the guardian also had a White House correspondent weigh in and, ngl, I think our take is better

“Sometimes, when I’m stuck, I’ll pull books from the shelves and luxuriate in other people’s first sentences. It’s like taking a bite of every chocolate in the box, or wandering through a high-end hat store…” writes @delaneynolan.bsky.social, author of Happy Bad (Astra House). at.pw.org/WRNolan

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

So excited for this one tonight! Great to be back in Iowa City 🥰

I loved this book, if you're free tomorrow night in Boston!

Boston! Tomorrow!

I think it's cool that I swapped a lot of texts with people last night - people outside NYC, people in the South - that just said "Zohran 🥹"

His win is bringing hope to people far from New York. People in far more vulnerable places.

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

Had so much fun at Thacker Mountain Radio Hour with @squarebooks.bsky.social in Oxford, MS!

Israel already broke the ceasefire.

Settlers have been beating Palestinians in occupied territory after the ceasefire.

"The danger of AI is not that it will achieve consciousness & hit the big red button. The end is much less flashy, far more stupid: ...resource-intensive advertisement tools of AI will increasingly overtax the grid, leaving us to cook alive in sweltering darkness."

"But the #AI overlords tell us with a straight face that their products, which cannot draw an accurate map of the United States, will somehow solve this crisis, if only we let them make it worse first."
