Larry Summers’s co-teacher at Harvard: “We will miss his insights and his wisdom” Student: “NO WE WON’T” dude pretends he doesn’t hear, then intros Tony Blair lmao

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

losing my mind over youtube's suggested reply for this comment

Personally, I think the idea that all women should be measured by the failures of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is actually a sort of sexist doomerism.

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

If I had to predict a high-impact story that is flying under the radar now but will play a big role in next year's major federal and state elections in the U.S., it'll be electricity prices and data centers. Easy-to-understand affordability and corruption story.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

i know there are a lot of insane epstein stories out there right now but i promise you guys this one is EXTRA NUTS

Sapiens (2014)

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Fucking hell Sarah just take your three days like our lord and savior and then come back even more on your bullshit

I’m thankful for brave women like Lindsey Boylan in NY and Monisha Harrell in Seattle. They stood up to men in power, held them accountable, didn’t relent, and helped defeat them. All at great personal cost.

NYT had details of Trump's engagement with Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking and *hid it for him*, at the same time it was crucifying Clinton as untrustworthy due to her document retention & security.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Since Larry Summers is in the news for being a real son of a bitch I wanted to show my favorite piece of economic wisdom he had about the US coming out of COVID where he just lists all the possibilities and says they’re all equally likely

I’ve written about a lot of forensic charlatanism over the years, but this is might be the most laughably stupid garbage I’ve ever seen. Hope this woman sues the pants off of them. www.theblaze.com/news/former-...

we spoke to @stopthedata.bsky.social’s amber fellows on why the town of ypsilanti is rallying against a proposed AI data center that will be used by nuclear weapons researchers and the personal trauma of fighting this as a Japanese-American person 80 years after from the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings

The only performative reading I know about is that I used to be neighbors with Ethan Hawke and he would pace up and down the street in jeans and a t-shirt, smoking and running his hands through his hair, while reading Allen Ginsberg aloud, clearly wanting people to be impressed with his fervor.

50 years today, damn

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

no money for politicians

To state the obvious, doctors lawyers and priests are not products offered by a company that generates statistically likely text

The “winners” of capitalism are lonely, unhappy, and destructive. They can’t even perform faux-happiness. That’s what fascism brings to the forefront. Capitalism is annihilation and it steals everything human and good and juices it of all its worth. These assholes are instructive, cautionary tales.

We should be infinitely grateful that Trump and Musk and all these fascist oligarchs are so transparently miserable and pathetic. It shatters the fantasy that has kept capitalism humming and makes it undeniable that things have to change.

“A federal judge on Thursday excoriated the Trump administration’s blitz of hardball tactics against elite universities, warning that the government’s threats and investigations were undermining academic freedom at the University of California.”

It’s really important to note who filed the lawsuit: faculty and staff. Once again, not administrators.

My favorite comment on the FT story

We don't share the same values, either personally or professionally, if you think AI bots belong in the library. 📚 www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

This person took this when they called the race

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

I love that continued AI development is breaking everything, and the only cost is our entire economy and several dozen tons of CO2.

This is actually why I stopped saying what was wrong with AI art, text, music, and videos. He's right in that every time we point it out they focus on fixing it

As Ring announces increased partnership with Flock and law enforcement, do not be fooled by reassurances that you can 'opt out.' Here's evidence that ICE tapped flock from local agencies sometimes without consent: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

If it weren't 1:40 AM, I would have so, so mcu to say about this developement in the relationship between preprints and journals.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Hi, I'm a freelance Democratic party strategist in your mentions. After we protect trans rights by banning them from sports, we should move on to protecting abortion rights by restricting bodily autonomy. Next, we'll reign in ICE by getting tough on the border.

DAIR’s (@dairinstitute.bsky.social) latest report offers a chilling glimpse into how Amazon is using technology to ramp up surveillance of delivery drivers, violating existing workers' rights and creating unsafe working conditions. www.dair-institute.org/projects/dri...

ONLY AT PUBLICOLA: New Police Contract Will Boost Starting Salaries to Almost $120,000—a 42% Pay Increase in Just Five Years The contract reportedly includes only minimal concessions on police accountability. The city just bumped starting salaries to $104,000—the highest in the state—last year.

*screams in device fail safe*

New from 404 Media: ICE, the Secret Service, and NCIS all had access to Flock's nationwide network of AI-enabled cameras, letter reveals. Shows many more federal agencies had access to network that authorities typically use without a warrant to search whole country www.404media.co/ice-secret-s...

Sounds good, let’s do it

Wow, recalling my political history, and in a time of strife. Not a good look
