Lucky California. I think the Kars 4 Kids ad should be banned under federal prohibitions against torture, but if misleading advertising does the trick, sure, let's go with that. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/u...

hey graduates, good job on the four years you spent learning how to learn and think among a community of learners and thinkers. the most exciting news i can think to tell you is that your learning and thinking will soon be replaced by feeding little prompts to an AI. ok now why are you booing me

Texas limits eligibility for Medicaid to families living below 15 percent of the poverty level, meaning that a family of three earning more than—get this—$4,098 annually is not eligible for any benefits. trib.al/xIxx6h8

Great.

There isn’t much left to say except that your children will be less well-rounded than you. Less well-read than you. Less intelligent than you. Less able to problem solve than you. Leas worldly than you. Less empathetic. Less equipped. And more helpless. For the first time in living history.

Pick a Bond from photos you already have in your phone.

oh my god let's fucking go

Nary a peep of protest from the MAHA crowd. The annual budget of WIC costs less than a week of the Iran war.

A #painting from some time ago. "Sleeping Cat" was painted when I shared a home with some funky people and a tender cat. It prompted me to look at cats a lot more, which - in fairness to the cats - they never cared about. #Art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear #Caturday

Then there is what happened just last night on California's grid with the arrival of the extra SunZia wind power. Those natural gas plants that wait poised to surge at sunset ... just weren't needed. 1.5 GW of gas during the day to be ready went to 1 GW at sunset with 9 GW of batteries. Amazing.

He needs to be beaten within an inch of his life by a white guy.

Now I'm certain we're all gonna die.

Surely they've suffered enough?

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.

Spent 3 days at a lovely Opal hotel/resort. Filled out the post-stay survey w/a comment abt two staff. They emailed back an AI-written summary of my survey responses, including one they got wrong. Well, I hope the guy at The Sagamore who fished my earring out of the drain gets recognition anyway.

All Those A.I. Note Takers? They’re Making Lawyers Very Nervous. A trendy productivity hack, A.I. note takers are capturing every joke and offhand comment in many meetings. They could also potentially waive attorney-client privilege. Paywall Free ⏵

would be a mistake to think of this and the other Memphis-related news item as completely separate stories

NYT: The Pentagon released what it called “new, never-before-seen” files on U.F.O.s on Friday, hailing the step as an example of the commitment of the department, which kicked out reporters earlier this year, to transparency. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/u...

If a screwdriver can only remove 60% of screws its head is designed to fit, that screwdriver is unreliable & unfit for purpose. If a faucet only produces water 60% of the time, it is unreliable & unfit for purpose. If a vacuum only powers on 60% of the time, it is unreliable & unfit for purpose.

Gas is expensive and rising. Health care is beyond reach. But: Billion dollar ballroom. $400 million overhaul of gifted plane from Qatar. Black granite.

Bryant Rousseau, named in this story as the NYT editor whose work history matches the anonymous coward in the complaint, is selling AI-generated art and music on his website. The copyright watermarks on work he didn’t do — with fake NYT quotes! — is just chef’s kiss narcissistic entitlement.

So, shouldn’t blow up boats, shouldn’t murder your own citizens. Got it.

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

"Out of all the gazillions of word patterns you scraped from gazillions of sources, only give me the word patterns that you verified are 100% true and accurate, so help you God."

I think Donald Trump should use the profits he has illegally secreted away in Qatar from the Venezuelan oil he stole & sold to fully rebuild the East Wing exactly as it was. He destroyed a piece of The People's House as if he is the owner. 1/2

So now it's "the gunman fired. We know this for sure. Hit an agent. We can't find all the shotgun pellets, but you can trust us." Golly #DrunkJudgeJeanine ...could you demonstrate the same enthusiasm towards bring the Epstein abusers to justice?

Hey so if you’re a man with an XX partner or child that you care about, I need you to read this thread because shit is not going to change unless cis men start not being okay with this stuff.

Do you like dogs? Of course you do. And what's another thing everybody loves? Subscription models! So we bring you: subscription model dogs. No, they aren't real, and if you stop paying us, they break. Isn't that wonderful? I love being a rich oligarch tech bro living in the future!!

Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.

This story was broken by The Cornell Sun, which @nytimes.com nowhere cites. As a former editor-in-chief of The Sun — and in the name of brave, amazing college newspapers everywhere — do not treat student journalists as truffle pigs, taking what they've sniffed out without credit or compensation.

IS THIS ANYTHING

The Jetsons lied to us

I’m gifting this to all of you because this MUST BE TOLD. Trump is bulldozing Native American History. Satellite imagery reveals bulldozer marks running through about a third of the enormous fish etching inside the wild preserve that is over 1,000 yrs old! 🎁🔗 wapo.st/4eHD0TF

Three incredible things from this story: 1) the first words are “A 3-year-old hunter” 2) the “mentor” was exempt from “hunter education certification” bc of their “military training.” 3) the adult shot in the turkey hunt was an off-duty law enforcement officer.

I did a write-up of the recent farm bill passed by the House, as well as the floor votes leading up to its passage. It locks in deep cuts to SNAP and overturns state animal welfare laws. jonathancohn.medium.com/the-houses-n...

New motion filed by the Sandy Hook families shows Alex Jones's little video outside of his studio claiming he was locked out by the state-appointed receiver isn't even true. Still banging the fake persecution drum even as he moves around his assets.

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house
