This cycle, there were 6 NYS Assembly primary campaigns on which NYC-DSA and NY WFP collaborated, of which 5 won (yay! 👏). But you wouldn't know that from most of the coverage so far. Why is that? Because of worldviews like the one expressed by Christopher Robbins in this interview.

Thank you Stephen Miller for logging on to make sure everyone knows you're behind this racist effort. Shame on you, the President, and your klan of bigoted henchmen. America has always, and will continue to be, a nation of immigrants long after you and your cronies are gone.

Kinda weird when people come to a revelation about needing to win elections after losing a couple primary contests to the left and not when the courts and both houses of Congress and the Presidency are controlled by the other party

This isn't complicated. This is what I said it was: a lot of DSA and Bernie Bros are racist and abuse Black women online. They can be more abusive than Trumpers. And online MAGA weirdos may or may not be fake accounts, but many Bernie bros talk reckless on main using their full government names.🤡

As I said so many times:

I've said it before and I'll say it again: couples that clearly love AND like each other are so wonderful to be around. These two are so cute lol

Cannot emphasize enough how often this was articulated to decision makers from like 2015 on.

Ken Paxton says he often doesn’t want to be in Texas and prefers spending time in California, where he grew up, instead: “I like places in California, even though I don’t like to admit that I go to California, but it’s beautiful.”

this is what you should remember whenever these people claim to speak for the common man, for the average red blooded American

We are going to lose some fights Some important ones Some big ones But we must not lose our fight

Upon hearing that Mayor Zohran Mamdani had frozen my rent, I received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. One day I shall look down on Madison Square Garden from the Gardens of Jannah themselves. Truly there is no city but New York, and Mamdani is her Mayor!

you know sometimes i don't like having an active imagination

What’s remarkable about all this stuff is the stolen valor. You didn’t build shit, you won a birth lottery. You are a podcaster not Emperor Vespasian. bsky.app/profile/just...

By the way, this is why you should always be skeptical of any Dem who try to sell themselves as "I'm a progressive but I'm reasonable." McMorrow's pitch is that she isn't a centrist like Stevens but she's not crazy like El-Sayed. Yet here she is doing Fox News level islamophobia.

Pro actor. Never diagnosed neurodiverse. Thinking hard this morning about how theatre acting is great because you get to say familiar things multiple times and are clearly rewarded, and if you don't understand a complex social situation the director will explain it to you

this Türkiye win was for Eric Adams 🇹🇷

Everyone involved in the ai bubble must be held accountable once it bursts, and nobody is more responsible than Microsoft. They were the catalyst for this entire era, and the reason it kept going too. Satya Nadella may do more damage to the tech industry than Sundar Pichai in the end

The frame for how we talk about climate solutions has been so narrow for so long...industry wanted it that way and found researchers who shared their vision. Incredible reporting from @themadstone.bsky.social here, with an assist from me and @katieworth.bsky.social.

Hmm I wonder why

i do not wish the game industry a "shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less." i wish the game industry a "unionize and redistribute capital equitably"

Sam Alito: It is the worst kind of discrimination to create majority-minority congressional districts and so we are going to kill the Voting Rights Act. Also Sam Alito: There is nothing we can do if the president cancels legal status because he thinks the United States is a white country.

Nancy Pelosi was probably one of the sharpest minds navigating Congress in her best years. With her gone and the incoming candidates progressives, Dem leadership is in hot water.

Which reminds me: did Target not do a Pride Collection this year? Did they just give up entirely, or was it another half-assed weak sauce bunch of shirts and socks like last year?

The thing to know about the elderly is that they lose the ability to sense heat with age. So they are likely cooking to death before they realize they are hot. It's why you often find dead elderly heat stroke victims with the windows closed and no AC on. It's why check ins are so important

The AI bubble needs to pop—and there is a choice between two paths that can be taken to recover from the potential financial fallout, the author Cory Doctorow tells @cwarzel.bsky.social. Watch Galaxy Brain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPQN...

Total Ed Zitron victory

New - I wrote about progressive Jewish ascendancy in Mamdanistan:

Glad that people are winning in court on these cases, but the people who fired them on such bogus charges should be directly held responsible for their reckless, costly behavior. www.npr.org/2026/06/23/n...

I praise Ta-Nehisi because someone with social standing needed to put the lie to the idea that support for Kamala defines our Blackness. It is ok for us to be critical Black thinkers who oppose politicians backing genocide.

Hi! I'm looking to speak to anyone who is finding ways to resist/work around mandatory AI usage policies at work. Mostly games industry-related, but happy to speak to anyone adjacent as well! Published quotes can of course be anon if desired. DM me here or email at [email protected], thanks!

Oh no. Guy from lab went to other lab! I’m sure everybody can describe what this means or why it matters. I’m sure they won’t just move over there get paid and continue to iteratively improve models somehow

2028 is going to be a fucking extinction-level electoral event for so many of these incumbent Dems who have coasted for years without any serious challenges. This cycle is the clarion call for ten times as many primary challengers to take on suddenly-very-beatable-looking incumbents.

Consulting giant Accenture is trying to figure out how to stop non-technical workers from blowing through companies’ AI token budget on trivial tasks like converting PDFs to presentation slides, according to leaked audio obtained by 404 Media. Welcome to the Tokenpocalypse.

Rockstar Games is pricing GTA 6 at $79.99 for PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. The ultimate edition is priced at $99.99

reading AI eval papers using llm-as-a-judge is alarming for many reasons; many “scientific claims” rely on evals executed on models that are now deprecated. how are we supposed to treat “findings” that are inherently not reproducible? i despair. llms are accelerating the decay of scientific rigor

Are they importing racist white people because white people in the US aren't reproducing enough racists or what?

Again, “anti wokeness” is just a labor story, people love to pretend it’s something else, they just don’t like it when black people are in elite spaces that they think are white collective property

TBH I feel like Mamdani has bent over backwards to demonstrate that he's not remotely antisemitic, and guys like Frum who will call him an antisemite anyway on the basis of his religion and anti-Zionism are doing the work of bona fide antisemites

A university that called the cops on its own peaceful students is now set to be represented by one of them in Congress

@abeba.blacksky.app @willie-agnew.bsky.social among others made a good and very thorough article digging into the concrete (and increasing) connections and pathways for computer vision research to predominantly power surveillance tech: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The number of people experiencing homelessness in Ohio in 2025 increased more than 3%, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. via @ohiocapitaljournal.com

Went and found the Jensen Huang Wallet Inspector video. Anything could happen now

We're getting real today.

I’m ready to be done with Reaganomics 40 years of terror on American society.

See the Yale Youth Poll where moderates are basically disappearing and where young voters are basically self-describing as plurality liberal

You can't "call out" people who disagree with your version of events.
