Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

We’ve had free* buses for quite some time and welcome other cities who might be on that path. It’s really great

*Yes we know our tax dollars and UNC subsidize them. We’re happy with that because free buses.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Who started this idea that men are broken? It seems they’re just angry about the people they used to be able to boss around not letting them do that anymore.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE

YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS

PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

It’s actually a radical and extremist position to tell people that entire groups of humans are worth sacrificing to fascist violence to maintain the status quo. Being anti human and anti dignity is an extreme position not its opposition.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn't a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Saint George and the Dragon, by Bernat Martorell, 1434–35, 📸 by Michael Dawson

Lying about who he was does not honor his family, because then they are exposed to painful truths that they might not have been aware of previously. His work did not involve good-faith debate or spirited discourse. He engaged in the demonization of innocents and was in opposition to civil rights.

america is such a young country.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

When people who've devoted their careers to the law start talking like this...

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

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.

The illustration shows that a young student's world is violently inverted. Once filled with the light of knowledge and the promise of the future, her life is now shrouded in the dust of rubble and despair. Behind her, the very symbol of her dreams-her university-lies in ruins, a stark monument to a shattered future.

My world of studies turned to dust and stone,
Yet still this dream of healing stands alone.
Though hardship weighs,my hope it will not sway,
To learn,to serve, to see a brighter day.

This #art captures my life!

Pls help this seed within the rubble grow🌱🍉

Founder of Google's Generative AI Team Says Don't Even Bother Getting a Law or Medical Degree, Because AI's Going to Destroy Both Those Careers Before You Can Even Graduate The man behind Google's first generative AI program has some stark advice for advanced degree-seekers: don't do it, because AI will beat you.

Guy who doesn’t understand anything says you shouldn’t either.

I emailed Olivia yesterday and editor Peter Savodnik today to point out a couple of glaring errors in this piece about famine classification. No response from either of them.

New Music from Anti-Fascist Folk Singer Woody Guthrie Released With this reveal of 22 previously unheard songs, the Guthrie family hopes the radical messages in “Woody At Home” will inspire the next generation of protest songwriters.

"The rise of fascism in the United States convinced the Guthrie family and their associates that the music scene needed a dose of Guthrie’s anti-authoritarian, anti-racist, Nazi-punching ethos." #woodyguthrie #folkmusic #antifascist

The Damage to Economic Data May Already Be Done Donald Trump’s pick to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn’t have to manipulate any numbers to undermine the reliability of the government’s jobs reports.

I’m sad and angry about the damage that’s been done to BLS, a place that represents a spirit of civic cooperation in the pursuit of knowledge that’s dying in this country.

Really grateful to the @theatlantic.com for publishing this essay on that damage.

“again” is doing an embarrassing amount of work here guys

Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.
