where ya’ll from?

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.

A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”

That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.

I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter.

Yet in just the last few days:

-LAPD canceled its Flock contract.

-Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage.

-One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition.

The surveillance state isn't inevitable.

It advances when people are apathetic.
It retreats when people fight back.

Public pressure works. Keep pushing.

KEEP BULLYING TECH COMPANIES INTO REMOVING USELESS AND INVASIVE AI FEATURES!!!!!!!!

I still can't get over how there are things that are considered perfectly acceptable to do to children that, if you did to another adult, would be considered domestic abuse

This is what people mean when they say that children are an oppressed class

🚨 BIGGEST SCAM IN UFC HISTORY

Conor McGregor stepped into the cage, threw just TWO leg kicks, got dropped, then ate a few punches from Max Holloway.

McGregor stood back up — NO KO, NO TKO — and asked the ref to stop the fight because of an injury.

UFC gaves Max Holloway the win by TKO.

Fixed for the Vegas money. Disgraceful

I honestly hate that we've normalized the idea that all opinions are valid. I think we should get back to telling people that they are ill informed & ignorant

wiping meta off the face of the planet is strictly a net positive for humanity

[Seth Harp @sethharpesq]

Spending trillions to build out AI data centers proves that the American ruling class had the resources and ability to convert the grid to renewables and maybe save the planet but instead deliberately chose to cook us all and die for no reason but to produce demonic digital slop.

This is the shit that makes me proud to be American.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Ron wright @ronsterd89]

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.

No one wants to actually get better anymore everyone just wants to stay dysfunctional and be told that its okay and not their fault and there's nothing they can do about it anyway

[natalia✴️🍊☁️ @sublimeriot]

as americans, we live in a culture that rewards sociopathy and i need us to stop pretending otherwise. we exist in a cruel, domination centered hierarchal society that bleeds into every single persons psyche at the unconscious level. even so called “good people” perpetuate it.
