This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

Fashion tip of the day: To deal with clothes moths, fill your wardrobe with thousands of tiny spiders, the moth's natural predator. To deal with the spiders, fill your wardrobe with scorpions. To deal with the scorpions, fill your closet with RFK Jr. This way, you avoid harmful chemicals.

the tech world has genuinely not grappled with how many people despise them and what they make

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

AI is the most broadly hated thing in the last century, polling supports this. Anyone who doesn't realize it, is in an echo chamber.

Surely, there has been no other time in the history of this country when its politics was so overflowing with idiots.

bluesky banning the bot that tracks what accounts are banned is probably the most bluesky thing bluesky has ever done this is their final form

By 4 p.m., the NAACP filed in Davidson County Chancery Court for an emergency injuction against the maps. A link to the full filing has been added to our story.

What I wish for everybody to remember when Canvas comes back online: The reason OUR data can be held for ransom is because Instructure, their owners (KKR private equity & Dragoneer venture capital), & our own employers (see ASU Atomic) monetize it. It's Canvas that hacked education & stole our IP.

Every CFO at every Canvas institution should put a stop payment on the next SaaS withdrawal. Things do not get better from here.

"The Government cannot escape liability for DOGE’s work by scapegoating ChatGPT." A US judge slammed DOGE's use of AI in a decision today blocking the termination of $100M in humanities grants, finding DOGE lacked authority and unlawfully based decisions on race and viewpoint buff.ly/Qw0qcDH

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

again the original meaning of "meme" as Dawkins conceived it is useful here. people are killing their babies because their minds got "infected" by convincing-sounding bullshit that spreads easily from person to person www.propublica.org/article/more...

a critical difference between woke 1 and woke 2 is the understanding that woo is something to be fought tooth and nail

Incoming Hungarian PM Peter Magyar is setting a good rhetorical example for what to do with former regime insiders who benefited from Fidesz corruption:

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.

Obama: "What I'm more interested in for Democrats is, do you know how to just talk to regular people like we're not in a college seminar? Can you talk in plain English to folks? And not have a bunch of gobbledygook around it. Just talk like normal people talk. 'The rent is too high.'"

i'm seeing a lot of people disagreeing with this, even those whose politics are closer to mine than i am to Obama. i've said the same thing in left-wing spaces. it's important to note here that obama isn't "punching left," as people are accusing him. he's taking the side of Mamdani!

Anyway, my new band is called Unkillable Fung

the GOP are in official electoral doomsday which is why they are going to make more attempts at interference in the upcoming election. Expect more redistricting attempts. More bullshit on who can vote and how. They only have one option left and it's the big red button that reads "FREAK THE FUCK OUT"

Ted Lieu: "I have a red line in determining which Democrat I will support for President That person must commit to removing the stain of Trump's name from every single federal building, & kick it off with a grand public ceremony w/ fireworks – you think I'm kidding, i'm not kidding"

Increasingly, these pressers seem like an opportunity for Trump to get information from the media about what is happening outside of his bubble, not the opposite.

DO NOT EVER FORGET THIS! Thiel knew he could weaponize his identity & that credulous media would go along with it. IA few years later they would expand from killing Gawker to Clubhouse rooms about how to kill the NYT: youtu.be/IWdST5J2_p0?... (thx @anamariecox.bsky.social + @mike-eagle.bsky.social!)

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

He literally said Obama was Kenyan and the msm pretends it never happened (so do the Dems)

Your periodic reminder that if you ask "frontier models" questions about something you actually know something about, you'll quickly realize that they're completely full of shit.

CBS didn’t air some particularly troubling rants, which depict a man who is much more petulant and incoherent than the broadcast would suggest. Read the entire transcript in full here: trib.al/mVertTn

A women using the pen name “Martha Root” hacked a global Nazi racist dating website. She posted the data she collected under OKstupid.lol website, & hacked & deleted the original Nazi racist website.

Nature did not design mankind to stare at screens indoors all day. We are made to struggle for the bounty of the earth. To follow the herds north and kill for our meat. To make love in cold nights as we ponder the stars. Luckily we rebelled against nature. That would suck. Screens are way better.

He hates comedy because it speaks truth to power & a malignant narcissist can't handle that. Period. End of story. With many thanks to: @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @latenightseth.bsky.social @thedailyshow.com 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

This is from right wing "journalist" Jack Posobiec who has access to the White House. He clearly called for murdering President Biden in 2021. Why wasn't he charged by Trump's DOJ for doing exactly what James Comey did?

Just to put it all in one place 1. Posted a picture of Biden hogtied. 2 Mocked Paul Pelosi 3. Said he was glad Mueller died 4. Threatened the entire Iranian civilisation with being wiped out 5. Fomented an actual coup with extreme violence 6. Is a rapist But the left should tone down the rhetoric

1. Peter Thiel is pouring millions into a dystopian new start-up that seeks to discredit journalists reporting on wealthy people with a combination of retired intelligence operatives and a "jury" of AI models The company is even trying to pressure reporters to turn over the IDs of anonymous sources

Defense attorneys Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam appealed to the all-white jury to summon its "Anglo-Saxon courage" to acquit the defendants in the Emmett Till murder trial. Word for word.

"The math only adds up if you're trying to build a police state." Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, tells Rachel Maddow that the system of immigration prisons that Donald Trump wants to assemble is much bigger than the stated purpose of the prisons; unless Trump has some other use in mind.

lol House Republican leadership just cancelled all votes for the day

There is no equivalent on the Democratic side for the pure, undiluted nihilism coming from the federal government right now. We basically have one party of technocrats and one party of Branch Davidians.

This isn't satire, this is just the correct answer to my Ecological Climatology final

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
