A broadside assault on truth that must be taken seriously. This administration wants to replace independent scholarship and curation with propaganda and Prager U. drivel. The Kennedy Center was bad enough. This is worse.

Dr. Oz and Trump are nothing short of evil and is ruining lives. I was in chemo and overheard a patient talking about how she couldn't afford to come in for treatment. It's because Medicare cut the mileage from 75 to a 25 miles radius for rides to medical facilities. This will kill ppl!

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

Tucson, not even a checkpoint: agents smash windows, drag a US citizen to the ground, falsely claim he had a gun — then assault the man filming it. Fourth Amendment, First Amendment, § 242, all violated in one stop. This is what 'law enforcement' looks like when profiling replaces probable cause.

I confess I had not anticipated that living in DC during the second Trump term would involve quite so much immediate physical danger

I'm Gen Alpha, child of Millennials, but in actuality, I was raised by AI slop. Unlike lazy Gen Betas, I was alive before the world of COVID-19. I grew up actually reading good Reddit AITAs, instead of having it beamed into my neurochip. I admired real celebs, like Mr. Beast. We are not the same.

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

I'm not really sure why they're bothering with this. Patriot Front's stated positions really aren't all that different than the Trump administration's.

Honestly think it should be illegal to conceal the death or incapacity of an elected official.

No. We are not doing this. This is the second publication reporting Nuzzi’s love life news I’ve seen. She was supposed to go away! She had her 15 minutes as an attention whore & social climber who appalled us all by her train wreck of a lack of ethics. Let her vanish into the obscurity she deserves!

If you're hot and you're wondering where heat waves come from, you're in luck — I wrote about it on The Climate Brink www.theclimatebrink.com/p/from-the-a...

The “vibe shift” proclaimed Nov. 2024 - Jan. 2025 was just some elites—in business, media, law, and some higher ed admins—who kinda liked the fascism and gave themselves permission to accommodate it. That’s all it ever was. A close presidential election is not somehow a binding cultural referendum.

AI isn't 'inevitable'. Banning and resisting it isn't 'going against the tide'. We can reject this narrative and determine our own future. But it will be a fight, and it will take greater tech literacy. Which tools are bad and which are not? Who are the bad actors? Which politicians are fighting?

"Norway is imposing a near ban on the use of generative AI tools by elementary school pupils while also restricting their ​use in the education of older children to prevent a ‌negative impact on learning" Sometimes, good policymaking is incredibly simple. www.reuters.com/technology/n...

I just read a book about Brazilian public opinion in 2023 and it’s literally all like this. Increasingly, I think the thing that makes you the most out of touch and unrepresentative in society is having a coherent ideology.

How it started / how it’s going

Climate change comes for the Tour de France and no amount of hydration breaks can save it.

A Code Purple air quality alert is in effect for DC, and residents are advised to limit time outdoors

The only sci-fi writer who got everything right was JG Ballard

What if I told you they are STILL GOING OFF, now, at 12:38 AM, and the smoke is so thick you can't even see them?

Just another day of Elon Musk fully promoting white extinction in the U.S. www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMusk...

Paul Verhoeven undefeated

The security guard at the door:

apparently they told people to go to the department of commerce for shelter but the doors are locked, and ngl that’s a good bit. say what you will about the big guy, but he hates his supporters as much as we do

This is so fucking funny

it’s just staggering how the planners of this huge event had zero contingencies for things going wrong

this guy is the co-founder of Airbnb

i can’t stop laughing at this

The same people who think putting 2.5 trillion tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere can’t change the climate and weather think we can somehow do it overnight with “geoengineering”. 🤣

Just filed the story (up soon) but the organizers said they didn't have anything to do with this. They said the decision to remove the Clearwater was made "above their heads," implying that it was a federal decision.

Oh my fucking god

They’re not even trying to pretend any more This is what MAHA/MAGA wants The piece was written by Scott Atlas, Trump’s Covid czar—the dude who persuaded Trump to adopt the Great Barrington Declaration’s recommendation to end federal testing for COVID (if you don’t test, it just goes away 😳)

Happy Independence Day

Oh, man. Been a while, maybe 15 or so years but somehow still bummed to discover that Reeds Ginger beer completely reformulated years ago and now it's just soda.

Even the swedes are in on it.

Real haters don't leap. They wait and watch. They know the true reasons for hating will be Revealed

Very cool too how this chain of schools gets a glowing profile every few weeks even though reports like this exist.

This has about as much veracity as most of the stories we hear about the founding era. 👇🏻

Second only to www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRvV...

Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.

Surprised no one has posted it yet so here is Jimi Hendrix’s haunting Star Spangled Banner from 1969

please enjoy this tribute to america which i was made aware of thanks to @nmarkowski.bsky.social putting it in band chat. it’s what this country deserves

“While pages that would support Mamdani’s request to lower thermostats were deleted, so too were pages about water conservation, types of insulation, and its solar decathlon challenge.”

I'm so sorry maybe the heatwave has broken my brain but the intro of this video has me in tears like I keep replaying it and laughing harder I think I'm finally losing it www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNFF...

Including Greenland meltwater in this model adds substantial AMOC weakening—up to 4 sverdrups by 2300—but no abrupt collapse appears in the simulations, and recovery is gradual when forcing is removed. doi.org/hb9jw6
