by this time next year ai will be capable of opening presents with your family, freeing you up to finish those spreadsheets your boss has been waiting on

Every movie is a Christmas movie

I was born in April 1805 Napoleon was master of Europe Only the BRITISH FLEET stood before him Oceans were now battlefields

NYT inventing the world they want to be true

I really fucking hate how every time Trump bombs another country no one on here actually responds to the actual horror of what that means… instead it’s just a million posts of “someone tell FIFA to give back his peace prize 🤣”

Hillary Clinton crafting the perfect statement to piss every person off, weaken her political standing, and be completely wrong on the merits.

This is the American economy now

Merry Christmas we are all going to die

A grandmother will spend Christmas with her family after ICE held her for nearly five months. She’s had a green card for 30+ years and lived in the U.S. since childhood. Her detention ended only after public and congressional pressure. www.star-telegram.com/news/nation-...

Christmas Day is for basketball.

Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name. "These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

A friend told me race was socially constructed so I socially constructed it

And we're saying Merry Christmas again, very strongly

Everyone has lost their damn minds

Israeli occupation forces distributed warning leaflets in Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank, this morning, threatening Palestinian residents that posting, sharing, or publishing online content critical of Israel would be treated as a terrorist offense, potentially resulting in arrest or 1/2

Yeah man if you remove the agreed upon meaning of every word in the English language that is definitely true

This is where Agent Cooper was having coffee and pie in Twin Peaks

Really awful things happening in higher education right now

This guy is lying, but it is so funny to describe taking a class with assigned readings as being forced to read and attend weekly struggle sessions.

Does this guy ever shut up?

WaPo reports that ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people. Recalls the acting ICE director 2015 statement that he wanted to see a “business”-oriented approach to deportations, “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I bet this goes so hard if you just got a lobotomy

I’m still laughing at this lady being like “do you all REALLY think Bari Weiss is an evil dipshit? Doesn’t seem likely to me.”

That’s because Musk is a serial liar and DOGE was never intended to save a penny. It was intended to smash the administrative state, kill corruption watchdogs, and give Musk access to massive troves of data.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

I love that he's explaining the housing crisis from the landlord perspective

This is such an insane proposal. Beyond obviously being a net negative for students capacity to learn, mental health, safety, etc, etc, AI companies are run by, and partnered with, people and organizations who want to destroy public schools and replace your union members with machines.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Beyond all her awfulness, the other primary feature of Weiss is that she is legitimately stupid. She doesn’t know anything about anything. She could not name you two policies of Bukele’s government.

One of the single worst people of this era of politics. I will never forget this man crying on the floor of the Senate about how hard it was to vote for Brett Kavanaugh (which he was a Yes for). Sickening in a way the MAGA hardcore somehow could not be.

I'm not the only person to have written it, and Parker in particular also did it well, but this was a lazy work the whole time. You can make a whole rancid career in the conservative politics biz just by knowing who you can get away with trying to hurt and then doing it. defector.com/the-conserva...

Yeah, I mean where else could you look around right now and see evil, corruption, and incompetence all rolled into one?

amazing work of course but it’s always like “the victim’s murder-crazed ex-boyfriend was cleared by police after he said he definitely didn’t do it” and then he looks like this

NEW AT DEMOGRAPHY: We use difference-in-difference approach using applicant vs. implemented counties w/ 287(g) ICE agreements 2000-2020 to identify a plausibly causal effect immigration enforcement leading to sizeable increase in Latino-White segregation. OPEN ACCESS PDF doi.org/10.1215/0070...

I know she's just kind of saying whatever, but it's on-brand for Bari Weiss to review a damning story about the US sending people to a concentration camp and respond "we can't air this, have you even asked Tom Homan if he feels bad about any of it yet?" Perfect readout of who she sees, and doesn't.

The idea that universities aren’t supposed to teach people what to think sounds great until you think about it for two seconds.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

Another thing about this interminable discussion about using the R slur is that I stopped in 7th grade when my grandma heard me say it and told me it was hurtful. It isn’t a victim of “wokeness,” it is basic human decency that was easily communicated and understood between a 60 YO and a 13 YO.

Bari Weiss praised El Salvador's dictator before spiking '60 Minutes' story on his torture prison. new w/ @premthakker.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...

Am I going fucking crazy?? He is the VP of an administration who deported or revoked the visas of thousands of people over antisemitism! They made universities pay hundreds of million of dollars and pledge to address antisemitism on campus! They threw a person in detention for an op-ed!

It's so weird how the democratic party decided that the 8% of republicans that don't support Trump is somehow the most relevant constituency in the whole country...

My bestie Alex just started chemo for colon cancer and she asked me to use my platform to tell you to get your butts checked for tumors. We’re all fans of butts here on Bluesky, and we should do our part to preserve their bountiful beauty for all to enjoy. Let’s make 2026 the year of the colonoscopy

Democrats should go all in on blasting this out, both as a story about brutal injustice against migrants and about oligarchy and corruption in media

News stories about the concentration camps we run in foreign countries have to be smuggled to a third country in order to be seen.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

This was Joe Biden’s closest media ally
