Trump will be removed.. Putin will be removed. Europe has only to win by backing Ukraine, even if it’s against Trump’s will.

We already pay the bills for the weapons anyway.

Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places.

If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

Weird scene at Portland City Hall as a group has gathered to demonstrate against a first reading of an ordinance that would fine landlords who rent their buildings for detention centers—they only want to revoke a permit—as a right-wing streamer Tommy Allen yells transphobic slurs into a megaphone.

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #ai and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.

So far it’s been working!

King of UK, to his own brother: "That does it, you're not a prince any more. Out you go."

US, now that Trump is clearly implicated: "Technically it's not really pedophilia if the girl is 14."

“How will this impact wildlife — especially amphibians?”
"Why use forest when industrial corridors exist?”

PGE's hosting a “community forum.” While they’re not _officially_ saying it’s about reviving their Forest Park transmission plan… the timing's hopping around suspiciously, like a red-legged frog trying to get our attention.
Earlier this year, PGE proposed removing almost 400 mature trees in […]
