At least two shareholder groups have accused the Disney board of breaching its fiduciary duty by bowing to "improper political and affiliate considerations." www.avclub.com/disney-share...

This is a very thoughtful video. Obviously just a theory but some very good observations. 1) The drugs have few side effects 2) Taken at sufficient quantities or in certain ways there must be serious ramifications (e.g. death) 3) The drugs are easily accessible 4) The drugs are inexpensive

Just recently @hankgreen.bsky.social had a good video putting forth a theory as to why a bunch of people are embracing certain drugs as miracle cure-all's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC9g...

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Kimmel is back, but many Americans won’t be able to watch. Two companies — Nexstar and Sinclair — control hundreds of local TV stations and have business deals pending Donald Trump’s approval. They won’t air Kimmel tonight. I’m pressing for answers on potential corruption.

Holy shit

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Fundamentally a democracy needs a way to hold bad actors, who will just lie all the time, to account.

Agreed! In today’s Supreme Court, Jimmy Kimmel would have an extremely strong First Amendment claim against Trump’s FCC for pressuring Disney and ABC to censor fully protected commentary by firing Kimmel. Either 8-1 or 9-0. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This is so damn wrong and must be resisted. This is particularly true for queer people: if we don’t speak out and inform everyone about this shit, then we’ll be next.

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Every ranking member of a House or Senate committee should be doing exactly this.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

ICE killed a Chicago area man last week. His name was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. He wasn't "the worst of the worst." He was a cook. ICE hopes we'll forget about him. We won't.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Elon sharing the name of 66 random not-famous people to his many millions of followers because this person said they said things she didn’t like about Charlie Kirk. I erased the names and employers from the screenshot but you can see their jobs. Nurses, teachers etc.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

Can you even imagine what would happen if this existed with Obama's signature on it?

The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

I dunno, maybe the Supreme Court majority could have the decency to bestir themselves to write an actual, you know, opinion, with their names on it, explaining their endorsement of using race and ethnicity as part of a national policy of harassing and intimidating non-white Americans.

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

My neighbor in Orlando mentioned this EXACT concern to me last night!

1. Autism existed before Tylenol 2. Some women have autistic children and never took Tylenol while pregnant 3. Correlation is not causation. 4. RFK Jr is a douche canoe 5. Not normally a huge fan of big business, but Tylenol should sue.

Yeah this is real. Mike Johnson said Trump was an FBI informant in the Epstein case.

I have a hard time imaging just how brutal the historical evaluation of this period will be.

Here's what a Mississippi judge wrote in 1979 about school vaccine mandates. Things have changed. www.gravityisgone.com/mississippi-...

An HR person broke character on LinkedIn and shared that after 4 months of unemployment she was going to become homeless and live out of her car. This is the reality of today’s job market. The worst part is that unlike previous recessions, we have a government that’s actively making things worse.

Still thinking about this mind-boggling exchange regarding the former CDC director today RFK JR: I told her that she had to resign because I asked her, “are you a trustworthy person?” and she said “no.” WARREN: What?

Watching the six GOP appointed SCOTUS justices try to tapdance around Bruen to explain why this is perfectly acceptable under the Second Amendment is going to be quite something.

WARREN: Did you tell the head of the CDC that if she refused to sign off on your changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, that she had to resign? RFK Jr: No. I told her she had to resign because I asked her 'are you a trustworthy person?" and she said no WARREN: This is not what she has said

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

The ad campaign criticizing the use of masks by federal agents working in Washington, D.C. has expanded to 115 bus stops, per organizers

Joe Rogan is spreading climate misinformation on one of the country’s most popular podcasts, scientists say—and he’s not the only one.

holy shit dude using a fake deployment for wildland fire crews from a fire that’s only 13% contained during peak western US fire season to detain multiple firefighters and remove the crews from the fire is a scale of evil & dangerous I can’t fully communicate to people not from wildfire regions

They’re obsessed with attacking Mamdani, but they sure did get his campaign colors right. Even the VCs who lie about him make t-shirts that honor his brand. It’s another reason Newsom is a dipshit to just be amplifying Trump’s message & branding — you need to be so distinctive people promote yours.

It an interesting dynamic. Documentation has always been a challenge to maintain, but LLMs are pretty good at maintaining it and of course, if well-maintained, docs can be very helpful. That's especially true when dealing with an LLM that lacks much context into the intention of the code.

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

My mother always told me that if I was feeling bad about myself, I should go help somebody. I’ll have to tell her about these findings.

The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

AND NOBODY WILL ASK HIM SHIT! In contrast to Mamdani constantly being asked about a thing *he never even said*!

Homeschooling can be one of the most effective forms of education (highly responsive) but is obviously going to run a wide range of experiences.

How is it not the policy of every journalist to at least follow up once on every question if not answered directly? And then, if the follow-up is not answered directly then make it clear that the question is being avoided.

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
