Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

“A people who value their comfort and calm more than their freedom are all too prone to accept a despot, as long as the stock market continues to boom.” A book written almost 50 years ago sounds eerily prescient today. Lorraine Daston explores.

“From Shakespeare to sexbots, centuries of culture and commerce have rehearsed the same fantasy: if women cannot be controlled as people, they can be remade as objects.” — new me at @damemagazine.bsky.social www.damemagazine.com/2026/04/10/w... #feminism #tech #AI

In other news, I am really excited to share some new initiatives we're launching at The Rumpus including increased pay, writing and editorial fellowships, and microgrants. therumpus.net/2026/03/31/e...

‘Nonfiction books are a crucial bulwark against the surging public culture of “alternative facts,” outright lies, and the brazen embrace of ignorance.‘ newrepublic.com/article/2076...

There are just no words. More power to her. May she find peace as she continues to do her amazing work.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

This is clearly blatantly intentional voter suppression and any claim otherwise is completely unserious

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 "Former Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship — Harvard’s highest faculty distinction — and remaining on leave until that time"

imagine how many reporters you could employ for their entire career with just the tax savings from this year.

Yet another indictment of the United States health system that James Van Der Beek’s wife and six kids need a gofundme because his unsuccessful cancer treatment destroyed them financially www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

i think the most likely scenario for AI in the workplace will be a separation between people who use AI and think it works when it doesn't, and then another group of people who don't use AI who end up picking up the slack for the AI users.

This is not writing. Do not let people express this delusion in your face.

He was installed to destroy it, so saving it was never an option for him.

Felon47 is trying to interfere with elections...AGAIN.

#Caturday! Freddie has become a snow bunny.

"Many wonder why Jeff Bezos has not simply put the Post up for sale. 'He won’t talk to me,' said Kara Swisher, who previously expressed interest in buying the paper. 'I’m sure he will sell it to some stupid guy with whom he swans around in Aspen.'" www.cjr.org/analysis/wha...

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling. In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

@theferocity.bsky.social they’re on Quincy St … be careful! Thinking of you.

Donald Trump is already laying the groundwork to throw the 2026 midterms into chaos. His success could have dire consequences for American democracy, @dgraham.bsky.social argues. (From November)

I’m trying not to be impulsive in my commentary so I’m just posting this story without offering any of the comments that I could readily make about it But 2014 is after 2007

Burn it all down.

BREAKING: One of the tipsters from the Epstein docs that DOJ pulled down and put back up has reached out to me. I'll tell you what we know on @meidastouch.com in one hour. As always, we have receipts. Link: www.youtube.com/live/xiSmcNV...

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Catherine O’Hara of Beetlejuice and Schitt’s Creek has died at age 71. RIP to one of the all-time greatest women in comedy. people.com/catherine-oh...

Arresting journalists. Good God.

Charging a Black journalist under the KKK Act for reporting on a protest is a whole new level of fucked up.

THIS BETTER BE GAY! 🤌🏽

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States. Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

NEW: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Ken Paxton, the Texas AG has created a bathroom snitch line to report suspected trans people in bathrooms. Please don't spam this form that lacks a captcha code and definitely don't create a script to automate it. That would be very very wrong to do. www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/texas-womens...

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...
