It’s probably not very funny to all the people in the Netherlands who are not right-wing idiots. Sounds like the Netherlands are experiencing something like Florida: when the problems get really urgent and bad, half the population fights hard to prevent action and preserve their delusion that everything’s fine.
That has to make him look even more of an asshole to the real journalists.
“I was just joking” is every fascist’s go-to line when they realize their hatred is not accepted by present company. Walking that line between serious hate speech/incitement and “only joking” is absolutely characteristic of fascism.
Microsoft profits off genocide and intends to keep doing so.
And to those who say “well, the Earth will bounce back”: we’re much closer to the end of Earth’s ability to support life than to the beginning. Earth doesn’t have endless time to evolve new kinds of creatures. We could be doing damage from which Earth’s biodiversity never recovers.
For as long as the current constitution holds up and the judicial system doesn’t become more partial. In the MAGA vision, only cisgendered, straight, right-wing, Christian, white men would be allowed to defend themselves.
This is a very conservative estimate. Other studies estimate that the total dead is more than 200,000 by now, or 10% of Gaza’s population. And we should not forget the many, many people who are living with serious injuries from Israel’s attacks, or all the people slowly starving.
Yes, she looks very bad there. She tries to evade the question several times over, and refuses to say anything positive about trans rights at all, even when the interviewer gives her several chances to do so. I still believe the Republicans would be worse, since they are the party that has been hurrying to introduce as many very trans-hostile laws as possible around the country. Democrats will fail to defend rights; Republicans will make sure rights are taken away, while inciting hatred and actively persecuting trans people. So as with many things, the Democrats may be bad on this, but Republicans are significantly worse.
I understand people not wanting to give the Democrats the sense that they have a mandate they don’t have, but right now it’s also necessary to keep Trump out. It sucks, but real progress will not come through the ballot box alone and must be fought for alongside electoral politics.
I’m sure the attention will boost his career, even if it’s negative. I’ve never heard of him before this.
I was actually making a joke about conflating the two fascist rallies at Madison Square Garden, but thanks! That’s an interesting point about how MLK photos have been presented. Propaganda can be very subtle.
It was the rescuer of 12 kids trapped in a cave in Thailand that Musk called a “pedo guy”. Unless he did it more than once, which is quite possible.
Unless it’s monitoring which bathroom trans kids are using. Then it’s freedom.
One difficulty with that is that the way we organize economies currently depends on having a working-age population that is large enough to support the non-working population. When you have far fewer workers than retired people you start having problems. I don’t know what the answer to that is, but it’s another instance of how any plan to seriously address climate change tends to require deep changes to how we run society. The current systems can’t simply be tweaked to make the problem go away.
The word is “communist”, which is absurd when applied to this center-right politician. Unfortunately many people are so ignorant and have ingested enough anti-communist propaganda that they will believe it.
The AI is supposed to automate everyday, web-based tasks by taking screenshots, interpreting the information, then clicking buttons or entering text.
Like Microsoft’s Recall. What a funny coincidence that all these new AI tools need to keep taking screenshots of what you’re doing on your PC. That could reveal all kinds of things. Thank goodness Google and Microsoft have proven themselves to be utterly trustworthy.
I have seen so many articles about Donald Trump in the last week, and I’m not sure I have even seen one about Kamala Harris. Unfortunately, the media and the online public are both very easy to bait into giving Trump free publicity.
These people seem to think if they don’t vote, the Democrats will face some kind of reckoning because the voters are not “endorsing” them. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to work or what anyone is then supposed to do about it under a fascist dictatorship. In fact, it’s so obviously nonsense that you have to wonder whether these people have other motives that they’re not stating.
Why are all the photos from this event in black and white?
Another night at the Garden.

I think the point is that some capitalists, both in business and in politics, encourage us to put our faith in future carbon capture so they can keep profiting off their polluting activities for now without having to invest in carbon emissions reduction. This is unrealistic and just an excuse not to tackle the difficult task of reducing emissions. We can’t afford to let the problem become that much worse before we attempt to mitigate it by sucking carbon out of the atmosphere, if there’s ever a technology that can do that effectively (which right now doesn’t look likely). We need to focus most of our efforts on reducing emissions.
