ICYMI: A new study has found that AI is actually *designed* to give us bad advice to keep us content.

Greatest. Correction. Ever.

Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day

A documentary about the First Lady that costs Amazon $75,000,000 and barely makes a dent at the box office is not a smart investment on its own. But what if that same company secures a $580,000,000 Pentagon contract around the same time? Suddenly, the math starts to look different.

Who wants to see itty bitty printing presses?

Private equity is every bit as much a part of the fascist project as the camps

If you or someone you know lives in Everett WA, there are several ICE vehicles patrolling Casino Square NOW, assumed to be watching for targets There are a few responders monitoring but ~8 vehicles in the area circling the Casino Square area, and concerns they may disburse into the community

Rarely has a people had such an *opportunity* to stop the evils of their government as we do right now. If we impeach and remove Trump, we will avert additional crimes against humanity. If we do not, history will judge us harshly. All of us. Yes, even me and you. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I literally don't think "naked bribery" has been tried hard enough. Most of these motherfuckers have a *price* for giving up their public careers. We should be willing to pay it.

Jesus fucking christ, boss. Yes, I know you are the prince of AI prompts and a very, very good boy. I wanted to push the limits of the stupid chatbot to see where it failed. I don't need four pages of your results from your very very good-boy prompts. I'm feeding stuff into it to meet our quota.

The difference between “dogs being out in public in Europe” and “dogs being out in public in the US” is that way more Europeans actually *train* their dogs so they’re not horrible, shitting, bitey nuisances.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

He NEVER went up his own ass, NEVER. And for a global superstar out of Hollywood this is a rare rare thing. From Carpenter to icon. A credit to my profession. Love the guy. A visibly moved HARRISON FORD accepting his AFI Life Achievement Award in Los Angeles this month.

Not to broach political forcefemming, but I do wish I could impart the experience of being both transsexual and nonbinary to liberals who act like (cis) women are inherently benevolent in wielding power.

I am blessed with a very, very bad dog. I mishandled her early training. Some of it was Covid, some of it is her innate personality, but I made mistakes that did not help. Most people won't admit such a thing, and I see them constantly minimizing the threat their dogs pose.

A little birdie tells me that this amazing indie media bundle with @marisakabas.bsky.social, @kattenbarge.bsky.social, and me will be going away in a few days. ($8.50 for 30 days of some of the best indie journalism around) trustfnd.com/katelynburns...

I'm not going to read the "I can take my dog anywhere" article because I know that I am going to be enraged. I can't believe how many people absolutely REFUSE to take people with allergies or people who just DO NOT WANT DOGS IN RESTAURANTS into consideration.

🚨: NASA just released this closest image of Moon ever taken by Artemis II . The clarity in insane in this view.

"AI is garbage, bro, it gives you wrong answers like half the time and the other half the time makes you stupid." Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid. ...We need to let these kids at the tech bros.

Happy Surrender and Freedom Day! On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac. home.nps.gov/apco/planyou...

The Kyiv Independent is launching a short series of Q&A sessions on Bluesky to give readers direct access to our newsroom. Over the coming weeks, our team will answer your questions about the war in Ukraine, global developments, and how we report on them.

The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

I'm just a boy, standing in front of the foreign policy community, asking them to stop describing Trump avoiding the single-dumbest policy option in favor of a still-very-stupid policy option as an example of the Madman Theory yielding results. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-beclow...

I have seen one good example of this plate

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

I just want to say, as a blanket rule, that no one should be using social media as a way to gauge general public sentiment, and if you orient your reaction to events based on how it appears to be received on social media, you are orienting your reaction to an illusion

FTR, whatever else Irish govt does w/tractor protestors, having declared the protest an infringement on critical infrastructure, they should investigate ties between movement leaders and Steve Bannon and Mike Roman, who've used this tactic in an attempt to overthrow democratically elected govts.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Welp. Another day, another reason not to take the Bulwark seriously.

I think it's fair to point out that they thought Biden might change due to public pressure. There's no reason to think that about Trump. Plus and the consequences for protesting on campus are MUCH harsher than they were two years ago

My kids don’t protest on campus, because they don’t want to be maced, arrested, and expelled for exercising their first amendment rights. They took their flags and signs to the No Kings.

I'm sure there will be no long-term consequences to all of us veering between hypervigilance over potential nuclear war and trying to go to work because none of us can afford to pay our bills and may still be trying to recover from health consequences from the pandemic we're pretending didn't happen

it has been 48 hours since the sociopath who currently serves as the president of the global hegemon threatened to launch nuclear missiles against a distant land that posed no direct threat to his own country for no legible reason and at this very moment that leader is still in power

In 2025, over 326 humanitarians killed. Over 1,010 in three years. My challenge to the Security Council: if we fail to defend humanitarians, the integrity of the Council dies with our colleagues.

Impeach him just for this.

This is what the ballroom is for.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

I realize that pub crawls are all the rage, but I truly feel as though there could be an immense market for library crawls, bakery crawls, museum crawls, bookstore crawls, and greenhouse crawls.
