“I have never done more suicide assessments than when I’ve run credit reports with clients and found coerced debt or identity theft.” @katieherchenroeder.bsky.social digs into a widespread and rarely talked about form of debt: coerced debt.

This is the kid who NYU is considering withholding graduation from for speaking out against Gaza. This speech. Ask yourself why. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTj5mEgHo/

Thank God!

lsoing my mind rn

Tesla stock is pumped every Friday on options expiration like clockwork. Tesla is a complexly manipulated stock there can be no doubt $tsla $tslaq

At Pope Leo XIV's first Mass as leader on Friday, he pledged to align himself with “ordinary people” and not with the rich and powerful. Many see the first American pope as a continuation of his predecessor, Pope Francis, in his advocacy of the poor, migrants and a more open church.

I think a big part of the pushback against GLP-1 meds, despite the strong science, is because wellness industry folks are losing a lot of clients. That Slender Wonder programme they sold in Joburg with the HGC injections cost way more than Ozempic.

That image isn’t giving me hope.

Breaking News: An air traffic control facility at Newark Airport suffered another radar outage, the latest disruption at one of the nation’s busiest airports.

This administration takes antisemitism seriously. That's why we removed The Diary of Ann Frank from all federal libraries.

This won’t last long but WHAT?!

Pope Leo XIV has seen the movie #Conclave He watched it right before the actual conclave (via NBC News)

Can't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed

There it is…

Worrying the extent to which Afriforum and its offshoots get treated as "representatives" of Afrikaners when they are in fact a particular ideological grouping, not even cultural. South Africa is diverse, and noone should hijack a whole ethnicity for political goals www.news24.com/politics/glo...

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers

good to see, more of this from everyone please

Steve Carell has to do so much acting to hide just how hot he is, but as he gets older, his acting is increasingly not good enough to misdirect us.

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

The Guardian has an 'explainer' about the India-Pakistan conflict that manages to avoid stating that the border between the countries was originally drawn by an Englishman who had never been to India and signed off on in a hurry by Lord Mountbatten because he had to get back to Britain for a party.

🔒If you read between the lines of the DA's employment equity court case, it is about milking the current depressed economic environment to build the case against transformation, writes Qaanitah Hunter www.news24.com/opinions/col...

To parent today is to encounter an endless firehose of marketing, data, tech optimization, and pastel branding. But rather than set fire to the machines, @amandahess.bsky.social's new memoir offers a refreshing approach to processing this digital behavior. The result is a gentle revolution.

This is a lewk!

#MetGala Tems got some campy Afro dandy on ! Love it

I adore this interpretation

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

I’m now reading Reid Hoffman’s book, “blitzscaling.” My general impression is that Silicon Valley’s obsession with “get big fast,” prioritizing fakeable growth metrics over actual product quality, is a big part of what has ruined tech. I suspect I will not like this book.

The CRAZY thing nobody is talking about too is that nothing is ever gonna be cheap again. If corporations see that we’ll pay these elevated prices, they have no reason to not make those prices their baseline

That story about John Fetterman’s stroke and its very serious symptoms made me so sad. After 40, stories like that remind you that your health is your only true wealth.

I just saw someone asking why don’t Chinese companies eat the price of the tariffs instead of passing them on to the consumer. My brother in Christ, the tariffs are 145%. It’d be cheaper for them to give it to you for free than pay $145 tax on selling you a $100 item. 🤦🏾‍♂️

“In other words, the BBC behaves much like Starmer’s government: appeasing critics on the right and far right, while suppressing the left.”

With DEI out of the way, we can finally enjoy a real white boy summer

"woke" meant "being aware of injustice & inequality... individuals who are attentive to social issues, particularly race & discrimination" so... a group of people turned "being aware of injustice & inequality" into an insult I think often on what this says about so many ppl in this country

X is a propaganda channel owned by a right-wing billionaire and my replies are filled bots and Nazis. Here is why I am staying on it.

We wanted to understand what today's lackluster GDP report means for the future of the American economy. So we talked to three unemployed Joe Rogan fans at a White Castle in Toms River.

A better copy!

Breaking news: The U.S. economy shrank in the first three months of 2025, contracting by an annualized rate of 0.3 percent, a stark reversal after nearly three years of solid growth, as tariff-related uncertainty upended spending patterns and raised fears of an impending recession.

NEW: Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. By @jessicamiller.bsky.social, with @sltrib.com

Probably as good a time as ever to re-share our story on why AI language learning is garbage and how you can do so much better. unseen-japan.com/ai-japanese-...

Someone should remake "Conclave," but from the point of view of inconvenienced tourists

I genuinely cannot understand why Tesla wants fElon back at the helm. Hasn't he done ENOUGH damage to that company? 🙄

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

American innovation.

The Internet of Things ended up being the internet of unsupported products. Google is ending support for 1st & 2nd generation Nests and completely pulling out of Europe. Imagine having to replace the thermostats in your home because of a reorg at some big tech meant it was no longer a priority.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.
