i dunno, maybe he's the first 22 year old in human history who isn't an overconfident idiot. i don't know him

“We think it's completely possible that with enough early imaging in the future, the world could avoid 30% of all deaths and 50% of all healthcare costs,’ the company added.” 🙄

A 22-year-old just got a $30 million investment valuing his new futures exchange at $300 million. He graduated Stanford, wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review, interned at Andreessen Horowitz. His mom? Pro-crypto Sen. Gillibrand, D-NY. Bipartisan capture in full bloom. fortune.com/2026/06/18/t...

Yeah, the fact that there is no rival coalition drafting up another viable plan is kind of the problem we’ve all been screaming about, Hillary.

just incredible. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

I wonder what people who are still litigating 2016 have to say.

(as the world disintegrates) Haha pretty good man how bout you

honest to god i clicked thru to see who wrote this and dropped my phone in the sink from laughing so hard

the snake oil business is lucrative

If Waffle House doesn’t make this their new slogan, then capitalism has failed

at last, a worthy target for all the lawyers who tried to bankrupt every teen with kazaa installed circa 2002

Only 16% of Americans believe AI will have a positive impact on society

One of the central conditions for the referral of prosecutions to the International Criminal Court is whether there's a reasonable expectation that the country with jurisdiction is capable of delivering justice. I'd argue that the US under Trump is plainly not.

*mariah carey voice* it's time

i know it's the wrong team but @screamerjim.bsky.social was the first thing i thought of upon seeing this picture of sad joe zawinul from the december 1986 issue of downbeat

Eventually we will need political leaders that explicitly say US empire and interference is the core problem and must be reigned in and dismantled; until then you are just arguing for who will be better at imperial middle manager in elections.

In the same interview she praised Trump's plan for permanent Israeli control over Gaza lol

this may well be the defining joke of our era theonion.com/guy-who-suck...

people make fun of Sun Tzu for being not terribly profound stuff like "do not needlessly anger your allies before you need them" but you do kinda gotta hand it to the guy, White House would have been well served with someone who knew those things

this line from a fast company story about ai influencers has really fucked me up

Josh Barro shouldn’t have a job but his dad is an economist who got him into Harvard so we all have to pretend he’s not a huge fucking idiot

A cool thing about most major social media sites now hiding their posts unless you log in is that lots of actual important things use them as their only means of communication

This is just straightforward white nationalist great replacement rhetoric, the kind of thing that would have been confined to neo-Nazi forums a decade ago. Multiple mass shooters in recent years believed exactly this.

This guy is just pure evil and no matter who else gets got (legally speaking) after Trump is out of office, RFK Jr has to be at the top of the list. Never again with this shit.

america is an ideal worth fighting for

Donald Trump inheriting a situation that was suboptimal but honestly fine, deciding to personally intervene, and making everything significantly worse at great taxpayer expense is a perfect synopsis of every single thing he has done as president both times.

The entire Uruguay World Cup team got pulled up on the side of the road and investigated by immigration. Sniffer dogs, luggage ripped open. Trump America is a global embarrassment.

The social internet got turned into a giant dopamine farm by a handful of companies who literally hired the same psychologists who design casino floor layouts, and the policy-makers just threw up their hands and said "guess we better ban kids from using the internet then"

today our government argued that polluting citizens of the United States is necessary in order to continue supporting the non-consensual sexual image generator run by an open white supremacist

Gavin Newsom, interesting use case. You can go on Steve Bannon’s podcast all you want, do your little concession parade, reluctantly toss people who don’t look like you to the wolves. But they will still come after you. No matter who you threw under the bus first, you’ll be right there with them.

New: Researchers have quantified how easy AI search is to manipulate. Just 13 words buried in a random Reddit comment can poison AI search results. They suggest this is not easy to stop: "The way you can attack these systems is so much dumber than you think it is" www.404media.co/it-is-trivia...

We’ve got the Onion Newsvan circling the cursed UFC fight outside the White House.

Putting Bud Light out in front of the Trump White House is a funny statement about the durability of culture war complaints

In celebration of #ImmigrantHeritageMonth, the Magazines & Newspapers Department at OPL has put together a zine documenting Oakland’s incredible history of international music.🪘🪇🎺 Come pick up a zine or read the blog and experience the listening guide that goes with it! ➡️ https://bit.ly/4op5ofX

Dude I was just in a crowd that was blocking a bus and the girl behind me started chanting “MTA, MTA” and then the crowd parted to let the bus thru 😭 Greatest city in the world baby

even from a purely realist perspective, ambitious politicians should be trying to outdo each other on prosecuting ICE and the like. life pitching this one at you underhand

Obviously, this is great to see, but it isn’t a surprise. The fascists were able to go on their racist rampage not because their community broadly wanted it, but because a small minority called “police” allowed it.

great day to come to the Main Library and pick up a copy of the zine and then walk across the street for this view

My only contribution to the solar discourse (y’all need hobbies) is that before anyone touts solar as a kind of superior choice, moral or otherwise, we should mandate the installation of solar for rental properties.

You can read the full report here. It's got lots of useful info right at the top. I might start sharing sections of this with students in the beginning of the term. unu.edu/inweh/collec...
