"Jens, you can't seriously call for someone to be fired because they've used AI?" Quite the opposite, I can do that all day every day, and I will continue doing so even when I'm the only one left on the planet who doesn't use this infernal bullshit-parrot-sycophant-disinformation app

Fascinating

Wow—got lead? And cadmium and arsenic? I guess so. #Murderland

New research shows lead service lines still expose millions of Americans to dangerous levels of lead. Experts warn replacing these pipes is urgent, but progress in cities like Chicago remains painfully slow.

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check. It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

BREAKING New York Attorney General Letitia James has issued her first statement in the aftermath of being indicted by President Trump’s DOJ.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump. Your cowardice is showing — weak men seek revenge on powerful women who hold them to account. But NY’rs don’t play. Our AG has been a fierce warrior for our rights, time & again. You better believe we’ll be there for hers.

Ukeleles being strummed en masse. Chickens openly addressing government officials. Line dancing in a public thoroughfare. Frogs, unicorns and dinosaurs getting their interspecies groove on. Portland is lost. May God and Donald Trump save what's left of the United States of America.

Ok, this is just funny. isportlandburning.com

Just finished the darkly fascinating Murderland by @calfraser.bsky.social Extraordinary writing and research. As someone else once put it: 'Behind every great fortune there is a crime'...

“Nothing could have prepared me for Murderland, which I consumed across state lines, in bars, parks, on trains, buses . . . Murderland is brave, ambitious, and tricky.” – @airmail.news @calfraser.bsky.social airmail.news/books/2025/1...

On Wednesday, Rep Malcolm Kenyatta D-Philadelphia was called "boy" and told to "be careful" off camera by Rep Scott Barger R-Blair/Huntingdon after making this statement on the PA House floor.

In her last interview before she died, Jane Goodall issued an urgent call to safeguard the Earth, warning that "humans are not exempt from extinction.”

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

RIP Jane Goodall 🙏 Her Trump description: "I see the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when he’s competing for dominance with another"

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist. No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men. The silence is deafening. Subscribe to support our journalism.

WHEEWWWWWWWWWW: "When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers . . . We agree that we would rather deplete our natural resources than make our own art or think our own thoughts." www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

So exhausting..

Transcript from President Restraining Order’s speech before the UN

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

It's wonderful when two sociopaths with the mindset of serial killers find each other.

the media won't cover it like this, because they like Trump, but anti-vax shit is like seriously, seriously unpopular, in every poll. Deeply toxic opinion. Vaccine requirements for school kids are 70% for vs 28% against incl. majority of GOP voters www.pewresearch.org/science/2023...

Watching Kamala Harris talking to Rachel Maddow is so disheartening. Such an intelligent, wise, and well-spoken person who could have been our president. Instead, we have a simple-minded buffoon because we are a country full of racist misogynists.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

They’re killing women.

Crockett: "If I had one issue with the Biden/Harris administration, it is the fact that they did not move forward and make sure that this man was put where he should've been put ... I never had a defended that had 34 convictions for felonies and did not spend one day in jail. Never in my life."

Swalwell: “There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions”

The words we use to talk about nature are disappearing. Here’s why that matters. We’ll need to do more than "touch grass" to revive them. grist.org/language/nat... #Climate #Language #Words #Dictionary #Environment #Culture #Librarians

There’s no evidence that any leftist group or network had anything to do with Kirk’s murder. Even Cox said he acted alone. They’re going to try to claim the people who celebrated his death or ridiculed him are supporting terrorism, map out any groups they’re affiliated with, and work backward.

A grotesquely shameful act.

Outrageous

A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies.
