@skinnylatte I like to think that this one is a sea otter who wants to get an office job

@skinnylatte It was so infuriating watching liberals go from principled defenders migrants during the Trump years to cheerleaders for Trump policies that Biden continued and elaborated on. Leading up to the election it was nauseating watching them grouse about how Trump didn't allow them to "fix" the border with a fascist law.

I'm surprised these liberals aren't going back to "principled" defense of migrants. I was kind of looking forward to it, but I guess the Overton window has shifted.

@skinnylatte I can’t imagine an obsession with tacos ever being described as outsized given that they are the perfect food.

"Medvedev said Russia should expand its goals to include seizing all of Ukraine."

I seem to remember them trying this a couple years ago and failing miserably.

I sure hope that Harris gives Ukraine the weapons to win the war. I was just reading something about how the US didn't allow Ukraine to strike airfields full of attack aircraft in Russia with our weapons. In the end they just used their own inferior weapons which made it far less effective.

The goal should be the expelling of all Russian forces from Ukraine. With unrestricted use of American arms, the Ukrainians could do it.

It really is fascinating that making the world a better place never crosses the conservative mind as a solution to population decline.

It really would be great if the Democratic leadership would take the judicial coup seriously.

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline.

None of the great shit Biden promises to do matter unless he adds justices to the Supreme Court.

Anything that is good for Americans will be struck down as unconstitutional because of some made up bullshit.

I think one reason why I’m so angry with America is that I believed the propaganda. All men are created equal. No one is above the law. All that.

I think that all people should be treated the same. Everyone should have the same opportunities.

Realizing that it is all bullshit that wealth and whiteness shielded me from was radicalizing.

As Prop sings, “I don’t hate America, just demand she keep her promises.”

Seeing what is going on in India right now fills me with a sense of dread. We are going to see so many mass death events just from extremely hot temperatures. It is awful and no one is taking it seriously.

I think the one reason why I’m voting enthusiastically for the fuckers facilitating genocide is this: the last fucker tried a coup and wants to get rid of any checks on his power.

I would like to be able to vote again in 2 years. Things can get worse, and they absolutely will get much worse for literally everyone under a Republican administration.

I hate it when people with little understanding of finance get swindled. It is one reason I hate crypto currencies and the people who promote them so much.

But I don't feel anything like that for these people. Anyone supporting Trump after 1/6 is a fascist. Fuck them.

@drewharwell

I hate it when people use the word hallucination to describe when an LLM confidently bullshits.

That is just want it is, bullshit. LLMs are like their creators like that. It is just a typical Silicon Valley con.

Depends on from whos perspective. From the Israelis perspective, "warning civilians" has been extremely effective at giving them a talking point to say that they aren't targeting civilians. Much of the world is going along with that pleasant fiction.

@TCatInReality

@thomasfuchs @joesabin It isn’t that hard. Killing civilians is bad. Doesn’t matter the side. Israelis and Palestinians are just two sets of people like you are me.

So we are going use an aircraft carrier to support Israel, one of the most powerful nations on earth, bomb Hamas and civilians in Gaza.

Fuck Hamas, I hope they die, but I don’t think we are going to win the hearts and minds of the people of Gaza if we kill a shitload of their children.

We do this all while we don’t do shit for the SDF against Turkey, the Armenians being genocided by Azerbaijan, or more forcefully helping Ukraine.
