George Clooney was the best movie Batman.

"Not-voting to send a message" and "not voting because 🤷‍♂️" are entirely indistinguishable signals, and I guarantee if you're not-voting to send a message, nobody hears it, nobody's listening for it. The choices in our system are: Team Red, Team Blue, or "I don't care either one is fine." That's all.

1. I've written a few times about Mamdani and what he can do for trans people to uphold his promises. But there are disingenuous people who apparently do not read articles, so I figured I would lay out his power and what other trans journos want him to do here directly and what is in his power.

there is a sort of darkly poetic quality to ol donny learning the lesson from a buckling american political and legal system that there's no jam he can't wriggle out of and wriggling himself into an uncontrollable regional war and attendant global economic crisis

🎬 NEW SERIES: Policy on "The Pitt"   Great storytelling takes abstract policy and turns it into something human. "The Pitt" is doing that every week — and @awright2care.bsky.social is breaking it down.   First up: S2E7, where a patient refuses treatment because he can't afford it.

It's absolutely astounding to me that there are real people in the year of our lord 2026 who genuinely believe that AI-generated "art" has a future

This woman is facing a copyright claim for her own music by an AI company that took her youtube page and copied her.

Another one of those what-if-it-happened-in-another-country moments: The president is suing the government for $100 million dollars for searching his home for the classified documents he stole, and the attorney who represented him on those charges is currently leading the Justice Department.

I do worry that the mainstream press is elevating this guy. He's polling at 4%. He knows he's not going to be governor of Florida, but he can still become a national figure

The fight we’ve been waiting for, the Battle of Brattle: Waymo vs. Cambridge turkey. @universalhub.com

Slava Tsukerman, Who Directed the Cult Classic ‘Liquid Sky,’ Dies at 86 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/m... I loved LIQUID SKY so much That and REPO MAN made me think everything was going to be cool as soon as i graduated That didn’t work out but it wasn’t his fault I blame myself RIP to an original

Boy, what a terrible headline. We *need* the wealthy to participate in public services. If only poor people ride the bus, then rich people won't wield their power in support of public transit or, worse, will wield their power *against* it.

In response to a generic “Happy Passover” post, it’s just a sea of “Christ is King” comments, comments about Israel, memes about Chasidic Jews & memes about Netanyahu controlling the Instagram account.

This, much like the attack on the school in the early days, is called a "Double-Tap Strike." The point is to wait until people show up to help, and then kill those people, along with any survivors. It deliberately targets medical personnel and the wounded. It's a war crime. It's one we're fond of.

Bondi's still gonna get deposed!! Now she has even less to lose by cooperating completely with the committee! How on earth would firing her be in Trump's interest as far as Epstein testimony goes? Does Seth Moulton even hear himself here?

CPSC is the only good government agency left.

Anyway, I bring this up because I see there's a lot of debate on the timeline specifically around @blackskyweb.xyz using AI in moderation, and while it is isn't my place to tell any community what to use in their T&S work, I do generally think AI has a roll and can be used reponsible.

can't wait for J. Divans's next memoir, "We Are Really Cool: White Men And Masculinity"

thoughtful to wait until after women's history month

I wrote last winter about the return of the r-word. I'm so mad. www.startribune.com/r-word-slur-...

Please don’t use algorithm avoidance speech on here. You don’t lose points/views here for saying the real word, but what does happen is your euphemism will scream right past someone else’s muted words. If someone needs to avoid mentions of suicide, your unalive has just put it in their timeline.

"The Constitution is not a suicide pact" is a favorite old chestnut with security hawks who hate individual rights, and I think we should be very clear about this: Actually, it is.

Forget Bryon Noem. The spouse-of-a-Trump-Cabinet-Secretary you should pay attention to is Vince McMahon, who is currently being sued for sex trafficking and sexual assault. His accuser, Janel Grant, has filed a declaration with truly horrifying details. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

my partner @scoiattolo.mountainherder.xyz is responsible for a true Twitter all timer about Taylor Swift’s dazzle camouflage

“The fact that machines can generate meaning in the first place is an existential curiosity.” no it isn’t because no they don’t.

This story feels like it came right out of a rejected Night Court script.

It seems increasingly clear that this is literally the business strategy for AI companies: make their users literally dependent on AI assistants for basic job functions before ramping up the fees by 5-10x.

Well, and if you let all your ability to function without it atrophy, it’s “worth” even more. Once you can’t write a paragraph, what could you be charged for the ability to generate one?

One of the things about the rampant spread of online antisemitism is uhhhhhhh most people don’t actually know any Jews so it’s very easy for them to develop insane beliefs about us

This is correct. This is the best post.

They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. #USForestService

This is an excellent contender for most hilarious tweet exchange ever

At your service sir

Don't know about Twitter, but this is my favorite Tumblr post

Toad stayed in the bed, and Frog stayed in the closet. They stayed there for a long time, just feeling very brave together.

My proposed Sluggo solo feature has hit its first snag.

This morning I got to watch Trump's birthright citizenship case get carefully torn to shreds, then the Artemis II launch, and now this, and my mood is now much better than it's been in a while

LMAO THERE COULD BE NO CLEARER INDICATOR THAT BLUESKY IS FOR OLD PEOPLE Remember to take your blood pressure meds today, peepaws and meemaws

Yeah that’s cool

The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Can we have a ruling on whether #Artemis II is (a) "a mission to the Moon" or do we have to say (b) "a lunar flyby" just because they're not landing? I say (a) is okay: they're definitely going to the Moon! And past it! They're just not touching down.

My thinking on this case is that Clarence Thomas should have been removed from office immediately when we found out his wife had plotted to overthrow our constitutional republic

Look, I have never been a particular space nerd, I wasn't as deeply affected by Challenger as the rest of my generation, I know perfectly well that a crewed moon mission at this time is scientifically pointless ... but damn if I don't find this all incredibly affecting.
