Russian attack on Ukraine market kills five A Russian drone hit a busy spot in the southern Ukrainian town on Saturday morning, injuring another 21 people.

At least five people were killed and 36 wounded in Russian drone and missile strikes across Ukraine overnight on Friday, authorities in Kyiv said, and “close to 20” animals died at a veterinary clinic set ablaze in the barrage.

Exactly. If it was a front for the CIA they’d have tripled its budget and put an MMA fighter in charge of it.

Can you imagine how many people approved it before publishing? Shameful.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Plus means testing has a big administrative cost that eats into the money available to provide actual services

Great speech, dude.

The AI companies write in their T&C that their AI should only be used for entertainment purposes. I don't know how they can make it clearer that you shouldn't use it for research or really anything other than a toy.

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

There were more voters who didn’t vote in ‘24 than there were those who voted for Trump. Remember: You don’t have to waste your time or breath on MAGA cult members. They are lost. Focus on the apathetic.

And we do have pretty good options for genuinely quite safe comms: Signal. Normalize using Signal! Move all your group chats over there!

Climate change: (1) it's real (2) it's bad (3) it's us (4) scientists agree (5) there's hope (but not without political will)

We have the tools and the means to solve climate change. The world (and the US) has coordinated to solve similarly expensive/challenging tasks in the near past.

GenAI sucks and is really insecure. ("my field" is Tech Due Diligence, a subset of the broader hi-tech sector)

The majority of cybersecurity risk is your own employees not following policy, not “hackers” burning a zero-day to take over your random small business.

Any spanking or physical discipline increases behavior problems and fucks kids up

Elementary: Columbus discovered America while proving the earth was round! 😀 Middle: Everyone knew the earth was round, Columbus discovered America looking for trade routes High: Columbus never set foot in “America,” where millions of people already lived College: Hoo boy, what a piece of shit

I see no problem here. Hard to disagree with and easy to chant.

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

I love Wikipedia and donate to them monthly. Everyone should.

"If you want stronger decisions, make space for every voice." This is a simple technique to do this in your meetings that really works.

My resignation letter

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options. For example, check out some of these writers:

Six months into Bari Weiss’ overhaul of CBS News, new ratings data obtained by Status shows its flagship programs are shedding viewers at an alarming rate, collapsing to historic lows and accelerating the network’s decline. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-news-r...

15. Then there's this sequence of events compiled by Gold and Geopolitics: no01.substack.com/p/march-19-2...

1. I was surprised. Though Donald Trump is the weakest president of my lifetime, in terms of principle and character, I didn't think he would set himself up to prove it to the world.

The chief district judge in New Jersey appointed Robert Frazer, a career prosecutor, to serve as US attorney for the state, ending a dispute over the legality of the office’s leadership that threatened to derail criminal investigations.

Here’s my interview with Shishir Mehotra, the CEO behind Grammarly’s “expert review” feature which attributed writing advice to people - including me lol - without permission. Or, as you will hear us talk about a lot, compensation. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...

@leahlitman.bsky.social I also loved reading that transcript, levitating.. I think a pertinent detail about why the junior prosecutor didn't do the adjournment can be understood from the original filing. Todd Blanche is there.. This whole thread is a fantastic summary. bsky.app/profile/obar...

Both yielded interesting results; both have vastly misunderstood the exquisite and messy nature of human intelligence, consciousness, and sentience.

In the first ages of AI, writing a program to play checkers or chess or Jeopardy or Go was seen as an analog to human intelligence. In this current age, language is the proxy for human intelligence.

Making the Strait of Hormuz safe for energy shipments would be a remarkable accomplishment, one that the world has never seen since the beginning of the month.

The “main goal” of the Iran War may have changed, reports Washington Post: “Israeli officials said securing the [Strait of Hormuz] for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.”

ICE agents being deployed to airports means they probably won't be able to wear their masks.

look at this baby beaver and feel better briefly (@ wildheartrescue on TT)

NEW: The Trump administraiton has lost more than 7,000 immigration detention cases in recent months. Increasingly, DOJ is telling judges they have no argument to present or couldn't get facts from ICE to present in court. A look at this emerging trend. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I know it’s unpopular on this site to point out that Democrats are largely very supportive of trans rights but they are, and we should recognize when they do the right thing

My favorite clip in the history of ever is this one:

Separate from the important topic of the article, how can NYT write like this? Did unrest just start on its own on that day? Or was it that "The Iran war began on 28 February, when the US and Israel launched surprise airstrikes Iran" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ir...) bsky.app/profile/davi...

Co-signed. And this is a hell of a lot harder to grapple with for everyone who isn’t a white conventionally-attractive guy.

And then Trump in the meeting:

Trump's aides, prepping him for the Takaichi meeting:

Let's catch up on the hilarious Afroman defamation trial: defector.com/lets-catch-u...

The fact that he can spend $45 million on lobbying would seem to demonstrate why he can pay more in taxes. (He is worth $247 billion after all.) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

tax him harder and twice on Tuesdays

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.
