My daughter is working at this academic summer camp for low-income kids in New Haven & they're raising money to feed the kids—breakfast, lunch, & snack. They're getting a 3-to-1 match, so if you give $20, you're putting $60 worth of food in kid's mouths. Thanks! secure.qgiv.com/event/hgd202...

This is how it’s done. Means testing is expensive, both for the state and the recipient!

Let’s call them the Trump/Rubio/Vance/Musk cuts. Because all 4 of them worked to make this happen

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished. (Published Jan. 2026)

Funding journalism as part of the civic good must be a condition of any recovery We can not Have the loss we have had again unchecked

This is a pretty good post. More than a decade ago I fund raised my way through cancer. My general advice is: - Ask before you need it; people need time to get money - Ask more than you think you'll need bc extra costs will appear - People can often donate more mid month than near the end

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

They are just blanketing protestors with tear gas at Delaney Hall. Just over and over and over again.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Elon Musk isn’t an idiot, not the way yall joke . Because he’s getting what he wants. He knows Lupita is gorgeous He also knows if he complains enough , and he’s loud about it you listen to HIM And not her Where she is TELLING YOU ITS HARD FOR HER TO GET CAST

Feeling sassy, made a thing

There are entire research groups where everyone is required to read me . I can’t make rent. the recourse for me … is basically going into hiding because everyone can monetize but me … That’s slavery . That’s social death . That is the extraction everyone claims to be fighting

Elon Musk/ the Trumps AND ME All went to the same university. We had the same curriculum structure .. ( well know I was on the student board for developing innovative learning which is why I get very mad when yall discuss literacy) They took rhetoric and philosophy They know what they doing

The First Amendment still matters.

...and here we go! Jennifer Combs is now suing city officials, arguing the arrest was political retaliation. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

I hate all of this. I was so fucking stable for the 5 seconds my life wasn't shit. And I can barely even remember it now.

Not snark: It was always about reducing YOUR carbon footprint, not theirs. The entire concept of "carbon footprint" was created to shift focus and responsibility to the consumer and take pressure off of the corporations.

Brains are absolute bullshit. Bounced off 4 different shows/movies, fell into Orphan Black, which I have bounced off repeatedly

This. I’m reminded of being with an addict who wants you to indulge with them, so that they won’t be alone in their addiction and yet – and this is key – they think their experience means they understand life better than you do.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

So I'm watching Le Brea and it's SUCH BAD SCIENCE. They're back in the past to sabertooth tiger times, and yet somehow an engagement ring that went back with them is like two feet underground in modern days, and utterly undegraded. And now they want to carbon date the ring. the diamond&metal ring.

i just realized the scars that were meant to be the end of me are about 3 decades old. that is something. i wish i could afford a tattoo, a semicolon in the scars.

Verrrrry interesting…🧐 www.newsweek.com/inside-dc-me...

"My heart breaks for children who don't feel safe, but I would rather their parents murder them for being trans than for them to feel like they have *anywhere* they can exist unmolested" Fixed that for you

The important point to remember is NO SHE DOESN'T. What was published yesterday were guidelines for service providers. They impose NO obligations on individuals and are NOT the law. People want you to believe otherwise, to intimidate trans people. But they haven't yet criminalised their existence.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

We found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

Private Equity Now Owns 1 in 8 Apartment Units, a 50 Percent Increase Since 2021 Private equity’s expansion into housing comes at the same time as Americans are increasingly struggling to afford rent. truthout.org/articles/pri...

Boots Riley: ‘Theft is not outside of capitalism, it’s what it was built on’

This is a big deal. Kudos to Judge Waverly Crenshaw, who saw this case for what it was. I wrote background on the vincdictive prosecution motion for @theintercept.com here: theintercept.com/2026/02/24/t... and covered the evidentiary hearing in Nashville here:

i think we should start talking about ai as being just an app more. like no one would say 'firefox is better than my therapist'. people need to understand there's no meaningful difference between so called ai and a web browser. it's an app created by a human that delivers a coded response to input.

This is why you’ll see a lot of people suspecting something popping off on Cuba this weekend.

Cities and other groups around the U.S. are using alternatives to traditional asphalt lots in order beat the heat and curb water runoff — especially as climate change worsens.

hey everyone wanna see what a manufactured hate campaign is shaped like???

I will agree with this, and amend slightly that having someone read an older book and acknowledge that it didn't magically start to suck as soon as it left the new release shelf is like being kissed by a pixie in the autumn sun. Back lists keep the lights on!

@peter.petermorwood.com would just shake his head regretfully at stats like these and say, “Successfully resisting gravity is *not easy.*”

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

Again, pro tip for lawyers: try not do to anything that makes the judge recite this Robert Jackson quote in the opening paragraph of the opinion

Really think we could stand to drop the utterly credulous headline style of "Billionaire says doorway to Narnia will be open by 2027"

“It’s the future… adapt or die… get on board or get left behind.. etc… etc…” www.gadgetreview.com/starbucks-di...

That Arthur C Clarke rule about "any advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" sounds fun until you see that the practical application is "we believe anything a tech CEO says by default because MAYBE they are a powerful wizard"
