We all must work toward a future where we resolve our differences with words, not bullets. #SOTU

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

I feel a natural association with your post.

First Proof is AI's toughest math test yet. The results are mixed Experts gave AI 10 math problems to solve in a week. OpenAI, researchers and amateurs all gave it their best shot

AI just got its toughest math test yet. The results are mixed

Experts gave AI 10 math problems to solve in a week.

OpenAI, researchers, and amateurs all gave it their best shot. The verdict, it seems, is in: artificial intelligence is not about to replace mathematicians.

The U.S. Department of Defense has barred military personnel from enrolling in courses at many of the nation’s top universities, including Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Johns Hopkins. A leaked email is said to contain the full list of affected schools. Shared by MeidasTouch.

Misogyny Is Rising in U.S. Classrooms. Where Is the National Response? As Europe rolls out national programs to confront misogyny and harassment in schools, the United States still lacks a coordinated response.

Now more than ever, we're a two timing, back stabbing, and disloyal nation without integrity.

It's now been four weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

No Amazon, No Gmail: Trump Sanctions Upend the Lives of I.C.C. Judges

"You lose immediate access to all the main credit cards that go through the Swift system, which is controlled by the U.S.,” [said Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge]. “My Amazon and Google accounts were closed...."

I really wish Dems would start making similar arguments about education. Presenting it as a public good that provides access to other “goods” like art, expression, knowledge, community, discernment, etc. is such a more compelling narrative than “Make human capital go up!!! 📈”

Why Authors Can’t Let Go of Greek Myths The fascination with these stories reflects an existential interest in what in life is inevitable, and what we can control.

Kay Cicellis’s reimagined Greek myths reflect literature’s continued interest in ancient mythology—and what in life is inevitable, versus what we can control, Rachel Vorona Cote writes.

The CDC changed the universal vaccine schedule & no longer recommends

Rotavirus
Hepatitis A & B
Meningitis
Influenza
RSV

I’ve cared for previously healthy kids who died from RSV, influenza and meningitis.

We all are going to be caring for a lot more now.

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor.

The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

I’ve seen a million media stories about how sad Republican voters in CA are about losing their Republican representatives.

But I don’t think I’ve seen a single one talking about Demoratic voters in Texas, or North Carolina, or Missouri losing their representatives.

Isn’t the product supposed to be good for a while before the enshittification phase begins?
