"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

Breaking: NSF is suspending roughly 300 grants with UCLA, following a DOJ finding on Tuesday that the university violated Title VI by "creating a hostile educational environment for Jewish and Israeli students."

Glad my graduate alma mater cut 60 degree programs in subjects that require people to think so that they could offer this. Looking forward to living in a world full of Prompt Engineers.

Captain Picard, from Star Trek: TNG, shouting "There are 3 branches!"

Me, everytime SCOTUS issues a new shadow docket opinion:

U.S. Government Restores $6.2 Million in Cut Funding to LGBTQ+/HIV Organizations After Lambda Legal Win “When we fight, we win. We know the battle is far from over and there will be setbacks along the way, but the cause is too important, and the need too great, for us to lose heart.”  Lambda Legal annou...

Fuck yeah Lambda Legal! lambdalegal.org/newsroom/us_... U.S. Government Restores $6.2 Million in Cut Funding to LGBTQ+/HIV Organizations After Lambda Legal Win - Lambda Legal

The hummingbird moth, snowberry clearing or also called the flying lobster.

i believe that at 18 every american should be entered into a draft, not for military service, but for one year of mandatory retail or restaurant work

That is some top-tier, high quality orange creamsicle of a cat right there

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times. Jennifer Lee Rosman @JenLRossman: We’re disabled, Daniel, we’re not werewolves

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

If something can be destroyed by the truth, then let it - be it a person, a government, or an empire built on lies.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

It is now my mission to flip these seats and take back the house. You can help defeat them, too.

My new campaign is the “make ICE agents so demoralized they quit” campaign.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Among other things, I'm just so pissed that a country that once made winning WWII its whole personality is now building concentration camps

“But I voted for it anyhow.”

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

May the senate republicans never know peace

Anyone else having a hard time being happy when the Supreme Court makes the right call for once? It’s like, good, but **gestures broadly**

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

The idea of rich people saying they'll 'leave NY' because of X reason has always been so comical because of course they won't. Where would they go. Connecticut? The only good line from the Stepford Wives remake was how no one would notice a town full of robots there. Nobody's moving to Connecticut.

The Supreme Court approved this today.

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
