Honestly this should be the headline of every single sports section tomorrow

The only game the Knicks lost was the one that Trump attended, which seems appropriate.

It’s a lot more than this. But, also, it’s this. www.lawdork.com/p/kennedy-ce...

The world's first trillionaire did this

Remembering a multi-day conservative freakout because Lizzo briefly played a founding father’s flute

A colleague in CS once told me that Gen AI draws dicks everywhere because it’s been trained on so much stolen NSFW fanart. Going back and looking is quite funny because he’s totally right. It hides them in the little details as if it’s making the next little mermaid vhs box cover.

Trump hoping to mark his birthday by surrendering to Iran, debasing the White House, celebrating violence and vulgarity. At 80 at least he seems to know who he is.

Removing this villain's name from the Kennedy Center wall feels like a small victory and a proof point that these heinous American offenses can be undone — slowly, painstakingly, in time. Keep the faith, folks, and don't let these bastards grind you down.

Sorry to say this but the Iranian regime is spot on here. That's exactly what this is.

I have a friend who works here. It’s bad but most profs haven’t given up on teaching to the best of the abilities. Glad it’s getting more national pressure. The folks there deserve better than these neo-fascists.

Literally begging all my large account mutuals who aren’t in NYC and love boosting Mamdani publicity stunts to wake up and start spreading this message.

After all the time and resources the USA put into propaganda during the Cold War, this is something. My book is, in part, about how the USA spent so much time and resources trying to prove we had ‘good’ taste. Now we’re now just the parody of a capitalist hellscape the USSR claimed we were then.

This point can’t be stressed enough. Just as Musk bought Twitter to try to make himself seem popular, he bought Tesla to make himself seem smart. The only thing he’s actually invented is a mythology about himself

Him being a typical comic book villain in look, actions, and disposition is flooring.

Between this and his abandonment of trans children y’all gotta take off your rose colored glasses because we will never get him to move on any of this unless we’re standing up to him rather then kissing his feet and trying to get a selfie with him.

Obviously, this is great to see, but it isn’t a surprise. The fascists were able to go on their racist rampage not because their community broadly wanted it, but because a small minority called “police” allowed it.

The shit they make up is even weirder than you could imagine.

I do think the continual desecration of our public monuments and the use of our public spaces for private gain, (not to mention the lingering trauma of the assault on our democracy Jan 6 2021,) is a serious public harm that has to be reckoned with.

The hill I will die on: Women say "like," "um," and "err," so frequently, because when there is the slightest pause in their speech, they are interrupted by men, and don't get the floor back to speak.🤷🏿‍♂️ So people that are frequently interrupted tend to use more verbal fillers. Let women speak.

One of my parents had a stroke about a decade ago. Despite them having high cholesterol and a family history, they decided it was the flu vaccine they had had two weeks prior. This shit predates frump. You can imagine how they acted during covid 😑 The willful harm these people is beyond.

Also, this is a weird choice of guilding. Traditionally you put red under gold because it looks more rich; but they are putting yellow, which makes it look more fake (either way the gold leaf is real gold but the underpainting makes a huge difference in final visible hue).

That’s the perfect name for this time of oligarchs: “the Re-Gilded Age.”

I’m seeing Jürgen Habermas has died at the age of 96. His excoriation of crypto normative premises in the work of post-structuralists like Foucault will be a big part of his legacy.

i really, truly, find this offensive

New: I wrote about everyone intently watching the long process of removing Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center and how it revealed our insatiable thirst for accountability — and for his humiliation.

pics or it didn’t happen

Honestly, a pretty wild moment in American history. Can't believe this is happening to a sitting president who still has 2-1/2 years left in his term.

imagine drawing a crowd in the middle of the night to watch them remove your name from a building

Truly an unreal moment, as a crowd gathers at 10:30pm on a Friday night outside the Kennedy Center as a crew puts up scaffolding to take down Donald Trump’s name.

I just got official word that my promotion to full professor today! Y’all, spite (and lots of work) really will take you far. ✌🏼

If you click thru to YouTube, 46,632 are watching. Comments show absolute lunatics trying to win debates(?) with emojis. E.g.: person posts 7 Israel flags. Other person posts Israel flags with poop emojis. Another person keeps posting "Israel Crucified Our Lord". (Israel didn't exist then!)

He stood out from the TV pack with his bowties, bushy eyebrows and movie reviews studded with cheeky turns of phrase.

There should not be a single person hungry, without medical care, or homeless while there’s a trillionaire, and that this is the situation shows not only how profoundly broken government is, but also how profoundly broken Elon is.

So…this seems as though it’s about to happen. The REMOVAL of DJT’s name from the Kennedy Center.

A trillionaire isn’t a success story. it’s a policy failure.

Neo-Nazi and deadbeat dad…. Yup. Sounds about right.

Excellent satire. We’ll take it. Just add a line or two about Florsheim shoes and it’ll be good to go.

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

Fuck every company that has no real customer support. I shouldn’t have to tweet at you to talk to a person (youtube/gmail is so garbage).

A former student passed through town this week, and we met for breakfast. While so many of her friends are working in tech, she’s apprenticing with retired Bay Area lithographers and, drawing inspiration from Ruth Asawa, hosting an art school in her garage 🥰

Went on fb to check something (most places where I live only post there) and saw that another person I knew from hs is doing a colonial ‘mission’ trip to africa. These people just want to feel better about themselves. Meanwhile, they are enthusiastic frump supporters voting racist policies here. 😑

Northern Ireland, functionally, has no immigration. Net immigration last year was about 8000 people in a population of 2 million, and that was a record.

the end result of this is going to be two parties that don't care about electing nazis

fulfilling prophecy

I just want to point out that for all the furore this article will generate the entire roster is like 500 something ppl across 49 states. They're averaging like 10 ppl a state. There are more people than that waiting at the average pickleball court on thursday afternoon at your local rec centre

We are at a very weird moment in this country when nazism is a dealbreaker for neither party

My loves, please stay doing your business on Signal

My gf has roped a load of churches into getting their members to collect a load of food that can then be distributed to those who need it across Belfast. Many are afraid to leave their houses, even to get food. People have been delivering food to strangers since this started.
