“Desk Set” never gets old and everyone should watch it for the Hepburn high necks with pushed up sleeves, amazing set design, late 50s AI and Nora Ephron’s parents as screenwriters. www.criterionchannel.com/office-roman...

I like it when Hamilton talks about how he sees workers. It's a beautiful thing, much like May Day and the labor movement and all the good things we can make together.

When you spent the entire night crashing into things and killing a mouse, which you have hidden somewhere in the apartment for mother to find.

I’ve had the privilege of being mentored and nurtured by Esther for more than 20 years and if there’s a silver lining to this story, it’s that more people will know her. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Santana aside, the left was down bad in the nineties man.

I am so sad to hear of Amisha’s passing. We met as very young organizers and it was a gift to grow alongside her over the years. May her memory be a blessing. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/04/28/c...

Everyone @emhilly.bsky.social has done it again. What a total delight, beautifully researched and, yes, there’s a playlist at the end. oxfordamerican.org/magazine/iss...

A minor thing I’m currently mad about is that this thing is only accessible to people who can pay membership fees instead of everyone. How dare they!! stylus.nyc

I had a severe respiratory infection last week and it didn’t sound this bad.

I did not know about this till right now and it has made my day.

We should absolutely let him cook. This is the funniest thing someone in power has done for years and no one's getting harmed but Vance

Hahaha wow.

I would like to add that there’s nothin’ wrong with hitting the airport outpost of the local delicacy that appeals to tourists on your way out of town.

I guess what I’m saying is great consumer products don’t make young people feel anger and despair the more they use them www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/s...

Hahaha

I also got a real person in Congresswoman Yvette Clark's office. Do these calls. They are important.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

This you, Microsoft?

“We're not supposed to have ‘peasants’ but there are tens of millions of them frying potatoes on Easter morning, cheap and delicious with catsup.” writersalmanac.publicradio.org/index.php%3F...

Fine to say you have a series of demands of the Congresswoman but this is simply not how restorative practice works! Use different words please, those ones mean things.

being able to sit patiently with other people's thoughts, sit patiently with your own, and make both of those processes legible to someone who is not you is very valuable. if you can find a new way to do this that is fantastic news but I suspect it will at least resemble the model we've inherited

hope you're all having a good friday, everyone

This is about an actual bird whose protected species status is getting in the way of a developer and it has made my day. Surprised she didn’t also call the bird a little slut.

Someone sent me this.

Happy April Fool’s Day to the person who told me a year ago to stop worrying about birthright citizenship and focus on immediate threats. I remember you! (This piece is good)

First we found out philosophy was invented in 1912. Now we find out Palantir made ontology cool.

One of the things I miss now that I live in NYC is that beautiful brutalist baby the DC Metro. Happy Birthday, we love you.

I would very much like to see the TOS and privacy policy on this app.

My favorite comment on the FT story

Leaf That Came Out Too Early Cold As Shit

i think it's smart that the Wikipedia page for Chips and Dip opens with a "Rationale" section. a lot of people are flabbergasted to find out about this concept and need some grounding before they get into the history

This is the story I’ve been hoping to read (in the worst way) about the ripple effects of DOGE and the specific intent of the project to target Black middle class women. hammerandhope.org/article/trum...

Afroman's lawsuit is actually important imho -- police agencies post pictures and video of people they arrest all the time (without convictions). But somehow police feels are more important? (Law Enforcement Baronial Class) www.wcpo.com/news/local-n...

This man never misses.

Philosophy famously wasn't invented until 1912.

David Oks notes here that ATMs didn't wipe out tellers, instead created a shifted emphasis on "relationship banking" which was more about tellers as sales people. But there's more to this. davidoks.blog/p/why-the-at...

A thought experiment we kept having is a couple of leftists sitting around in the 1920s and saying “Ford is an idiot!” and thinking the matter was settled. Structural power sadly is often aesthetically repellent, not surprising maybe.

In Wyoming they’re just naming the girls with whatever’s around.

Can this be a solution?

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

It takes a certain kind of…narcissistic nihilism to look across the country at people self-organizing against something that is generally a fairly good material symbol of the intangible class warfare that has alienated them and say, “what a silly distraction from what *really* matters.” And yet…

A valuable practice when encountering people who are doing something that doesn't quite make sense to you is to ask "hm, wonder what I'm not seeing" instead of asserting "you're doing it wrong." Incredible what there is to learn out there when you do that. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/o...

In this new report, @ksavin.bsky.social, and @calliefreitag.bsky.social and I explain how Trump 2.0 and DOGE built up new barriers to the already-difficult process of getting disability benefits. Let's talk about what we found, and what we recommend to address the issues. 🧵

There’s a pretty strong norm in the union world against publicly criticizing other union leaders but at some point I think it becomes necessary for labor movement leaders to start saying “Sean O’Brien sucks.” Otherwise this guy represents all unions in people’s minds thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Importantly they are planning to hire these people on 2 year contracts so what actually happened is they fired everyone so they could rehire them with worse working conditions and an easy revolving door with industry 🫩 🔭

I was testing AI stuff for work and asked for powerlifting diets (due to my hobbies). Most of the recommendations were ground meat and rice. I can’t figure out if this craze started with TikTok and shaped the AI or started with AI and shaped the TikTok posts.
