AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

It's the 4chan ethos as governance; I'm not even joking. This deep, networked cynicism about human nature has moved from margin to centre.

if you told me a year ago that eric adams would be involved in a multimillion dollar crypto rug pull i probably would have said “yeah that sounds right”

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

People betting on how long the White House press briefing would be. Today's White House Press Briefing had a 98% chance of running over 65 minutes - until Karoline Leavitt abruptly ended it with seconds to spare. Traders on the NO side made 50x in seconds.

Starting to think that as society we didn’t consider how slippery the legalized gambling slope would be

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now.

It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

Mamdani’s win is a warning for media:

Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

Wouldnt that just incentivize everyone to aggressively cut the dog leg on the last lap? I dont know if it would really do anything other than that

The troubling thing is the "doing it for the meme" style of violence may be leaving the furthest and darkest fringes of the internet and entering into social spaces we would better recognize as maybe not normal, but certainly adjacent to it.

Jahn may not have had that "single issue".

The meme says "come and take it" And it shows Shadow holding a bottle of Tylenol

This car tied with him moving to RCR has me agreeing. Hes fighting such an uphill battle

My pregnancy introduced me algorithmically to the world of mommy blogging and content creation. It was the most regressive garbage I have ever seen. So much of it was the cult of promoting women’s pain as “natural,” and “natural” was a pipeline to anti-science MAHA. Demonizing an OTC painkiller fits

1) preferably a deeper dive than just summarizing stories/reading headlines (30 min to 1hr preferable)

2) something non-NPR (I already listen)

3) please less overt commentary. I would prefer a pod that explains an issue, gives context and verifiably fact checks.

Calling podcast listeners!

Please drop your favorite news podcasts for me. The Daily has been getting on my nerves for a few years now and after back to back duds this week I think I need a new pod in my rotation.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I'll believe it when I see it. Track will rubber in as usual and tires will stop wearing

This article from what I saw doesn't really make a case for WHY it needs to be instant. It basically says "if it was at instant speed it would be more powerful" which can be said about any mechanic that is at sorcery speed 😆 absolutely riveting writing

AI isn't a therapist; it's a bunch of bolts telling you what you want to hear.

It is almost the "perfect" Fantastic Four flick. My only gripe is there is a noticeable, Doom-sized hole in the story.

Favorite Todd McFarlane art ever

Just saw Superman. Was gonna do a whole bit about it walking in. That’d be a disservice. It’s an important piece of work and I’m not joking. I don’t even like superhero movies. Sprint to see it. Bring your kids and explain it to them. James Gunn had a time machine when he made it.

"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)

Absolutely abhorrent how women are treated in motorsports.

I think Steve has been great for the sport overall. Better than Brian France ever was.

To be fair. Bernie and AOC have never been shy about framing themselves as being in opposition to billionaires

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”

So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.
