This is extremely funny but he could have topped it with a hot mic moment afterwards yelling in a Nixon voice about making sure that [expletive deleted] kid never works in this town again

The persistent belief that "Tech" is a non-human thing and covering it that way, rather than understanding it as fully human-made and suffused throughout our lives.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

KANZI: Kanzi bag of holding. Fantastical Kanzi magic bag. RESEARCHER: No, Kanzi. You can't have a bag of holding. KANZI: Good magic good Kanzi give beautiful Kanzi deserve bonobo RESEARCHER: Kanzi, we simply can’t create a magic bag. It is a physical impossibility. KANZI: narrow-mindedness professor

This is one of the best into to curling videos I've ever seen

I think we just draw to the button and let 'em make their shot but skip says the double raise is there

Boris Nikolic: When are you back in NYC? Epstein: 4th im in palm with all the trump boys. . fun Email from December 25, 2016.

I had a dog who was not fond of rain and outright afraid of thunder. One time it started storming while he was in the back yard and I found him looking as close to straight up as a dog can look, barking his head off at God.

You are more likely to get health care from the Nickelodeon cartoon "Avatar" than whatever the hell Oz is on about. (it's pretty good for a kid's show, maybe it'd help you pass the time while you were sick)

This is genocidal language

Came back from Canada today and didn't realize that I'd apparently cleared customs in Toronto. Very disorienting not to biometrically assayed and then squinted at by surly passport checkers who I can be surly right back to BECAUSE I AM AN AMERICAN. Then again maybe they're busy elsewhere.

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

here's my entry!! #Comics4Liam

Bari Weiss attended a fundraiser last night in NYC, attendee tells me. There was an auction item for dinner with her and wife Nellie Bowles. Several people cheered in approval, many others said after how gross it was. Bari shouted out “And you can make out with Nellie!” It ultimately sold for $55k.

If only someone could write about a dozen news stories and win a Pulitzer Prize for how Trump has been lying about donating money to charity his entire adult life, by God, then we'd have him! www.pulitzer.org/winners/davi...

so there's only two options here, both of which are bad for the state of things for us regular folks but more importantly, *horrendous* for the regime 1. ICE goons are going buckwild with no direction at all, leading to this kind of thing 2. ICE goons have been *told* to do this kind of thing

I saw it too:

Federal paramilitaries running up on the rooftops to fire irritants and flash bangs down into a peaceable assembly full of little kids

Thousands of union members staged a nonviolent march today. iCE gassed the crowd of nurses and teaches. The neighborhood is in a cloud. Flash bangs are being fired.

I got tear gassed too. Totally peaceful protest, largely nurses and teachers. Elderly man near me couldn't open his eyes and a woman near me was comforting her baby. Right now I'm still in the OHSU parking garage nearby wondering why nobody seems able to leave... cars not moving at all.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

JD Vance in 2021:

So great is my respect for the community response that I know without looking that someone had a leather-paneled protest sign out on the streets of Minneapolis within hours of this nonsense.

BOISE: The pro-ICE event at the Idaho State Capitol building was a massive flop. It appears they reserved the entire park and had the streets blocked off all the way through Cecil D. Andrus Park. You can barely make them out, not filling up the steps in front of the building.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

In September, Musk tweeted “this is false” in response to a Forbes article based on previously released documents that stated he “planned a trip to Epstein’s private island.” He also wrote “Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED.” Yeah.. okay. Emails here:

I walk along neatly plowed sidewalks through a tunnel of displaced snow as tall as I am. The temperature is 1°F. "This is good. This feels right. Surely this humanity's natural state," I say, heedless to the fact that I would be dead before suppertime if I had to stay out in it.

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

Starbucks workers in Texas had their store close for 3 days due to extreme weather... but management told the workers that the storm wasn't bad enough for them to get pay. This is against company policy. Once the store reopened, union workers said HELL NO and went on STRIKE!

Starbucks has a history of uneven & unsafe weather policies. Multiple workers affected by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires were told to stay open and work in evacuation areas. Union baristas then organized, took action, and WON pay for missed shifts.

DHS arrested a large number of bystanders at the time of the murder of Alex Pretti, apparently to prevent them from giving accounts of what transpired. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

"I don't think about her." To the extent that Trump is still capable of thought, he thinks about few people more obsessively than he does Rep. Omar, a Black woman who doesn't take his shit.

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

When you need a legendary rock star to do the absolute weirdest thing, accept no substitutes: make it Neil Young. bsky.app/profile/raws...

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post

Did he then withdraw it 80 or 100 more times, occasionally switching to a different phrasing or emphasis in the message before returning to the original withdrawal? (just kidding, I love his music and he's obviously totally right to do this)

UW-Madison Ph.D. alum and oh this is some ABSOLUTE nonsense. Whatever administrative loose ends there were could have been tied off neatly rather than burning the whole thing to the ground. But yeah what do university libraries need with goodwill and community engagement these days?

not now monster neutrino

That’s like 2008 levels of bloodbath

When I say this agency [ICE and CBP] CAN’T be reformed this is why.

Other folks have already noted much of this, but I think the MAGA 'theory of victory' here is: 1) DHS provocations trigger a riot or attack on agents which 2) Leads to widespread civil unrest in many 'blue' cities so that 3) Trump can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops...
