Yep. It’s impressive how far backwards we’ve gone in terms of actual buying power, how much of the product retail price becomes worker wages vs rentier hoovering, how durable and repairable an item is…

Guy seething with jealousy: Well, I think the normal sky is already pretty cool

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

The problem with "we have no choice but to do this thing Trump and the GOP want because otherwise the government stays shut down" is that there's no limiting principle.

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

My theory is they're worried by Christmas no one's going to have money to buy things, so they are pushing hard now.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

This how I find out I have a son??

Trump illegally blowing up boats in the Caribbean to intimidate Maduro and the people of Venezuela is closer to terrorism than anything low-level drug smugglers might be doing.

Like… people want affordable groceries, housing, and healthcare, *And* they want their friends and loved ones the be alive and safe and free from persecution.

These are not mutually exclusive ideas. They are in fact bound up together.

Not only is covert white supremacy socially acceptable; critiquing it or even just naming it is increasingly seen as socially unacceptable, or even as a radical instigation to violence deserving criticism or punishment.

OpenAI faces 7 lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide, delusions OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

For the next 4 years, keep fighting Frey. And in 2029, we cannot let Frey or the next iteration of him win. In ‘17 and ‘21, our coalition got close. In ‘25 Fateh was inches away from a win. We will win next time. The city is changing and soon Frey guys will be the minority.

Does he, in fact, have anything he wants to get done? Doing things is hard and sometimes requires working with people who don't owe you anything.

It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all.

And here she is at the loser party with him.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

If you are a parent of a kid in Minneapolis public schools, please, please, PLEASE take 2 minutes to email the school board (SchoolBoard@mpls.k12.mn.us) and superintendent (mpssup@mpls.k12.mn.us) to tell them to settle with the educators' union and give them what they want. Your emails truly help!

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

My favorite comment on the FT story

When you're such a lazy, hollowed out vessel for capital that you can't even perform your own racism without automated assistance.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

impossible to express how humiliating it is to actually take this to court as the border patrol agent who got hit with a sandwich IN his bullet-proof vest. oh i'm sorry, it wasn't a sandwich-proof vest?

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

My weight at birth is also a historical fact but I'm pretty sure it doesn't irreparably harm the United States not to include that on my passport.

The nyt newsroom has tons of outstanding principled journos. I don’t know the reporter seeking the stories of young trans ppl denied care.

I do know the newsroom leadership has a long record of spreading anti-trans disinformation and hate. The leaders will ensure any story furthers their bias

The leaders run the newsroom in a heavy-handed authoritarian style that brooks no dissent or departure from the biased narratives they want to push.

That’s how they ended up relying an avowed Nazi using stolen material to produce a racist hit piece on Mamdani. Then lied to readers about the source

How about instead of bailing out the AI companies, we just don't?
