We’ve reached the point where big tech/AI cos have made a coalition to run ads in support of keeping fair use law as is… just heard one on @wsj.com’s daily podcast progressforai.com

The cost of the Iran War has been massive. Direct military costs will likely approach $100 billion. But the total could be closer to $1 trillion when long-term costs from inflation impacts, debt interest payments, and veterans’ benefits are included. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

Manosphere misogynists like Tate and the other guys Louis Theroux covered in his doc being popular w younger men is the most troubling element of This Era

I actually prefer the honesty of this, over those who try to claim "Judeo-Christian" while they use the "Judeo" prefix as window-dressing to implement Christian nationalist policies, such as banning abortion, an issue on which Jewish law simply does not coincide with contemporary Christian views.

What I say when people ask about a “Tea Party of the Left" www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

"People are less likely to oppose a technology if it is behind their grandmother’s cancer treatment or helping their child’s education. And they are more likely to trust that the state can oversee it if they believe that government works."

The US is so paranoid about Chinese tech, they've forced Polestar to withdraw from the US. Polestar is the best alternative to Tesla with high quality sedans, not to mention the excellent Android integration. What an absolute mess and self-own by the government. finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

"So we are left with a court that is not only unaccountable, but utterly unmoored from internal restraints on its own power." -- slate.com/news-and-pol...

"Unfortunately, console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027."

The voters who just elected democratic socialists in New York tended to be young and college-educated. They were also racially diverse -- one DSA candidate won predominantly Hispanic precincts by *35* points. Deep dive w/ @teoarmus.bsky.social here: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Massive kudos to whoever @bsky.app made adding/removing ppl from lists 100x faster /cc @alexbenzer.com Now pls for the love of god add reposts back in there :)

oh no they’re going to start calling democrats the same thing they’ve been calling democrats for 20 years now

the lesson is not to come across like mamdani the lesson is to come across as sincere and authentic as yourself i say to no one in particular in los angeles

We have an opportunity in this moment. A responsibility. To insist on everyone’s humanity, all the way through.

Friends, they’re not even trying to hide their voter suppression. ⬇️

genuinely crazy to watch these people freak out over what is essentially 21st century new dealism

X video algorithm is proving to be just as dark as the YouTube algo @kevinroose.com covered in Rabbit Hole I’ll finish a video, and it’ll auto-play some Libs of TikTok repost about climate change denial or vilifying trans people or, as happened just now, a Nick Fuentes clip Very bad

Good. We need to start talking A LOT about making Trump pay for all the things he did w/o the appropriate approvals, including the Bunker-Ballroom and the Flying Bribery Palace.

America, June 2026 Rick Rubin doing Polymarket ads, Timmy doing Kalshi ads, The White House doing a UFC fight Bad bad bad

First time since October 2024.

Tech cos flying every influencer and their mother out to Cannes Lions, fashion brands building insane sets for fashion shows (LV just built a beach runway with a literal ocean wave) … the affordability crisis is real for some and not for others

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

Those candidates are to my left on a number of issues. But if you conflate victories by a few lefty candidates with an entire party being taken over by people with open contempt for multiracial democracy and the rule of law, then you have entirely missed the boat.

democrats who don’t take loud and firm stances in favor of the regulation if AI and prediction markets are leaving votes on the table. also easy ways to demonstrate your independence from SV billionaires www.semafor.com/article/06/2...

“.. The agency did not address questions from The Post about what happened to the dead duck at the Reflecting Pool and whether its body would be tested for cyanobacteria or other causes of death.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Stephen Miller was reportedly the driving force behind the DOJ's recent memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care

the other DSA chapters have yet to build up the infrastructure of NYC-DSA and the vast majority '26 candidates are going to be non-DSA

deeply fascinated by the fact that i appear to be the only one who doesn't think New York primaries are representative of the party as a whole, but apparently a lot of pro-machine centrists are

If Lasher is serious, he should work with Bores on AI regulation, largely as a way to show the anti-regulation AI people that a Congressional seat can’t be bought, even when they might think they’ve done so

there's something remarkable how on a scientific level we're performing what would essentially be miracles and on a cultural/political level, we're going in reverse

The DSA-framing is ultimately not the key factor People want authenticity and vision, fearlessness to speak the truth and actually work to change things for the better The system doesn’t work for millions — so much feels broken and unfair, success doesn’t feel achievable — so ppl vote to break it

every stupid screwup in this admin is either 30 Rock-coded, Veep-coded, Curb Your Enthusiasm-coded or Always Sunny-coded. Algaegate is all four at once. Very powerful.

It is net good for everyone — but especially Jews — that @bradlander.bsky.social will have a spot on the national stage in Congress

Hasan’s not just talking about the candidates who won, but also everybody who supported them Right-wing media will paint anyone who is a progressive or to the left of that as a radical, but Hasan is right on the money here:

Eric Andre couldn't dream of making an interview this awkward

“…the answer cannot be for those of us on the broad left of center spectrum to cast out people with whom we have differences of opinion that span degrees and not chasms…” Tre Easton response to Jaime Harrison is 🎯

There is no convincing the “Mamdani is an antisemite” people otherwise — he can go to Shabbat services or a Passover Seder or meet with rabbis. Until he says “I love Israel,” these people won’t be happy

This is huge. Years of effort finally paying off! Congratulations to our YIMBY partners at the federal level.

Lander is a good politician and political operator. There are a lot of reasons to vote for him. But these numbers are Jews, New York Jews, saying they are not in Israel’s pocket and they are tired of being considered such.

seemingly underrated aspect of DSA's electoral successes against incumbent moderate and centrist democrats is simply that the latter got lazy

i think it is great that conservative students functionally work as a volunteer stasi for republican politicians and conservative media

You will not find any survey in which over 85% of American Jews support AIPAC's positions. Polling on support for Israel's "right to exist" is being used to rhetorically conscript American Jews as supporters of more controversial pro-Israel positions.

It’ll shock you to learn that the guy who organized a propaganda junket to Auschwitz to help Elon Musk temporarily cleanse himself of the stench of antisemitism wasn’t actually a great savior of the Jews. But the problem is much larger than Ben Shapiro. www.offmessage.net/p/right-wing...
