just strip the copper from the walls you fucking vandals

Sometimes it's hard to work when you're having an existential crisis.

Solidarity with E. Jean Carroll and all survivors who face legal retaliation and criminal prosecution for speaking the truth. This is both remarkable and utterly unsurprising. Survivors have been jailed, retraumatized, harassed, and sued into silence for far too long.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

The new Boston Logan airport outlet of Mike's Pastry will offer such popular items found at the North End location as cannoli, cheesecake and lobster tails, while also selling ready-to-go items and espresso drinks. on.nbcboston.com/uybJvcI

"Online rancor."

Hoffman “was first arrested and charged in 2022 for repeated instances of sexual abuse with a 10-year-old boy, a first-degree felony, and was facing life without parole.” Corrupt Ken Paxton is endangering children.

I like this platform because if I have something I want to talk about but it isn’t obvious who I should talk to, I just throw it out here and it will probably find its reader. Also, if you aren’t in the right place for what someone’s putting out, just glide on by. No excuses needed.

I hate these people so fucking much, man years of whining about "weaponized DOJ investigations" and they're just going down the enemies list launching frivolous bullshit because the bossman says so

Sharyn Alfonsi releases the following statement on CBS News essentially ghosting her: "This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom."

Bad karma day for Pam Bondi, I guess. Cancer *and* an ethics complaint.

Love how fast Bluesky is reporting that Morris Day and the Time aren't playing Trump's "State Fair" after all.

MIT (endowment: $27B) shuttering three of its four main libraries is one of those news items that just knocks you off balance, auguring, as it does, profound and permanent changes to the entire institutional apparatus of higher education in this country.

It's time to tax AI and invest in people.

I wrote about Elon Musk's attack on Lupita Nyong'o, and how it is important to put that in the context of the fact that Musk launched an actual ongoing genocide against non-white people which has already killed hundreds of thousands. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/musk-attac...

Please Prince estate! Protect the Beloved One’s legacy.

Anyway, it is trivially easy to identify major historical changes that cannot be attributed to a singular Great Man moving history. Who is the great man responsible for the rise of Rome? For the British Empire? For the industrial revolution? For the Black Death?

IMPORTANT: Dark Horse Workers United is *NOT* calling for a boycott of @darkhorse.com at this time. You may absolutely continue to buy your single issues, collected editions, manga, etc at this time!

Good thing nobody covered Trump’s 2024 win as a mandate for dramatic policy change & a right-wing vision of America’s future — instead of, say, a close win driven mainly by the price of eggs and gas going up (then back down!) in 2022-23. That would have been irresponsible. Good thing nobody did that

Hey pals! I just ordered a book via Bookshop.org, which is not only *not* Amazon, it actually supports whatever local indie book store you choose - and oh hey! What's this I have here? Why, it's a refer-a-friend code so you can save 20% on your own order! Yay books! 🎉 refer.bookshop.org/wzh2gw22

Boston’s beloved Citgo sign, the brightly lit red triangle above Kenmore Square that for decades has symbolized the city in art and media across the world, will soon go dark for at least six months as crews reconstruct and relocate the structure.

In a human/machine collaboration, humans will *always* be the bottlenecks. To maximize return on automation, you need to drive the human peripherals that serve the machines at the absolute limit of human endurance. 20/

Herbs are expensive at the store, ESPECIALLY fresh but even dried. But they are also, in many climates (esp 8b to 5a, aka most of the continental US) the easier thing to grow and the one thing that truly saves money, IME. Rosemary persists year over year. Basil grows as high as my hip.

This is the most recent letter from hunger/labor striking prisoners at Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, NJ. "We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!"

A reminder of the Delaney Hall hunger and labor strikers' demands:

Buried deep in this reporting is a demonstration of how Elon Musk's decision to gut USAID and its medical support programs in subsaharan Africa can be directly connected to the way in which Ebola ballooned very dramatically in the Congo, clearing 1000 cases in just a couple of days.

i looked into this and there is a massive survivorship bias. There are so, SO many guys who are trying to do grifts that are making next to nothing. You basically have to already have something valuable, like a platform, or some sought after skill, and at that point you can just keep your principles

I don't think about the day I get to stop working and travel or enjoy my projects and garden. I think about the day I can no longer work and lose my health insurance and stable income.

A thing I love about my neighborhood is the big Eid observance on the high school football field. Eid Mubarak for those who can celebrate. But here is a heartbreaking story of Eid in Gaza, so we don't forget those who can't. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/...

Fine, I'll say it: The Texas Senate race is a tossup www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-texas-...

Yep. Thing is, AI couldn’t prove itself vital enough fast enough to compensate for the absurd burn rate on capital so this outcome was always inevitable. Heroin, for example, proves valuable immediately.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

🚨URGENT need for more people to join the protesters outside Delaney Hall as ICE escalates their violence, per people on the ground. show up if you can.🚨

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

well, it took a year and change, but Cambridge's first-in-the-nation project to upzone the entire city for 4-to-6 story residential has finally produced the kind of thing it was supposed to: 55 units, 20 percent affordable, replacing a single $3m home

Soooooo restless today.

The Boston Globe is accepting submissions for the 22nd annual Will McDonough Sports Writing Contest. The contest is free to enter and open to all students in grades 9–12 throughout New England. Entries must be no longer than 700 words, and each student may submit only one (1) entry. (1/2)

Remember when everyone had a little .sig on their emails? I just got an email from somebody that had two inspirational quotes after the signature. I had a great collection for mine, including each of the 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights.

#1. This is a lie. #2. Lots of dollars don't go to people who are lawfully, correctly, eligible to receive them. This administration wants to increase that total. #3. This admin has gutted professional anti-fraud tools (e.g. Inspectors Generals) while fueling massive fraud by cronies.

I just really want Europeans to understand that you can’t *grit* your way through heatstroke. Chicago suffered a terrible heatwave in 1995 and 700+ people died. Please figure this out sooner rather than later, I am begging you. It’s only going to get worse.

It takes me forever to read serious history books that challenge my previous education. But it is worth it.

My niece is writing a play for Fringe and has a casting call. If you know anyone interested or are interested yourself, I can put you in touch with her.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

"Dating from c1290 to 1310, the manuscript contains texts from the Old French Lancelot-Grail cycle – the foundational myths of King Arthur, Merlin and the holy grail – and 126 miniature illustrations, including a rare depiction of Merlin as a stag." #MedievalSky www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

"Acclimation to mass death—and the devaluing of humanity in general—is the primary purpose of all AI and techno-futurist propaganda" @joshcaress.bsky.social writes.

The problem with even talking about Ilan Wurman is that it is very hard for people to realize that debate bro culture is inherently insincere. The whole point is that you can make any argument sound plausible and these people have very high opinions of themselves. They never have to drop the grift.
