🧵A joint hearing by the Judiciary Committee of the CA Senate & Consumer/privacy protection of the Assembly was held today at Stanford to balance concerns of creative artists with the economic engineering of AI.

The room overflowed.

Real issue? This President & Congress won't regulate AI.

YouTube video by MS NOW Rep. Himes shares SHOCKING DETAILS from boat strikes briefing; disputes key points in reported story

Rep. Jim Himes (CT), ranking Dem member of the intelligence committee watched the entire video of the strikes on the Venezuelan fishing boat in September and says THERE WERE NO RADIOS

Definitely worth watching this—Jen Psaki also provides helpful context before the interview with Himes

The play was such a success that a few years later, the Marx Brothers turned it into their first movie, which made them international stars.

I show a clip of it at the end of my lecture on the Roaring 20s.

Here's why ...

So interesting! I'm sure I've seen it but it's been ages.

My son absolutely loved the Marx Brothers when he was a little guy. I'm guessing we have the DVD somewhere.

Trump is and will always be a mass muderer.

ICE Agents Released an Attack Dog on a Man: Report The latest horrific development in Trump’s war on immigrants occurred in the state of Washington.

Toledo-Martinez answered a knock at his door to find a federal immigration agent posing as a construction worker, who claimed to have hit his car.

He went outside and another agent released the dog, which bit him repeatedly. Now Patty Murray calls for his release.

He's the most lovable cartoon villain in existence

I love Doofenshmirtz, but he's a caricature of a villain

I reported this account ( @ahtsah.bsky.social ) for targeted harassment and would love to see it suspended

I'm beyond sick of people harassing trans people

FYI, this account, @ahtsah.bsky.social, is a transphobic asshat who's harassing a trans person on here 🤬

A perfectly AWFUL picture of the world's WORST president (who is also the UNHEALTHIEST man alive) picking up his very FAKE peace award.

A perfectly NORMAL picture of the world's GREATEST president (who is also the HEALTHIEST man alive) picking up his very REAL peace award.

Spot the similarities between the two pictures:

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

That crown belongs to our prezident and you know it

Hang on there, Greg. He's the secretary of WAR and it's his job to make war on civilians he hates... in this Fascist State of Murrica 🤬

Sadism is the lifeblood of MAGA politics. Hard to overstate how disgusting and embarrassing for our country it is for the US Secretary of Defense to be doing this:

Do we know for a fact that he's going to die soon? 🙏

Karoline Leavitt: The lying press keeps claiming that President Trump is sleeping through meetings.

Why aren't they pointing out how selfless he is for taking meetings during his nap time?

Done. She blocked me for whatever reason. No idea who she is but this is disgusting.

1 - how it started - trump in front of his magats saying 'Starting On day one, we will end inflation and Make America Affordable Again.' 2 - how it's going - trump talking 'the word affordability is a democrat scam'

Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

There's been weirdly little coverage of this point. Trump/ McMahon are demanding an end to gender-based affirmative action in admissions and they clearly still believe we're in the world where aa benefits young *women* applicants, but that world is long gone.

cannot put up with the double standards of the BBC about what Im alleged to have said 49 years ago, and what you were putting out on mainstream content. So I want an apology from the BBC for virtually everything you did throughout the 1970s and 80s," he said, referencing comedian Bernard Manning and the fictional character Alf Garnett, as well as The Black and White Minstrel Show.

Nigel Farage.

The man who's spent 20 years attacking the politically correct "woke" BBC now attacking it for... checks notes ... "showing the Black and White Minstrel Show in the 1970s".

Always good to be consistent Nigel.

Jon Stewart Mocks Trump, 79, for Behaving Like a 6-Year-Old The president’s behavior is not befitting of the job, the late-night host says.

“What a 6-year-old he is. Whenever he gets confronted, his responses are either ‘I don’t know’ or ‘You’re stupid.’”

“I have children. I’m very familiar with these dodges.”

The Heist of Its Culinary Crown Jewels Rocks a French Village

Nearly 1,000 lbs of escargot were stolen from a French farm, just before la saison de la consommation d'escargots.

The real issue here is the inability of snails to run away. And if you think fresh snails are slow, get a load of those frozen ones.

If the average life expectancy for American women is 81.1 years and Olivia Nuzzi is 32, how many times can she reinvent herself?

Opinion | A sickening moral slum of an administration Regarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.
