Millions of people have just been murdered in an instant by this invading alien force. What remains of Los Angeles, Washington, and New York City is burning. This is unconscionable.

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

The previously-lost NES game that we published is out now and it looks great! @katewillaert.bsky.social really crushed the packaging design, look at this thing.

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge.

Writing a short essay for an international labor law thing and again struck by the pure insanity of claims that the 'era of neoliberalism' is over. To the extent that term is meaningful, there have been few changes I can see at the level of actual law/policy (not to mention broader economic reality)

The massive Xbox layoffs won't happen until after the fiscal year ends, but the company is already ending contracts and cutting vendors. So Assembly, Xbox's main PR agency, is laying people off today.

Further soft-confirmation of the endorsement strategy of Mamdani and AOC

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

Oh no, stancil is being boosted into my timeline non-consensually again.

among the issues with this is that ISIL absolutely hated the various Palestinian nationalist and Iranian proxy forces, so it's completely incomprehensible to argue that students in favor of the latter back the former

Like, I said it was POSSIBLE we'd see additional price increases this year but I was thinking more Q4 but also hoping it wouldn't happen. But now? Hell, maybe we just get quarterly price increases from now on. Why not. Nothing matters.

Awful scenes out of Venezuela tonight, with extensive building collapses after a 7.1 earthquake immediately followed by a 7.5. It seems likely to be a very deadly one. Thinking of the Venezuelan people going through this tonight. www.cnn.com/2026/06/24/w...

And he is also always on message.

By demanding this be a litmus test, without any of the base believing in it, pro-Israel politicians and organizations more or less wounded themselves.

⚠️ Confirmed: Network data show a significant decline in internet connectivity in #Venezuela including the capital Caracas following a 7.1 magnitude earthquake that has impacted energy and telecoms infrastructure.

It was hit with Tomahawks. We did it. This isn’t up for debate.

The power dynamic between Ukraine, Belarus and Russia has changed, as Lukashenko's fold on the issue of drone guidance repeaters today has shown. Ukraine's military power is enough to make Lukashenko back down, while at the same time he doesn't fear a weakened Kremlin's ire.

Islamic State confirms that one of the largest battles in the Sahel this year indeed took place a week ago. IS claims to have killed over 70 Nigerien soldiers, destroyed 22 vehicles and seized 24 operational. #Niger

Any time you hear 'boycott' when it comes to a video game it's time to raise the forecast.

It's so funny that The Atlantic started as an abolitionist journal and is now, among other things, the retirement home for Bush-era xenophobes

Brooklyn Can't Wait candidates are now uncontested or leading in 22 seats, out of 42 that is a majority, enough to elect a new chair I think we did it

Put her on the Education Committee and make Columbia's leadership testify again.

Two years after Darializa Avila Chevalier took part in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia University, she is now set to represent the district in which the university is located in Congress.

It's true.
