Truth, and I can't believe anyone still does not see it.

I am beginning to develop a suspicion of national decline based in elevating STEM nerds to dangerously high social positions, because their tendency to believe that "anything that cannot be properly measured should not be argued for" is being more revealed by the day as an inherently reactionary one

The lack of empirical evidence in the “anti-conservative bias in higher education” panic is really striking. We’ve had more than a decade of elite consternation about this so-called crisis based on a handful of anecdotes.

"Look what They took from You" politics, based on an imagined fantasy of the past, is really unhealthy for a country.

That he has this job at all is proof that world is a horrible place

Things That Matter to Nazis www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I still want to discuss what the fuck is being communicated with this design—the photo, the colors, it’s all just… no words

For something called “things that matter” they sure love debating far-right fringe ideas like “should women be second class citizens” and “should we indoctrinate the country into religious conservatism”. Those are are not serious questions. No one needs to ask them. They don’t matter.

@bankofamerica.bsky.social idk maybe you should just let chia pet sponsor.

The only way to possibly save this is for Plank to go on stage and say "Has feminism failed women? Of fucking course not. That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Fuck you, Allie. Fuck you, Bari. And double fuck you, Bank of America."

Hahaha

Not a day has gone by in this past year that I haven’t marveled at the uncanny prescience of @shteyngart.bsky.social’s Super Sad True Love Story, but I have to say war with Venezuela was not among the plot points I’d actually see come true.

Home Depot is providing us with yet another reason to never shop at Home Depot. Lowes invests in the local community and works with a wide variety of social support groups. Home Depot's top execs and shareholders, in contrast, dump millions into Trump's campaigns and actively support ICE.

patriarchy is just rot

This is 100% the problem

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

Just really awesome how our financial elite just spent the last several decades admonishing people for pursing the humanities and creative fields, and are now suddenly pedaling the idea that "there are no good ideas anymore" after spending the last 5 years laying off everybody with a brain

And the NYT has to publish an article about it

Can everyone he’s ever called garbage sue him for defamation? Where are the class action law suits?

Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

Somebody say something hopeful, please

The weirdness of billionaires purchasing celebrity status and cosplaying stars is so weird. Bezos out there like he’s George Clooney— nobody wants to see you, dude. You are not loved.

@governor.ca.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Mayte I’m missing it but it seems you could addressthe kidnappings taking place in LA a lot more. Do you have no authority at all to rid us of these brownshirts? Is there a manager we can speak to? Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Got to take the good news where we can. Zohran Mamdani appears to pull ahead of Andrew Cuomo, according to new poll

This subhed wow wow wow

Many of us have been writing for years now how this administration is made up of liars who have no problems lying on the record and on background. I hope editors keep this in mind as they consciously/subconsciously parrot talking points from officials—both on the record and anonymous sourcing.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

Incredible piece that every NYer should read

When people support Andrew Cuomo, what they’re saying implicitly is that they don’t care about the women he’s already sexually harassed and retaliated against and they won’t care if he does it again. It’s a political stance that enables discrimination against women in government

stating the obvious but its so fundamentally insulting to women/survivors everywhere for Andrew Cuomo to have the nerve to run at all let alone be a frontrunner. It would be less insulting &demeaning to just spit in our faces. Every supporter/endorser of his is a gross misogynist

This so nice www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/u...

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

I keep thinking about Juan David Ortiz, who was an agent and a serial killer and how little DHS did to protect his victims www.usatoday.com/story/news/i...

A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it. Every day, Leader announces his plans to boil the frog. His campaign slogan was “BOIL THAT FROG.” He has already made at least one run on the stove. A man stirs the pot with a large stick. “It’s a metaphor,” he says.

Definitely share this timely video about the Temu Goebbels Ethnic Cleansing Road Show... 📺 bsky.app/profile/thej... A refresher of some of the other activities by the sleazy, amoral Republican Member of Congress from the @progressaf3.bsky.social series... MORE ⬇️

Make this go viral.

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

Fucking LAPD

just please remember, whatever the news says about LA after this, that this is *always* how it goes. Everything is extremely calm until the police actively escalate for no reason. It was true during all the BLM protests and it’s true now.

I guess it was a slow news day on Fox and they wanted to generate some content?

This is a real problem

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.
