OH MY GOD DRC

Well, that was a fucking ride.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

Important and much needed reminder that as long as oppressive hierarchies have been around, people have sought ways to alleviate themselves, even for a moment, from the oppressive bs they’re daily subjected to.

It’s Allman Brothers hot out here

pitch-perfect talking point

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.

This is good. Really, really good.

He not only owns the website! He is directly in charge of which posts the website shows people! Musk is more responsible for whipping up these mobs than anyone else!

Fascists in Belfast set fire to buildings with people inside them. People of colour left work early to stay indoors. This is being actively encouraged by the world’s richest man whose openly pro-white nationalist platform X is still used by the UK government www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“Congress's top bathroom sheriff Nancy Mace is on the ballot, and while not all of the votes have been counted yet, she is in a respectful fifth place,” Sarah McBride just said. “I don't like punching down and I believe in the politics of grace. So all I will say is happy Pride, Nancy.”

These should only be used for bringing outside food and drink into the theaters

wonderful piece from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social that, among other things, makes abundantly clear that pete hegseth and the trump administration are engaged in a racist purge of black officers under the belief that being black and having "merit" are mutually exclusive.

An unbelievable interview.

Any time a Spanish speaking government does right by its poorest the New York Times summons the ghost of United Fruit

In 1961, the Portland Beavers were an affiliate of #STLCards. Look at that jersey. We need a special night to honor this glory. @bookowl.bsky.social

people spend enormous amounts of time fighting online about whether to talk about epstein and corruption or affordability and, look, it’s really not that hard to do both at once

wheeeeee!

Even if this film does nothing else of worth, the radical and brilliant choice to make the Middle Ages *more* colorful and *more* vibrantly dressed than the B&W present may be the most groundbreaking (and accurate) innovation in how films depict the past in many years! youtu.be/cXA3Zgsky18

Listen, if you want your kid to have a functioning HVAC at school during a climate crisis, the state will give you a coupon to attend a private school that can provide this kind of luxury.

Fuck this demented bigot and fuck everyone who supports or apologizes for him

whEeEeEeEe!

Historian of slavery here the Pope is single handedly showing us the best of America in these very troubling times and needed on the 250th of the republic, to see the virtues that made the U.S. admired all over the world, the ability to admit a mistake. apnews.com/article/pope...

excerpts from this will absolutely be a primary source in my world history class next year

I miss my dude @gregorykhillis.bsky.social most on days like this

“In practice, however, technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate and use it… With the heart of a shepherd…, I ask everyone to abandon the construction of yet another Tower of Babel and to join forces in building up the common good.”

Ya'll. I am shook. In a good way. Pope Leo XIV makes historic apology for Holy See's own role in legitimizing Slavery

when my school newspaper asked me what my biggest fear about this war was back in the early days I told them it had already happened

Lots of terrible things happen in every war but I’m not going to soon forget the dozens of little girls killed in the opening salvoes of this war. The recourse to war—even “just” airstrikes—should be regretted by leaders and citizens because every war kills innocents.

Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

finish them

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world 😍 airesistlist.org

We are also releasing a new research primer, "Myths about Generative AI, Productivity, and Labor Displacement", which discusses five common myths around generative AI at work. This primer will be the first of many. labor.dair-institute.org/primers

genuinely a great thing for this organization, hopefully they can import some city fan clubs to keep this thing going all summer #stlcards

underrated moment here is the second speaker who claims she has "the part of the ceremony that doesn't require AI"

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

this came together relatively quickly and they had rideshare programs from southern cities. huge respect to black power war room.

so uh mussolini: son of the century was fuckin incredible

it is crucial that the MLA, the AHA, and the ACLS joined forces to fight the illegal theft of federal research and programming funds i donated to support these efforts, and if you can, in any amount, you should too

always read @jtpmedieval.bsky.social

excellent rules for us in education too
