@TLMayMAGA47 @briantylercohen And yet the GOP has NO ANSWER to a better system than the ACA ("Obamacare") despite having said they had a better plan since 2009.

@briantylercohen Bullshit. Obamacare is socialism! Welfare is socialism! Every Dem project and program takes from one group to give to another. It's SOCIALISM and hurts those who WORK for a living. Dem policies lead to the demise of the middle-class. You're stupid or willfully blind.

Republicans have been making this argument my entire life. We had 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Obama, 4 years of Biden— never became a socialism. But you know what we got? More jobs, lower unemployment, higher GDP in Democratic administrations than every GOP administration in the last 3 decades. Without fail.

@ChrisMurphyCT @threadreaderapp unroll

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

@RothLindberg @threadreaderapp unroll

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Insider source: Last night's attack was Iran's largest attack since the beginning of the war 1/7 - An informed source, in an interview with Fars, described the dimensions of last night's extensive operation by our country's armed forces as the largest and most –>👇

@TansuYegen The correction made by schools will be class essay assignments which they can compare against home projects, with extra weighting on the class assignments.

Mandatory final step in 2026 before submission😁

@clairlemon Did the medieval people get copies of letters of witches describing these things in detail as well as eye witnesses to such events? Because we are not taking about speculation based on myths and fears but printed documents and eye witness testimony. Conflating the two is absurd.

During the medieval period peasants believed that witches kidnapped babies, used their body parts in potions, & ate their flesh during satanic rituals. Today we are much more advanced, of course. x.com/BrianaRoseLee/…

@clairlemon @timurkuran You're discounting the testimony of all the survivors who were underage at the time?

@timurkuran There’s no evidence of widespread criminality.

Five US administrations have covered up the Epstein crimes: GW Bush, Obama, Trump I, Biden, and Trump II. They let Epstein get away with just 13 months in jail. They chose not to investigate crimes committed by scores of powerful elites. The scandal is way bigger than Watergate.

@denstarr4 @lucyshow11 Reminds me of Back to the Future's Lea Thompson. cdn.theplaylist.net/wp-content/upl…

@lucyshow11 Anne Francis if anybody is curious.

Did you ever watch this episode of the Twilght Zone, “Mannequin”? It was said that this was Rod Sterling’s favorite episode. 🔥

@thecurioustales Weak points/flaws to this theory: 1) The rich can pay for live-in childcare greatly reducing family chores. 2) Focusing on health can include family and friends in group health activities. 4 Burner Theory sounds like a cop out/excuse for neglecting key areas of life. #NoExcuses

🚨 I just learned about a concept, I can't stop thinking about. The Four Burner Theory. It destroyed Elon Musk's first marriage. It explains why Bezos is jacked but divorced. And why Zuckerberg has no real friends. Once you understand it, your life will never be same:🧵

@HealthRanger It's not about being "trained" on copyrighted content, it's about charging people to provide that content that should be going to the copyright owners. It's equivalent to humans "training" their video cameras on a film in a theater and then selling bootleg copies.

To all those people complaining, "AI was trained on copyrighted content," well SO WERE YOU, dumb ass. Every movie you watched was copyrighted. Every book you read was copyrighted. Every TV show you saw was copyrighted. Your brain "learned" from all those things, and it shaped your knowledge and the way you think. Should all those copyright holders now SUE you for writing your own books, articles, or screenplays? After all, YOU were "trained on copyrighted content!"

@AmericanEthical @grok flags this as an AI fake

Actual photo from the DOJ latest Epstein files drop: Donald Trump and six of his "wonderful secrets". people who still support Donald Trump are mentally ill

@emilykmay Excess will be sold to foreign capital or eliminated. As seen from past history, the business wealth holders would rather destroy products rather than have prices drop due to excess inventory.

The boomers have so much money and housing and I am really wondering what is going to happen when they die. there will be McMansions everywhere. Gen alpha may get a Tuscan kitchen.

@MrPitbull07 AI rage engagement bait

@Angry_Staffer The true irony is he campaigned as a strong progressive, then governed like a moderate Republican, and yet he was still reviled by the right. The ACA was even based on a Republican think tank (Heritage Foundation) as an alternative to Medicare for All.

I need someone to explain this to me. First, how was Obama divisive as a president? Second, assuming he was indeed divisive, how the FUCK was he more divisive than Trump?

@Kdyub33 @aakashgupta I didn't say replace all...but there will be far slower and fewer human jobs created, especially at the entry level. Current hiring trends overall already show this.

@Soullfire @aakashgupta So you think it will play out the same but this time there will be no new work created bc AI replaces it all?

A $240B company just reversed its own AI workforce thesis in under three years. May 2023: IBM CEO Arvind Krishna tells Bloomberg he’ll replace 7,800 jobs with AI. Freezes back-office hiring. 30% of 26,000 non-customer-facing roles, automated within five years. February 2026: IBM triples entry-level hiring. Software developers, HR, across the board. The CHRO spelled it out at Charter’s Leading with AI Summit: entry-level devs used to spend 34 hours a week coding. Now AI handles that. So IBM rewrote the jobs. Those same juniors now work with clients, collaborate with marketing, and accelerate product milestones. The humans stayed. The job descriptions changed. This tells you something about how AI actually lands inside large orgs. The automation works on individual tasks. But companies that cut entry-level pipelines discovered a different problem: no junior talent means no mid-level talent in 3-5 years. And you can’t hire senior people who understand your systems from the outside. Gen Z unemployment for college grads is at 5.6%, near the highest in a decade outside the pandemic. Meanwhile IBM just admitted it needs those workers more than ever. The AI replacement narrative wrote checks the technology couldn’t cash.

@cenkuygur Horrible take - Republicans show their utter contempt for their voters but making outright lies about their intent time and time again and only paying lip service while serving up the 1% while letting the majority deal with decreased services and blight.

Yes, Republican politicians are worse on policy, worse on corruption (except Massie), worse on serving elites. But they don't seem to hate their own voters as much, to be honest. Our politicians give us the sense that we are a terrible inconvenience. They have unearned arrogance.

I was just in Washington and here's my read of Democratic Party right now. 98% of them think they are the most important people on earth. 98% of them have done absolutely nothing. They demand respect, which they haven't earned at all. They have an unbearable entitlement complex.

@Kdyub33 @aakashgupta 1999: "Dot coms will replace most brick and mortar stores right away" 2000: Dot com bust: "Brick/Mortars were just fine...no need to worry" 2000's - current: Brick and mortars largely replaced by dot com giants. Any issues with AI will be corrected - human jobs are NOT safe.

@Soullfire @aakashgupta What do you mean by the dotcom comparison? How did that replace jobs?

@porky626 @Jane_Doe82 My school never taught it and the fact you feel the need to add insults says all we need to know about your upbringing and education. My condolences to your parents.

@Soullfire @Jane_Doe82 Then you didn’t pay attention in school, if you went at all.

Holy God.
