Genuine question: Does an AI-generated summary like this that's "reviewed by our newsroom" actually save any time compared to, you know, just writing three bullet points?

these lawmakers make it harder for 99% of people in the state to find a decent affordable place to live, just so they can pad their own pockets, and we let them do it.

Did you hear the news?

EXCLUSIVE: A dark money group is offering influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate @katmabu.bsky.social www.ms.now/news/kat-abu...

Need a fiction book to read

its impossible to pick your favorite part. i dare you

swear to god my mom was once engaged to peabo bryson

i can't say it enough - this is the best book i read last year. (and i read a lot, due to my inability to sleep ever at any point) it will change your life. you have to read it. i cannot recommend it enough.

can't even begin to convey the horrific precedent this sets, what a devastating verdict that conveniently lets every lawmaker off the hook for the scourge of violence they've enabled www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Bo French, the former Tarrant County GOP Chairman who tweeted in January "We Are All Rhodesians," is going to a runoff in the race for Texas Railroad Commissioner (the state's top oil and gas regulator)

Seated at the Auburn Avenue Research Library for the conversation between @brian-goldstone.bsky.social & @jduffyrice.bsky.social for the paperback edition of “There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.” Thank you, Charis Books & Charis Circle! charisbooksandmore.com/book/9780593...

"Prosecutors sought to have his case dismissed without prejudice, allowing them to later re-charge him. But the judge rejected that request, citing the defendant’s arguments that “future prosecution may be politically motivated” – a claim that, the judge noted, the government had not contested."

talked about parenting, journalism, ICE, and how i am decidedly not a gentle parent. spreadthejelly.com/articles/jos...

Happy anniversary everybody

in hindsight we should have known things were gonna get weird the minute we couldn't agree what color that dress was

Still a lot we don’t know about this incident. If you were on the train, my contact info is in my bio.

Polymarket bets on @jaywillis.net’s blood pressure

CHOTINER: And the pizza place, what’s it called? ME: Dominos. CHOTINER: Right. And you can order from your laptop? ME: Yeah. Well, I can also use my phone. Sometimes that’s quicker. CHOTINER: And all the food in your fridge and pantry. When do you eat that? ME: Now hang on a second,

could not be more honored to be in conversation with this man

omg katseye not doing gabriella is criminal

They said "free speech" and "academic freedom" but never believed in either and now in texas you need a permission slip to mention race in class and they're fine with it. Might not have worked if people with large platforms weren't furious about marginal increases of black people in their offices

btw the civility panic a few years ago was about precisely this: the ability to have polite conversations about how black people are racially inferior in public without criticism or backlash bsky.app/profile/hann...

this is one of the funniest articles i've read in years. i laughed out loud multiple times. nymag.com/intelligence...

ta-nehisi on renee good, alex pretti, and the "culture war"

this is my grandma - minneapolis has had freedom fighters for a long time!

This is massive news that I somehow totally missed. Thank god for @boltsmag.org, seriously

should i be freaked out by this verizon outage? i'm out of town and truly wondering if i should go home early but maybe that's paranoid

This is the second time in three months a DHS agent called a US citizen a "bitch" as he shot her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

there's a self-protective instinct that causes so many people to defend the state in moments of terror. it's so much easier to think renee good had nefarious intentions — or even made an unfortunate mistake — than it is to think "they will kill without reason, and they would kill me too."

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

uh holy SHIT?

I feel like 80% confident this was written by ChatGPT

“Leaving behind over 3 million followers” is a crazy thing to write lol

Brilliant from @adamserwer.bsky.social: the Roberts Court's attack on the Reconstruction Amendments are "consistent with the Antebellum Constitution’s narrow definition of who “We the People” are." Here are some legal historians exploring the Antebellum Const. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This can be a tough week for a lot of people and I just want to remind anyone who needs to hear it that this week really does end and there is life beyond it. ✊🏽

i've said it many times before - mobility is one of my favorite books. i LOVED it.

Fentanyl is fentanyl. It’s a molecule. The illicit form, which is the same molecule as the medical form, comes in a different physical state (solid rather than liquid) making it even less of a threat/concern to anyone who isn’t using illicit drugs. It’s one of the most studied compounds in existence

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

a chicago cop shot his mistress (also a cop!) in the back after she threatened to tell his girlfriend that he was cheating. after shooting her he did...nothing. he didn't call an ambulance. he didn't administer aid. cpd is saying it was an "accident" and he hasn't been charged.

Guys... can I just say that I have admired @jduffyrice.bsky.social since the first time I read like five words she had strung together. I am incredibly honored to have this comment from her and hope you like it and order the book!

From Amnesty International:

settle an argument between me and some of my most idiot friends (if you're reading this i don't mean you): how is our spotify age number calculated? does it represent the date of the oldest song, or an average of all the dates of your listening history? if somewhere in between, which is closer??

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

We are all extremely lucky that justice-minded geniuses @hannahcrileyy.bsky.social and @jduffyrice.bsky.social write a newsletter together!!!!

i know we won't, but we have got to understand that a keystone of the republican project is to both categorize whole classes of people as criminal to justify locking them up, or to make them so broken and desperate that lawbreaking is all but certain to happen.

prosecutor associations are some of the most powerful organizations, and they get little scrutiny. anyway, this surprises me not one single whit www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
