People outside of NYC haven't understood just how much our airwaves for the last month have been filled by scaremongering and Islamophobia. It didn't work! Billionaires literally tried to buy this election and they lost

Extremism on both sides. Sad to see. bsky.app/profile/sara...

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

As the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program runs out of funds, right-wing figures have suggested food insecurity is an “illusion” and called program recipients “entitled”

When I say "presumptively illegal" I mean it literally: the 2023 merger guidelines set markers for structural presumptions, and a WB-Paramount tie-up would breach them. California AG Rob Bonta, up for re-election next year, has constituents who want him to stand up. prospect.org/2025/10/30/f...

From me: Trump is trying to bully Warner Bros. Discovery into accepting a merger bid from the MAGA-fied Paramount. There's a problem for him though: any state Attorney General can sue to block such a deal, which under current law is presumptively illegal. prospect.org/2025/10/30/f...

i once again would like to express some alarm and concern at the sheer pace of Nazi-related news updates

The regime's desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Not even close. They rely on bluster and memes to make up the difference. The threat is real, but less powerful than they say. Freedom-loving Americans outnumber them by a lot. Communities can resist. Like this one:

New: Google removed an ICE-spotting app after calling ICE agents a vulnerable group. A immigration support group on the ground in Chicago, the current focus of ICE, said they were using the app to source tips, called Red Dot. Apple removed that app too www.404media.co/google-calls...

Had to interview the man in the chicken suit. #lifeduringwartime

A New York Times investigation found that America's leading bank spent years supporting — and profiting from — Jeffrey Epstein, disregarding red flags, suspicious activity and concerned executives. nyti.ms/3JTgIkc

This is a great discussion. Get beyond the Subject Object discussion in the beginning if it bores you, @lunaoi.bsky.social and @noncompete.bsky.social help challenge “class essentialism” that many Western leftists get stuck in. Disabled people are working class, teachers are too, etc.

So CNN had Ben Shapiro on to participate in one of its round table news discussions. This is what capitulation looks like.

A problem with most academic AI guidance is it sets out "dos and don'ts" that are clear & simple enough as a list, but genAI in practice blurs and confuses the distinctions. Let's take a common permitted use case, brainstorming. A simple and direct prompt - yet ChatGPT's response is a full outline.

Altman bragged about GPT5’s PhD-level intelligence. It is so advanced it skipped straight to being that type of cynical tenured professor, phoning it in from a secure spot while resenting anyone who isn't disillusioned with life. That's impressive.

One can debate between music streaming platforms; Spotify is the worst imo. But what really annoys me are all the podcasts now advertising their work in Spotify as if their aren’t 100 ways to diffuse podcasts. There literally is no justifying that, podcasters. Sorry. share.google/8QTP4eriOoxd...

Plan budgétaire de Bayrou : pour le président de la Seine-Saint-Denis, «c’est le modèle social français qui est attaqué» Le socialiste Stéphane Troussel dénonce une stratégie «injuste», «inefficace» et «dangereuse pour la cohésion du pays». Interview ⬇️

I've waited to see the #TourdeFrance arrive in Paris many times, and even with a big rain storm, it was by far the best. Climbing Montmartre proved my favorite moment of the Olympics wasn't a fluke. It spread the crowds out, it was joyous, and it was a proper race! Sorry sprinters 👋 #TdF2025

So sad for him

Oh Remco 😿😿. #tourdeFrance #TDF2025

This year is the biggest time gap between 1 and 10 on GC after stage 13 since... well I only bothered to check back 10 years (stattos, knock yourselves out) but let's say, it's not been anything like this for a long while. Over 14 mins 🤯 In 2020 by contrast, it was only 2:54.

Remember that one crazy TT 3 years ago where L’Equipe accused JV for 1 off? Tadej has basically never had a bad day since then. He even crashed yesterday and today he obliterated everyone by more than 2 min. Sorry, it’s getting beyond simply boring to unbelievable dominance. #TourDeFrance #TDF2025

Had the chance to interview Ben Healy during the Tour de France rest day - he wore yellow during the training ride, and was mobbed by race fans at the cafe stop www.irishtimes.com/sport/cyclin...

Announcers today saying they’ve been questioning Visma’s tactics. I don’t disagree it’s been a lot of energy spent with no time gap, but I’m curious what people think their other option is? #tdf25

An Oregon man who quit his job at a tire company and liquidated his retirement savings to set sail for Hawaii with his cat reached his destination Saturday.

Unless @petebuttigieg.bsky.social has done soul searching, learned a new respect of his father’s incredible Gramsci work and how his old hero Bernie was right, I can’t see how he can provide anything different to the liberal status quo. If Dems win again, it needs as big reconstruction like vision

Social Darwinism and eugenics are back. This attitude defined the first Trump administration’s COVID response. It’s pervasive in the wellness space and on the political right. The MAHA merger was inevitable.

And just so we're all clear, Hasan himself makes it crystal clear: THis is not how you act when detained. He himself states that he was using the privilege of being a public figure, and the money that he's made, to find out just where these guys will take things. He was taking a risk.

Meet Link and Nova! Orphaned in the wild in November and brought to the zoo by WDFW, these cougar cubs are exploring their outdoor habitat and getting plenty of play time.

Your weekly reminder that autistic people, are in fact, people.

Rockalina was an adult eastern box turtle living in the wild when she was taken into a New York home in 1977. When a reptile rehabilitation center got a hold of her this February, they worried for her survival.

@emmavigeland.bsky.social @majorityreport.bsky.social @mattlech.bsky.social @mattbinder.bsky.social Have any of you discussed this on your shows? bsky.app/profile/jose...

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

Great to watch @hasanabirepeater.bsky.social’s examination of the incoherent hopium of Trump’s tariffs using this streamer as an avatar of this idiocy youtu.be/SonQ12eOfNo?...

The fight for "democracy" is meaningless if it doesn't acknowledge how it has to deliver material benefits & this is 100% where Dems fail. @samseder.bsky.social really nails this on @majorityreport.bsky.social responding to @jonfavs.bsky.social @podsaveamerica.crooked.com. youtu.be/C75Ub3ybgyQ?...

“We are in a house made of nothing built on a foundation of nothing, and eventually the grim reaper will walk in the door and see there’s nothing even there to kill, and the whole thing comes tumbling down.” ~Brace Belden don’t think i could have put it better tbh

you love to see it

We also have a guide to protecting yourself from government surveillance. Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

Amid growing concerns over Big Tech firms aligning with Trump administration policies, people are starting to move their digital lives to services based overseas. Here's what you need to know.

When you account for turnout, the recent shift of young people towards the Republicans is actually quite small

Shor's overblown claims about youth conservatism conveniently fails to note that youth turnout in 2024 dropped to 42%, compared to 50% in 2020

Came all the way to NYC to canvass for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social DSA difference from coast to coast!
