Columbine was 27 years ago today. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard about it.

He’s running out of women to fire.

This character reminds me so much of a guy I hate 😂

This will never not be right to me.

Articles about Jared Kushner's diplomatic role with Iran that mention Kushner has received billions from the Saudi government (2/28-4/19): NYT: 5 of 58 WashPost: 1 of 43 WSJ: 0 of 40 AP: 0 of 26 CNN Wire: 0 of 18 NY Post: 0 of 17 Chicago Tribune: 0 of 4 LA Times: 0 of 4 Boston Globe: 0 of 2

The other fabulous part of the AI publicity plan is “teach this junkware everything you know so that I, a rich CEO, can use it to put you out of work”. Wild how that isn’t being received with enthusiasm by the general public.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

Just joining the chorus of voices pointing out that we've spent a lot more time this last week talking about "not all men" instead of "a terrifying number of men in this particular instance."

This is cray cray. Congress? Where you at??

Why do we need this? Can’t we invest in vaccines and cancer research instead?

The men who are attempting to contextualize the horrific actions of Justin Fairfax are sending a clear signal that violence against women can be justified by supposed stress.

let's make a cultural value judgment: palantir are a bunch of execrable fascist shitheads and their ideas go against the basis of every civilized country on earth, from which they should be extirpated like the intellectual cancer they are

these are immensely self absorbed men who pine for nazi germany and apartheid south africa — stagnant, backwards regimes btw — because they imagine themselves the masters of the universe.

the tech fascists think they are so clever and smart but their entire worldview is just a bunch of stale apologetics for race hatred and fascism

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

I've been saying for a while, now. A functional FBI under Trump would be an FBI doing a ruthless job of jailing opposition leaders and activists on bullshit charges

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

If you want the people to trust you, enforce the law, reform the institutions, fight corruption, restore order and revive public faith. Do not ask for permission once given power. Do not expect cooperation from the Republicans. Say: as for me and my party, we will serve democracy.

Paranoia is a symptom of late stage alcoholism, no?

No “security threats” at this event then?

There's a lot of questions about what Oversight Democrats are doing to hold Pam Bondi accountable for ignoring her lawful, bipartisan subpoena on the Epstein files. Let's talk about it.

Apparently it’s National haiku day so someone at work posted a haiku on Teams. It was AI generated. It had the wrong number of syllables in the second line. 🤦‍♀️ AI is trash. Don’t use it.

Noah Wyle also banned cellphones on the set and brought in a lending library that everyone can contribute to. He said the background actors are the best read people in Hollywood right now.

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

Many faculty at places like Yale, especially ones who like to pontificate about the state of higher ed, have never stepped foot on a non-fancy small liberal arts campus, a state school, or a community college. Which is the majority of higher ed.

Gross. Leave the birds out of this nonsense garbage.

I am so very sad and upset about the boundary waters.

Another unprecedented abuse of the Congressional Review Act. This is basically all congressional Republicans do anymore.

💔💔💔

Same girl, same

It may seem paradoxical but a key to accomplishing (1) will be to deflate the psychological importance that Americans attach to their voting decision. Casting a particular ballot in a particular election needs to become understood as a small practical matter, not a titanic moment of self-expression.

DJT’s words don’t matter to the Pope. Neither do Vance’s. Really. Stop trying to create a debate—whoever you are who is doing this. There’s no debate. No quarrel. Just some peeved Americans spouting off at someone who lives and works on another plain from them. Puh-lease.

Done

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

There is also a”war crimes” doctrine.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a “genocide Joe” type protestor interrupt a MAGA event. If you weren’t hypocritical, you folks who hurt the Democrats’ election outcome by protesting about Gaza ONLY when Biden or Harris were speaking, should be interrupting EVERY Trump event just like this. ⬇️

Currently reading The Automobile and Urban Transit (I believe @davidzipper.bsky.social recommended it, solid choice) and it says “wider streets and better pavements failed to solve Chicago’s traffic problems” Reader, this took place in the 1920s. 100 years ago. We’ll never learn!! #InducedDemand

Omg you guys the tickets were free. They could’ve done a double header with the Melania movie.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... This is a warning!

I think JD is going after the pope to try and boost sales of his book. I hope it backfires as spectacularly as stumping for Orban.

Call you senators NOW! Vote no on the SAVE ACT, vote NO on HJR 140! CALL NOW! Protect our right to vote and protect our public lands!! #bwca Please share!!!
