Let’s just set what’s left of broadcast stations on fire, OK?

Saw the Maxwell torturing a 6-year-old floating around and thought it was a conspiracy theory. Holy s—!

She’s making it happen, y’all.

@jasmineforus.bsky.social is activating non-voters just like she said she would.

“55% of the people that showed up on day one don’t normally vote in a primary. In fact, 20% of those voters were first-time voters.” 💥

History redressed: Melania makes her mark, in a fashion, with Smithsonian gown

First lady is first in more than 100 years to have two inaugural gowns in museum’s popular collection

Not sure which gay is selecting the music before @margaretcho.bsky.social’s DC show, ATC’s “Around the World” is a Millennial deep cut.

People so desperately want to believe they’re cool and rebellious. In this essay, I will …

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Understanding what AI is fundamental to how it can be used.
