Job search update: Most awkward interview EVER with a startup called Observe www.observeinc.com They dropped the interview short, didn't continue with the whiteboard challenge and left me hanging on the call like a fool for 5 minutes until they sent a cryptic email saying they were not interested.

it's wild to me that we have a letter from 850+ rabbis denouncing zohran mamdani for things he never said and positions he never took while no such letter has been written condemning stephen miller for claiming to "defend jewish values" while being an utter fucking nazi and dismantling our democracy

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

Since tomorrow (August 12) is World Elephant Day, take some time to read this big, beautiful essay written by my brilliant wife back in 2013. It's a truly extraordinary achievement. www.doelephantshavesouls.com

@cortezmasto.senate.gov & @senjackyrosen.govpeeps.us, do you regret voting with Republicans to spike the highly qualified judicial nominee Judge Mangi, a Muslim American nominated by Biden who was subjected to a racist smear campaign? Let us all know, please. This is why we have Emil Bove.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

"First he goes broke, then he gets the taxpayers to bail him out, then he comes on like Captain Capitalism like he's running for fucking president. Him and that guy Donald Trump. Fucking guys feed at the public trough, and when they get rich from it, they turn into Republicans." #Trump #Capitalism

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

Amazing - we need to work our asses off to save the other creatures on this #planet #animals #nature 121clicks.com/inspirations...

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

Unbelievable what the @nytimes.com says about Trump's insanity. Boot lickers! And I KEEP unsubscribing but they keep emailing me, joy.

Someone (maybe me we'll see!) really needs to make a screenplay of this novel. Incredible. So funny. So sweetly, perfectly sad in the end. Thanks to @mcnallyeditions.bsky.social for bringing this and other great novels back to life! (Lord Jim at Home being another recent amazing one!)

I don’t think people understand how devastating the end of net neutrality, and consumer protections around internet connectivity, are going to be. Imagine the situation where you pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services, each with different “exclusives” — but for the Internet itself.

Unbelievable

I mean, we all know they are sorta fixed, right? sfstandard.com/2024/12/20/p...

It’s pretty extraordinary how you can turn the entire government over to billionaires and get called “populist” just because you resent scientists and integrated schools.

The Montana Supreme Court’s decision protecting the right to a stable climate isn’t just a symbolic victory—it’s a real, enforceable check on the state’s ability to authorize more greenhouse gas emissions. With @dahlialithwick.bsky.social: slate.com/news-and-pol...

We had a #cat in the attic for days. Bought a cage to humanely get him out. But then two hours later we found he had escaped through heavy cardboard. Cats are cray whoah. Anyway, prepping for the cat purge bow. #purge #zombies #crazycat

Sometimes I go down an #Oscars rabbit hole and I still can't believe Ellen Burstyn lost for "Requiem for a Dream" - what an incredible performance.

Amen!

This will be used as a pretext for all kinds of security theater. Always ask: who benefits from increased police & military & militarized police?

Elon Musk isn’t the only self-serving billionaire nominated by Trump. Here's just 3 more corporate shills ready to sell out Americans: 1️⃣ Treasury: Scott Bessent, hedge fund CEO 2️⃣ Commerce: Howard Lutnick, billionaire CEO 3️⃣ Energy: Chris Wright, Liberty Oilfield Services CEO

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
