There’s something super sinister about the contentification of our institution, especially international institutions. It‘s giving broke!

Niks hiervan is onderdeel van de politietaak. De inzet van geweld in deze situatie dient geen doel, en kan dus onmogelijk proportioneel en noodzakelijk zijn. Die groep MEer moet door een collega tot bedaren worden gebracht terwijl ze een kind in elkaar rossen. En de politie(vakbond) zal er

How have we all in Europe collectively lost our minds when it comes to immigration??? I ask and do not seek answers…

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

Cynicism is laziness masquerading as wisdom.

And so it begins... everyone who is about to be offered a job should ask for DOUBLE, then join a union. 🙂

Is the Hague police more racist than other cities? I feel like I have seen this before and it was again in the Hague… like literally we learned zero from blm…

Jezus, hoe Haagse agenten tekeer gaan tegen kinderen die hun handen al in de lucht hebben of tegen de muur staan. En maar blijven knuppelen.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

“Wharton School researchers have dubbed this phenomenon ‘cognitive surrender,’ in which users shift from treating AI as a tool to treating it as an authority, accepting its answers rather than actively evaluating them.”

We moeten ons echt vele malen meer zorgen maken om de mannen die AI als wondermiddel pushen – en met ronduit gevaarlijke aanbevelingen komen vanwege zelfoverschatting en afwezigheid van voldoende kritisch denkvermogen – dan om 'te slimme/krachtige' AI.

Recently read an essay from a conservative magazine (I liked another essay by the writer!) and my God, it was Boring. Do conservatives just not know how to produce interesting & insightful cultural analysis? (The answer is yes, because they find it irrelevant.)

Mmm idk there are still some good writers/journos left IMO! But also I am definitely in a small bubble, once I went a bit outside of it, I couldn’t talk for a half a day… El00n defo effed up the app! Sucks for us! (not sure if Bsky will ever take off that way…)

Oh today is especially depressing

Mijn favoriete Lukaku-feitje is dat hij bij Inter Stefan de Vrij hoorde praten over zijn transfer en zei "neem je contract eens mee naar de club, volgens mij klopt dat niet." Na het contract bekeken te hebben adviseerde hij De Vrij om eens goed te laten uitzoeken hoe zijn agent hem mogelijk naaide.

Has cancel culture gone too far? Is wokeness run amok? These have been the defining concerns of a lot of nominally centrist media for the last few years. Next week there will be a Thomas Chatterton Williams essay on how, somehow, this is just the woke right responding to identity politics.

Amazing!!! Thanks, been looking for this!!

Wonderful!

*Since October, his net worth has doubled *His net worth is now equivalent to more than 3%, 5 million times that of a typical family *Households in the top 10% of income hold less than .001% of Musk's net work

"2.5 billion gallons" sounds like a lot but is about 2 tenths of 1% of the amount of water (approx 5 million acre-feet per year) used to grow almonds just in California. www.c-win.org/cwin-water-b...

Pro-Palestine marches will openly be called "hate marches" in the press, but these arsonist pogroms, illustrated by a burned-out bus, are simply "disorder"

In his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/w...

fangirling because closest I will get as a shoutout from Michael!!! Aah!!!!!! Thanks!! We did that!!!

lol am really improving my Dutch skills by reading people shitting on Bregman

Hunter Biden spending his whole day every day on Twitter being like "I'm not a pedophile, I was smoking crack with ADULT hookers at the Super 8 outside of Newark, you guys have pictures of all of it INCLUDING my hog from My Leaked Stolen Laptop™" is a masterstroke. Should've done this years ago.

are you just going to do this for every generation

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

It's becoming clear that global elites are in the midst of a moral panic. I don't know much about Polanski, but Mamdani's proposals (as well as the policies he's enacted as mayor) aren't particularly radical. Modestly raise taxes on the wealthy and improve public services. That's it!

and b) I think back to when I first read LowerEd, and how that book began to shift my understanding of bottom-up workplace and credentialing trends. ie: what happens to lower wage workers tends to happen to higher wage workers, just later. And society doesn't often pay attention.

Correct. If we misdiagnose this as a middle class concern, we will repeat the housing crisis mistakes.

I point this out to say that “AI” is most legible in the context of technological advancements in labor busting and the least legible as a productivity or efficiency tool.

I want to say one thing about this. This has been the hiring process for low wage workers for awhile. Wal Mart et al have been using automated job application systems to gamify everything from postings to schedules. The crisis, such that it is, is that it is now happening in middle skills jobs.

Everyday I confirm to myself we are living in scam economy

This is phenomenal

this is a core fascist narrative

Congrats everyone: thanks to the AI boom, the US is now investing more in fossil fuel power than China, a country with four times the population.

they couldn’t get people into the metaverse so they’re going to try and turn the real world into the metaverse

Lol and this opinion is goooone

if you are "using AI for writing," you are not writing. i do not know how to make this any simpler

Aquarius: As you begin to witness miracle after miracle, you'll slowly realize it's not the saved lives or realized dreams you're meant to be seeing, but a choice made by God, or maybe the Universe, to never help you, specifically, even though it would be super easy to do.

Onze taal heeft geen woord sterk genoeg om mijn afschuw over dit amendement te vatten. De criminalisering van ongedocumenteerden is op zichzelf onacceptabel, en kan alleen maar leiden tot vervolging, geweld en de dood. 🧵Het gruwelijke criminaliseren van ongedocumenteerden
