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

She's not even actually Jewish?????????? Her mom was Episcopalian and she's gone to services 4-5 times total as an adult? Get the actual fuck out of here.

Watching all the signals the last few days, it's become clear that Trump doesn't want to make a decision regarding the Iran Crisis and, like COVID, would much rather deny the reality while pushing the consequences onto the rest of us. But the building pressure won't relent.

Trump created a crisis that could end the American Empire and destroy the global economy. Now he’s looking at a no-win situation and hoping someone or something will bail him out. This is what happens when you hand power to a monster like Trump. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-plot-i...

Hegseth was surprised by the scale of Iran’s retaliation, Time also reports. Before the war, he’d argued Iran would respond in a limited, controlled way based on past behavior. And you wonder why America is losing…

Trump, who seems incapable of reading, now gets his information on the Iran War via video clips first thing in the morning, Time reports. Problem? They’re curated by the military who only show him battlefield successes.

Araghchi: “Striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender. “It only conveys the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray. Every bridge and building will be built back stronger. What will never recover: damage to America's standing."

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

reminder that the number one issue that the press covered in 2016, the one they told voters was THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the election, was Hillary Clinton's compliance with Presidential Records Act record-keeping

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Eternal shame on every journalist, pundit, politician, and business leader who failed to denounce this man as a miserable racist when it could have stopped him and STILL fail to denounce him now. You suck and you failed us all.

“I can generalize” is Trump saying “I’m a fucken racist lalala” knowing that no national press outlet or pundit will say a goddamn thing about it.

The No Kings protests had over 8 million protestors. Zero deaths. 6 people shot with a BB gun by a Trump supporter. The last time MAGAts had a protest, 2000 people showed up, 138 police injured, 15 were hospitalized, some with severe injuries and 5 people died as a result. We are not the same.

Correct, and it's because everyone - all of society, across all generations- is completely addicted to them. And it's not like TV or any other electronic addiction, because you can take this one EVERYWHERE. You don't even have to hide it or feel ashamed, like you would with booze or dope.

So now there's a list?

I love that his whole thing is “I did it before I had a campaign.” Right, three months before you announced. Same with Janet. Meanwhile I was president of a women’s health center and championed their expansion to include services for trans folks in 2015 when I was 27. We’re not the same.

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

Sauer: "Eight billion people are one plane ride away from having US citizenship." Ah yes, yellow peril. Always a thing to throw out just for fun.

Wang hits him back with "that means that children of Irish, and ITALIAN immigrants would also not be a citizen." Alito is the son of Italian immigrants.

God damn the racism is so wild! And irrational. I know we know but sometimes it’s still breathtaking.

was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please

there is some tension between jamming your subpar AI into every single one of your products and your OS along with making once-in-generation investments into it while specifying in your terms and conditions that it’s a non-essential toy, tbh

www.microsoft.com/en-us/micros... is it good to build an entire economy and software infrastructure on this

Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano died in ICE custody on March 25 at Adelanto, CA. He is the 14th person to die in ICE detention in 2026. That's one death every 6 days holding with what I can only call morbid precision.

On the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels musical soundtrack Lithgow urges the listener to buy multiple tickets to the show at full price because he needs the money. I am only ever surprised when an actor actually does bite the hand that feeds them.

Happy trans day of visibility, here is a wrasse design I made awhile ago because all wrasses change sexes as they age.

We need the most theatrical show trials.

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

The US continues to deport people to Myanmar. Those deported likely will be detained I've met a few survivors of Junta detention, their stories are dark, the scars they carry are both physical & psychological No-one should go through what they have. Sending people back to Myanmar is unforgivable.

The degree to which the bluesky leadership does not understand the people who populate their service is extremely funny. Their AI tool is followed by 1,500 people but blocked by 125,000.

Republicans don’t actually believe in anything except self-aggrandizement. If tomorrow there was an opportunity to lord his degrees over others or insult workers (especially wrt minimum wage or unionization) he would do it without blinking.

Pete Hegseth’s Department of War seems to be especially interested in murdering girls. Just an observation.

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

What Trump has done is change the calculus so that those engaged in really big ticket fraud of public programs see a financial incentive to pay off parts of MAGA rather than pay restitution to victims. From a DOJ lawyer: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

Meanwhile I have trouble just scheduling a meeting with my PCP. We are not the same. I have a masters degree in public health. I’m a public health professor. You don’t have to worry about who I’m going to surround myself with bc I have my own educated, informed POV on healthcare in the US. /1

Think about it from the papers perspective. They know a real progressive Dem is gonna come for media owners to break up their bullshit, so they want you to vote for a guy who's gonna lose. Or at best a guy who is on their side.

I don't think they'll make it, but if you dopes pick Rahm or Newsom, you'll deserve everything you get. Both of those guys have oppo files longer than War & Peace and have more skeletons in their closet than a Spirit Halloween. Strategically it's stupid and the media wants you to pick a loser

This 50 yr old woman spent 5 months in jail accused of a crime in a state she's never even been to, because Clearview AI misidentified her as the suspect. A judge signed off on it, cops went along with it, no process in place to even question the AI. www.cnn.com/2026/03/29/u...

Responses from AI chatbots are 49% more likely to side with the authors of posts on Reddit’s Am I The Asshole (AITA) subreddit than the consensus of comments from other users. AI sycophancy will be an insidious problem over time as people get life advice that validates their terrible behavior.

Israel now openly murdering Lebanon’s journalists, just as they did in Gaza

Like this is a DREAM COME TRUE! Andrew used 3 telescopes, over multiple states… each doing something special, & it resulted in a whole ass harddrive of space data! We’re talking HUGE files… it made our computers smoke haha

Guys… if took us *months* of work. But here it is…. Andrew McCarthy photographed the area around the Pillars of Creation originally shot by Hubble… and he asked ME to edit it 🥹 Freaking oh my god look how it turned out!!! @ajamesmccarthy.bsky.social

Reminder: Kennedy fired people working on lead poisoning and smoking cessation, cut grants on diabetes and asthma and undermined those actually studying nutrition in NIH. If anything, his efforts will likely increase chronic diseases, at the same time he’s working to bring back preventable diseases.

2005 is when Secretary Kennedy wrote his first misleading antivaccine article. This is code for “that’s when I became antivaccine.” For Kennedy, it’s about fighting vaccines. He’s first and foremost an antivaccine activist. oracknows.blogspot.com/2005/06/salo... www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

The AP's story on the IOC's new policy mentions that it "also restricts" athletes like two-time Olympic gold medalist Caster Semenya. That word "also" is doing a lot of work. New piece on who this policy is actually about: www.readtpa.com/p/the-iocs-n...

This testing regimen does not comport with fundamental human rights principals. And I'm not even talking about trans athletes. Only women will be subjected to this. They didn't state who would pay for these tests that cost thousands of dollars. That is make or break for athletes from poor countries.
