YouTube video by -- Mad Men: The Best Things in Life Are Free - Bert Cooper

just got to this part of mad men and i dont know why but it gets me choked up every time i watch it, robert morse had so few scenes but he really brought that weirdo to life as a character

James Van Der Beek, ‘Dawson’s Creek’ Star, Dies at 48 James Van Der Beek, who was known for playing Dawson Leary on "Dawson's Creek" and for numerous other TV and film roles, has died. He was 48.

JVDB had such a phenomenal second act to his career. He was so funny and so sharp about tweaking the WB years in a way no one expected from him. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

The fallacy of AI-as-replacement-for-human-coders aside, it’s almost like the wholesale retasking of education to focus on STEM to the exclusion of all else (save for business idiocy) was a BAD thing. 🤔

Not sure of the exact ratios but would be cool if like a 1/3 of Dem electeds talked about nothing but Epstein, a 1/3 talked about nothing but the ICE Gestapo, and the other 1/3 talked about nothing but how the Trump's meddling with medical research guarantees many more people will die of cancer.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

WOKE IS BACK BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LATINOS AND THE HAWKS

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

it's this and it's solar energy

that's what's keeping me from snapping

You want 'British values', here's national treasure Ian McKellen performing a speech by national hero William Shakespeare about how we should be humane and welcoming to migrants and refugees. bsky.app/profile/lala...

As an Eagle Scout, let me say this is an opportunity for Scouting America to stop having a partnership with the U.S. Military.

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.

You should have healthcare, you should have housing, you should have a universal basic income that sustains your ability to live in the world, and everyone who keeps telling you these things are unreasonable is either listed in a big stack of documents together or is actively protecting them.

Anyway, you can give $5 tax deductible to PBS for their app and get Ken Burns Revolutionary War doc along with Lupita and Sandra Oh in Twelfth Night and not pollute all of Memphis while you’re watching it.

“Are the arts important?” Humanity practiced them long before they had use for science and will practice them long after math is gone. Is the dawn important? Is dusk?

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

I thought about this a lot when we were all pushing to get kilmar abrego garcia released. I'm glad we got him back but literally NO ONE should be sent to CECOT. They should have ALL been brought back.

Never accept an inch. Never accept their framing. Bring everyone back and abolish DHS.

In Criminal Justice Elections This Year, ICE Contracts Are on the Hot Seat - Bolts With roughly 2,400 elections for prosecutor and sheriff this year, Bolts reviews the map and early hotspots that will shape criminal punishment and law enforcement practices.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.

These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*

So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

Read, & check out our maps:

they are welcome to start doing the work to fix the harms they have caused by arriving at the right conclusion late. if they arrive and immediately assume they should be leaders, they are not trying to do what is right, they are trying to side with the winners, and should be used with care

A screenshot of WhatsApp: Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question. Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know Ash: Are jaguar soft? Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Comrades I've worked for the IRS and so I can tell you with some expertise that not only will this accomplish nothing but will in fact put you on the radar for further government action. Other than the Post Office the Service is one of the last agencies you want to fuck around with.

So you agree? AI doesn't do anything useful?

Peaky Blinders meme: No fighting with regime-run accounts. No fucking fighting with regime-run accounts!

White folks. Watch this. Twice if you have to.

And don’t just listen to her. Understand what it is she is saying.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
