Me: "Why does Scott Jennings have such an annoying face?" @mizzwelch.bsky.social: "He should be fired... he is such a disgrace to human beings, intelligent conversations, to the truth." Watch Zeteo's full podcast 'We're Not Kidding': zeteo.com/p/jennifer-w...

There's a watchlist 👀

Phil Gonzalez from CBS, welcome to the Verge’s background policy www.theverge.com/policy/88000...

Mike Rounds says Republicans just want to make you show your document with a yellow star in order to vote

Love that the scientists are here :)

Stephen Colbert should run for president. Like for real this time.

Trump officials have blocked Minnesota law enforcement from accessing materials to investigate the death of Alex Pretti. They also refused to cooperate with Minnesota officials to investigate Renee Good’s death. What don’t they want the public to know?

A group of pediatricians wrote an op-ed detailing the traumatic, lasting effects kids in detention centers will endure: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Bari Weiss built her career in part by whining about how the left was supposedly censoring conservatives. “The Free Press” - the unironic title of her publication - ran numerous pieces about a “censorship-industrial complex.” Now, under her watch, we get to see real censorship - and hypocrisy.

My God…

millennials love animal crossing, a game where you can realize the dream of homeownership through indentured servitude to a family of raccoons. you can pay off your home loan by picking weeds and collecting seashells. nobody’s sure why it’s so popular

For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

Whether it's Barack Obama on the left putting Dijon mustard on a hot dog or Alex Karp on the right spraying Palantir short-sellers with fentanyl laced-urines, both men have a penchant for putting exotic substances in places that they don't usually go.

A very strong leading indicator

Why do people think two years before the election that “you have to suck it up and vote for Newsom” is a compelling argument? Anyhow we can clearly do better and we should.

Not sure how I feel ab this but a little tickled that their first primary example is podcasts

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

I don’t know if I’m bad at promoting but I am still both (1) surprised at what LLM coding agents can accomplish and (2) equally surprised how little things trip them up all the time and they cannot unfuck themselves

Maybe I’m just out of touch but I don’t understand Dem party politics. Why is anyone opposed to ppl like Kat? If there is extensive rot inside the org based largely on seniority (a sense of deserved power/authority), out of touch consensus based on consultants etc, and inability to do anything…

roses are red violets are blue tom homan’s a bitch greg bovino, too

Really feels like we are casually walking towards the edge of the cliff for our nation, doing nothing to prevent disaster

Trump's former attorney. "THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

The long-term damage Trump 2 has done to the US in one year makes Brexit look like a stubbed toe

It’s like accidentally turning on the selfie cam but on a species level.

You cannot convince me that Joe Rogan and Jake Paul are smart

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Wow @dril.bsky.social is pulling *5* posts a month 🫤

I don’t like traveling back in time as a plot device bc it’s logically impossible but to entertain the idea hypothetically, dude we would all be so fucking bored No internet, no mobile phones, like… It would induce a stimulation withdrawal anxiety attack in most ppl

So Bush R policies lead to Trump Rs destroying society Cool… cool

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side. Will DHS retract the prior claims?

Picard management tip: Hire aliens. It's no big deal.

Kind of crazy that the world’s largest democracy and most powerful nation is being defeated by… checks notes… the dumbest possible ppl becoming prominent by lying through their teeth and information sources pivoting to what ppl want to hear vs what is true

COVID, pneumonia, viral bronchitis AND RSV?!?!? jfc

Penguins

If we ever make it out of this there are going to be lawsuits for a decade, and it will probably take as a long just to restore the damage they’ve done to institutions, agencies, and scientific research Not to mention the lost lives that can’t be brought back and all the harm and suffering

They’re gonna fucking do it yall. Fuck w voter registration, ICE at voting locations

I can think of several dozen historians who would be happy to lecture @jaketapper.bsky.social about why "concentration camp" is, in fact, an apt term.

Good God. This is just insane.

Interesting, @marcelias.bsky.social’s recommended changes to prevent Trump/R voter disenfranchisement. ~7 things he says every state should do cc @chancethelawyer.bsky.social @leahlitman.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social pca.st/episode/b511...

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

@alexbenzer.com 👋 this is pretty minor but I don’t think it makes sense to bundle on device notifications in this way (or at all) These are different users with different posts, yet only one post is previewed

If you don’t see the utility personally, I can get that. If I wasn’t coding I probably wouldn’t either. If you’re worried about its downsides, join the club. A lot of us are too. But no matter what your take is, take it seriously. This shit isn’t crypto.
