Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

i wonder why we have a budget deficit

Some have suggested Zohran's success is rooted *only* in cost of living. But he also ran hard against Trump's authoritarianism/ICE raids. He ran the most explicitly pro-immigrant, pro-cosmopolitan campaign in memory. Let's say it: He ran an anti-fascist campaign. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2027...

‘“So much war for nothing.” Except it is not for nothing: money, power, territory, votes, money laundering and campaign finance are at stake. This is how Brazil has worked since at least the 1970s.’ Forrest Hylton on police and gang violence in Brazil, from the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/no...

RFK Jr is 100% the person most likely to get bit by a zombie and not tell anyone he got bit by a zombie

his entire world view is he hates sick people and wants them to die. part of this is a denial that sickness could ever come near him, thus his immediate panic

More than anything, I think people are desperate to feel like someone will actually fight for them. That matters so much more than any specific policy.

Ellis points to this testimony from CBP agent Kristopher Hewson. "Clearly, what he said was 'hit them,'" Ellis says. bsky.app/profile/jons...

When the freelancers and contributors did the trans rights letter we really thought the fact that they think highly enough of us to pay us to write/draw/shoot for them would have made them pay attention. Just the opposite: It triggered their innate contempt for their perceived lessers.

A lot of nyt folks, me among them, believed we could change the culture and the coverage from the inside. That by working within channels, we could convince the leadership of its obligation to cover trans ppl fairly. In hindsight I’ve come to think I was naive.

This judge may be the angriest person in America. This thread blew my hair back.

Greetings from the Dirksen federal courthouse, where U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis has just taken the bench to rule on federal agents actions' during a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and the suburbs. Background, for @wttw.bsky.social from @bymattmasterson.bsky.social

Facebook did this by the way. Mark Zuckerberg on-purpose melted our parents' brains for money.

I'm too lazy/out of practice/don't have a license at home to do this properly but close enough for posting work: I overlaid The City's new general election map over their primary map, and turned the general to 70% opacity. This produces four colors.

One hilarious thing you can’t forget in all of this: Trump cut some back door deal with Adams to make him drop out, and is now just stuck with the guy in whatever fake role he’s about to get in the White House AND Zohran STILL won.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

*psst* heard yall was looking for a big tent

i love new york city. many people are weird about it but it’s a special place. and i’m very relieved that we did not allow a politics of despair to get a foothold

Let's not forget that the only reason we're not talking about Boston @mayorwu.boston.gov's victory tonight is because she won her preliminary election so decisively that her billionaire heir opponent dropped out. ✊

I love how the most universally-despised people in the world were like "we full-throatedly endorse this race-baiting rapist" and "don't vote for brown guy or we'll leave the city!" & now establishment Dems are panic-pretending this isn't also a clear referendum on their shriveled up quisling asses.

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

7 months ago…

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”

Still one of the bleakest quotes I have ever read, from one of George W Bush’s senior advisers.

Your life is worse off because too many white people hate Black people.

Because it’s cis kids. The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇 No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

the apologists have actually been almost perfectly split between liberal pundits and left pundits, all united by that one great evil: podcasting

This is dope. In the spirit of the BPP free breakfast program, but fancy.

There are hundreds of thousands of homeowners in the US who probably don't realize there's a ticking time bomb on their American Dream in the form of a zombie second mortgage. And the agency tasked with policing this—wait for it—has been gutted by the Trump admin. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The only way out is through but that requires admitting that the Vice President of the United States is the kind of person who would brazenly tell lies that may very seriously get people lynched, and he means to do it and is a very smart person who understands what exactly it means. A horror story.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Tyranny. Intolerable.
