Just a block of cheese trying to gain sentience. Oh, also I write movies (Some Other Woman, The Summoned) and lots of other things (http://www.hlgstudios.com).

Democrats are on track to win 64 of Virginia's 100 House seats.

That'd be THIRTEEN flips; the chamber is 51/49 right now.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

You can see how it might all sort of unfold, right? So, Trump will send in military to all the places there are protests and make it sound like America is being attacked.

Then he’ll declare martial law and suspend mid-term elections for everyone’s β€œsafety.”

Maybe arrest Democratic leaders…

Go one step further: I think Trump is the absolute worst but isn’t it a problem that Musk has a global megaphone, satellites and endless money? Should one human being have *this* much power?

I don’t know how or why but 95% of my bluesky feed is pictures of birds and while it offers me very little, it is sometimes strange and wonderful and isn’t that really all we should want out of the internet?

You’re going to be shocked to learn that those who have been attacking Zelenskyy, and accusing him of being a war monger, are relatively silent about Putin skipping out on peace talks.

My wife has changed her teaching to combat ChatGPT and seems to be doing well with it (far more in class writing, analysis, etc.). It’s tough but I think good teachers adapt and if it means less homework… maybe that’s good?

@scottlynch78.bsky.social I am very late to the party but I just finished the Lies of Locke Lamora and I just wanted to tell you what you must already know: it’s *fantastic.*

I hope someone is trying to make a movie out of it!

Gen Z’s Underground Social Network Just Went National And It’s Blowing Up While most social platforms are trying to become the next TikTok, one startup is building something very different.

I actually love this β€” making social media anonymous and personal again is what made it fun originally and not the world-destroying thing it’s become.

My favorite part is that Musk lost 25 million dollars, which I understand is like me losing 25 dollars but still. Small victories.

18-25 dollars and hour depending on age/experience. The only career where the minimum wage is fair.

These articles drive me absolutely insane. Yes, obviously, it wasn’t the Signal thing, it’s literally everything - he’s a hypocrite who used anything and everything as a cudgel against his perceived enemies even if it’s something he does himself. Stop β€œdiscovering” this.

One Word Describes Trump A century ago, a German sociologist explained precisely how the president thinks about the world.

The DOGE Takeover Is Worse Than You Think What’s happening to the US government right now is bad. What comes next is worse.

"It’s worse than you think because the people running the government seem to have no higher mission than to watch it burn."

From genius @brbarrett.bsky.social who cuts through all of the DOGE chaos better than any other person on the planet.

You’re a Democrat, please do this. We need a counter voice, and everyone has gone seemingly silent. Go back to FOX, do daily YouTube videos, start a podcast. I make digital content, I’ll help if you need it, just do things!

Man, this poor 78 year old man, obviously in the throes of dementia, is being totally manipulated by this billionaire. This is senior abuse and frankly, the Republicans should be ashamed.

A reminder: the GWBush Admin built a prison at Gitmo not because of its size or facilities, but on the theory that because it was not in the US, US laws would not apply, and because US didn't recognize Cuban sovereignty over it Cuban law didn't either. It's a stateless, lawless zone of impunity.
