Schumer authorized those eight to flip

I haven’t ruined a workplace, but I do take pride in ruining Jeff Bezos’ day every single chance I get.

I’m so excited to call Chick Schumer’s office tomorrow morning and tell him
I’m changing my party registration if Senate Dems go through with this vote

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

“You already have too many books.”

“You have stacks of unread books at home.”

“You don’t have space for more books.”

First of all, fuck your negativity. If you want a book and don’t want to get from the library or in digital and you can afford it, buy that book. Buy six. Be happy.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

They’re here to liberate this city from…the people we democratically elected to run our city and state? I would say make it make sense, but that’s too big of an ask for fascist Barbie.

We feed you.
They hunt us.

Extremely happy transplant who loves LA and wishes people would understand this city isn’t just industry wannabes. Being a normal person vibing in LA is simply the best.

There are some hot takes in places 2-6.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

The world was so much better in the zine and livejournal era.

The policies vs what shows up on there are pretty stark. And everyone knew.

This might be my sign to permanently leave the country

Facebook really bungled every single thing related to China and I am SO HYPED to get to the part of the book that discusses Mark Zuckerberg's Smog Jog. Potentially one of the greatest staged photos ever taken.

Arnold Palmers are the best thing to ever happen to both iced tea AND lemonade. and when placed in a Mason jar, it's undefeated!

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

One week later and I keep thinking about how Mark Zuckerberg asked Xi Jinping to name Zuck’s firstborn child as a gesture of goodwill to get Facebook into China, and Xi said no.

At this rate I am going to end up borrowing your entire book collection. Let me focus on finishing cover story and then we can swap!

Would you recommend I read you didn’t hear this from me?

My April reading wrap-up is a little out of sorts. I’m in the middle of a lot of books right now, and I finished up two books this month — Americanah and Careless People — that were both 5 stars.

This sentence would kill a Victorian child

💀💀💀💀 I’m sure Atlanta had absolutely no good coffee shops before Reese Witherspoon tried to “do you know who I am” her way out of her husband’s DUI in Atlanta

Cant be worse than a 47th hockey romance!

Ah shit, I’m at the “Facebook fomented a genocide in Burma” part

“Autonomy disturbs a certain kind of powerful person. And Sheryl has never accepted independence among her advisors.” Author really dropped some bars on this

😂

THIS MOTHERFUCKER WANTED TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND SET AN ACTUAL GOAL OF DESTROYING THE NEWS MEDIA

I have so many questions about how Priscilla Chan sees her role and what makes her put up with the way she is spoken about

Zuck was a Very Mad Boy when Obama had the audacity to tell him Facebook has a problem with fake news and has the power to be a global destruction force. A temper tantrum on a PJ is not very alpha male of him.
