musical score in the background.
I remember being excited to watch Sandra Bullock in the net

For the most part I try to make what other folks are doing not my business. Twitter was enabling some pretty horrifying shit for a long time, but putting a "take this child actress's dress off" button on there is a level of "what the fuck are you doing on this site" that is hard to grapple with.
if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this.
It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.
