I do not want to hear a damn word about men being allies. As long as they stood there and did nothing, said nothing, they enable him and every woman knows they aren’t trustworthy either. Spare me the endless analyses about how hard men have it. They behave like this and get to be president.

@nytopinion.nytimes.com Please alert #RossDouthat so he can enlighten us

that people use AI technologies in their work and explain that it saves them precious time that they can devote to other more urgent tasks tells me less about the wondrousness of the technologies and more about the overextension and immiseration of workers.

Remember that Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley Piyush Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal Raphael Cruz ran as Ted Cruz Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani ran as Zohran Mamdani, and MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics Every MAGA accusation is a confession

I don’t think they’re on here, but #bookriot has a great podcast called ‘Zero to Well-Read’ & the latest episode is about The Secret History & it’s a JOY How quickly he fell, how soon it was over #ogdarkacademia bookriot.com/introducing-...

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Three children were killed by lawn darts in the 70’s and they were banned in the US. ChatGPT has caused how many deaths at this point? If corporations are people, why aren’t we holding them criminally liable?

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant." SAY. THAT. SHIT!

YES!

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Here’s where it gets personal for me. When I was 9, I started experiencing suicidal ideation … disinterested in living, and at least some of the time contemplating death and how it might happen … It’s easy to imagine how I would have used programs like these chatbots.

Why is this a debate? Why is this an analysis? Why are we discussing his motivations or the reasoning behind why he has it or why he kept it? (These are all rhetorical questions.) Nazi tattoo = you’re done. It’s literally that simple. There’s no nuance or further conversation needed.

Ahh yes. The impossible standard of “don’t be a nazi.”

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity. msf.org/msf-denounce...

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything. Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

This.

1 transgender shooter GOP: "We must institutionalize all transgenders!" 47,209 white male shooters GOP: "This is the cost of freedom."

"Two viable female candidates run for president in the last decade and lose to a man who can't make complete sentences. It says more about us as a society.

Had it been a student who was shot at Utah Valley University and not Charlie Kirk, Trump wouldn’t have cared at all. No flags at half mast, no impassioned speech at the memorial service. He probably wouldn’t have contacted the victim’s family at all. It would have been just another day in the U.S.

Outstanding piece, @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

Hmm, which would be harder, controlling the thoughts and speech acts of almost 350 million super diverse people, or enacting basic gun safety laws that have worked literally everywhere they’ve been tried, and which have broad popular support in the country, even among Republicans?

I teach at the community college just down the road. What we couldn’t do with this money. Just insane.

The Dept of Education is now accepting comments on a proposed rule that would overhaul Public Service Loan Forgiveness, and make it too expensive for students to go into work that threatens the Trump administration Folks have til *Sept. 17* to oppose the changes ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Dear America: The problem is the guns. It’s always been the guns. Making guns and ammo easily accessible while you have a dictator constantly spewing violent rhetoric is a recipe for disaster. Sensible gun control would drastically reduce the violence.

The simplest explanation for why the right does not appear to care that Donald Trump is a sexual abuser and a pedophile is that they do not, in fact, care if he is a sexual abuser and a pedophile.

Over and over again, we are reminded that Donald Trump is a rapist. That everyone knows he’s a rapist. That we learn more about his crimes constantly. And that we live in a society where, somehow, we’re still being asked for more proof to remove him from the White House.

The damage this man has done is incalculable.

#2A #GVP The mass murderer who shot up the school this morning was able to *legally* purchase the rifle, pistol, and shotgun used in the school shooting, according to police. All were bought recently. Our gun laws are not yet strict enough to prevent deeply disturbed individuals from buying guns.

Has your country considered not allowing just any mad fucker to have firearms? Living your lives wedded to a 235-year-old political ideology would seem to be an error of judgement

A few quick things. The media is going to fall over itself looking for a “motive.” Ultimately, rampage shootings come down to 1)they had the desire, and 2) they had the means. /1

Literally all you have to do is look at the data, which is EVERYWHERE, about who commits the most gun violence. It’s cis white men. Hands down. Refute this bullshit every single time you see it and hear it. Tell them they are fucking liars to their faces. Because they are fucking liars.

For October, looking to profile a former government worker with a disability who was laid off this year at @motherjones.com for National Disability Employment Awareness Month. I imagine this should take roughly an hour of your time. Please reach out at [email protected]

The main reason I can’t get on board with the so called “AI revolution” is that the future the tech bros are so eager for us to embrace involves even more sexual violence. To me, that automatically makes it an oppressive dystopia we should resist with all our might.

AI will never locate a new archive. It will never uncover a new source. It will never find a small, privately held collection of papers that can upend what we think we know about the past. It can never work with undigitized sources. It can never do real oral history or ethnography.

This is a really important article about how #communitycolleges serve ALL the people. So proud to be at a CC. #professorsky #academicsky #englishprofessors

The actual conspiracy theory is that multiple women independently lied, with apparently nothing to gain, and much to lose, about Trump’s entanglement with Epstein. katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!" Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

Can confirm.

This is why women don’t come forward. 5 hockey players accused of sexually assaulting a woman in Canada were found not guilty because she wasn’t deemed credible “enough” It’s bad enough that most rapes don’t even get prosecuted, even fewer are ever found guilty:

www.npr.org/2025/07/20/n... The way that man and his pathetic minions smirked and clapped as he talked about destroying Lesotho with tariffs…it is the absolute worst of the USA. Ignorant, smug, arrogant…and fully unconcerned with the lives of others. 🇱🇸

i can’t remember anything that has felt more foisted upon us than AI. repeatedly telling us why we actually need is like thinking a joke will get funnier the more you explain it.
