a reminder that the USPS has new rules that make it very important to not put your mail ballot in a normal mailbox in the final days: boltsmag.org/usps-postmar...

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

again i argue threads is actually what people think bluesky is lol

I wonder if the sign painter is a huge CHVRCHES fan?

sometimes I think about how there must be an open convo at nyt about whether and how to write an oped about the phrase “when it happens”

I feel like this is the thing that's going to break me. People demand workable financially sustainable solutions that fully account for all preferences & access needs from lay public/active transport advocates but if you criticise car infrastructure, you're supposed to propose a solution or shut up.

Wild times over on Threads. There's a pro-Becerra influencer calling on her followers to screenshot and track people who vote for Steyer so they'll all know "who is safe and who is not." I don't think that's super healthy, tbh

Celebrating this is morally depraved.

bret stephens really is embedded in the trump administration i am trying to delete this

Anthropic and OpenAI are dangerous and unsustainable companies that shouldn’t be taken public. The AI bubble is a con and retail investors are the marks. AI doesn’t have ROI, it’s nothing like AWS or Uber, and it’s got no post-bubble recovery story. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKD...

Don’t buy potting soil or other gardening products that contain peat.

Good evening, I'm at the Montrose Center here in Houston for a vigil for Persia Amarra Conway, the transgender woman who was found dead in SW Houston. Her family is going to speak the media soon and give us an update.

As of June 1st, SNAP requirements have changed and that could impact your access to benefits. @nysfocus.com breaks it down: nysfocus.com/2026/06/02/n...

Rubio is a white supremacist. Trump raised the refugee cap from 7,500 to 17,500 for the fiscal year in a May 21 emergency order. Those slots are only open to white Afrikaners. As of April, just over 6,000 refugees have been admitted to the US this fiscal year – all but 3 of them from South Africa.

Does one need a lesson for that?

The Broadview 6 (-2) have released their motion for legal fees. This table makes it more clear how Boutros' intervention played into the known misconduct. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I just discovered that I spent actual time in my life preparing to give comments about a paper at a conference, and it was written by fucking Claude. "I used it because I don't know anything about Family Law," so he decided to just whip up some slop then bring it to a family law

yes, of course yer a writer if you use AI, in the same way a cheese grater creates cheese.

JUST IN: Attorneys for the now-cleared "Broadview Six" argue in a new court filing the U.S. attorney's office should have to pay legal fees and other expenses due to "sordid" misconduct. They're asking for discovery and a hearing -- where key players could have to testify.

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

This Pride month be like Batman and become a rainbow of dazzling action whenever you encounter bigotry!

The best thing that you can do to prevent dementia is to correct for hearing loss. This has been studied and documented.

This is good: Dems are moving to force Rs to vote on Trump's corrupt IRS immunity deal, now that the slush fund is in doubt. The exemption from IRS audits is getting overlooked, but it shouldn't. Dems tell me they're pushing for votes to kill it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2112...

hi everyone! as your local resident witch and Celtic pantheon pagan *AND* British built heritage historian, please, PLEASE stop leaving lit candles as offerings in Neolithic monuments (cough cough West Kennet Long Barrow)

Our employer, the University of Southern California, is asking Donald Trump to overturn the results of our democratic union election before the count is even finished.

Trump administration buildings are now becoming infested with bed bugs. Employees are reportedly becoming sick from the infestations in the building that houses the agency responsible for mitigating the spread of invasive pests in the US. www.notus.org/policy/usda-...

it's incredible how quickly a fridge goes from "omg too full" to "omg I have nothing to eat but mustard"

People’s water have to come out the pipes brown just because he wont hire a story board artist?

The California State University system is not just any public university system, it is the largest with 400,000+ students over 20+ campuses. It is the bellwether on the state of mass higher education in the US. The state? Crumbling.

June 2, 1776: The revolt of the colonies "proves very advantageous to the commercial nations in the north of Europe, as it causes the North American commerce to flow into them, which was formerly secured to the English." Trade with America is brisk in Marseille, France; Cadiz, Spain; and Lisbon.

Genuinely, one of the most important tasks before us is to enforce social norms around being a good and ethical person - especially re: institutional culture. The DOJ and similar gov’t agencies need to be rebuilt completely.

Gonna be a generational burden to recreate the norm that scamming other people is bad when our positions of leadership are being filled by proud scammers and people who previously only succeeded in the field of social media engagement bait

They're looking for a pretext to attack the ACA. Again.

Back when I was a full-time debunker, I would have meetings with Very Important People about how to defeat fake news. What tools would we use? Apps? Anti-disinfo schools?? Warning labels?? I would say "support antiracism and antimisogyny initiatives" and watch the light go out of their eyes

Antisemitism and anti-Muslim hate have flared across the west, with each rising to record levels. But, as I write in the @theguardian.com, these two hatreds have rarely been seen as related dangers—let alone confronted as a common threat to societies.

If you're response to the vanity and frivolity of your opponent is just "doesn't this remind you of trans people" I don't think you're winning new voters or helping trans people

How dumb is the stock market right now? It's "one sentence from Jensen Huang is worth $50 billion" dumb. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The money was always there for the good things.

Today is Lou Gehrig Day. Incredible baseball player. Even more incredible human being.

nice work, important context is that the similar figures for Uber and Lyft (with no passenger, obv, rather than no human) are also 40 percent plus as piece notes

Happy Pride Month!

A week or so ago, I was looking for a couple books by an author from 10 and 15 years ago and my library didn't have them. I requested them via a library form. Today I got a notification in Libby that they purchased both titles. Asking your library for writers' books is an amazing way to support us.

Miss. Rep. Christopher Bell, D-Jackson, was direct with citizens about redistricting. “A lot of districts will be redrawn,” Bell told the audience on May 18. “We may lose some of them, we may not, but we have an opportunity to come out and vote, and that's the biggest thing that's going on as well.

The US is now spending more on construction for data centers than public transportation infrastructure. Data centers contribute to higher electricity costs and air pollution —all while enriching a handful of Big Tech CEOs. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop them?

North Carolina House Bill 1232 proposes that men be allowed to 'defend life' by killing women who use some forms of contraception. ncnewsline.com/2026/05/27/n...

The Austrian Post Office Savings Bank is a famous piece of Viennese Secession architecture, built in 1904-1906 by top architect Otto Wagner. It’s beautiful but hard to photograph well – however, check out the modernist angels on the rooftop!
