Google AI overview: It's like a page from a deranged children's book

continuing my theory that app workers at google are engaged in makework rather than improvement they have changed what was pretty clearly a lightbulb icon into...a ??? lightbulb

This is an extraordinary story, and like a lot of extraordinary stories about wrongdoing and corruption, will become much harder to report if the Trump administration succeeds in requiring NDAs of all federal employees. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-want...

ICE is shooting pepper spray and attacking press right now at Delaney Hall.

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do? Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?

“The Peace Room was actually my reason to come to school, like I’m gonna be honest, I hate school, I don’t really want to be here, but the Peace Room gave me something to look forward to when coming to school,” Brown said. chicagoreader.com/city-life/hy...

I finally had a chance to watch the testimony today. If the funding remains flat, budget shortfalls for each library system in FY27: NYPL - $17.5 million BPL - $8 million QPL - $9.6 million (IT, unfunded wage growth, library collections, new healthcare costs) Once again, this is why we need 0.5%.

A senior CIA official was arrested last week after investigators found hundreds of gold bars worth over $40 million stashed in his Virginia residence, a small fortune that he apparently brought home from work, according to court papers.

Also, fuck anyone who signs up to perform for Trump's nonsense

lmfaOOOOOo

maybe my calling has always been hype man. need a recommendation letter? I GOT YOU. need me to scream at your live show? TAP ME IN. need a smidge of emotional support? LET ME TELL YOU HOW AWESOME YOU ARE.

I just spoke with Sister Sharon of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Philly. She drove straight from the ICE prison there where she was doing a weekly prayer session to Delaney Hall to support the hunger strikers. This is what she had to say:

Like, everyone mad at the ufc cage on the White House lawn but it’s accurate. This is who we are. Gotta accept it to change it or whatever. We are a cage-match-on-the-lawn country.

ICE's henchmen are brutally attacking our neighbors and community advocates in our streets. Pepper spraying electeds and shoving family members to the ground—all to defend their hatred for immigrant detainees.  End the chaos and shut down Delaney Hall.

Sparky WAS very cute.

This may be one of the most pusillanimous, and disingenuous, bits of writing on the right's attempt to destroy the humanities in the US.

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

Fox reporter to protester: You have a dirty mouth Protester: You are a Nazi bitch

as much as i appreciate the democrats responding with vigor for once, the fact that republicans are using "transgender" as a slur for a political candidate is fucking horrifying and dems need to quickly figure out a way to address it head on. calling stephen miller ugly isn't a long-term fix.

Van Hollen is right: Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing, apartheid, & genocide against the Palestinian people. US officials, under Biden and Trump, who have aided and abetted these crimes by providing taxpayer dollars, bombs and political support to Israel have no place in future administrations.

The disdain for "sanctuary cities" by the anti-immigrant crowd cannot be underestimated.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

Hi! I’m Alexis, and I’m running for U.S. Congress to represent #MD06. I’m a technologist, finance nerd, former regulator, and queer mom of 2. I’m not afraid of holding bullies accountable & my experience makes me uniquely qualified to do just that in Congress.

A $10 donation came in after I made the last post, so the total we raised is $1,607.62, split three ways into $536 each. 💪 We donated to the Wilson Foundation's MN housing fund, which is matching donations, and two of Operation Milkweed's top four fundraisers for MA families impacted by ICE.

Good point

Fun true facts about George Washington: - overspent on luxury clothing and goods and part of his resentment toward the British was about his personal debt to luxury houses - Once had his slave Ben shoot a hole in his hat so people would think he'd barely escaped death

BIG NEWS: With the federal case being dropped, the mutual aid hub stays open this week! We’re still recovering from weeks of legal chaos, so we’ll be open Tues through Thurs for cleanups, game night, tax workshops, and phonebanking, then closed Fri - Sun to rest. Here’s what we're up to this week:

The Mayor's budget simply RESTORES what HE CUT in the preliminary budget. What's true is that he says that the library budget will be baselined to this amount for the next 3 years. The ACTUAL budget will be flat if that's true. Our libraries are UNDERFUNDED.

I have a new piece out Reflecting on 20 years of migrant struggles, it goes into what abolish ICE does - and doesn't - mean; merging of immigration enforcement with policing & military power; and how fascism is made through bordering. Despite resisting it for so long, I also now define the border.

calling on law bluesky, abolition bluesky, I cannot stop thinking about this wild, honest look into who and what people think the law is for and what cops actually do

Last night, ICE purposefully targeted medic, pacifist & veteran Adam Marshall, an organizer with Eyes on ICE, while he was trying to help protestors at Delaney Hall who had been gassed three times. They slammed him to the ground and ripped off his gas mask. He was arrested and dumped 10 miles away.

Reporters @thecity.nyc spent months acquiring & analyzing every habeas petition filed by immigrants around NYC We identified 430 street arrests, far outnumbering courthouse arrests 93% targeted Latinos Latinos make up 66% of the undocumented population projects.thecity.nyc/ice-street-a...

The State Department supposedly sent $1.5 billion tax dollars to the Board of Peace slush fund, which is now empty.

I don’t think there’s a compelling reason to be looking at any aspect of right-wing organizing with envy. And especially not with a desire to emulate. There are more than enough examples of anti-authoritarian community organizing *while under an asymmetry of power* we can actually learn from.

A Florida judge says voting rights groups have not sufficiently proven the new Florida gerrymander was drawn with partisan intent (which is forbidden by the Florida constitution) when the DeSantis' team has said that explicitly! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...

Protesters cheer and ICE agents silently look on while detainees at Delaney Hall flash the lights inside the facility.

When I was on a menswear forum, there was a guy whose style I greatly admired. Like others on the forum, Niyi Okuboyejo loved men's tailoring. He had a technical understanding of how a jacket should hang from the shoulders. He also knew how to put things together in a classic way.

WILL CAIN: Does Hasan Piker reflect your vision? EL-SAYED: My vision is one where every American can afford basic dignity, where you can get healthcare when you need it, where our govt isn't wasting your taxpayer dollars dropping bombs on other people's kids. Do you agree w/ everything Trump says?

It says a lot that even anti-fascists struggle to think of a winning strategy beyond "more police to fight the police."

Literally every habeas case out there.

Agreed, and good thread. Also a million+ people in the US died in that time, many more seriously hurt. Setting aside for a sec all higher values involved, thats all very expensive. My mom got disabled by covid and the cost of medical care plus missed work meant she almost lost her house. Furthermore

Here are 14 worthy campaigns; please choose one to support. If we win even just 7, we'll change the Assembly's composition enough to truly contest for the Assembly's bottom-line in budget negotiations. And that, in turn, could change the entire dynamic with the governor. bsky.app/profile/bdli...
