For the cost of one Harvard Professor of the Constitution Only Applies to White People, you could endow 10 professorships of any less commonly taught language at any university in the USA

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.”

The fact that almost every site that’s bragged about vibe coding and the inevitability of AI is crashing like the stock market on a Black Friday

Absolutely dying at right-wing radio host Sid Rosenberg getting so angry that Mr. and Mrs. Met hugged @mayor.nyc.gov that he started calling them antisemites and became a Yankees fan.

One of the things that bothers me about "AI bad" posts/stories are how its 'going to take jobs' Maybe the problem is that we have to work to even survive in the 1st place? Maybe our basic needs should be provided (healthcare, UBI)?

Last month in The Onion:

Saluting Jackie Robinson each year is a good thing, but it’s not enough for MLB to merely celebrate Robinson breaking the color barrier. How about acknowledging the role of MLB and its owners in establishing/maintaining that racist policy? Apologies and penance would be appropriate and welcome.

How is TJ Maxx not getting in on "looksmaxxing," riding it hard for a fiscal quarter of advertising campaign, then walking away with the satisfaction of having murdered the trend.

The thing about Platner is that he'll screw up, make some statement, and it's supposed to be fine. Has he met with disabled folks in Maine? Met with advocacy groups? Understood the harm of the word and how the disabled are under attack? He never does the work required to be worthy of redemption.

looking forward to alito declaring that our grand colorblind constitution means that white voters can permanently gerrymander racial minorities out of political representation.

Chris Rufo lost that Orban money so he's back on the transphobia beat. The entire scandal he's trying to manufacture here is that people got healthcare, that's it.

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare. The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

White Sox have announced Sam Antonacci has arrived without announcing a roster move, as they continue to handle this situation very normally

Two hundred and fifty dollars. That's disgusting.

April 15th a HUGE day in Black history if you'd like to immerse yourself in something today. 1. It's Jackie Robinson Day 2. A. Phillip Randolph's birthday 3. Bessie Smith's birthday 4. Harold Washington's birthday. 5. Walter Edward Washington's birthday. 6. The day SNCC was born

ICE activity in Chicagoland has been on the rise with the temperature the last few weeks. These incidents don't have the spectacle that characterized Greg Bovino and Border Patrol's raids in the fall, but people are still being abducted by federal agents across the city and suburbs.

Two Chicago Police Department sergeants and four officers failed to properly investigate after a vehicle driven by a Chicago Fire Department employee struck and killed an individual, according to the city’s watchdog. https://to.wttw.com/4cdNMzl

I need to setup an alert for weird pivot to AI announcements so I can buy some stock and then sell it at EOD.

If you don’t believe we are in a bubble you are in denial

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

In 2003, US citizen Rachel Corrie was killed by Israeli soldiers using a US-provided bulldozer. Her parents are calling on senators to vote yes today to block $295 million worth of these bulldozers to Israel. Join them by calling your senators TODAY:

JD Vance is the kind of person to explain the Matrix to Lana and Lilly Wachowski without any irony whatsoever

The Bulls are getting another first-round pick after the Blazers edged out the Suns in the play-in for a playoff spot in the West.

I can't believe Deni Avdija is this good at basketball now.

I have never been in this room when it was not sold out. For actual money. To watch women's athletics. This pic is hilarious and whoever told him Athens would be a pleasant place for him to go did a wonderful job.

Disturbing the peace in Illinois is a felony if you do it with two or more other people. It's called "mob action." Possession of less than 5 grams of methamphetamine is a felony in Illinois. Possession of a blank prescription form is a felony in Illinois. "Felony" is way broader than you think.

Clavicular is a 20 year old child and famous for no good reason, not due to any particular celebration-worthy talent. He is a victim of a form of mental illness that is exacerbated by attention. However, if I come up with a good joke about him, I will post it.

incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope

literally astronomical to me that any humans would rather outsource their thinking to robots before their manual labor and yet

That's going to be the last fastball Murakami sees for a while.

Just a reminder that JD Vance has been a Catholic for less time than Nacho Fries have been on the Taco Bell menu.

JD about to pin 95 posts about how the pope is wrong to his twitter profile.

Also, sorrysorrysorry, JD Vance said, “If you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth,” TO THE POPE?! THE CATHOLIC POPE?! THE VICAR?! OF CHRIST?! IF YOU ARE GOING TO OPINE ON MATTERS OF THEOLOGY?! Excuse me. As you were.

Friends, that is not a real Karoline Leavitt quote

I'm at the deli. I'm at the central intelligence agency. I'm at the combination deli & cental intelligence agency.

This story is horrific. Worth noting that Target is not the only retailer using AI for theft prevention. It’s an entire industry. And if you’re looking for alternatives that are safer to shop at in this regard, you’re very likely out of luck. Small, non-corporate businesses probably your best bet.

I imagine that it's times like these when Trump will think to himself, "Wait, you guys actually believe in this stuff?"

I... yes.

ICE agent tells the New York Times they were nervous showing up in Minneapolis and how they travelled with “girly suitcases” to not be detected. A Senior ICE official details how officers would block in and kidnap United State Citizens. Gift link in next post.

No daycare, just wars.

We are in a death spiral of state violence locally, nationally, internally and externally.

“Say no to bribes and extortion” feels like a sensible first principle for a democracy.
