WHAT DO WE DEMAND MODERATION WHEN DO WE WANT IT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME

I’m still sayin’ this has the smell of an Appalachian Trail to me.

Can we please all agree to let NYC do NYC without a thought piece on every pronouncement or SM post? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

And just an FYI, the world is on fire (literally and figuratively). Carry on, but I wouldn’t make any long-term plans.

The Supreme Court keeps trashing campaign finance laws. It wants to guarantee that our government is owned by billionaires. Republicans absolutely hate "government of the people, by the people, for the people."

Four justices don’t believe the reconstruction amendments are part of the Constitution, simple as

If nothing else today's decision should make it easier for the next Dem POTUS to radically clean house before working on reforms. Anyone Trump hired should be gone immediately.

Unitary executive is an anathema to sound representative governance. Full stop. #NoKings

They’ve always been like this. You just haven’t been paying attention.

Seriously (if you can even use that word about anything related to this guy), does he not have anything more *important* to do? Cripes sake already. 'Our president is insane': Critics ridicule Trump's rant on 'criminally made algae'

Welcome to the Great American State Fair

The entire fuckin point of the national mall is loitering

My not-so-hot take is that what Mamdani is doing *IS* incrementalism, and the bar is so deeply in hell that a politician just doing *anything* good consistently is a total anomaly for people. And I think for now that is good and fine, because it is restoring people’s faith that better is possible.

I’m with Chris in thinking an Alito retirement announcement next week is more likely than not.

People should be reminded of just this, each and every time this person makes “headlines” for yet another overtly racist rant. A terrible person.

Hiring bias in AI tool. Study shows that AI tool most companies use for hiring is a shutting out Black and Asian applicants.

Tear it all down. Rebuild on more secure footings.

The way you keep inputting a password you know is correct, and some website tells you it's not, & then you give up and agree to reset it and put the same password, AND THEN IT TELLS YOU THAT YOU CANNOT USE YOUR MOST RECENT PASSWORD. why is this so frequent, & is there anything more infuriating?

Hey if you are looking for work this sounds like a fun option! 🥷 japantoday.com/category/nat...

We identified 17 of the 27 'grievances' in the Declaration of Independence with a contemporary analog. We then annotated those 17 grievances with quotes from federal judges across 52 court cases involving the Trump administration. The judges in their words (many referencing the Declaration itself)

Wordle 1,831 6/6 🟨⬛⬛🟩⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟩🟩 ⬛⬛⬛🟩🟩 🟨⬛⬛🟩🟩 ⬛🟨⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Around 4/5 I was like, no, that can’t be. By 6/6 I was, what’s to lose? Still feels kind of an odd choice. 🏳️‍🌈 ?

I feel like what accolades I’m seeing are more for his longevity than his performance. 100? Yay! Bubbles and irrational exuberance? Not so much.

People use "ASAP" because they can't spell "imijeatly"

Well now here's something pretty spiffy. New out today from the New York Vocal Collective, a choral arrangement of Paul McCartney's "Blackbird." The first two and a half minutes are fine, but then it becomes…something else entirely. (You know the THX sound effect?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9ot...

Just showed this to my wife and she plotzed.

I absolutely hate military flyovers at sporting events. Four military helicopters just did flyover in Seattle at the #WorldCup US vs Australia match. Say NO to militarism. #NoWarButClassWar

And don't forget: we don't have to help Bezos get richer. A lot of products on the Amazon site can be purchased directly from the vendor on their own website.

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

I honestly think Trump is currently operating at a capacity where any changes to his will would be contested in court

My God, this thread:

Turns out we are being controlled by evil secret societies.

If I wanted to light my money on fire, it wouldn't be his ballroom. So much waste, fraud and abuse it will take forever just to tease out a small fraction.

If it’s not either Trump, Vance, Musk, Bezos, or Zuckerberg I don’t care. Preferably all of the above but the barrel doesn’t look that big.

Schrödinger's name removal -

Happy Birthday, POTUS. Release the files so the American people can know what wonderful secrets you share with Jeffrey Epstein.

The Lincoln Memorial is this nation's secular temple. It's solemn and sacred space. And this is desecration.

250 be like, meh. Call me at 255 when hopefully there’s something to celebrate and not this Ceaușescu / American Nero BS.

It's an objective fact that Elon Musk is a mass murderer. He intentionally caused the deaths of millions of people. There's no caveats to this, no alternative explanations, no defenses, no missing context; that was the sole reason for doing what he did.

Seattle elects a socialist mayor, wins the Super Bowl NYC elects a socialist mayor, wins the NBA finals Win your city a major sports title with this one neat trick

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

For that you’ll get a sliced tomato, a couple of leaves of lettuce, and a generous scoop of whole fat cottage cheese. Attire: late stage capitalist. Cash bar. Trump met with wave of mockery as details of his $1 million-per-person dinner

This point can’t be stressed enough. Just as Musk bought Twitter to try to make himself seem popular, he bought Tesla to make himself seem smart. The only thing he’s actually invented is a mythology about himself

Paul Krugman: "We have a term for enterprises that look successful because they keep drawing in new investors and keep drawing in new investors because they look successful. They’re called Ponzi schemes. And Elon Musk is basically a human Ponzi scheme."

This is not sustainable. Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics. We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.

This should trigger a reaction similar to the anti-Apartheid movement. I do not want any of my investments tied to this man or his companies. Xero. (and while I’m not all that savvy, I would think investing in stuff that suffers repeated rapid unplanned disassembly can’t be good - just me)
