At least 91 were killed in the city on Tuesday as Israel intensifies its offensive, forcing thousands to flee.

who the fuck keeps giving gavin newsom my email

oddly obsessed with r/bald

Basel Adra, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land,” told The Associated Press that Israeli soldiers conducted a raid at his home in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, looking for him and searching his wife’s phone.

i cannot comprehend what this means

this is bullshit. i am a jewish democrat. kirk was a white christian nationalist. it is not normal to lower the flag in pennsylvania for some random member of the political opposition who was raised in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. stop making shit up

chat i'm concerned by the collective desensitization of witnessing death online

I understand that. I don’t understand why so many academics, people who choose a career based around thinking and writing and research, are so eager to outsource all three.

it really does make me feel like i'm talking to someone who has been body-snatched by an alien when i encounter these people

i hate to say this in 2025, but the latest labubu/trump is fucking satan south park episode was actually very fucking funny and dare i say well written

Follow up to this?

the wachowski sisters were cooking omg-

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

it's so wild to be in a department where the staff (from the teaching support to the HR) are legit professionals, class acts.

The Matrix has left the zeitgeist enough that several students have referred to a singular matrix as "one matricey"

All that said, this overall plan is innovative and the report (which is huge) is really, really interesting. www.phila.gov/programs/phi...

"An urban tree canopy of at least 40% results in the most cooling – as much as four to five degrees Celsius (seven to nine degrees Fahrenheit)."

Media in the Trump era has largely been defined by outrage over MAGA attacking them and their colleagues. But they're happy to not just ignore the hundreds of journalists who have been killed in Gaza, but to run active cover for it. How do these people sleep at night?

just saw a republican pa state law maker refer to septa, philadelphia's public transit system, as a chauffer for urban residents lmfao

what's up w/ commies and "giving away" literal garbage for "charity". why are there tostitos jars in my local thrift store

I’ll write more soon, but for now all I can say is that I am utterly heartbroken about the garbage “deal” that Mayor Parker and her cronies have forced onto our city workers. The strike may be over for now, but the members still have to vote on the deal—and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a hard no

Ummm this is fucking awesome?????

They actually did it.

The left has the advantage of truth but doesn’t know how to wield it. The right is saying don’t worry about losing Medicaid, you won’t need it once the immigrants are gone and you get the job. That will fail because it’s not true. But that myth will return again in a few years w/out transformation.

This was the logical next step, if you’ve been paying attention.

boycott the u.s.a.

I cannot believe I have to explain this but just FYI, Indian muslims are not arabs

I'm not sure this nickname will have the impact they think it will

Zohran Mamdani just showed how the left wins.

CUOMO CONCEDED BING BONG

The Democratic Party is already dead. They’re the 1850s Whigs but just don’t know it yet

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

My mom went from “Andrew Cuomo seems like the most competent candidate, I know he’s a creep but all men are creeps” to “I like this kid a lot, actually!” and will hit her local voting booth tomorrow at 6am with my dad in tow! If this jaded Chinese auntie can decide to give a fuck, so can you.

i'm tryna take a nyc trip to door knock for zohran in the general election bro. i've never liked a politician this much in my life

This is correct. It will be at minimum a 4-way general with Cuomo (Dem/Ind), Mamdani (Dem/WFP), Adams (Ind), and the Republican nominee (I think some wingnut radio guy). Dem primary is inconsequential. If Lander upsets and wins the primary it goes 5-way (unless Mamdani backs out to support Lander)

If you ask people if they support joining Israel to attack Iran, it polls extremely poorly. If you ask people whether we should strike Iran to stop them from getting nukes, its polls pretty well. How this story is framed will shape public support, and could shape the rest of Trump’s presidency.

i really can't get over what rank choice voting does to the dynamic of campaigns and between candidates regardless of its merits (which seem very good), it's just a healthier political dynamic

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.
