I do think, on a fundamental level they don't want to examine, many people are still unlearning both individual and societal Christian messaging that anything whose primary function is making things easier or more comfortable is a moral weakness, and it's more virtuous to soldier on through

When people say "bluesky elders" this is what I picture:

"There’s the famous saying that when you’re a carpenter, every problem looks like a nail. I guess when a rising politician centers her brand on her time as a Navy helicopter pilot, every crisis starts to look like Iraq."

Countless vast and shapeless trunks Their bulk protruding above the desert bare And upon the tallest, wretched spire A withered epitaph “despair”

Wired asked Steve Rosenbaum how he felt about AI detection software claiming more than 50% of his book was AI-generated and he said, “I don’t participate in that conversation. It’s like saying, do you beat your wife? It’s one of those accusations that there’s no response to.”

The author who published a book about truth and AI that was embarrassingly revealed to have included AI-hallucinated quotes told @wired.com that he'd rather quit writing than quit using AI.

As someone I know just said, this is the NJ AG (with a repost by Sherrill) pulling a George W Bush and declaring “Mission Accomplished” at Delaney Hall. Meanwhile, people are still on a hunger and labor strike, protestors were utterly brutalized, and now there is no free speech protest against ICE.

Yup. www.nj.com/opinion/2026...

the framing about 401ks is a little weird but the actual story is more interesting: Musk is somehow getting the not-yet IPO’ed SpaceX stock forced into the indexes so that if you hold an index fund, you hold SpaceX, which would be fine if SpaceX was qualified for inclusion, but it does not.

A year ago, the Trump administration withdrew from a global effort to curb offshore tax-dodging by multinational companies. That decision has been a huge gift to corporate America, enabling companies to avoid at least $40 billion in income taxes since the beginning of 2025.

I like that Chris Pratt is the default photo for this and we all agree with it even though there are theoretically a million celebrities to choose from

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

New rule, if you're a "how is diversity our strength???" dipshit you are not allowed to root for the team whose star player is an agnostic biracial frenchman representing a majority hispanic city bsky.app/profile/eric...

Thread below, but, as to what the administration has actually done, there has been nothing besides DOJ saying, "We're continuing to follow a temporary court order blocking us from implementing the fund." There may be more coming, but this is not that.

AP photog: Broken knee from NJSP rush Reuters photog: Sliced open fingers from ICE baton EPA photog: Deliberately maced in ear (wearing a respirator) Countless indies: Maced, shoved, shot at Visual journalist: Still held in jail +14 hours after being detained

If this is true — if it only took a judge demanding briefing and some light pushback — then it really shows how contemptibly cultish and cowardly the GOP was when most of them were fine with it.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

For those talking about the lack of food in ICE facilities, you should know that jails and prisons regularly starve people to death. This is not a rare occurrance. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Uh guys. Uhhhh. Uhhh oh my god. Holy shit

Apparently, billionaire influence is only bad when it's the other billionaire. Tom Steyer has spent more than $200 million trying to become governor of California, nearly three times more than all of his opponents combined. I wrote about why that should scare Democrats more than anyone.

hands you some guys

Racial profiling, including of US citizens, in Kavanaugh Immigration Stops is now routine. As in the time of legalized slavery, one racialized group, regardless of immigration status, bears the brunt of the full force of the federal government's resources in punitive immigration enforcement.

For the past 30-40 years, society sold us the lie that you could just "individual responsibility" your way out of having to do politics. But politics is just decisions about how we organize society, and "not doing politics" is the same thing as giving up your voice.

Scandal coming out of the Dept of State in Italy. The US consulate was being refurbished using workforce hired in Kenya and other African countries, with workers paid just 1.555 euros/hr. amp.milanotoday.it/dossier/soci...

Re-upping from 2020. Seems relevant right now given Delaney Hall.

This was right before they arrested peaceful protestors en masse.

Yep. I switched the default search in my browsers to DuckDuckGo for a reason.

Watch this. The lying, craven Mikie Sherrill is going to be recalled in NJ. It’s going to take more than a million signatures to do it, but when I tell you people are FURIOUS at her fascist betrayal, this is just a taste.

This is gaslighting propaganda from a state administration defending a concentration camp by arresting protestors and press.

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

The notion Trump has "perfect" health is an obvious lie to anyone with two eyes and basic sense. And yet, he pushes it because MAGA eats it up. It's not just that theyr'e stupid. (Though there is that.) It's because they need to believe he's a god. www.salon.com/2026/06/01/w...

This atrocity is perpetrated at the direct orders of Governor Mikie Sherrill, who has repeated segregationist talking points to justify her orders. By defending the American Gestapo, she has betrayed her voters. We must do more than Abolish ICE; we must prosecute collaborators like her & the NJSP.

oh thank goodness they put two separate adult content labels to hide this incredibly nsfw pizza

Shocked by the number of people who fall for this one. “Feminists and misogynists are the same because they are both dissatisfied with gender relations.”

As requested, here are day old ducklings jumping off a ledge onto a lake set to "Ride of The Valkyries" 🐣 🪶

I always wondered when the cops would get around to declaring that coming to a protest in makeshift armor was a crime in itself. And the answer (as we’ve always know ) is “when leftists and liberals do it.”

“those with power in society are deeply intolerant of any space in which exceptions are possible, in which something could happen” newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

105 yrs ago tonight and tomorrow, an organized and resentful White mob raged through the African-American neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma—known as “Black Wall Street” for its wealth—burning and looting 35 city blocks, massacring up to 300 African-Americans, and leaving 10,000 homeless.

Man I swear people are so desperate for hope they'll buy into an ex CIA suddenly finding a conscience lol

Out now from comrades at the Sussex Visibility Brigade, who have been on the ground at Delaney Hall from the beginning, is this scathing piece about how Mikie Sherrill has betrayed the very people we’re fighting for. Protests begin today at her home and office. open.substack.com/pub/sussexvi...

Tomorrow, Mikie Sherrill will frame what happened tonight as a total victory. She will claim victory in defending a concentration camp from peaceful protestors. She will claim she did it for the people inside, and she will be fucking lying.
