Every year, public schools serve 4.9 billion lunches at the cost of about $21,000,000 per year. Bezos said doubling taxes for billionaires like him wouldn't help. One year of doubled taxes would give kids free school lunches for 82 YEARS.

A video of pro-Palestinian activists in Israeli custody being taunted by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked immediate outrage this week — including from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who moved to distance himself from his own minister. Richard Gizbert reports.

Based on everything we keep seeing I just don’t know how people are so reflexively defensive of Obama, Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries etc. They’ve all fucking failed us. Their job was/is to fight the right and they don’t do it.

The doubling down is WILD. How you gonna warn about truth and "AI" and then complain about having to do an hour's worth of work to validate your own sources?! The audacity level is off the charts with this fool. I really hope nobody buys this garbage.

I Love Boosters was fucking bonkers and I absolutely loved it. The cast. The visuals. The MUSIC. And the WTF moments that had us all hollering in the theater. I knew I had to see it again before it was even over. Bravo @bootsriley.bsky.social 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Um, how am I supposed to just go on about my day when this picture of Lupita Nyong'o exists?!? 🔥

Another episode of white/white-presenting women not learning that proximity to white male patriarchy does not make you immune from it. Oh well.

I am losing my MIND over how perfect this is. Quinta is going to kill it.

Quote with a fictional band that's not Spinal Tab

🚨The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Advisory & Severe Thunderstorm Warning for NYC. New Yorkers should take every precaution and follow guidance from NYC Emergency Management and Notify NYC.

Here's some free advice, Jeff Bezos: Shut your whore mouth

Counterpoint: Yes they are, and that is good

And of course, there is also @wikipedia.org as a resource. They now explicitly prohibit the use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content. Think about how many times a Google search you did led you to Wikipedia...so why not just go there directly instead? They even have their own app. 🙌🏽

I know moving away from Google products is hard, but leaving Search is the easiest. For a free option with AI you can opt out of, try @duckduckgo.com For a paid, ad-free option with AI as opt-in (as it should be), try @kagi.com They want you to think you have no choice, but you do.

I hereby renounce my adulthood and demand my mom come pick me up

What a wild four hours of baseball. Damn I love this goofy sport. 😂 #MetsSky #Mets #LGM

I got rid of Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp last year. I miss discovering new creators, but I don't feel like I've missed out socially. The people I have real relationships with make an effort to stay connected, and so do I. It was nice to realize that I didn't really need those apps after all.

THEY CAN MAKE FUN OF US ALL THEY WANT, BUT THE REALITY IS .......... ! 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿 #MetsSky

People love to make fun of Mets fans (more than most MLB fan bases, I'd argue) and the Mets give them so much ammo to do so. It fucking sucks. And it makes many wonder why fans stick around. Well, a game like today is why we do. Because there is always a chance. L.F.G.M. ⚾❤️⚾ #MetsSky #Mets #LGM

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Just scrolled by an anti-AI story from the Washington fucking Times so i'm really going to need Democrats to get on-message and start claiming that "AI==higher cost of living + lower quality of life + billionaire greed + consent violation" space, really fucking fast. Fucking MOVE.

the tech world has genuinely not grappled with how many people despise them and what they make

Great, just what a medium already saturated with overly confident and wrong humans needs...overly confident and wrong synthetic content. 🙄

Human interaction is soooo important that you make your employees waste hours of their lives commuting to go to meetings that could’ve happened over zoom, but you have your customers talking to AI agents and don’t have an external phone number 🙃.

Ah, the first "refs, you suck" chant of the season. The #WNBA is officially back.

On fashion’s big night out, we turned the lens onto the garment, retail, warehouse, and delivery workers who make the fashion industry possible. Read the full piece: bsky.app/profile/mayo...

So I just typed "AI" while writing a text and the next suggested word from my keyboard was "bullshit". I have trained it well. 😏

As a New Yorker, I really feel like the "city that never sleeps" title should be given to NOLA instead of us. I've probably been there over a dozen times now and still can't get over it being a real place. It's one of a kind in the best way.

A few more thoughts...what the Court actually did, why the "race-neutral" framing is a lie, and how we organized our way out the last time the Court told us our power didn't matter:

OMG THE #METS ARE SCORING RUNS #MetsSky #LGM

America.

Good. Fuck @ticketmaster.com forever.

Tenants & landlords of NYC: the Rent Guidelines Board needs to hear from you. The RGB decides whether the rents of the city’s one million rent stabilized apartments go up or stay the same. Public hearings are where New Yorkers will share their experiences. All are welcome. More info: nyc.gov/RGB

Hello friends, I addressed this message to our sister Molly (@mommunism.bsky.social) after learning what happened to her. She was the best mother and sister to hundreds of Palestinian families during the two and a half years of war. I say, evil will never triumph over good. 1/2

tfw you win one (1) baseball game

FINALLY. #Mets #LGM

Happy Jackie Robinson Day! #42 #MetsSky

Pain. #Mets #LGM

The Senga experiment is over. #MetsSky #Mets #LGM

"...five trillion. That’s roughly the number of search queries that Google processes every year, translating to tens of millions of wrong answers that the AI Overviews are providing every hour — and hundreds of thousands every minute, the analysis calculated." Just a staggering level of harm.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

It continues to be the funniest thing in the world that the Bluesky team made good functional user-friendly social media that isn’t riddled with ads and Nazis and they fucking hate it. They hate the site, they hate the users, they would all rather be doing literally anything else than this

The bluesky address is @attie.ai and it really needs to be in the top five accounts blocked on this platform. This is honestly some of the most tonedeaf shit I’ve seen from BS and thats saying something

There's my captain 🙌🏽 #LGM

What a Mets inning that was 🙄 #MetsSky #LGM

everyone should make unlearning a lifelong practice

These CarShield commercials with Eric Brynes on SNY feel like a South Park parody #MetsSky #LGM

It’s been fun the past few years, having people lie or be useful idiots about how Anti DEI is just about merit and not a backdoor whites only policy and then insist those of us who saw that clearly are shrill or paranoid
