If you believe a group is immoral and they are supporting a cause in which you believe, there are probably at least a dozen other places that also support that cause.

I hope there is an eventual accounting for every knowingly false report made by this government to the American people. Every person who has claimed to have seen something in a report that never existed MUST learn there are consequences.

I wish @Ford would start selling an F-50.

Has someone yet built an online Media Literacy course where the entire curriculum is analyzing @joerogan segments? I've never seen someone work so hard to be so ignorant. reddit.com/r/Destiny/comm…

It was so great to hear @Timodc, @JessicaTarlov, and @SymoneDSanders in this panel. So important to target the nuanced, pragmatic elements of electioneering that actually wins elections. youtu.be/cTl_kGTj7j4?si…

More than a game: new research from @SIUE and partners reveals how VRChat became a vital coping tool during the pandemic. We analyzed player data & tweets to see how users fought isolation, managed stress, and found community in VR. Read the story: shorturl.at/X8RMK

@shannonplante Historically, you transition from the "young, hip" CEO to the more senior CEO to have a level of detachment as a platform transitions out of its start-up era. Dan Clancy is a perfect case study for what happens when you pick the senior CEO who is still chasing the young and hip.

Clancy is a clout-chasing streamer-wannabe… and he’s only been CEO for roughly 2.5yrs. This utter pylon just blamed Emiru for her own harassment and then claimed he’s friends with her. Imagine how poorly he’d handle this if he didnt imagine they were friends. 😬 #fireClancy

All Dems need to pick 1-2 macro topics and just be relentless. 20-25 prominent Dems spreading topics provides for ceaseless, proper attacks without anyone getting tagged with "TDS". thepinknews.com/2025/08/19/sco… thepinknews.com

It feels like ChatGPT-5 has been lobotomized.

The Trump press conference makes me believe his staff is just messing with him. Showing him Mad Max and telling him that it's live footage of Washington D.C.

My current attempt at a low-effort balanced media diet is equal parts @BulwarkOnline and @PodSaveAmerica. Other suggestions?

I'm not sure if the Sydney Sweeney AEO ads are dog whistles. If tasked with pitching a N*zi ad, however, I'd pick a majority white clothing company, make it way too focused on the importance of good genes, and, if possible, find a way to slip the SS in it for good measure.

@Econoboi "He was completely unaware about the entire history of actually existing socialist governments in Oceania..." I find no established socialist government in the history of Oceania. I only found socialist parties that elected leaders to positions in non-socialist governments...

@MeganRisdal I didn't look closely enough the first time to realize it was two hands... so my brain read this as some crazy AI thing.

My partner doesn't like my latest nail design. I love them.

@544pibble @ChrisMurphyCT @matt_vanswol Yes. This did happen under Biden. During Hurricane Helene, FEMA failed to answer more than 50% of the calls the week of the hurricane. The difference? FEMA was facing 900,000 calls, not 3,000. eenews.net/articles/fema-…

@ChrisMurphyCT I could swear this happened under Biden during the hurricane and flooding aftermath in WNC. .@matt_vanswol can you confirm? And this was with a fully funded FEMA. Well, except for the billions diverted to fund CHNV migrants housing and living expenses.

The floods ripped through Texas on July 4. On July 5, FEMA received 3000 calls from survivors. 1% were unanswered. That night, Trump/Noem fired the people who answer the calls. On July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls. 65% unanswered. July 7: 85%. Sick. nytimes.com/2025/07/11/cli…

New outlets should be rated along at least two factors. 1) Factual accuracy. 2) AI-Usage. It used to be that overworked, unethical, or lazy newsrooms would repost press releases. Now, everything is just LLM-produced.

It frustrates me nearly daily that @SIUE's OneDrive name is 47 characters and 5 spaces long. Are we too good for abbreviations? Dashes or underscores? That's 20% of Windows' maximum default path limit.

Creators like @hasanthehun allow others to dismiss all Muslims. He actively supports the Houthis and downplays violence against LGBTQ+ persons. Houthi-led courts have sentenced 31 men to death over the last five years. hrw.org/news/2024/03/2…

I'm not the least bit upset that @kellyclarkson has taken over my FYP. Killin' it.

As a reminder for anyone who listened to the recent @Timcast and has forgotten about the DOJ report/indictment about his "unwitting" collaboration with Russia (youtube.com/live/Dv-L5aXzt…). Below is the indictment concerning Mr. Commentator-2. justice.gov/archives/opa/m…
