Stupidest times. We live in the stupidest of times.

Nayef Samaro, 25, was killed in an Israeli military raid on Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, as he prepared to meet his wife at the hospital for the birth of their first child. n.pr/4eyuu92

Les réseaux sociaux sont en émoi après deux interventions de la police dans le quartier populaire du nord de la métropole auvergnate. Leur objectif : démonter des piscines en plastique posées par des jeunes dans l’espace public pour permettre aux enfants de se rafraîchir.  Par Nicolas Cheviron

Une seule explication : la police incite les jeunes à se rafraîchir en “dégommant les bouches à incendie” pour nourrir les débats de CNews sur la “racaillisation” du pays tout en escamotant le dérèglement climatique et ses effets sur les populations vulnérables. www.telerama.fr/television/s...

Ceci n'est pas une simulation. Nous vivons dans une dystopie. Même à plus de 40 degrés, certains continuent à nous vendre comme solution ce qui conduit l’humanité dans le mur. C’est quand même incroyablement inquiétant.

It’s great how this administration has hired people to create explicitly white nationalist propaganda for them, and then simply mentioning this fact in a classroom can get you fired.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

Jeff Bezos went on TV to whine about Zohran Mamdani to stop demonizing billionaires. The very next day Mayor Mamdani responded by forcing Amazon to pay $9M in fines accrued by Amazon delivery trucks for illegally idling. This is what happens when we elect a mayor for the people—not the corporations

Pour rappel, ce programme de France TV a été classé "à gauche" par un institut d'extrême droite dans un rapport fait par IA qu'Alloncle n'a pas cessé de mobiliser pendant ses auditions.

Les détenus palestiniens en Israël sont exposés à la torture, aux violences sexuelles et aux mauvais traitements, dénonce une rapporteuse spéciale des Nations unies

NZ is part of the problem, though not in the Mediterranean specifically - mostly Malaysia and Thailand. We don't have the capability of recycling all of the plastic waste we produce so a lot of it gets shipped overseas. Which, btw, requires fuel.

I visit schools to support climate, nature and sustainability education. In the vast majority of settings, litter picking and recycling are first and foremost in their eco efforts. The reality is: 🛍️ Overconsumption is out of control ♻️ Recycling doesn't work 🗑️ Dropped litter outpaces picking it up.

When I began my second career, my mentor, Tom Fontana, explained to me that the writer, in every development meeting with a studio or director or actors, should be the worst-dressed, no-fucks-given person in the room. "That's how they know you can write," he explained.

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

OTD in 1985 “an edgy image captured on the streets of Växjö, Sweden in April 1985 during a demonstration by the Neo-Nazi Nordic Reich Party succeeded to imprint itself on the cultural consciousness.”

Viktor Orbán has been ousted—and efforts by Washington and Moscow to prop the autocratic leader up give his defeat implications that extend far beyond Hungary, @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social reports from Budapest. Read more: theatln.tc/KdGVkPGT

Six years after my joining The New Yorker’s storied fact-checking department, my career was reduced to a three-sentence e-mail. https://bit.ly/3NLT8Zc

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Breaking: Among members of the “dogs should bite strangers” club, support for dog-biting was driven less by canine liberty than by hostility toward strangers.

Nail him up, drag him down, toss him in a cave. If he rolls away the stone and drives off in a golf cart, I'll accept Donald Trump as Lord and Savior. But I'm still voting a straight Democratic ticket in November.

Israel's legislators chose dispassionately to turn their Apartheid State, formally, into a Genocidal State. Not only is Israel a state formally demoting Palestinians to second class status but also one free to hang them, and only them, legally. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w... x.com/yanisvaroufa...

Parce que le peuple palestinien a le droit d’obtenir justice, que l’avenir du droit international en dépend : la communauté internationale doit empêcher la torture et demander justice pour les crimes perpétrés par l’armée et ordonnés par le gouvernement israélien.

Friend, collaborator and early mentor, Eric Overmyer is too soon gone. Our shared love of New Orleans was the impetus to Treme and those years were the most fun you can have making TV. Indeed, he once playfully confided we had "stolen one back" from television. Graceful writer; warm, loving soul.

The same logic of ethnic cleansing used in Palestine is now being applied in Lebanon: Israel is deliberately targeting medical facilities in the south, say health workers. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Fun fact: plastic recycling basically doesn't exist. Only about 9% of all plastic ever made has been recycled, and only 1% more than once. www.npr.org/2022/10/24/1...

The Israeli military is among the most sophisticated in the world. If they are continuously killing children in Lebanon, it must be intentional. They are doing this for the same reason that they killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza: they are using genocide to seize as much land as possible.

I wrote something years ago. At the time it was an angry answer to the Second Gulf War. But it still applies to American misrule. Slim Charles > The entire Trump administration.

This is so tragic it's actually incredibly funny

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

Magical. Reminds me of one of my fav exchanges involving a Baltimore reporter and a Maryland politician: Scribe: "You said yesterday...." Governor Schaefer: "Read my lips, I never said it." Scribe: "Read my lips, I have it on tape." Governor: "Okay, I said it, but...." Hat tip to Doug Birch.

And 165 non-artificial schoolchildren were blown up by all this advanced and precise targeting. Congrats to everyone involved on achieving this brave new world.
