We have learned that one of the women taken on Alvarado and 8th is Sabrina Medina, a pregnant U.S. Citizen expecting twins from Huntington Park, whom Kristi Noem targeted and was present last month for a photo op.

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Bill C-5 is a disgrace that continues Canada’s colonialist tradition of ignoring and erasing Indigenous peoples, cultures, rights and title.

People who are fed easy (but not great) solutions to their problems tend to get lazy. People who get intellectually lazy (like chatgpt users) are not exercising their brains. ChatGPT users get stupider. In the end it's those of us who won't use AI who will get the shit done.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

Kneecap kicks ass. Language revitalization is an important component of the changes our society needs to embrace to escape the death spiral. We lose important perspectives when we lose languages. Whether it be Gaelic or Kwak’wala. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

Important for US activists to understand that laws cannot protect you. Armed soldiers are on the steets. They are violently arresting judges and mayors and US Senators. They are kidnapping people from churches, elementary schools, and hospitals. Your only protection today is anonymity, opsec,

United States letter to PSL (party for socialism and liberation)

it appears to be official that for the first time in decades the president has federalized national guard troops and is sending them in to Los Angeles this evening. This is the statement from the White House It’s about to get very, very scary now. Be safe y’all. Fight for one another.

Today while covering the Paramount ICE stand off an ICE vehicle rammed a barricade and then into a crowd of protesters. The feeling that consumed was the same that I felt watching the towers fall on 9/11. I vomited. My hands sweated. I felt like my bp dropped through the floor. I broke crying.

My god god have mercy on our souls ICE went at full speed ramming the crowd

So much this

Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza

Boycott Microsoft every way you can

The old adage, “If the product is free, then *you* are the product,” is certainly apt here. But in this case, the product isn’t just you but, in particular, *your stupidity.* We should all be asking why the stupidity of millions of students is so valuable, and to whom.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

As a pencil-head, these are some pretty cool pencils.

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

Well that's it, I'm not using ChatGPT anymore — they fuckin' sold out It used to be about the *plagiarism*, man They forgot their roots

Again… There’s nothing “natural” about inequality.

Because I can’t stop with post apocalyptic stories… “The machine can go on, whether or not the world has ended. Why? Because, from the beginning, capitalist expansion depended not on meeting needs but on expanding production.”

… I could never replicate Delacroix or Rubens exactly—and that was fine. It became more about orchestrating a team, like conducting a symphony, where every element works in harmony.” news.artnet.com/art-world/ke...

Who knew the Crab Museum would be a must see tourist stop for people traveling to the UK this year.

On a hike today, my friend commented on how easily we've all incorporated "disappear" into our vocabulary as a passive verb. That led me down a rabbit hole to confirm that we did borrow it from the Spanish desaparecidos, referring to suppression of dissidents www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2013/08...

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

When I was a kid, my mom had to tell my grandparents to stop fantasizing about the rapture because I (at 5) was packed and ready to have no future. Now I have no patience for these chuckleheads.
