This is brilliant.

Our mid 20th century economic model only gets worse and more expensive.

right now in Los Angeles.

The regime can't fall soon enough.

No one believes you, and that's entirely because of the world you yourself created, buddy.

HAPPENING NOW: Thousands of people are in the streets in DC as part of the #MayDay day of action and solidarity. We refuse to cooperate with a regime that is killing people, ignoring the law, and destroying our rights.

Forget "staged shooting." Looks like there was no "shooting" at all. A THREAD.

NYers do this please.

The attack on the UCLA Gaza encampment was one of the first times in my professional career where I took a look at a situation and thought, “someone might seriously die tonight” Some of the worst hours I’ve ever experienced and reported on

May the AI scam die, and may whatever is actually useful of this tech grow in a world where it isn't being shoved down our throats by severely confused and emotionally deficient billionaire bros.

Elon and Bezos totally have to get to Mars much faster now. Today. By themselves. We don't have much time.

To say this feels...not legal...would be like saying an Elephant is not a small animal.

Businesses having more electoral rights than people of color was an inevitable outcome of the corporatocracy but it still sucks. We need real revolution, not a blue wave that still leaves us stranded in the land of capitalism. National strike May 1st. 👇 www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

My astrological friends tell me guillotines are coming this summer. May they be compassionate, mindful, and only cut precisely what needs to be cut away from our society. May we 86 what needs to be 86'ed, in other words, and may all be safe.

Until we totally restructure the American federal government (and we need to), Dems have to play under the same rules their fascist opponents have chosen. Glad to see this from my Governor.

I put on a pair of jeans with a rip in the knee this morning. My daughter took one look and said "I'm just not used to you *trying* to dress cool, dad." Buddhist practice does not prepare you for this level of savage.

People in other countries whose governments have been smart enough to have gotten them off fossil fuels like Jimmy Carter and Al Gore wanted us to do so many decades ago.

The only thing I can say about the boomer generation of leaders anymore is that if I am lucky enough to reach 75 in my career and someone younger says "hey please we love you but time for us to take over," I plan to humbly comply and help them do so. I plan to help long before that, actually.

Social media moguls will (and should) increasingly be treated as tobacco companies or like the Sacklers and I’m here for it.

I'm taking Friday off from work and buying anything in solidarity. You?

$25 feels low, but nice start.

This is happening in the middle of Tel Aviv 👏🏼👏🏼👇🏼💙

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Meditate today, even for just five minutes. If you’re dreading the start of the week, make it 10. :)

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

You can't boycott a product if you've already permanently removed it from your consumption.

An America destroyed by madness was on full display after the chaos of an assassination attempt at the WCHA dinner, in a nation so numb to gun violence and so drunk on corruption that Trump and journalists wanted to party on Gunfire of the Vanities: My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

There are many ways you can participate in the massive day of economic disruption on Friday, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

I have empathy for anyone affected unnecessarily by gun violence anywhere at any time. I also have anger toward any journalist who hobnobs with and enables a fascist regime that guarantees unnecessary gun violence will continue as long as they're in power. Two feelings can, and do, coexist.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

So let me get this right. Trump skips the correspondence dinner all 4 years of his first term and 1 year of his second. His approval ratings drop to new lows. And he decides to go this time, where somehow an active shooter got close enough to cause a scene... again But trump is fine... again...

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Nobody believes anything is real anymore, and sadly, the trump regime and the journalists in that room bear responsibility for so much of that phenomenon.

The real news seems to be that the number of people (especially former supporters) who don’t believe any of this shit anymore is skyrocketing.

Trying not to speculate while knowing exactly what everyone's speculation is.

huh.

Boycott the entire world in which people don’t have food, medicine or shelter and where this is even a thing.

Was under the assumption this was literally one of the ONLY things LLMs were actually good at. Biggest marketing sham in human history would not be an overstatement.

A single-day protest on May 1 is taking its cue from the massive day of action that shut down Minneapolis in January by asking Americans not to shop, work or go to school

Absolutely agree with this. It's the key.

When will Zohran Mamdani bring back mix tapes?

Not complicated.

We will never read these books, which will merely be chopped up carcasses of the carefully written books by the millions of human writers who AI steals from.

If we want to create a true representative democracy, the first order of business is the ending of the fascist party that created unfair rules to begin with. This also means we need Democrats to stop ever saying "bipartisanship" and start aiming to completely dismantle the GOP.

Salt Lake City has almost twice as many registered Dems as Republicans. But for decades, the districts have been drawn to each take a slice of the city and suburbs. Utah democrats have suffered for years without any representation in Congress despite controlling the state’s population center.

Large language models as a digital form of asbestos is actually a great analogy.
