In addition: the owner of the site, who is the richest person in the world and doesn’t need the money, has used the site to sell child sexual abuse material that was generated by his platform. Normal people used to not do business with those who sold child porn.

Finally, a worthy use for investing in silicon

I will be your dad bod Put your tiny hand in mine

Since it’s Father’s Day, I get to pretend that me losing 90% of the time in Super Smash Bros last night was me taking it easy on the kid. Such is my generosity.

I say again: being on Twitter destroys brains and warps perception of reality beyond recognition. People begin to believe things like: child sexual abuse material is acceptable, Mamdani is unpopular, and… this:

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

We sent out a questionnaire. Rep. Adriano Espaillat did not respond. But his Democratic Socialist opponent did.

More important question: have any of you *been* to the NYT office? I am drying up just picturing returning to the place.

“…and my dad, who literally wrote the book on how to fill your heart with a raging contempt for the colonialist oppressor.”

Some good news for a change! A judge ruled that Trump’s freeze on processing immigration applications for 39 countries is illegal and that processing must restart immediately. This ruling is a step in the right direction. Let’s keep up the fight.

Ozymandias watch: -Airports have three letter codes. LAX ATL ORD, etc -They don't get changed. DC National was re-named for RReagan but remains DCA. -One famous exception: Idlewild, IDL, became JFK in Dec 1963. Now another exception. Palm Beach Internat'l PBI is now DJT. Per Flying magazine:

Yet another example of how Twitter is brain poison that ruins people’s ability to engage with the real world.

~~it’s because they’re abusers~~

He really did

this is the result of antifascist resistance, in Minneapolis, Newark, and other cities and to protests against these facilities across the country. as Marisa says, it's a huge victory.

If Trump stuck two french fries in his nose and said he's going to tell Westeros to invade Narnia, Fox would devote 10 hours a day to the Narnian threat and the New York Times would run articles headlined "President Considers Expanding Conflict Zone; Critics Raise Questions"

ICE or federal LEOs serving as ICE, apparently. the dead person had nothing to do with the chase except being killed by it

Did DoD just admit in a court filing that it used xAI's Grok Gov Model to hit the girls' school on the first day of the Iran war? Based on some passages flagged by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social in DoD's recent filing in NAACP's case against X, it looks like it did 1/

It's very, very revealing that the World Cup travelers going viral about their U.S. experience are white Europeans who pay to post on X.

I voted for @bradlander.bsky.social! You can too, then you'll be cool like me, I'm a cool guy!

This is the legal defense fund for the 15 anti-ICE organizers who were recently arrested in Minneapolis. Please contribute generously. They are going to have millions of dollars worth of needs. chuffed.org/project/1865...

I don’t blame the filmmakers. We’re fully in society’s Torment Nexus years. Every cop with a Punisher sticker is disqualifying, not just for them, but their bosses; we’ve moved from not understanding subtext to not understanding text.

Remember, Gillibrand's son worked his internship at A16Z — the same firm that hired a man as a partner solely on the basis that he strangled one of Senator Gillibrand's constituents to death.

nothing in the US is getting better until we start start treating this kind of thing as what it is: a form of bribery

...especially because all the people who carry out this panic also fund the churches that systematically sexually abuse children

this is one of the weirdest things conservative elites tell themselves and it's become load bearing to their entire anti anti Trump ideology

@chadloder.dev I am still laughing about FPGAs as trans chips, this just makes me love them so much more than I already did

Ah yes, the psychopath who brutally tortured and murdered tens of thousands, “the OG border patrol agent” Absolutely insane shit, holy fuck

Sign! I did! Be a pain in the ass that your city council member dreads encountering! I am!

We are asking the NYC City Council @council.nyc.gov to advocate for library workers and patrons as the NYC budget season heats up and commit to allocating 0.5% of the budget to public libraries. Make sure your Council Member knows where you stand! ➡️ shorturl.at/UK71f

I stood for hours in bitter cold to hear him say, “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Today, not 6 months later, in the heat, in the same spot, millions made that manifest: “What a gift it is to be brought together by pure, unfiltered joy.”

The genius of Obama's big speech is this: He effectively stated that Trump/MAGA do not accept the Declaration of Independence's promise of equality. In the battle over our 250th anniversary, we need to put that basic truth squarely on the agenda. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

I hadn't looked at my endorsements on LinkedIn in a few years, and just realized... they may have gotten a bit unruly

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire tax, we could fully cover free community college in America.

I regret to inform that the new Siri is pretty good.

Did the New York Times just BOTH SIDES Ken Paxton's sweetheart deal for a child sex predator. Yes, yes it did.

YOU CAN WIN… AS LONG AS YOU KEEP…

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

The extent to which voters do not want 70 year olds in office any longer is deeper than we think.

To my recollection, the stated reason Bill Clinton was impeached was for lying to Congress. Is that correct?

Ending AIDS assistance to South Africa because the government didn’t go along with Trump’s lie about white genocide. No reason for this other than the same white supremacist eugenics Elon Musk is busily promoting.

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

Me too!! 😍
