Note that the Carney government is *not* disentangling us from this company. They're working with Cohere, who works with Palantir.

You may not know @taskmaster.tv. It's hilarious & joyful. I begged to do it, worked out my schedule a year ahead of time to make it happen & got to do the best show on TV w/ the loveliest ppl. Ep 1 is out &, trust me, you need this joy. All seasons free on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRfH...

I want our federal government to unequivocally condemn the threats of genocide, illegal invasions of other countries, actual genocide, and the violation of international law including the Geneva Conventions.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

they literally renamed the entire company after this

one Indian journalist on the other site called her "Daal Gadot" help

NO. DO NOT. NOT OKAY.

"I don't want to say it's never important to be patriotic or think about your country. It's hardwired in a certain way. But, once you go to a certain point, once you over emphasize it I think you get into real trouble." - Chandran Kukathas

Canada is 3 oligopolies in a trenchcoat. Thats the explanation. We get hosed on everything

Arundhati Roy empties the clip!

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

For those who know: she was director of PR for RSS’s international charity wing, Sewa international, which got US tax payer money during COVID to do Hindu nationalist things like “converting” tribals in India in the name of “education” 🫠 This is what passes for Dem in the desi community in the Bay.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Soutien à l'Espagne ! Pedro Sánchez refuse de mettre des bases militaires à disposition des Américains, Trump annonce suspendre les accords commerciaux avec l'Espagne. Face aux pressions, l’UE doit rester unie, défendre sa souveraineté et faire respecter le droit international.

Fared is an independent journalist based in Syria. Please consider supporting his work as he continues to bring footage & breaking news to us. A lot of folks have been reskeeting his posts as tragedies erupt across the Middle East. Let's help him continue to do that www.gofundme.com/f/support-fa...

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

Quick note that we all held hands because a local First Nations Elder asked us to do so during the prayer song and following prayer. Like, this wasn’t spontaneous, it was a specific request and they graciously complied. The mayor and community have also been asking for non-partisan responses.

I haaaaate this (but it's excellent reporting, check it out!)

thank you mr president for your leadership in achieving our climate targets

"Regardless of the rhetoric in Davos, Carney’s cuts will leave Canada less equipped to deal with the reality the prime minister himself so eloquently described."

This is a 2023 death that Durbin actually investigated while Chair of Judiciary. (See: www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do... ) Which raises more questions: - Why did he put it out today like this with no date (suggesting it was new)? - After all that work, how could he think “reform” is apt?

Just saw this, and it makes me wonder how you think you should still be in the United States Senate — let alone a Democrat — if you’re going to follow up the first two paragraphs with the third. This is a dead child, and your response sounds like Al Gore talking about Reinventing Government.

After Suella Braverman's defection, 12.5% of Reform UK MPs have been photographed stepping on a guide dog

Why are you so mad? You vocally supported the sale of TikTok to Trump supporters to censor news out of Gaza. They’re censoring people now — you got what you voted for. www.newsweek.com/tiktok-ban-m...

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

no need to imagine. we have years of evidence already.

Temerity of this account to post at all. This is entirely on you. Entirely. We knew ICE was gonna be the Gestapo and you passed the bill. Talk to your own caucus. You're on the hook. Not another cent for you ever.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

There should be so much more noise about Lina Khan being a co-chair of the Mamdani transition team

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

I’m old enough to remember when they said this about MOOCs and then it turns out without a teacher and classmates to talk to, hardly anyone finishes their MOOC classes. Bc learning is social. We should absolutely kill the lecture and test model in most cases though. Small, active classes forever!

queen shit, rest in peace

I keep thinking about this scene when people talk about being mean to AI youtu.be/z906aLyP5fg?...

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.
