Tankies are the Harlem Globetrotters of political discourse; go ahead, check it out they're right again doesn't matter what day you're reading this they had the correct reading of the situation

This dog ran outside excited as hell and the LAPD shot and killed it. You don’t hate police enough.

First of all shoplifting never happens let's get that straight Out The Gate. If you saw someone shoplift no you didn't. Second there is a reason we call these things necessities and thirdly fuck the police

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

This is so egregious even the LAPD press release doesn't know what to do. This "large dog" apparently "charged" at a cop, "resulting in an Officer Involved Shooting." For all we know this dog's last thought was excitement or curiosity at all the cops — all for them to murder him.

Cops kll dogs for fun.

Netanyahu will break this peace between the USA and Iran within the next few days and nobody will blame Israel but act like Iran has done something wrong. Everyone knows this is going to happen.

If you made a dollar a sec you’d have $1 million in 12 days, you’d have $1 billion in 32yrs & $1 trillion in 31,710yrs or 5X longer than human civilization. New rightwing thing is acting like there’s an incremental difference between 5X longer than human civilization and 12 days

There's no coming back from this for the left.

I will not vote for any Democrat that doesn't explicitly call for Israel to be sanctioned. This is non-negotiable.

Go watch how excited Larry Ellison was talking about forcing digital ID on the UK, centralizing all data, and using AI to enforce social credit mass surveillance. Go look at how eagerly his son bought up the biggest US social media properties to censor criticism of Israel.

In a heartbeat

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it. The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state. What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it. Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure. In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

There was that one study (university of Alabama, maybe?) about how common torture is in G and PG movies that got mocked as a ridiculous waste of research funds, but they almost all do it post 9/11.

So a 76ers fan, hated the Knicks so much, that he put on a Rodman Spurs jersey just to engage in physical combat with Knicks fans. This is legendary

establishment democrats and republicans weren’t fearful he’d fail and ruin nyc. they were worried he’d succeed and represent the threat of a good alternative

And somewhere a Republican strategist sat forward in his chair

I think it’s rather interesting that despite being far wealthier in absolute terms than a Vanderbilt or Carnegie or Stanford, and being directly positioned in an industry that could benefit from it, no tech elite has ever founded a university, and few have even given endowments

It would be *much* more socially transformative to ban social media for over-65s
