Grossly irresponsible of the Times to have this ludicrous credulous spin as the top story the morning after a president who rules by fiat proclaims a totally specious emergency to militarize the capital - an editorial insult to our intelligence and our democracy.

he said immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country"

Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.

It's a bit baffling. The whole thrust of the article seems to be, "Oh, yes, these techbro bastards stole from thousands of writers and artists, they admit the egregious theft, they glory in it, continue it, but we can't possibly expect them to suffer any CONSEQUENCES for it! Perish the thought!"

Thread. ...Here's one bit I liked, though: "If the appeals court denies the petition, Anthropic argued, the emerging company may be doomed." ...Good. They brought this (potential) situation on themselves. Let 'em be doomed.

The Race to Find a Measles Treatment as Infections Surge The measles vaccine was so effective the disease was considered eliminated in the U.S., but a resurgence of outbreaks is spurring a need for drugs.

As the US hits a 33-year high in measles infections, there is now a "race" to find a treatment for the disease.

One pharma company "is banking on a continuing decline in vaccination rates to fuel a need for measles treatments—and in turn, more investor interest"

This is bad

once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

This is what happens when you abandon trans people. Newsom and Buttigieg’s lukewarm stance on trans rights enables bigotry and they should not be president period.

i think we have under-theorized and under-prepared for this moment, because people think fascism is still RISING

fascism is HERE. it is ASCENDANT. and now it is wondering how much you, personally, would cost to get onboard

it is not some accident that the people suing charlottesville over its efforts to build more housing are retired university professors and their friends

Watching the establishment pivot on what Israel is AND HAS BEEN DOING to Gaza is maddening. Are we gonna get any retractions or apologies villainizing the college protestors WHO WERE CORRECT THE ENTIRE TIME!?

i am so tired of people wrapping up every useful innovation in coding or machine learning into "AI" as if Anthropic or OpenAI are related to the people who pioneered stuff we universally value.

on the one hand we should want people to change their mind so we can stop what's happening now. On the other hand there need to be costs for the ghoulish behavior that got us here, as these people absolutely will do this again given half a chance

Screenshot from a story in the Advocate: "I think most reasonable people would recognize that there are serious fairness issues if you just treat this as not mattering when a trans athlete wants to compete in women's sports," Buttigieg told NPR.

YIKES @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Atrocious and an absolute betrayal

exact same pattern as the iraq war where the dirty hippie anti-war protesters being retroactively completely vindicated just makes the elites despise them more.

consenting to a shakedown from the pedophile president with an approval rating in the 30s is insane

Someone posted a video of a husband and wife shopping for interior decor. They wrote: "when will people finally acknowledge the epidemic of men marrying women and being turned gay." Matt Walsh retweeted them and added: "Dudes like this were already gay. I’ve been married for 14 years and have never been home decor shopping, or even had an opinion on the subject, except for the one time when I had a painting custom made depicting me meeting a group of space aliens. It’s now hanging above a fireplace in our home." I screenshot Walsh's comment and added: "For a while, it was believed that women and gay men are born with a natural sense for aesthetics. In reality, straight men, particularly American male Protestants, have simply barred themselves from taking an interest in aesthetics bc they think this makes them noble." Finally, someone retweeted me and added: "Why does anyone listen to what this idiot has to say about aesthetics?" They attached a photo of Edward Hopper's 1942 painting "Nighthawks."

Someone took issue with me saying that American male Protestants are unique in how they've removed themselves from aesthetics. I thought it was obvs that I'm talking about fashion and interior decor, which today are coded as "gay interests," not paintings or architecture.

But let me elaborate. 🧵

NYC Immigration Arrests Just Shot Through the Roof, New Data Shows Newly obtained federal records offer the clearest picture yet of how aggressively the Trump administration has pursued its mass deportation agenda — with a sixfold increase in arrests in early June.

ICE arrests have skyrocketed in recent weeks, breaking up families and spreading fear in our neighborhoods.

This is what happens when a Mayor rolls out of the red carpet for authoritarianism.

Change cannot come soon enough.

More than two thirds of New Yorkers are tenants. Andrew Cuomo compared them to hotel guests.

We need a Mayor who will bring our city together around an agenda to lower costs for everyone, whether they rent or own.

The George Floyd protests as racist origin story is so revealing (see Andreessen texts for another example). Universities were on lockdown & it was summer during the George Floyd protests. But the trauma of seeing multiracial protests against police violence is where it all begins for these folks.

The FARE Act Doomsaying Hasn't Come to Pass—But NYC Real Estate Brokers Are Still Playing Games One month after the bill that banned forced broker fees took effect, renters are still navigating a housing market rife with confusion and trickery.

Thanks to @chiosse.bsky.social and the City Council, the law is crystal clear: if a landlord hires a broker, they pay the fee.

Now the City must actively enforce it.

this is less true than we all want it to be because a sizable number of right wing Epstein obsessives think he was trafficking 6 year olds not 16-year-old girls who they think should be allowed to marry

DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni turns over his emails to Congress! Here's one showing how the admin tried to paint Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a "a leader of MS-13," which was shot down since it was clearly made up.

Reuveni says he was fired for telling the truth to a judge.

Not sure if most people realize that there are no release dates at CECOT. All detentions are indefinite

HOW DOES THIS STORY KEEP GETTING WORSE
