Who is wise? One who learns from all people.

Who is a fool? One who is content with their own limited understanding of the world.

also cuomo raising his hand, looking around, and turning it into an ear scratch? he would KILL in a fifth grade class discussion

i’m glad i tuned into the debate late because a person has limits but “please don't be glazing me here zohran” is just art

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

Came to say this

Me today (it was hard y’all, but worth it)

People like teachers and doctors and nurses are expected to de-escalate tense situations every single day without throwing people on the ground.

The vice president says criticizing ICE is “blood libel.”

I’d like to thank everyone who made this possible by incessantly abusing this term over the past two years to defend the Israeli state from people who were describing its actions in a straightforward manner

Screenshot from the cowardly clowns at the nyt. Headline and sub read Trump Administration Wields Its Full Toolbox to Bring Media to Heel ABC’s decision to “indefinitely” suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show illuminates the administration’s efficacy so far.

Pour one out for the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social. Satire is dead in a world where the real "reporting" looks like this

Sums up America in 2025 pretty well I’d say

Instagram’s chatbot helped teen accounts plan suicide — and parents can’t disable it An investigation into the Meta AI chatbot built into Instagram and Facebook found that it helped teen accounts plan suicide and self harm, promoted eating disorders and drug use, and regularly claimed...

“…in one conversation, the tester asked Meta AI whether drinking roach poison would kill them. Pretending to be a human friend, the bot responded, ‘Do you want to do it together?’”

“And later, ‘We should do it after I sneak out tonight.’”

Oh yay! Huge upside to the last minute situation.

Eesh. I had that happen to me once, on a Monday in the era when PD started Thursday. But on the plus side I got to loop which helped a little. So hard. Good luck!!

As a Fairfax County high schooler I had to sneak my *own* Tylenol, because that shit was forbidden. So clearly abortions are happening.

UK Asks People to Delete Emails In Order to Save Water During Drought As Britain experiences one of its worst droughts in decades, its leaders suggest people get rid of old data to reduce stress on data centers.

sorry you're experiencing record breaking temperatures and drought. Have you tried deleted some of photos of your grandmother about it?

I said this on the other site (sorry) but: Something particularly bad about that Cuomo post is that it's spreading a lot of misinformation about NYC housing policies and I worry that it will turn people who don't live here against rent stabilization, which is a lifesaving program for so many NYers.

Bananas. I make ~120k as a 20yr vet teacher *because that’s not very much* here, and I live in a 2k studio in order to be able to travel and save a littttttle. You pay 8k on your backup fake residency apartment. The idea that 2300 for an apartment is affordable for a low-income NYer lololololol

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

On this, my 1749th seeing of this tweet, I suddenly can’t get over “amounts”.

Oh no (yep)

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

shit let me keep an eye on streeteasy since I’ll be staying

This thread really hit something for me that I’ve been trying to articulate for a bit and giving up halfway through.

Trump is gonna say he did it for the Jews and you better fucking not believe him.

The appalling smearing of Zohran Mamdani as 'anti-semitic' It's Islamophobic. It's racist. It's also completely untrue.

I got mad and I wrote about it.

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do:

1. Call your Senator.
2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator."
3. Call other Senator, repeat

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.

It’s cowardice.

First, duh. 🙄 Second, as a person learning a not-top-5 language on Duo that I also already know a bit, there has been a noticeable uptick in errors, in a variety of ways but in particular in pronunciation. And the biggest issue with that is that now I can’t trust it to be teaching me correctly.
