We’re going to need a truth and reconciliation commission that gives the six republicans on the court the option to to go prison or resign and spend the rest of their days doing yard work with day laborers to atone for their crimes.

Even the nazis thought they had to pass an enabling act to give Hitler emergency powers. John Roberts and the other conservatives on SCOTUS have decided they don't even need that to legitimize their dictatorship.

Those “usual suspects” are in fact propagandists shitbags.
That implies they do it for money, which would be way more respectable than the real reason.

This is a good piece of journalism, but I gotta push back on the Tayllor Lorenz.love. She is mentally ill, and this is an example of "the worst person you know made a great point" meme.
Yeah, she was doing the "nazis were nice to me recently so actually they're better than libs" thing on BlueSky like five days ago.

The Nazi not understanding satire is the most on-the-nose thing I think I’ve ever seen on any iteration of these boards.

That hospital they bombed and killed a bunch of doctors and journalists with multiple air strikes?
They just HAD to blow up a hamas-controlled camera!
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Israeli military said Tuesday that its double strike on a Gaza hospital that killed 20 people targeted what it believed was a Hamas surveillance camera. But the first strike killed a cameraman from the Reuters news agency doing a live television shot, according to witnesses and health officials.
The military released its initial findings into the strike, offering no immediate explanation for striking twice and no evidence for an assertion that six of the dead were militants, including two who were identified by their employers as a health care worker at the hospital and an emergency services driver. The dead also included five journalists.
The military said the back-to-back strikes on southern Gaza’s largest hospital were ordered because soldiers believed militants were using the camera to observe Israeli forces. But its account appeared to contradict the sequence of events in Monday’s attack on Nasser Hospital.
"Yes, each of the six dozen times we've double tapped journalists was an accident and how dare you suggest otherwise!" he says while loading a mag into a gun, chambering a round, and aiming it at your head.

The Times has an article about a 16 year old who killed himself with the help of ChatGPT. Here's the link: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/technology/chatgpt-openai-suicide.html
It's fine enough reporting, but it doesn't really get close to how bad this really is:
Even if it were possible to fix this from a tech standpoint (and I'm not sure it is), there's no fucking way Sam Altman, or Elon, or any other fucking techbros building similar LLMs will ever give enough of a shit to do so.

Some of you need to stop giving shit people who take genuine pleasure in the suffering of others a fucking pass and a license to be shit people.
Maybe, just maybe, have a standard of "other people suffering is bad," so this shit doesn't gain purchase from the get-go. Because once society embarks full-scale on "nope, taking pleasure from the pain of others," then there's no end to that game that doesn't involve those same people taking their own goddamned medicine.
Brisket I will pay your fucking retainer if it gets you to stop giving that asshole the attention he wants.

I look at this differently: I think that there genuinely is a deepening pushback against the depressing and sloppy beigification of everything. I think that people actually didn’t like the half-assed rework of a piece of familiar, iconic, and harmless Americana (even if attached to a mediocre chain restaurant) into appified slop.
But, I do think it’s a reflection of a dangerous political moment in this way: the people who don’t like it are unable to express why they don’t like it outside of political wars. Any point of disagreement or dissatisfaction is reduced to an argument over woke/anti-woke in the same way any and all preferences in the Soviet Union were framed as to whether they were revolutionary or reactionary.
And this works the other way, too. Because it’s been politicized, people have the knee-jerk reaction of either defending what is truly a shitty rebrand or saying that no one should care even though caring about trivial aesthetic and marketing shit has a long non-politicized proud tradition (see uniform pron thread).
It should be simple and non-political to say the obvious: The Cracker Barrel rebrand sucks. It’s boring and bland and makes our shared human-shaped geography just a little bit more soulless and less fun in an era when soul and fun is in short supply. It’s borne of conformist and soggy marketing brain that thinks making the physical world more like a smartphone screen is good design.
The fact that we as a society can’t find the way to say this without reference to hyper-partisan framing is further evidence of creeping totalitarianism in the sense that almost no opinions can be voiced or conversations held outside politics. It’s a hallmark of decaying democracies and hyper-ideological dictatorships.
This is all the rebrand is, and it's part of the motivation behind some of the common design elements in newer buildings, but when it comes to the aesthetics of the buildings there's more at play. Making all these pad site buildings essentially the same keeps costs down, makes repairs and upgrades easier, and also makes finding replacement tenants much easier. The pad sites they're on are sold in a big NNN lease market to buyers who want to buy the cash flow the rentals provide without worrying about incurring substantial expense if the tenant fails. Nobody wants to buy a pad site with a 1990s Pizza Hut on it, because the only replacement tenant that will take the space is a shitty vape store.
In other words, it's capitalism. Short of some pretty substantial state intervention, we're not going to see much of anything different.

Brisket, stop arguing with nihilistic trolls and just watch the video I linked above. It's therapeutic. Imagine Quinn being the white guy if you want.

Ok, I'm posting it here because it's close enough and I don't want to dig up the fight thread. Embedding is off so you have to have a bluesky account to watch it, and don't turn that volume up at work because there's some racist language, but this is beautiful:

Something like of course you dumb bitch. Everyone everywhere has concern about crime. You don’t solve it by bringing in masked thugs and deploying the military against your citizens. Next question.
I wouldn't even respond on point. I'd go right after the reporter as knowingly perpetuating his pretext to help his fascist takeover. People need to understand that the mainstream media are aiding and abetting him and reporters need to learn that there are consequences for trying to help him.

The axios article puts it in terms of a sovereign wealth fund, which is pretty different from extorting equity in return for previously awarded grants or other funding. Presumably, that means buying equity on the open market, but who the fuck knows anymore.
Also, I'd bet anything that just like the terms of the "donation" of that fucking plane, once his presidency is over he gets the shares. These are all personal bribes, he's not going to let the taxpayers get anything he extorts from anyone.

FIRE literally counts them and has to overcategorize (i.e. equate students protesting with actually cancelling a speaker's appearance) because there are so few.
