Damn.

Denying coverage for newborn twins and addressing the letter to the babies…only in America…

the union representing federal workers is endorsing republicans like LaLota, Garbarino, Lawler and Malliotakis even though they support the MAGA/DOGE agenda of decimating the federal workforce this is just fucking insane. why are do many major unions have such horrible leadership?

The past is prologue. There's a lot of past to choose from.

Found some USA grown watermelon yesterday and, well, I'm glad to have it, but, it's not as good as it should be.

"People only THINK they're doing poorly. The economy is fine," they said.

"In 1992 New York tried to create a review board for NYPD officers accused of misconduct Thousands of off duty cops responded by smashing car windows, chanting racial slurs, breaking barricades outside of city hall, attacking journalists, pedestrians, and blocking traffic across the Brooklyn Bridge"

Straight up lying.... For those that have never needed it, apply without the info and see what happens.... he should try it... They request everything except your blood type when you apply for assistance. It pisses me off that media won't correct any lies.

Good morning. TIL there is a potato disease museum. With potato-sized coffins for the display.

I want watermelon. It's probably too early for any unless they're imported.

Lemme tell ya, keeping the transportation options open while trying to replace the transportation hub is something else. Especially when said hub is right next to an incredibly busy crossing (≈113K vehicles daily).

I'm awake. No night shifts for another 2 weeks. Now, I gotta wash my hair.

Definitely NOT the "quietly fixing things and changed my oil while I was visiting and still managed to give me a run for my money in the endless rummy games after dinner" manliness of my father's side.

GenAI is antithetical to librarianship as a profession, ethics, & pedagogy; it is v. depressing to see library workers pushing to insert it into all our systems and services. So I love the new Luddite Lab Resource Hub, partic. the 'AI Implementation Bingo' activity (under Political Education) 👇

When people say "none of this would be happening" it's very revealing about there views on who are and aren't people that have been having this happening to them the whole time.

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

mainstream democrats have evolved some sort of gland in their brains that makes them fundamentally incapable of acknowledging the fact that the youth are depressed as shit and don't really have a lot of hope for the future left

Ok, I've got to get my hands on this FT article

Thread du jour-

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com

Yall are not hearing me. Last week the Mutual Aid app I created saved 3 Black Women including a disabled Black Woman from eviction, paid their overdue bills, cleared their rent. If you’re reading his, a follow is all we ask, so we can become big enough to do this for more people per day.

The complete breakdown in the ability to search for things from the past combined with the massive spike in local digital storage pricing sure is something.

A network of fake academic journals masquerading as legitimate publications has published more than a hundred AI-generated papers in recent months, in some cases using the names of real professors at top universities without their knowledge.
