A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

McHat Attack!!!

Never mind the law, public opinion, or common sense: Danielle Smith will ensure there’s a separation referendum on the ballot. albertapolitics.ca/2026/04/neve...

I spend a lot of time visiting city workers during the day — but New York never sleeps, and neither do the people who keep it running. Tonight, I met up with a few incredible teams working the night shift.

To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎

Crying into your steering wheel is the sign of a healthy society, actually.

You never miss professional diplomats until they're gone

Those Fallout games really hit on a great business thing for their soundtrack where they license a song called Wing a ding ding Doodle from 1949 and pay 3 dollars for it and an entire generation of nerds has fond memories of roaming the Mojave listening to Wing a ding ding Doodle with Boone

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

hegseth pledged "no quarter." earlier this year a US sub sank a boat of iranians coming back from a fleet regatta. those we didn't kill we abandoned to drown. this week the iranians shot down and captured US pilots who were bombing them and it's being called a "hostage taking."

I had a wonderful time talking about projecting with Rutgers faculty and grad students from History, English, and French (maybe more?). Another reminder of how important face-to-face conversations are, within and across disciplines, and how much good work is just getting started

Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.

i know i only got like $400 for this. and it barely helped me financially, but it was worth writing this because of the thousands of people who have told me it helped them or inspired them www.polygon.com/23473203/pok...

Watching Artemis II earlier compelled me to try and find this: my one great shot from when my mom pulled me out of school to go to an overpass by NASA Ames/Moffett Field to watch Endeavor fly by, atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, on its way to its final home in L.A. Unforgettable.

I think mine is still when Ted Cruz was thirsting after Cory Chase on main.

This is a wild and lengthy thread about someone checking out the Claude Code leak and I'm no expert but was still surprised at some of what was in there. neuromatch.social/@jonny/11632...

I can't believe Katherine Johnson used to do these sorts of calculations and simulations BY HAND. I'm flabbergasted.

Third Way, January 2025: No more litmus tests! Democrats must "reject the pledges!" Third Way, March 2026: Here's a litmus test!

NEW ARTICLE! NEW ARTICLE!! Ever wonder ~why~ so many Western stories about samurai all tell you a story about someone who really, really, really likes honor? Where did that come from? And why is it so pervasive? What are samurai movies really about? medium.com/@docseuss/wh...

This is Contraband (on my shoulder), and Custard 2 (in my hands). They are just babiesssss.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

On this Trans Day of Visibility, I am grateful to everyone who came before me and lived their lives in public so that I had a chance to learn for myself, and I commit to doing the same for those to come.

Mamdani is getting allergy shots so he and his wife, Rama, can get a cat.

For anyone who is in the throes of grief a robin to remind us that love itself never dies only the body

The Dems need to catch their asses up to this

Plucked out 2 points! Plus a podzilla to savvy goal??

Zohran Mamdani continues to pose the crazy question “what if the government you paid all those taxes to was actually using that money to improve your life?”

I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me
