This is a small immediate action you can take to support the businesses where the murder this morning happened. They were closed yesterday. Now they’re going to have to close today. Few of them can take multiple days without business.

the "and you're surprised by this?" guys have never been less vital than they are right now

The ICE agents approached us, told us to back up, back up. I'm not even sure why we were helping them, if anything. And I got on the snow bank, and next thing I knew, they shot him," Carlson said.

it's really good that Oracle bought TikTok, a business that only loses money, at a time when it took on $56bn+ in debt and $240bn in lease obligations for GPUs to rent to OpenAI, a company that will run out of money. This could all have the funniest ending ever

“This is un-American“ is anti-Indigenous, anti-Black gaslighting and if you find that inconvenient imagine how our colonized and enslaved ancestors felt and grow the fuck up

Here's what I am willing to use Al for: (1) narrate an audio edition using a clone of my voice, (2) check for typos and grammar cleanup, (3) help me debug the occasional tech issues I have, and (4) organize ideas.

and this from his “AI policy”—he didn’t include this in the Jan 21 newsletter, just linked out—goes further than just his AI voice clone whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/faq/#is-this...

Blocking people whose position is that talking about Black history hurts white people’s feelings and therefore we shouldn’t do it

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

Sarah's been through such a hard time the past two weeks alone. Can you send a little something for her birthday? chuffed.org/project/help...

As @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social says, we are going to win.

It's a tell and a timesaver. Everything said after can be evaluated accordingly.

And foreign news use it now with no understanding of the source or original meaning, and without clarifying what it's used to mean now.

I am not an expert on English politics (although I did do some advising decades ago), what I am is an expert on political ads, having written many.

This is a fantastic political ad.
