Experts say??? You mean 5th grade math students???

Each day you will be confronted with three unmarked doors. Behind door one is getting all your work done. Behind door two is getting enough rest and exercise. Behind door three is a tiger. Good luck.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours with no prep 1. The Supreme Court and Constitution are bullshit 2. The Joy of Reading Groups 3. NBC’s hit drama Chicago Fire

You mother fucker I have never once wanted to upload to OneDrive, just let me attach the file to the email

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

This guy is murdering people in the Caribbean and deciding how much your cabinets will cost.

These ICE ads so over the top. I wonder how they play to people who aren’t paying attention.

the exact right question if you ask me

Down the street from our house. ICE agents tackling a man in the middle of the street, holding him down like a wild animal. Guns out. This is an ethnic cleansing campaign in our neighborhoods. www.facebook.com/raphaeltalis...

Workers built DC and they make this city run. Today, we’re proud to announce that 4 major unions representing workers in food service and hospitality, public transit, and DC government have endorsed our campaign: @unitehere.org Locals 23 and 25, @atulocal689.bsky.social, and AFGE Local 2725 ✊🏽🥳

In response someone exclaims, "This ISN'T America — we don't have voting rights!" Pirro replies, "What are you talking about? You have the DC Council." Audience member: "Congress overturns our laws." Pirro: "Congress does a lot of federal legislation. You're no different than anywhere else."

Convinced a friend to watch Chicago Fire.

Surely my Senator is aware Sinclair isn’t bowing to Trump, it’s cheering him on. Dem politicians need to be developing plans to break up these right-wing media monopolies and laying the rhetorical groundwork for it.

"it's a big tent. but not big enough for you. big enough for the racists"

same along racial lines.

To read the university’s triumphant all-campus email about restored NIH funding, you’d think UC administrators made it happen. But that’s not true. In fact the UC *Faculty Association* organized the lawsuit; administrators kept their heads down and hoped it’d go away.

911 emergency services are DOWN all across Mississippi and in parts of Louisiana and Alabama, apparently due to one single fiber line being cut. @nickjudin.bsky.social has the latest updates from Mississippi + alternative emergency numbers: www.mississippifreepress.org/911-emergenc...

It was never about the papers

Millions of people in this country DO NOT VOTE. They can and should be enlisted in an anti-fascist fight.

CHOTINER: Then you dropped it. ME: Yeah. It was worth a lot of— CHOTINER: The quarter. ME: Right. CHOTINER: The one you were flipping near a sewer grate. To impress, what was it? Dames looking for trouble? ME: You know it was dames, man. CHOTINER: They didn't consider that trouble?

Oh I put this in the “cancel culture” canon

They look like they're about to demand the surrender of Paddington Bear to the authorities.

NYC-area folks! Please come out to this "New Yorkers Against ICE" rally tomorrow at 6:00PM in Foley Square. My union helped organize this action, and we're hoping for a big turnout. Foley Square is just a couple of blocks away from the immigration courthouses where ICE is kidnapping our neighbors.

Please join us *TOMORROW* at Pacific University for the 20th annual In Your Face Lecture, featuring @equalityalec.bsky.social on "Copaganda: Police, Media, & the Punishment Bureaucracy"! 4:30pm in Forest Grove. Free & open to the public.

A plea to friends, family and colleagues to stop sending me Bret Stephens columns, trust me I get the vibes

As long as there’s no pushback they’re going to keep on escalating.

I saw a real fire truck today up close but I kept it together

Imagine thinking we can win a fight (or should want to) over who should be deported?

Meghan McCain slammed Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's daughter, Violet Affleck, over her UN speech: 'This is why people hate nepo babies,' the daughter of Sen. John McCain said.

This is a good time to pay attention to the fact that the official narrative around the July 4 incident that the government described as a “coordinated and targeted attack” on ICE is falling apart. These people are lying liars. They are freely making shit up to fuel their witch hunts.

New argument against AI regulation just dropped. Checkmate, atheists. www.wsj.com/tech/peter-t...

I honestly cannot tell if the issue is more that lawyers do not know what AI is or that they do not care what AI is Always a safe bet to start w/ the hypo that it's about power, particularly in law but I still find what is happening perplexing/disorienting (which is why I keep typing about it)

This bullshit seems clever if you give it exactly zero thought

I do not believe that RFK Jr. could accurately describe the steps for making a grilled cheese sandwich without significant assistance.

AI at work is the ultimate evolution of all those work apps that make it take like 5 hours to finish an expense report only to have it sent back because you forgot to select US dollars in a dropdown menu

Mouch and Ritter going Chicago Fire CSI to prove that Cap broke the couch. (He did.)

Thinking about a chart a professor shared back in the day charting the number of AFDC recipients against Backstreet Boys’s record sales.

My right-winger parents, who have no autistic kids and will have none grandkids, often bring up "but autism!" in discussions we get into about ~ the news ~ as if they've always cared. It's entirely new as a dinner-table debate matter, and they believe they are experts.

The "Tacos Chotiner" tweet remains undefeated

I am not on that BlueSky list but I probably was 1,001.

THE PERPETUAL FUCKIN STRUGGLE

Love to feel like I am not pulling my weight and also overwhelmed by what I am doing.

rip sisyphus you would have loved escalators

Well, at least we’re burning through water and poisoning the Black people of Memphis so we can get more positive representations of, uh

People are eliding the fact that in that poll 1 out 5 people polled were pro "defunding the police" - using that exact language.

They built this technology with this use case in mind.

this game looks dope and comes out in November! 🐴

coming up with a "framework" for higher ed that actually addresses material conditions. is it just powermapping. who knows

No one has a platform as big as Trump, but lots of people have large platforms that *could* be actively challenging the antivax, anti-pain relief nonsense.
